AxiaEuxine said:I for one cannot wait for the new Star Wars The Old Republic game. Hopefully the Star Wars MMO will be done well this time. I just wish something new would happen in Star Wars without everyone using it as an excuse to retread their dislike of Lucas and Star Wars. Cant you just enjoy that awesome trailer and leave it at that? Becuase I for one would just love to say GODDAMNEDTHATWASFUCKINGAWESOME!!!!!!!!!
As for the advancment of tech in Star Wars, yeah Ive always thought that it proceeded very slowly, but it's just something Ive come to accept about Star Wars.
This is Bioware's first venture into the MMO market, which leaves me a little bit worried that TOR won't live up to expectations, but not very.
RPGs are their specialty, and the fact that this one is online hopefully won't make any difference. In fact, it could work to their advantage. They are the gods of story driven RPGs, and that's the one thing most MMOs lack.
The release of any Bioware Star Wars game is always going to be followed by criticism of Lucas, because let's face it, Bioware know how to write Star Wars better than he does!
If the trailer is anything to go by, this will be EPIC!
All it needs IMO, to be truly great is a thriving in game economy, and player owned spaceships (possibly with space battles) a la EVE online, but that might be asking a little too much.
