Proper Space Area: Have We Given Up?

I'm hoping for the later, but either would be good.

Their co-op on-the-rails shooter?


Ah you do mean thier co-op on-the-rails shooter.


Why on earth would Bioware EA copy EvE when they could copy JTL or a myriad of other SW space games all much better for SWTOR than EvE type space combat?

yeah... not a co op on rails shooter. We know that much. What it actually is we are not sure.

Putting the final nail in the coffin? No way. Of course they are going to hook that up. That's the expansion that will cost about $40. And its obvious there all sorts of hints on our ships that demonstrate things are not finished. It will get done, eventually.

it was more of a joke , seeing that thier spending more time on stuff that dont need to be added at this time. they could be adding more to the game that could save it like real space content , pazzak and housing.

All we know is it is multiplayer (2 or more players) that is IT (or at least we think it is multiplayer from the wording - it might not be). (and that is is a "whole new pixel space")

My bet is co-op on-the-rail shooter.

I'm hoping for JTL, but I just think that wouldn't be ready till 2017 with the current speed or developments, so late 2013? Co-op on-the-rails shooter is my bet.

you forgot
they shipped with on rail shooter.

Don't give up OP! I'm sure some time early next year, we'll find out more about it. It's the next "carrot" from Bioware, nothing more.

Ah, I see what you're referring to.

What I find frustrating about the ambiguousness of Erickson's "totally different pixel space" statement is this:

Why not say it's a NOT-ON-RAILS space project? The only way this could come back and bite them in the ***, if they later ended up:

1. Changing their mind about what it will be
2. Scrap the project as too time consuming
3. Delay the project (DNF).

If they're actually making progress on an off-rails space shooter (a la JTL), and they told us this fact, it would help. I would argue that it would help a lot. And yet no dev is willing to say anything to confirm this.

It makes me wonder if they're keeping it intentionally vague just in case they can't (or wont) deliver the product.

Then they can say, "we never actually said off-rails, we just said 'totally different pixel space'"

Not a co-op one.

And not Zaxxon either.



I can't imagine how they could be aiming for anything less than a SW Battlefront type game personally (and really a proper 3D JTL+ game given the forum poll results), but I'd still bet on a co-op on-the-rails shooter.
