Strix Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 The Title is "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and it looks like it's going with the cartoonish, WoW-like graphics.
Moatilliatta Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Obviously, since it needs to run on poor peoples computers.
Morgoth Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 So, apart from the ugly look, I really like what I've read. Oh heck, this is Bioware, so I'm gonna buy it anyway. Rain makes everything better.
Strix Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Obviously, since it needs to run on poor peoples computers. I doubt that making it in a more "realistic" style -id est the other two KotOR games- would task people's PC too much.
Meshugger Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 The Republic vs. the tr00 Sith empire eh? "l0lRevan1990" ahoy! I can go on and on.

Volourn Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Graphics look meh. I'm not a big fan of 'cartoony' graphics. Not since I was a kiddie who was into Mario. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Moatilliatta Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) From the bad spellar on the livblog: 2:35 Scooter: Jeff Dobson, he's worked on other MMOs 2:35 Scooter: quick aside: no in game art has been shown so far 2:35 Scooter: I WILL DESCRIBE THE GAME LOOK WHEN I SEE IT 2:35 Scooter: all art is concept art so far So I guess the IGN stuff isn't ingame. Edit: Death to Volo! Mario is a cool dude. Edited October 21, 2008 by Moatilliatta
Strix Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Scooter: AHA, he just talks about how the art is designed to run across ALL range of PCs So I guess they think only cartoons can be run on old PCs.

Moatilliatta Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 @Strix Where have you been the last six years (longer than that really)? It's easier to make acceptably looking graphics that run on low-end machines if you make them cartoonish in the vein of WoW. The graphics are made to market to a wide range of people.

Strix Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 2:44 Scooter: CONSOLE PLATFORMS? 2:45 Scooter: goeff keighley asked that 2:45 Scooter: "we'r eonly talking about PC... TODAY" 2:45 Scooter: hmmmmmm 2:45 Scooter: someone just asked if there's a subscription 2:45 Scooter: "no details on business model just yet"
Bokishi Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I just don't want another Age of Conan Current 3DMark
I want teh kotor 3 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Love Bioware, not going anywhere near this thing with a ten foot stick of U-236. In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P. KOTOR 2003-2008 KILLED BY THOSE GREEDY MONEY-HOARDING ************* AND THEIR *****-*** MMOS
Moatilliatta Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Where did you get that from Meshugger? 2:47 Scooter: open beta? 2:47 Scooter: "AT SOME POINT" I want in.

Strix Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 The graphics are made to market to a wide range of people. I guess I am not one of those people as I find that art style, in general, abhorrent.
Moatilliatta Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 So do I, but we need poor/stingy people to finance the game.
Calax Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Love Bioware, not going anywhere near this thing with a ten foot stick of U-236. we figured as much given your obvious opinion of MMO and the fact you mentioned this way before. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
alanschu Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I think the graphics look fine. Looking forward to the game.
thepixiesrock Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I'm wishing for no monthly fee right now, but really, what are the chances? Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Looks like ****, frankly. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Moatilliatta Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Aaaww crap: 3:08 Scooter: You can ROMANCE or BETRAY your companions I'm wondering if their class system (as I've understood it) will work, why would someone play a smuggler when they can be a Jedi? I would want to be one but I'm not the general populace.
