although i don't really like that you chose to go cartoony with the graphics, im still very interested in seeing how the game is. |
|
|
Amazing pictures, I can hardly wait to see more! |
|
|
All these look absolutely amazing! very unique as well. |
|
|
I had that same feeling, the first time I logged onto Galaxies, I was so into it, I couldn't look away, I told all my friends. I think that week I played for like 100 hours (not kidding) :) |
|
|
Looks great, im just iffy about those oversized light saber handles. Some pictures of them dont even look like a feasible or practical weapon. Holding a handle that big could easily be knocked out of your hand lol. |
|
|
screen shots look WOW i think iam goin to have to play KOTOR 1&2 again lol |
|
|
If i may ask will be there such thing: If you may construct your own Lightsaber with crystals,power cells, and much more? |
|
|
Hi, ehm...I think the Screenshots are very good! They give me a new view from the Game. Have you listen that: Some Peoples thinking the game have no Balancing! I think SWTOR is good, but what are you thinking about that? |
|
|
I want this game to come out now :D |
|
|
Looks very cool! I hope there will be more informations soon. I just can´t wait till this game will be released... |
|
|
looks great I hope its not a copy of WoW, again |
|
|
If this was just an exact copy of with a good story and set in the star wars universe, this game would be amazing. |
|
|
It's very cool and beautiful |
|
|
anyone heard anything more about the possibility of micro transactions. |
|
|
I'm ready for this game NOW! |
|
|
Needs to be darker! Gotta look wartorn like there was just a huge war between the Republic and the Sith! I think a good idea would be to have a dramatic contrast between the Sith and the Jedi/Republic. Korriban and other Sith worlds should look oppressed and downtrodden. Maybe the people living there should have downcast eyes and a cautious stare hinting that they're always ready to run and hide... Republic worlds should look a little scarred, showing that fighting had taken place there, but for the most part cleaner and more positive; while the people living there should look worn, but confident and hopeful. Ya know? |

Kaiser you do bring up a good point, but was the Empire in the movies really so bad on the normal people.. no.. the only problem is a large scale war increases a large scale war dept.. how many Star Destroyers.. and Death Stars can you go through before you need to increase taxes on the simple people of the galaxy. Now you increase taxes.. normal people get pissed... uprising.. so forth and so on. |
|
|
Why would the Sith be Oppressive? Wouldn't it be a much better story, a much more intriguing plot, if the Sith were so laissez-faire about the worlds they own, seeing as they only care about destroying the Jedi, that they don't really impose anything on their worlds? Their worlds would probably be overrun with corruption and crime, but their citizens shouldn't be oppressed. |
|
|
Yea, really nice pics, does anyone know when the game comes out? lol |
|
|
great pics. keep up the good work. cant wait untill next months shots. |
|
|
Shame i will have to wait so long lol |
|
|
I have to say I really am impressed with all that i have seen on this sight , but the one thing that sort of gets to me at times and really upsets me are the certain few which start complaining from the time the game was announced and in production. GUYS WE DIE HARD STARWARS FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A PIVITOL (sorry about the spelling) MONUMENTAL GAME LIKE THIS FOR A LONG TIME , A GAME WITH NEW IDEAS , A GREAT CONCEPT AND ALL AND ALL OUT MULTI YET ADVENTURE ON YOUR OWN TYPE GAME ............BE HAPPY AND LOOKFOREWARD TO WHAT YOUR GOING TO GET AND THEN DECIDE AND COMPLAIN ONCE YOU GET THE GAME. We also have the people who are having the positive attitude as well for that I thank you ! Peter |

/me agrees with EvilClone |

Calm down! No need for caps. I hope they excel where other mmo games have failed. PvP must be a huge part of the game. Without a good pvp system it's just WoW with different art. The last thing we need is another care bear game where we kill hordes of monsters and run solo missions. They will lose a huge crowd if they do not cater to pvp. If they do it right they can create an intense environment that will attract a huge crowd. Just look at EvE online. When you play EvE you get an intense feeling because you can be war decd at the drop of a hat and half of the universe is hostile. This also creates an environment where you have to make friends. Implement a system that creates excitement and player driven content ftw. |

