SWTOR Unbelievable videos. Unbelievable MMO

http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/816935/bioware-mmo-project/videos/gcom09_oldrepublic_spc1_082109.html

One small step for Bioware. One giant leap for MMO gaming.

 

It looks like the character is floating, not walking. I saw the first 5 seconds and that was enough for me.

 

Love the dialogue system, just like Mass Effect

 

Just like KOTOR

 

It doesn't look bad for an MMO. I obviously knew the graphics would suck compared to the debut trailer but i'm still underwhelmed.
It would have been way better if we could get a true sequel with maybe drop-in co-op as well as superior graphics and gameplay.

 

Yeah I would have like to see a sequel as well. It can not look as good because its an mmo. It does allow you to immerse yourself in the star wars universe for much longer tho.

 

Its not really looking like an MMO at all so far, very single player looking, still early though.

 

Looks really nice to be honest, lots of original concepts... Lets see if they manage to release the game without many game breaking bugs, if they manage to do so im sure it will have a huge success

 

I am really looking forward to this game. I always hated the pointlessness of SWG, there is pretty well no story. And don't get me started on the Legacy questline >.< Plus I really hate grinding, I am more of a single player video gamer so SWTOR looks like its going to be great. I don't see what is wrong with the graphics, its stylized realism, I think it looks good, a nice break from other MMOs. I am really hyped about the Bounty Hunter class, it looks like you can get into the great hunt, so I assume you have the choice at higher levels to become a Mandalorian or not. As far as I am concerned this game just can't release soon enough.

Lets just hope they don't make a spy class >.<

 

SWG was a sandbox RPG, you made your own point.

 

looks good im excited for it. would have prefered a Kotor 3 but i will play this anyway.

meh. i think a spy class would work in this game. star wars has lots of spys. i wouldnt play it, but it would work.

 

I guess you missed this at 0:49 into the video...

 

Mass effect with Star Wars Skins

 

mass effect was kotor with non star wars skins. if the game has similarities it doesnt really matter, its not a clone, completely different story, different engine different gameplay.

 

Hmm I guess I didn't word it quite right. What I was trying to say was nothing one did really seemed to matter or affect anything. Most of the quests were fetch this or kill that guy or help this friend or whatever, it just didn't have the epic-ness one would expect from a star wars game. Now I didn't play it when it first came out so I don't know if it was different then. I only played it for about half a year in maybe the last year or two, so it could have been a lot better before all the changes, I don't know.

 

I don't suppose you have entered the Restuss PVP area in SWG anytime recently have you?

When I say spy, I mean a SWG spy. If SWTOR had a non-combat spy, with no combat abilities, and no ambushes, and was purely for recon and gathering intel that would be fine by me.

 

This looks amazing. Good graphics, amazing gameplay. Too bad I probably won't be able to afford it over $5 a month haha which it probably will

 

The redhead in the imperial part of the walkthrough reminds me of Sierra from Dollhouse. Anyway, it's shaping up to be a good game and I'm glad they kept the perspective the same as the KotORs. Hope there will be pvp too especially in quests.

 

I also agree that it doesn't look like a mmo at all, I wish they could have shown like a group running a dungeon or taking down a raid boss or something

 

Well, the Sith gameplay did kind of remind me of Battlefront (Vader force choke, with depleting bar, and leaping lightsaber battles).
And I did notice some pop-in too. I'm also wondering how it will look and run with more people and instances.

 

I wonder how the class system would work. Obviously Jedi and Sith are going to (or at least should) be the elite of the elite. How will the bounty hunters, drones, and stuff fare in the game? I hope they don't take it off the SW track by major balancing and weakening the Jedi and Sith.

 

im pretty sure everything will be balanced without needing to weaken jedi or sith.

take boba fett - he's a bounty hunter yet he can easily take most jedi. or han solo, he's been in tough spots that jedi didnt make it out of and he did. star wars is just plain epic.

 

Im interested to see what the spread of the classes will be like. I feel a ton of people are goning to make a jedi or a sith and relatively few people are going to make anything else.

 

Ya, thats what I was thinking too. I think for the most part if you're a jedi or sith you'll be in the training stages, but there are also so many non jedi, -kicking characters like Boba Fett and IG-88.

I honestly think this game looks awsome. I hate "real" loking MMOs as they
tend to look like crap. I probably won't have time to play it though MMOs are too time consuming for me.

I can see how you think that, but me personally, I know I'd make a smuggler over almost anything. And Fett is universally recognized as one of the coolest things in Star Wars, so you can bet lots of people are gunna want to make a bounty hunter.

 

Was this 20 Minute Developer Walkthrough already posted?

 

Finally an MMO worthy of me cancelling my WoW subscription. (Already cancelled for AoR and AoC, but quickly found my way back) I think I need to change my panties...

 

i can not wait for this game

so awesome. and the thing that I love the most is that you don't have to be "good" and a high level to enjoy part of the great story and combat system. unlike other games....cough cough WOW cough cough

I LOVEd kotor and i will love this too

so far I think the sith warrior class is for me. although i only have seen the 4 classes they have shown in the videos.

the environment looks insane too. they really put in a lot of effort.

this is how i see it and LIKE it, other people not so much maybe.

Strong Story with the bonus of playing with other people - SWTOR and Diablo 2 and maybe 3

STrong MUltiplayer mmo style with quests and things to do, not so strong story - WoW and Aion, from what I understand.

personally i like the first option more because it makes me feel more important. This will be more like Kotor than like WoW people, i hope u understand that.

 

Finally we can have jedi wars without every person in the universe screaming unfair....
HURRAY!
