  • Bad graphics? I think the graphics good!

  • Another MMO...

  • YES! QUESTING LOOK CHALLENGING!

  • Its beta Graphics. WoW graphics changed from beta to release. Warhammer graphics also changed from Beta to release, i can keep going with many games. The graphics are "OK" as is but they have more important things to implement and test during beta then optimal graphics.

  • i like it.

  • yeah they could've made the graphics a lot better but they wanted a bigger community and the game to run smoother i mean it wouldnt of been a problem for me either way but it allows for more people who dont wanna get a high end gaming rig

  • You just cant hate on Star Wars.. if you do... you must be mad o.O

  • well damn looks like WoW. I cant take a game seriously if the graphics aren't. I just enjoy a game better with nice graphics.

  • personally, i fuckin love the graphics, anyone with me?

  • @Queentallicamaiden i am :D

  • people the graphics aren't bad i don't know what you people are smoking, people hate skyrim because of the graphics go figure........

  • You cant have MMO's with good graphics, its just not possible, just get over it and play the game to have fun.

  • @LancerSteam

    Guild Wars has amazing graphics when it came out, and they're still pretty good. Guild Wars 2 has spectacular graphics.

  • This game looks awesome, I want to play it now!

  • Is this game free to play?

  • @Bigcountry2241 It's not out yet and no, there is a monthly fee of 15 dollars

  • Its an MMO... the graphics shouldn't be super detailed. You need to have least common denominator graphics so it can run (and run well) on not only gaming rigs. This isn't Battlefield 3. look at wow, this game looks way better than that graphically.

  • world of star warscraft... better than wow lol

  • *sigh* Haters gonna hate, but most of the ones here raging about graphics are simply raging without any substantial arguments or they're talking out their asses. The graphics look awesome.

  • i like how people say the graphics arnt good well wow graphics arnt good compared to their trailers its the same case? this game will be awesome

  • Sith archaeologists "yawn"!

  • Seriously, why do people care so much about the graphics? They may not be amazing, but these look pretty good - at least good enough. Seriously, if your opinion of a game changes significantly just because the graphics aren't incredibly awesome...

  • Everyone has to know by now that trailers are always like 20 times better than actual graphics.

    However...this is just disgraceful.

  • @07blackhawk07 In what way?

    Why are these graphics so awful? Give a decent reason.

  • Comment removed

  • @Scar8632 Muddy textures on the Sith's robe, face, and clothes, extreme lack of polygons on models (as in "blocky"), almost completely flat ground with a sand texture to make you think it's 3D, generally low res textures, and a very cartoon-y feel (which I wouldn't mind if it wasn't portrayed as something infinitely better in the trailers).

    This is 2011 (almost 2012) and I'm sick of seeing all of these mediocre games. If companies want to make shit, then they better advertise it as shit.

  • @07blackhawk07 You realize this was posted almost 6 months ago....and probably recorded even earlier than that, right? What we're watching is one part of the game that is being played before even public beta testing was released. The graphics will be far better if/when you purchase and install the game to play it. I promise you that.

    And don't judge an MMO on its graphics. WoW has graphics that are 7 years old and I don't even need to tell you how well WoW has done over the years.

  • Electric Zombies?

    

  • wtf people....have you seen any wow gameplay video stand up to its cinematics???? ffs I would expect that you can think since you're homo sapiens after all, guess I was wrong.

    Btw, the graphics compared to wow gameplay videos graphics are superior BY FAR. I can only imagine how good they'll look on my pc, since I know youtube videos never do justice to gameplay videos.

  • wtf people....have you seen any wow gameplay video stand up to its cinematics???? ffs I would expect that you can think since you're homo sapiens after all, guess I was wrong.

  • Uuugh - that game looks worse than WoW. But with WoW we know why it look as it does - being six years old.

  • world of star wars!!! lol :)

  • From the awesome cinematics, to this. Ouch!

  • I got a question, is the Czerka Company still alive in this game?

  • @Gyran123 God I hope not!

  • Sigh.. Bring us another Star Wars Galaxies like mmo.. I can't see myself getting immersed in this.

  • i was going to preorder it but then i saw this. i thought its gonna be more .. umm.. cool; like they showed at trailers

  • If this isnt FtP im going to s*** kittens.

  • Wow, the trailers made the game look so epic, but my god the graphics in this have disappointed me so much I probably won't even buy the game now..

  • @rhysiieboii Yes, because graphics are everything, right?

    Hahahahah-no.

