Hello again all..

Been busy with work, but thought I stop by and get some information and thoughts behind the new Star Wars MMO RPG "Star Wars: The Old Republic".

I know the Star Wars theme to some, has received a beat down of repetition. But it seems the times Bioware has had their hands at the Star Wars Empire, fans have enjoyed the final product.

That being said, I am very glad to hear personally that Bioware is heading this project because it feels like they have the knowledge to build it right.

Any and all feedback would be enjoyed.

Example Topics:

Storyline
Planets
Characters
Items
Weapon
Combat System
PvP
PvE

and any other relative topic..

Thank you..

:thumbsup:

i bought it on release date. Gameplay to beat game on wii. 7 hours. Total game play 13 hours with both endings and maxing all force powers. Its a fun game but its far from perfect. Though nothing like walking in a room and with a few quick hand movements watching the whole room die in a ball of lightning.

Tomorrow i will be trying the multi player for the first time(duel) with friend.

The story was great though and even though we all pretty much know how its going to end, it still had a few nicely done plot twists

Btw the deathstar looked good NoEX, i really liked the Tractor beam generator room, and the throne room.

Unfortunately bro, I only worked on the polished levels for next gen (360/PS3). There was a bit of communication between the other designers and myself to keep it similar, but my handy work was mainly The Empirical.

I will post my old artwork and show you a trademark item included in the levels as proof of design.

So seriously, is it coming to PC or what?

I'll have to give it a rent. Maybe pick up a used copy off of someone.

I'll let you know.

I am no longer employed by LucasArts. When I left the company, there were no plans to port to PC. However, there were plans to attempt a multiplayer patch and expansion available by download. The only issue, multiplayer got scrubbed from the original release when Julio Torres had a brilliant idea of leasing the licensing of "The Apprentice" for Soul Calibur 4.

That was the major speed bump on the patch release. However, I did have the most fun fighting as Darth Maul against co-workers.

I did play the demo, but have not picked up the full version. I really don't want to use my money for it when there are, in my opinion, much better games coming soon.

It's not a bad game. It's not a great game. It's a good game. That's from what I've played. I've seen a lot of piss poor reviews as well as good reviews. I personally give it a 7/10.

I think it has this "gimmick factor" that makes people "oooh" and "ahhh" but doesn't really add to the game.

Well if you do get around to renting it, let me know what you think of The Tie Fighter Fatory, The Empirical and the ever loved Death Star.

:thumbsup:

Release date.. I would like to know what everyone thinks of the full game versus the Demo..

Do you really think WOW is that great?

Yes.

Answer: The numbers speak for themselves..

The game was released on November 23, 2004, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise. It is currently the world's largest MMORPG in terms of monthly subscribers,[5][6][7] and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG.[8] World of Warcraft currently holds 62% of the massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) market at 10 million subscribers; as of 2008, the current subscriber base for all MMOGs has been estimated at approximately 16 million.[9]

Good spoiler information in regards to the story line.

Enjoy

BTW Julio Torres is a dueche bag..

It just wasn't interesting to me,

This is about the only thing that is understandable in your argument

Quote from "Lestater" »

and physic engines aren't new, it's just improving on old shit.

You just named every game ever made. Physic engines just tell the game how and what properties they are allowed to run by.

This particular game gives the NPC's the ability to now further interact with objects near to them allowing for new unexpected outcomes. Because of the rarity of some these events not happening all the time, it really gives a fond uniqueness to the game. That uniqueness turns into wanting to replay this game.

The game is a sprinter,

Please list the criteria's that make this particular game a "sprinter":

Is it the unlockable difficulties?
Is it the unlockable lightsaber upgrades?
The unlockable outfits?
The downloadable content?
The (#) of levels?

Quote from "Lestater" »

it's gotta a lot of fun in it when you first play but then it's just boring and loses all of it's potential.

This is why I am giving you a hard time. You are full of crap. You haven't played the game full through, you are guessing and building a preconcieved notion that you already know exactly what's going on with this particular game.