By being deceptioned I learnt not 2 wish mmos, I waited anxiously 4 ultima online and it wasn't worth the while, terrible, hope the same doesn't happen with TOR, I guess it won't anyway, till now it's looking cool. |
|
|
this game is so perfect , ive been waiting so long for them to make kotor mmo , hope this dont flop out because its alot better than the other pikey online games like wow , guild wars , rf online |
|
|
Why LucasArts always announces the games with so much advance? |
|
|
Truth is to create a large market for a game, or movie, or anything.. advertising months.. even years ahead is plus.. more time, for people to tell other people about it.. the market for the game will expand, and apon launch date you will have server crashes like crazy from how many people are logging in.. but by this point, the cash is already in the bank. Welcome to Capitalism 101 |

|
This is why I believe bioware is the best game company out there. There's not going to be any game out there that can touch this when it comes out! |
|
|
Looks great, can't wait for release, this game is gonna blow all other MMo's outta the water. |
|
|
the game looks very detailed. thanks for the update, keep them coming! |
|
|
Making me want to play this more and more. |
|
|
This looks amazing! |
|
|
Looks good... can't wait |
|
|
I this game is going to come out great, I can feel it. They are really taking their time on this one. The longer the better. It must be perfect, it must be just right. Look at blizzard, they prove time and time again that quality takes time and good execution is rewarding. Thumbs up Bioware and make it happen! |
|
|
good work guys...Seems to be coming along nicely |
|
|
I think I can see Lando's foot |
|
|
THE GAME WILL BE AWESOME !!!!!!!!!! And We may finally be able to Create >>>>>>>>CUSTOM <<<<<<<<< WEAPONS, CLOTHES, SHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
awesome this games gonna rock |
|
|
The detail is great! I love the scenery shots. I like how Bioware are moving somewhere new with this game. They are making the Star Wars world look like never before. Sure some of the shots look a bit cartooney and not exactly what I would like but when the game is finished I think it will look amazing! They've just gotta perfect it a bit. I agree about the weapons. Smaller and sleeker. I love the last screenshot with the lightsaber. It looks great! This game is gonna look great! Keep up the good work! |
dang this is going to be the best game ever |
|
|
All in all looks like the design is keeping to what makes star wars look great. Can't wait to see it finished. Keep up the good work! |
|
|
Well, on the upside, it looks like the textures, shading, and sharpness have improved-grats, that looks great. STILL waiting for some screenshots of starships (i'm not even sure if there's concept art for ships yet), space, or planets from space. |
|
|
Id like for you to stop posting on these forums and pics with all the negative comments you post, ill admit this one is more constructive but that dose not make up for your previous idiotic postings...but hey we all can't get what we want right? |
|
|
I agree the exagerated factor brings WoW to mind and it is not a good feeling... Design always takes inspiration from other projects and it is not shameful, but completely altering the artistic concept of the existing and established Star Wars style is very bold and not in the good sense. Star Wars has existed for 30 years and it is not the time nor is it required to alienate the fans. I always consider negative feedback to be useless if it does not propose a way out of the problem. So if you wish to draw Star Wars inspiration, aside from teh movies of course, check out Assasin's Creed. Altair is sucha jedi looking cool character. |
|
|
You have to remember the scale that this game is on. Conan failed because it was too graphically advanced; thousands quit because they disliked the overhaul it required to play. Assasin's Creed looks amazing because it is a small, condensed, console game that has the capability of producing such quality. An mmo must be able to support the attention of thousands of gamers at one time -- making an mmo with the graphical output of Assasin's Creed would be insane and ignorant. They chose a style that both fits the idea of Star Wars while not losing it's meaning, and won't require high performance PC's to play. They chose the compatible road, not the elitist one; they're making this for fans, not money. |
|
|
When I look at some of the screen shots and concept art I cant help but think DC comics and Spandex. |
|
|
I agree with you Rexx. The mickey mouse Bubbly look has got to go! The Graphics in this game should stick to the Traditional Star Wars look, not the Bubbly Lego Star-WOW-Galaxies look. Hey Bioware, we do not want the Star-WOW-Galaxies-Mickey mouse, Star wars LEGO BLING BLING Look! Lets keep it real! |
|
|
I also /agree it's WoW in space. But in the end a billion dollars a year is a fantastic motivator to do EXACTLY what blizzard has done. I for one won't be playing yet another wow clone. But then again I don't think I am their target market. From how bioware has presented this game neither are you Rexx. If this is the Rexx I know. You know how to get a hold of me. |
