mkreku Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 For anyone interested in that Star Wars MMORPG: http://betacake.blogspot.com/2011/06/star-...creenshots.html Lots and lots of screenshots from the closed beta. To me it looks like a reskinned WoW. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulez Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 To me it looks like a reskinned WoW.Which is excellent news, as WoW was already a very good game, but Star Wars as a setting is much more interesting than Azeroth. One thing you can't see from screenshots is the extensive voice over work, you'd have to play the game to experience the difference, and from what I've learned through official gameplay videos it does bring a whole new level to the immersion (i.e. fun).

Gfted1 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 so WoW is now free to play apparently. at least until you hit level 20. how long does that take? 20 hours? Didnt they used to give a free 30 day trial? You can hit level 20 in 1-2 days easily.

Statements like this, they're the moments that I realise I am amongst rats. Which, when you understand WoW's basic psychological principle, makes total sense. *tap a button get some crack* Good business plan, but...*sigh* Sophistication is... Well its a waste on such people.

Raithe Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well the only thing Bioware have said they want to advance as an MMO is the increase in story. They've never talked about revolutionary new game mechanics.. more about how they want to push the idea of each class having it's own unique story, how each world will have a story, and how to really get the full experience of the universe people will be playing multiple classes over time to gain that "full/different perspective". There does seem to be that odd mix of folks on the TOR forums who are either hard core mmo players.. and people who couldn't care less about the mmo and are seeing it as a continuation of Kotor, and they want to pretty much solo the game/story.

Gfted1 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 At least they hand-waved at changing the UI a bit by moving the minimap to the bottom and the chat pane and toolbar to the top. Ill probably give it a go when it comes out. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Heh, this just reminds me of WAR's launch when people claimed they ripped off WoW for having..action bars or the hp display, etc. Only so many ways you can show that info well.

Morgoth Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Peter Molyneux gets new idea while boinking his wife Jesus, what an attention whore. First he shows Fable The Journey as a Kinect title, then retracts his statement and says it's not on rails. Then he complains that modern games are all the same. You know, like Fable and Fable 2 and Fable 3 are all the same. Really, Molyneux just needs to shut up and deliver something that isn't totally gimmicky and overrated. Rain makes everything better.

I resent that comment Fable 2 and 3 are utter crap, and Fable is slightly less crappy. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's possible because if so, it would've happened already. The bigger problem is all of the people out there who buy up his crap and then whine that they've been lied to afterwards. It happened after every Fable release and it's kind of hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
