I made a thread in misc game discussion a while back but since the creation of this forum i figured id go ahead and make a new one.

TOR is a fully voiced, story based MMORPG set in the Old Republic era of the Star Wars time line 3000 years before the rise of Darth Vader. Made by Bioware, the creators of KOTOR I & 2 and Mass Effect.

For those of you that don't know fully voiced means, it means that every character in the game, including you, will have their own unique voice. This is the biggest voice over in history. "The entire game ?script? contains approximately 40+ novels worth of content."

I for one am very stoked about this game. I recently beat KOTOR which got me even more excited to play the 8 different class story lines of the KOTOR caliber or better. They've stated that there will be 3 different types of story lines, personal, class, and galactic.

So far the only classes they've announced are Trooper, Smuggler, and Bounty Hunter plus Sith and Jedi but that a given. Anyone else as big a nerd as I am? Or anyone else excited about this game as well??
 
Looks pretty good, might try it myself but itll be a year or two before its out. Til then Ive got Aion.
 
Definitely cannot wait until it's out. By the time it's out I'll be in the Military though.
 
It looks like it will be fun. Though, If it's P2P, I'll pass. I hate games that do that. Not only is it annoying, It wastes money. Or I think it does.

More MMO's should follow the Guild Wars style. Buy the game, Play online for free. Instead of Buying the game AND paying for online -_-.
 
REPHRASE: I find the whole concept of games that have to be continually paid for kind of absurd. What it comes down to is paying for the game over and over and over just to keep playing - especially when there are plenty of games that just have to be paid for once, it seems like a waste of money to me. In, say, two years, someone either pays a couple hundred dollars to play a big name MMO or pays a maximum of 60 dollars to play any other game. Maybe this is just my cheapskate side talking, but it seems obvious to me - there isn't enough of an advantage for these games to be worth a theoretically unlimited sum of money. I guess if people want to pay a gaming bill, all I can say is that they'd better have a whole heck of a lot of fun.

All good MMOs are P2P, guild wars is only f2p because the entire game is pretty much instanced. So not many MMOs will follow that trend Sharpe. And honestly, i have no job, im 16, and i can still manage 15 bucks on no allowance. So its not too difficult. Also lance your not buying the game repeatedly you buy the game once, and then the $15 bucks a month is to pay the company to fix bugs, do updates, fix other things, bla bla.

Also, heres the website http://www.swtor.com/index.php. They do updates every friday. And here is the awesome trailer they showed at E3 http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/deceived-cinematic-trailer.
 
Ya, i feel bad for my friend. He had to sync the voices with the lips and he said he put months into doing that, only to find that the Jawa voice actor had bailed out. He ended up doing the jawas and had fun lol. I'm getting the copy of the game free :D I just hope there's no monthly fee :S

But on MMO's and RPG's. I find it hard to keep interest in the game once you've done all the missions and beaten the final boss

Unfortunately, WoW does charge for 'bug fixes'. The developers should be fixing the bugs of their games for free, regardless of how big or small they are

I think it looks fantastic but it is only for PC right?

Yes it is. And lance, other games don't have the ever flowing in amount of content that MMO's have. But i didn't make this thread to debate about MMO's so lets steer clear of that topic. This is a TOR thread.
 
I can't wait. I loved all the Bioware games I've played so far, (Kotor, Jade Empire, playing through Mass Effect now). and not to nitpick, but Bioware didn't have anything to do with Kotor II, obsidian developed that one.

But yeah, I'll definitely give TOR a shot.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't trying to ruin your thread or anything. I was just saying in great detail how I'll be disappointed if I can't play this game because I have to pay for it constantly, because I agree with you that this'll be an awesome game :sleep:
 
If this game turns out well, it may just be the first MMO I play. I don't care for fantasy; I much prefer Sci-Fi. And I love Star Wars to no end, so this is perfect for me. The trailer looked epic too, though that has no indication of actual gameplay. I like what the previews have been saying so far, though!
