First Star Wars: The Old Republic gameplay footage debuts

I know, I love me some NoScript ^^

Yes keep Lucas 200 yards from this at all times.

Well the game is based on his movies so I'm sure he had some input on the game.

No, this game is not based on his movies. Lucas created the universe but doesn't know it at all. When Lucas touches Star Wars we get the new trilogy.

Bioware staff must keep rolled up magazines on them at all times to bat lucas away if he gets too close.

They should just throw Lucas a stormtrooper to rape in a closet somewhere.

You guys realize that if it wasn't for George Lucas, we wouldn't have Star Wars at all?

It's like people have completely forgotten that it was George Lucas who created the franchise to being with.

Robert Mugabe created zimbabwe... that doesn't mean he isn't F'ing it up now...

No one is allowed to coast through life on a single accomplishment, let alone allowed to destroy it.

but who loves zimbabwe?

Yes, please keep George Lucas and Steven Spieldberg away from this...we all seen what they did to Indiana Jones...

I don't want this game to be raped too!

@LaughingTarget: "No one is allowed to coast through life on a single accomplishment, let alone allowed to destroy it."

Single accomplishment? Star Wars. Indiana Jones. Industrial Light and Magic. Lucasfilm. Lucasarts. Hardly "single" accomplishments here especially considering both franchises are composed of 6 and 4 movies respectively. Not to mention all the video games and books involved. Bottom line: You're a moron.

You can, it's called Final Fantasy XI (PS2, 360, PC)

Check out Champions online. They're coming out with both a PC and Xbox360 version. The PC version is also fully controller compatible provided you've got a long enough reach.

If you have to hunker down to play PC games, you're doing it wrong. I'm more comfortable at my PC than my couch.

Really I would rather have a next gen kotr by bioware.

Thinkin the same thing, it's a great idea to have a companion in an MMORPG, maybe make it so you basically customize two characters. But you dont have to worry/touch the other character EVER, all he is there for is your companion. That'd be neat.

I don't understand

1. Feature mediocre gameplay

BioWare really developed the first KOTOR very well, and I don't see why they wouldn't be ace on this time around

2. Assail consumers with microtransactions

It can only be justified if it is worth it or not, so this can be a okay or a terrible thing. EA can very involved with it, so it can be a terrible thing

3. Sustain a community of 12 year olds

this, is not a legitamite concern. What community doesn't consist of immaturity, real life or in games? whenever I buy a game I expect nothing less for other players to say or do immature things, and it really isn't a big deal and it can simply be ignored

4. Give you a longer lightsaber, in under just 2 weeks

alrite i don't understand this one

5. All of the above

Listen, guys, there's not many promising games that can stand toe to toe with franchises like KOTOR. ANYTHING about KOTOR is good enough, and I don't have any qualms about the game ITSELF being stellar.

the real concerns i would have would be how it is published and handled payment wise, and if it is worth the price of admission, which I think the quality of KOTOR speaks for itself

KOTOR hasn't come out for four years, and this game will be supported and directly replenished with new content, so it isn't like its a one and done deal.

like BAM kotor 3 and move on to something else, or another 3-5 years for kotor 4.

this game looks promising so far to me, and i dont understand the negative vibes about this game at all.

Always go for number one, always.

o.0
I'd assume the majority of people read the posts on the main page, so the warning was "if you jump the break, the video is going to start."

Nothing is more embarrassing that having some star wars cranking out of your computer at work, when all your trying to do is leave a comment.

I thought thats what brings all the girls to the yard

No, that's my milkshake.

Wow, somebody else overrating pre-cu Galaxies.

Pre-cu Galaxies was buggy, templates homogenized, armor absurd, knock-down combat stupid, lack of content inexcusable.

But other than that, yeah, it was really good...and unquestionably better than a game that hasn't even been released yet.

I wasn't saying this game will be bad. I just really enjoyed SWG and would rather play that than any other MMO really. It may have been buggy, but it was very fun in my opinion. I also may be a bit biased since it was my first MMO.

Word, I miss that game so much. I wished that hadn't ruined it.

Because it's a first pass without all the proper lighting and graphics options (such as AA and the like).

The real question is why this is asked every single time new gameplay footage comes out for a very early build of a game.

"I know it's an MMO, but why does it look like an Xbox 180 game?"

But why does it look like an Xbox 180 game?

I know!

It's an MMO.

Sorry, had to do it. Basically, they want to have the same mainstream appeal that WoW has; you can't do that unless you have low system requirements. That's where AoC massively screwed the pooch and where WAR only slightly violated said canine. WoW can run on really old computers and really shitty new computers; therefore, its potential playerbase is far larger than that of its competitors.

Ive heard the 'choice matters in this game' line before. They rarely deliver... I hope this doesn't suck. Bring it to 360 and PS3 and its a day one purchase.
