-
good gravy that was a pretty trailer
-
Looks great, but I HATE MMO's :evil:
-
I sense a midnight release troop! :mrgreen:
-
Cool trailer...
-
If there is a midnight release troop, I will set asside all other projects I may have and design a set of Jedi Robes or Soldier Uniform from that game to troop it in. Whether it is a recognized RL/501st costume or not, I will still do it... heck, the soldier costumes look good enough that I might do one just for fun.

Dude.... that soldier costume would be cool to do. I'd consider doing it.... maybe. It would be fun to do, though, that's for sure.
It kind of reminds me of the New Republic Security Forces, a little bit. I wouldn't mind doing one of those, either.

Well, when all is said and done, I would prefer to make this costume, but that would probably involve Imperial Armor.net and more money than I currently have... but it would be sweet.

WELL the game is made by Bioware so it is bound to be amazing, and it has star wars in it so it's already caught my attention.
But hopefully they show more of the MMORPG aspect of the game soon.
-
Hopefully, it doesn't fail like SWG did in providing for fans and not just gamers. I've been impressed with Bioware and their KOTOR titles, so we'll see what they can do with an mmo... It does worry me that they are calling it a mmo and not an mmorpg...
But maybe I'm arguing semantics...

I think the reason SWG failed was because they played it up that you could eventually achieve Jedi status in the era where the Jedi were all but erradicated.
When the first two players were successful in achieving Jedi status, they put out a step-by-step guide to unlock Jedi playability. When that happened, it tanked the game. Developers were under pressure to keep things on an even keel, but it was hard to do when you had 10,000 Jedi runing around. Other classes had to be bumped up; or in the case of the Jedi, some had to be dummed down.
When that happened there was no pleasing the fanbase and the game suffered. Had they never introduced the Jedi as an unlockable player, and not catered to every whim of the fanboys, I think it could have been more successful.
I see this new game as having a lot of promise. I think it will be successful, largely in part because of the lessons learned from the pitfalls of SWG. I also think that for all the players that were wanting to be Jedi in-game, this is a good niche for them.
But then it is a Star Wars title, and all of them are pretty successful in the beginning. So, only time can tell. But I suspect this will be a hit for several years to come.

well i fully agree with Bill I used to play SWG but i stopped once everything went to hell which i think most people who played the game could relate too
I havn't looked into the game to much i have watched the trailer and saw it on G4 during E3 but it seems that you may be able to play as a bounty hunter? I'm not too certain on this but the video sure gave you the impression you can.
-
This gives the appearance of a more versatile game of play, as far as characters are concerned.
Don't get me wrong, I would be playing SWG, if I had the ability to do so. But overall, I think this game will surpass what was expected of SWG and more!
If I can play as a bounty hunter, great! A Jedi, just as cool, too. Either way, I think this will turn out to be a great game.
It had better, I think the future of MMORG's in the SW realm are relying on it. If this tanks, I don't think gamers will be so loyal to the franchise to stick around for another revamped MMORG.

You can. It is one of the classes for the Sith side of the game. http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/bounty-hunter
The only other class that has been announced is the Republic Trooper: http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/trooper

Actually, the Republic has Troopers and Smugglers as well as Jedi, but those haven't been released yet. The Empire (Sith) has Bounty Hunter and what is shaping up to be a Spy as well as a Sith. They are balancing the classes as they put them out. The Bounty Hunters and Troopers are evenly set with the heavy weapons, armor, and tactical play (though the tactics are different). The smuggler and spy will be evenly set as the "rogue" class. Not sure about the two sets of Jedi, though, as they haven't been released.
Bill, you can play as a Bounty Hunter. They are even talking about one of the specialization tracks being a Mando. But, I am going Trooper all the way. Nothing much like wading into the thick of it with a heavy repeater.
Oh, also every character will be able to get a companion NPC to fight alongside them. Similar to KOTOR, but you are limited to only one. Not sure about what they will do, but it sounds like a complementary set of skills to your character. Oh, and unlike KOTOR, this isn't based on the d20 D&D in Space (a.k.a. Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG).
I am serious about doing the soldier costume for a midnight release. It doesn't look that difficult. Heck, Bioware is looking at hyping this game as much as TFU, more if they can. If that is the case, then I want to be a major part of it. Heck, I am trying to open a dialog with one of the artists who I already have a connection to. She's a freelance cover artist for Baen Books and my editor... well, I may get some access to some of the art workups that are not released yet.
My question is, does anyone want to try this on for size? So far, there are about seven costumes released. Most are armors, but there are also softies (like the soldier). What do ya say?
-
It all depends on the release date and my finances. I'd seriously consider it, though!
