Videos make my head go round and round.
BTW, this is starting to be really amazing.

The game is starting to look really amazing IMHO.

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 28th 2009 5:52PM
....Most impressive.
VaultBoy @ Aug 31st 2009 4:06PM
Joystiq is right, the sith are pretty emo.
Jawmuncher @ Aug 28th 2009 5:52PM
I would still rather have a real KOTOR 3 than this.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Aug 28th 2009 5:53PM
Aww, poor you.
I wouldn't, so I guess we cancel each other out.
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 28th 2009 5:57PM
i would, so no more cancellation.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Aug 28th 2009 6:00PM
My vote counts for 100 angry fanboy votes.
Plus, I've got an anti-crying cape.
So I win.
No Kill Tayler @ Aug 28th 2009 6:00PM
I wouldn't.
reacti-fuck that.
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 28th 2009 6:06PM
your vote counts for NOTHING. (in the real world)
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Aug 28th 2009 6:09PM
@Sly
I find reason to argue your point, but it is immediately pushed aside because of my love for the Sly Cooper series. Damn you.
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 28th 2009 6:14PM
i mean your vote for this
Jawmuncher @ Aug 28th 2009 6:14PM
Well if we cancel each other out it's all good.
We can't all agree to the same thing can we.
Filthy Assistant @ Aug 28th 2009 9:06PM
I'd rather have a new Sly Cooper game than a new KOTOR or this mmo.
CrusaderStrike @ Aug 29th 2009 6:55PM
Yeah would rather have Kotor 3 than this since it plays the same anyway. The vidoc on co-op play is a joke, joytiq is impressed? Must be blinded for their love on the franchise.
Rhamsey @ Aug 28th 2009 5:59PM
This isnt really new, but worth watching again anyway. I just really hope they add sweeter things to the non jedi/sith classes. Cause lets be honest, the most popular classes will be sith, and then jedi (and all of their sub groups).
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 28th 2009 6:00PM
i think there might be a lot of bounty hunters too. jetpack + flamethrower = insta-win.
CJLopez @ Aug 28th 2009 6:02PM
Can i be a Sith, that kills sith and allies with jedis???? Much like what Luke did when finding out about Palpatines clones
Doctor John Smith @ Aug 28th 2009 11:31PM
Yes. It's called choose a Jedi class and role play that as your backstory.
Rhamsey @ Aug 28th 2009 6:10PM
I just want to be a HK-47
clanboru15 @ Aug 28th 2009 6:12PM
only if they let me duel weild as promised in a ton of the advertisements.
And I hope they change up some of the combat animations
tmacairjordan87 (PSN & Live-tmacairjordan87) @ Aug 28th 2009 8:22PM
You can dual wield. Near the end of the 20 minute gameplay video from gamescom they showed the sith warrior looting the lightsaber of a jedi knight he just killed.
Rocket Raccoon @ Aug 28th 2009 6:12PM
When this game comes out my social life and productivity will go to zero....
Rhamsey @ Aug 28th 2009 6:20PM
We should be anti social together.
ugg.tryptophan @ Aug 28th 2009 6:32PM
anti-social together? wait, what?, my brain... aaaaaggghhh!
LegendaryRedass @ Aug 28th 2009 6:33PM
This is just the thing I need to take my mind off of stalking my neighbor.
Santo @ Aug 28th 2009 6:48PM
I like all the awesome lightsaber concepts, but it worries me that they've all been the same so far in actual screenshots...
Rollins @ Aug 28th 2009 7:04PM
It's slightly annoying to have to mute the 30 second ads that play after each 5 second video in order to watch the next one.
I have to be honest, having ads before the videos is less of a nuisance than a video that automatically plays after the content I give a shit about that can't be paused.
Huey2k2 @ Aug 28th 2009 7:54PM
The videos have ads?
nriveraexpress @ Aug 28th 2009 7:40PM
i saw those vids and i was amazed! and this is like what? a pre alpha
Battledrill @ Aug 28th 2009 8:12PM
I'd like to be the class there is less of. But at this point I have absolutely no idea since every class seems awesome. Could it be a jedi might be the less played class?
BoomWav @ Aug 28th 2009 9:51PM
It might be that I just finished watching a Prison Break episode but the sith in the picture really look like Micheal Scofield
MarioMan36 @ Aug 29th 2009 6:22AM
wheres the sith lightning????!!!!!
Dummy00001 @ Aug 29th 2009 6:35AM
I think their desire to stick to the good v. bad might be their own undoing.
This is an action game. What is the point whether you are playing as good or as bad - if in the end you are all about chopping enemies.
Unless of course they would make evil somewhat exceptional and allow it to slaughter everything in sight - including comrades and unborn babies.

Having seen the gameplay videos I lost a lot of interest in this game. I know I know, it was only earlier levels and only a demo at that but it just looked so bland to me. Almost turned based, it seemed so slow at certain points. Maybe I need to give it another look but I like fast paced mmo fighting and this doesn't look to fit my particular needs. It's star wars which is great and it's bioware which is great and it seems like one of those situations where it's like how could this go wrong? I'm still hopeful but I am under the impression that this will be a really good game, just that the combat will not be at all along my preferences. But hey, I love Age of Conan fighting and look how well that game is doing so maybe it's a good thing for bioware I'm not digging it :p. Anyone else feel the same way? Maybe I'll give it a whirl for the story as that is almost guarenteed to be top notch.
But more on topic, I would love to be a sith in this game. I'd roleplay the hell out of it too and choke and zap everything in sight, like a psychotic sith.
jaysins @ Aug 30th 2009 2:11AM
When I'm refering to videos I mean the four dev ones where you can see skills being activate and all. The animations look pretty good for fighting but it's the button pressiong, mouse moving and strafing I look forward to.
