October 21, 200817 yr The Title is "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and it looks like it's going with the cartoonish, WoW-like graphics.
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr The Republic vs. the tr00 Sith empire eh? "l0lRevan1990" ahoy! I can go on and on.

October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr 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, 200817 yr by Moatilliatta
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr @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.
October 21, 200817 yr PC ONLY "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
October 21, 200817 yr 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"
October 21, 200817 yr 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
October 21, 200817 yr Where did you get that from Meshugger? 2:47 Scooter: open beta? 2:47 Scooter: "AT SOME POINT" I want in.
October 21, 200817 yr Author Obviously, since it needs to run on poor peoples computers. To which I say: thank goodness. Star Wars isn "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
October 21, 200817 yr 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!"
October 21, 200817 yr 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.