  • @Scar8632 Well it is kind of the reason people moved on from nintendo 64 buddy.

    Sorry that after playing games like crysis, gears of war, rage and cod I should come to expect graphics a little bit better these days.

  • @rhysiieboii Then don't buy it if it's all about crysis style of graphics to you. No one Will miss that stunning personality of yours

  • @gonkraider Lol telling me to do what I said I was going to do in the first place, nice one genius.

    Good to see being a smart ass is getting you some where is life (Y)

  • @rhysiieboii You do realize this is an MMO, right? Massive Multiplayer Online games are meant to have lower-quality graphics since they are built to be able to play on a wide range of computers.

    In other words; the graphics aren't spectacular because bad/non-gaming computers couldn't run the game if they were.

    In TOR's case; it's graphics are the BEST graphics I've seen in the MMO genre.

  • @Scar8632 Yeah I guess you have a point. Thanks for not being an ass about it.

    Was just partially disappointed cause the trailer made it look so epic XD

  • @rhysiieboii Well, the cinematics were kind of meant to represent the story that happened BEFORE the story the game takes place in.

    Not the gameplay itself, though.

  • If I had didn't have satellite internet (Which sucks some big D when it comes to gaming), I would totally buy this game. But I think the game would rape my computer... :(

  • Can anyone tell me how a MMO actually works? I don't have any 'gamer' friends so it's been years since I've even played over LAN. How do you coordinate with other players? Do you all have to agree to be online at the same time or can you just meet different people when it suits you?

  • @ShayLee0501 You play over the internet, connected to the company's server. Hundreds of thousands of people are playing, and thousands of players (probably more) will be online at any given time. You won't have to worry about not meeting people in an MMO.

  • @JediNg135 So you don't have to play with the same people every time? It still makes sense if you constantly meet new people to team up with?

  • @ShayLee0501 That's right. Maybe you're just looking for a quick group. There's a chat in game (which will have lots of activity from everyone) and you can ask there for a quick group. Maybe someone from that group was pretty funny / fun and you wouldn't mind playing with him/her again. You could add em to friends or whatever its called in SWTOR (ask them first, out of courtesy), and then next time you could ask them if they want to hang out or do some stuff together.

  • @JediNg135 Can you choose what order you do quests so that you can still play with the same people you liked even if one of you plays a lot more than the others? Or is it all level dependent?

    I nearly played MMORPGs years ago when I bought the original WOW but I was a n00b and the tech support was too stupid to realise I needed to open a port on my router (simple!!!) so I couldn't get online or download the necessary updates and wasted my whole included month's trial. I gave up on MMO then.

  • @ShayLee0501 I dunno about SWTOR, but in a different MMO I played, I could for certain quests, and not for others.

    All in all, it will be fun regardless :)

  • I love that they don't bother to pick up any of the loot:)lol

    

  • All of you complaining about graphics are morons.. you need to realize if they made the graphics amazingly good... 95% of peoples computers couldnt handle it.... this is is a HUGE MMO game already taking up alot of harddrive and ramm.

  • This game looks bad ass

  • omg i can't belive these graphics in 2011

  • @imerdem They had a choice ... graphics or the really extensive story progression system with vocieovers etc etc. If you combine the progressive story development the game has with so many different ways it can go and would add that with, let say TERA graphics for example .. .you'd end up with a game that needs a litle better than what's on the market at the moment, to run smoothly.

  • everyone is so stupid thinking the game was gonna look like the cinamatics ITS AN MMO like WoW duhhhhhhhhh!!!!

  • Seriously?

    All of you EXPECTED the game to look like the Cinematics that were done by Blur? The fuck's wrong with you?

  • Star Wars WoW

  • 0:28 Sith indiana jones

  • Meh, just as I thought. The cinematic trailers look awesome, the game looks lame. :-(

  • is this going to be on console like ps3?

  • @jererulz Nope. only for PC

  • =w= joy so it looks like basically any other mmo on the internet -sighs- hope the mainstream quest will actually have a nice story its been far too long a wait for it to suck.

  • Is this a joke? It looks like they spent longer making the trailers than the game.

  • they games looks like shit! They should have just took the trailers and made a new movie.

  • @SuperNESmanJr Graphics slut...

  • wow the trailer was cool and this looks terrible

    

  • Combat is incredibly dull looking. What we need is a more action-oriented combat system in an MMO, much akin to the jousting style of combat present in EQ pvp brought to the modern day, with lightsabers. This is nothing more than a standoff, almost turn based crapper much like every other MMO in existence.

