Star Wars: The Old Republic
2009-06-01, 3:46 PM #1
Want. The thing I hate is its a cinematic trailer. Like Blizzard, I wish more for the realism of the trailers in the actual gameplay (especially with regards to WoW).

Either way, looks :awesome:

The CGI quality in this one trailer seems to singlehandedly beat the Clone Wars.

Still, a trailer is a trailer. For second I thought they would announced a new Jedi Knight game... done by another studio besides LucasArts.

OMFG! :O
ITS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!

I'm going to work my *** off until I get a computer that can run this game at full. Even if I have to starve.
Nothing to see here, move along.

You're going to have to save up even longer for the monthly fee. It's an MMO.
2009-06-01, 6:28 PM #7
You won't be able to do any of this stuff in game, which makes me kind of hate the game more.

However, that was better than the prequels. They should spend the money on a good movie instead.

I can make an extra 18 bucks a month for this, I might get only 1 or 2 meals a day, but I can do it.

I know... THEY SHOULD REALLY MAKE A DAMN 3D MOVIE, PROPERLY DONE ON THE KOTOR ERA.

Lucas money grabbing tactic #116: MMORPG take 2! Star Wars Galaxies was a bust but now we have a new ploy! Shiny graphics! People like shiny graphics! Hopefully that will pour in more hordes of neckbeards and put mad loot into my coffers! AaaahahahahAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

Predicting and expecting and hoping it fails miserably. Perhaps then Lucas Arts will realize that they should have made KotOR 3 instead of yet another fuecking MMORPG!!!

It looks good, but it's going to have to be a very good game for me to buy it. The fact that it's an MMO does absolutely nothing for me.

I agree. In fact, I would pay for a mini series of that quality of animation before I'd pay for a mmorpg

I agree BUT, BioWare is making it. Not LucasArts!

That video is one of the best ever depictions of what Jedi fighting Jedi should look like.

I'm thinking a movie or TV series set during this time using that animation would be better than anything Lucas has done in the last fifteen years.

How about a reboot that compresses the entire first trilogy into one movie?

Yes, with a lot of explosions.

And Darth Vader saying "ALL MEN SHOULD DIE"

And then Luke says "NO! THEY SHOULD HAVE THE CHOICE!"
"His Will Was Set, And Only Death Would Break It"

"None knows what the new day shall bring him"
2009-06-01, 10:42 PM #24
And then Darth Vader transforms into a Tie Fighter and Luke Transforms into an X-wing, and they battle over Mission City. Then the kid...let's go with R2-D2, slams a cube...er...photon torpedo into a small exhaust shaft that is 2 meters wide on the Tie-Fighter, destroying it forever.

Maybe they are making a 3d star wars animation in the old republic series, that will launch side by side or after the old republic, and its a big industry secret...

Or they love spending lots of money on potential material and only showing a glimpse of it...

WHY CAN'T WE GET WHAT WE WANT TO BUY?

Because if we got what we wanted they wouldn't be able to keep milking it for $$$.

Ditto. MMOs lost appeal to me many many years ago. I like video games, not second jobs that cost me money instead of make me money.
2009-06-02, 11:43 AM #36
yeah i dont really want to buy the game aaaand pay a monthly subscription to spend hours and hours and hours of my life playing constantly.

on the other hand... OH how i wish they would make this into a movie... or a new KotOR...

There are 720 hours in a 30 day month.

Even if you play only 1 hour a night, in the end, it'll be worth 50 cents an hour, which is less than a coffee you might buy on the way to work, or the bubble gum on the way to school.

You'll pay 10$ to spend 1 hour at the movies. Or 10-25$ to own a brand new one.

While I agree that MMO's can often turn into a second job rather than a game, it can still make for a hobby that doesn't cost that much. I just don't think that the "I don't want to pay 15$ a month to play a game!!!" is moot unless you live in Mexico and can't buy a 60$ video card.

Well in the case of WoW, I played during the free Beta and got bored of it by the time the game was actually released. If this MMO is anything like KotOR was, I'd consider it.

yeah, i guess its really not that bad. just kind of miffs me that your have to spend 40-50$ on the game itself. and then its like "oh you mean you want to play the game that you just spent 45$ on? well, that will be an extra 10-15$ a month"

There are a lot of expenses other games don't have. While I don't doubt that they are raking in tons of profit doing this, support for an mmo (free upgrades, free new content, etc.) could not be upheld on base game profits. Now, with that said, with 11 million users Blizzard could probably afford to bump down the monthly cost significantly and still make a more-than-meaty profit.

Mind you, there are some games out there like Guild Wars, Battlefield, TF2, that offer free updates, fixes, new content and dedicated server for free. How they manage to do it and still rake in enough profit, it beats me.

For my part, I don't mind paying 15$ a month if the game entertains me. Usually I'll be entertained by an MMO for 2-3 months and then quit. Mind you, I probably wont be playing another mmo for several years to come, since any new ones will not work on my older PC, and I have plans to buy a new computer any time soon. I did enjoy playing MMO's when I was in a tougher financial situation because they are a cheap, rather entertaining (for me) time sink that kept me from being utterly bored and wishing I had money to do stuff.