Quote from "Lestater" »

And I doubt the story is as amazing as you say it is, I mean honestly, they can only stretch a star wars story so much until it's just a charade. And like Siaynoq, the star wars franchise in itself is growing dull, what's next, you find out that his secret apprentice is actually his illegitimate son?

The story is as amazing as I say it is. I have the luxuary of knowing what the story line is. Not making up in my own mind what I think it's going to be and then commenting like a random flamming jackass.

However if the game does not to appease to anyone because they aren't into Star Wars (anymore/never were) that is understandable. But don't come onto the form and spread lies and filth about a game you claim to have an insight about when you clearly don't know a thing about it.

I hope the people interested in the game disregard your posts and comments as what they are..

I played the demo, I've watched videos, I've read first hand looks on it. I'm not saying it's a bad game, I'm simply stating it's not bringing anything new to the playing field as far as game play goes.

The physic engine alone brings something new to the game play. No interactions are the same now because as two objects near each other they interact. Never seen before in any game quite like this.

Quote from "Lestater" »

For the most part it seems like the story won't be very lengthy with little replay value like most action games.

As one of the many creators of this game and as an active Star Wars EU fan, I can tell you are wrong. This game has an extensive story line that is extremely in depth around this character, his conflictions, his struggles and the betrayles.

Quote from "Lestater" »

I'm not exactly in a position to waste 60 dollars on game when I'm not impressed by it's demo. And don't try to argue this, simply because it's my opinion, and I doubt you have telepathy.

That's why I recommended you RENT the game to make sure.

I can understand if the game doesn't fit to your liking, but the moment you state it does not bring anything new to the table, you show me exactly how much crap you are talking out of your ars.

I now have a hard time believing that you even attempted to play the demo.

Quote from "goodguy8705" »

I'd like to go on the record that I never said the game was bad.

I know you didn't. Your point was accurate as far an argument can go. You may end up being right. Some of it having to do with a government stimulus check, timing, and unfortunate part of having to postpone one platform to wait for the other companies to finalize the same game for their respective platform.

I hope you enjoy the level design that the demo features.. The guy who designed it is a very sexy fellow!

God of War clusterfucked by Star Wars, I'll pass.

Gotta love the nay sayers.

Enter Sarcasm

"OMG you have to push the buttons during a cinematic destruction of a boss type character. OMG it's God of War. I love God of War, how dare they take something I love and put it in another game?

That game is so Clusterfucked!"

End Sarcasm

Truth is, the game is great. There is an epic story line. Plenty of character unlockables, customizations, hidden objects. The game play is superb and each time you play it it's not the same. The unique engine in place for the NPC's allows the gamer to get an enhanced fun factor when they grip onto each other and try to anchor themselves to the ground so they are not hurld into space.

You might want to actually try renting the game when it comes out, that way if you really don't like it, you didn't purchase it. But as far as your "clusterfucked" shield, I wouldn't stand behind it because it ain't gonna hold.

Im going to download the demo now lol thanks for sharing that.


But here is a force unleashed thread.

Very well, can a mod lock and delete this thread..

Sorry I missed this post.

I never did state that Goodguy. I did however elude to it. I still might have to eat some crow on my words because I can now disclose that I did in-fact work on the project and I was talking about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

I worked on the project from 2004 until about 4 months ago. I am now working on a new undisclosed title.

Based on economy and lack of success of meeting the release time line for Clone Wars, I may have to say I was wrong. But the numbers are not in yet..

We shall see..

I reintroduced myself to the forums a bit ago.

The demo is out for the 360 and PS3.

BTW all my statements for eluding are well documented still even after the site changed. I think you will find some stuff fascinating if you are one of those types..

Post your thoughts of the game as you play it.

It's been a while since I posted here, I tried making a poll yesterday but I guess it wasn't approved. So I'll just make a thread.

What do you guys feel about the word: Carnage?


In general. What comes to mind? Not just the literal translations of the word, everything that comes to you.

I think of a undesirable outcome. Exactly what I am feeling after clicking on this post.