  • so, uhh is this gonna be paid to play or what?? (its probably paid to play isnt it?)

  • I am not at all excited about this game, its just not my kind of game. There are 2 star wars games I want: battle front 3 and KOTOR 3 (or a remake/fix of the 2nd one). guess I'll have to keep waiting

  • I liked the look of the first two KOTOR games much better. To me, this looks like the designers stylized the characters after a combination of WoW and The Clone Wars series. The first thing that I found troubling was this new design for sand. Tatooine was gorgeous in KOTOR, what's with this Halo-esque sand? Simply put, I think this is ugly; I'll stick to replaying the old games.

  • Is this an online game?

  • I hope this game wont be like you buy it only for its trial like star wars galexies

  • I hope this game wont be like you buy it only for its trial like star wars galexies

  • those speederbikes are really slow

  • 2:05 this looks like its gonna be a long walk... 2:07 it looks like it's gonna be a longer ride :P

  • This game dosent depend on graphics. There is someone special about the seris that goes beyond trivial things like that.

  • Choose your own responses!

    Questgiver - Some guy got himself lost!

    Player - Okay.

    Questgiver - We need someone to go find him!

    Player - Yeah I really don't feel like it, he got himself lost, that's his problem.

    Questgiver - Too bad! Go find him.

    *Player has recieved a new quest*

    Player - MOTHERFU-

  • what the fuck the trailers look so much better

  • @xMarathonRankings If you mean the cinematics; Yes, no fucking shit. It's a cinematic trailer, not a trailer using actual game footage.

    If you mean the actual trailers including game footage; they're mostly staged and done in higher and lower levels showcasing only the two, not the content in-between them.

  • @xMarathonRankings The characters in WoW are nowhere near the ones in the trailers either. If the actual game would look as good as the characters in the TBC cinematic for example, I's never even consider playing anything else.

    There's a difference between Cinematic and actual Gamefootage.

  • @xMarathonRankings no shit.. its cinematic... dumbass

  • @xMarathonRankings those are cinematic trailors, cinematic

  • @xMarathonRankings of course they do, its an MMO haha

  • @xMarathonRankings I'm still pondering on how you're still in the top comments.

    Get the fuck down.

  • is this for xbox 360 ?

  • MMO SUCK!!!! ASSS!!!!

  • @uptboy Go play COD kid.

  • @uptboy Keep it to your self.

  • this looks ....kinda ...LAME!!

  • they call THIS a speederbike? frakk, this thing is slower than an old grandma. O.o

  • i swear every single game developer MUST have a funny name Dallas Dickinson ahahhahahahha im so sad....

  • hmm...is anyone really going to play as someone who doesnt use a lightsaber or the force? i would think not...

  • a Star Wars game should be fast paced with fast action, not some typical cliche target skill spamming mmo style =( But I think i will play it either ways for the storys sake.

  • To all of the people bitching about the graphics, this is not a console game. It is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), which means that MILLIONS of people will be online at the same time, thousands, sometimes TENS of thousands on the same server. Making a graphics engine that can keep up with the animations, choices, and gameplay of all of those people, and make it look this good, is a huge achievement. These graphics are really good.

  • Wow. These graphics blow. Wished it looked like the trailers.

  • @HermiOdleProduction5 thats unrealistic dude

  • its 2001 again!

  • Its a sith lord not a sorcerer!!!

    Graphics are somehow disappointing!

  • This remind anyone else of NWNs just a bit?

  • Anyone know the song name or soundtrack around 4:20?

    I would be extremely grateful is someone told me

  • this game looks boooring as fuck.

  • @UrbanDubTales it looks fun :)

  • Can i be a tusken rider sith?

  • How can it be a speeder if it moves as slow as a Hutt?

  • @HOLYSTANG91 would you rather this game turned to wow where you just fly over everything in your path with 10 sec? or actually do the quest the right way?

  • I love all the complaining about the sorcerer not using his light saber...What do you want a caster class to be? melee? lmao

  • I swear if he says The Sorcerer one more time i'm going to snap his neck

  • Thats not a speeder bike, thats a star wars mobility scooter -.-

  • ERM HELLO ? Why the lightsaber ?? Sooo not playing this sorcerer class , it's like playing Chuck norris with a gun .... and that's not USING it

  • @Jermaine18180830

    The lightsaber isn't only an offensive tool... you can deflect attacks as well

  • This is boring

  • this guy SUCKS at acting

  • is this like star wars galaxies gone wild? cause theres not much of a difference between games. i guess WAY better graphics.

  • I donno.. i think this looks like a crappy free online game with good music :P

  • You lost me after Dallas Dickinson.

  • Pc Platform and MMORPG online

  • Anybody else think that the robe the sith guys wearing looks like it was made by Dr. Seus?

  • Where can i find this game ? Computer or console gaming ?

  • this game looks beast but the only question is if i dont wanna play with my friends will i be able to play this game offline on single player??

  • when does this come out?

  • well this is rather depressing, I was hoping for kotor3 not some MMO, there are too many of those games and they all play the same >_< just releasing a game in a different theme

  • this game will be more better if it like a fps/like jedi academy

  • After all the hype it looks same as any other MMO, boring!, i hope i am proved wrong though. But the gfx and gui look pretty crap so far.

  • New expansion!

    World of Warcraft: Star Wars

  • Doesn't everyone who helped create this game feel sad that the free MMOs graphically look 10 times better. It looks the same as the first SWG game which came out years ago.....

  • Looks awsome

  • it looks like wow but STARWARS!!  ^^

  • Meh looks like any other MMO

  • Im not a qualified games market analyst or anything.. But from what I've seen, this could be the game that 'finally' can compete with WoW.

    It's not a wow clone like 90% of all other mmos, it's not a niche market(like say EVE, or children as target audience). The voice acted quests give meaning to the grinding. And the star wars universe is well fleshed out, but in a blank time line with much room to evolve.

    Maybe, just maybe, BioWare can pull it off..

  • @MagicAccent i'd say it will all depend on how much they charge per month

    lucas arts already came out and said that they've spent so much money into this game that if it fails its likely to bankrupt them.

  • @MagicAccent I find your comment retarded due to the fact you said every mmo is copying wow, its just wow has set the bar and everything is trying to live up to it, this layout looks exactly the same only starwars so its pretty much Stars of the warcrafting. so anygame trying to kill it will be WoW with something added to it. So this game will never likely beat WoW.

  • @SilverlinedPro Of course. Graphics can always be improved once the game is released, so that the story line can be made perfect before its release.

  • DUDE I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!

  • Dude didn't even use his lightsaber once.. lame.

  • doesn't look as good as the old kotor but im still gonna buy this just to see if im wrong

  • .........................nothi­ng like knights of the old republic (I or II)

    shame...really wanted something like those games.

  • You know, the things the narrator said actually sounded better than the actual gameplay we were seeing... :/

  • Wow Darth Maul must have been 3,000 years old in the Phantom Menace XD

  • @istretton8908 well, Darth Sidiuos did said the Sith could cheat death with the force.

  • Wouldn't be easier to hire a HK unit rather than kill those sand people?

  • The bar, looks like WoW except upside down....... lol............. lameeeee

  • Im probably going to pass up on this one, maybe look up the storyline on the interwebs. But I pray that the Mass Effect boys will go back and make kotor 3 after the mass effect 3 comes out

  • His name is DALLAS DICKINSON? Pahahahahahahaha!!!!!

  • 9:30 : DRUMROLLLLLLLLL... dammit! D:

  • i hope this will be for mac:(

  • is this pay to play ?

  • @privatepinkbits It will most probably be.

  • @privatepinkbits Yes this game is pay to play

  • it would be cool if once you get to a certain level on the jedi or sith classes you could choose to have an apprentice

  • @tgt108 that'd be sick! like taking on another new player as a padawan or something

  • @tgt108 Well you have companions, maybe one of them will be an apprentice or even your master.

  • @tgt108 great idea

  • @tgt108 sith inquisitors do get a apprentice

  • @tgt108 My guess is that you will get a companion character that will actually kinda function like an apprentice or padawan or "trainee" for the not force sensitive chars.

  • @Takashijsi from what I read one the SWTOR site, every class has its own tag along companion, which the plot kind of revolves around, for at least some of the quests.

  • @davidrzr Actually they will have several companions for each class. One of these could easily be an "apprentice" of some sort.

  • @tgt108 but what if he betrays u a joins the darkside......

  • @tgt108 good call!! that would be pretty sweet

  • @tgt108 Well you wish has been granted. Each one of the force wielding classes have a companion that their apprentice

  • come on man! you have a lightsabe! use it!

  • @Xnogginfoggerx i guess the sorcerer is like all the other mage and similar in other rpgs...long distance, powerful strike and low def and hp

  • @Xnogginfoggerx he's a sorcerer -.-
