[erik4boss]

[GrimesFilms]

@erik4boss HAHA! good one!

[erik4boss]

clone wars adventures

[adammoharamzelda]

its out !! and it should be better than WOW! go to the siteStar Wars: The Old Republic

[GuysSeriously]

I'm a little tired of the WoW bashing and the bandwagon jumping every time a new mmo is released.  It looks like a good game although I'm worried it wont be quite as massively multiplayer as other mmos.

[ryanplaysbass182]

dont MMO's not really follow a story though? you just do quests and level up. WoW doesnt really have a story. but here it says that each character has a specific story

[yar121]

@ryanplaysbass182

lol WoW definatley does have a story..........

[ChronicDubFan]

@ryanplaysbass182 uhh WoW has alot of lore behind it... like... ALOT!!!! warcraft 1-2-3 is pretty much all lore

[Newbie481]

any clue when it'll come out?

[AUJamie]

@Newbie481

Spring 2011, thats what Bioware said =P

[nigeljackson59]

@Newbie481 It will be out by december 2010 or january 2011

[aricaric18]

is this just a free download

[piratkiler]

I wish that this was going to be on xbox because my computer probably will not work on my comp.

[fallenangel328]

they better make it for a console!!!! iswear ive waites years for a similar game like kotor, i dont want to be paying monthly for a online game...i dont have money!!

[MilankovNS94]

@fallenangel328 its a MMO game witch means its for PC only.

[maxinator775]

this game is gonna suck. MAJOR ASS.

[XelaJN]

@maxinator775 Fuck you!!

[TheBeond]

it comes out 2011 spring

[entehrend]

lol ur funny

[TheBeond]

nah im srs bro

[finleur]

if any one agrees that this game u nee need more freedom to choose how u play and not have it click command basses like lets say final fantasy or wow but not sayin the games were bad except knights of the old republic it has to be like jedi acadamy its the best seris of star wars games out there no the best to date i havent played another game as functional and as free to pick and choose what power and mix both drak and light powers just a fuckin good game remake it or make this one better

[finleur]

this game better be like fuckin jedi academy because knights of te old republic sucked ballsack and the force unleashed was unrealistic to what would happen if he actyually swiped u with a saber

body parts would fall off and instant death so more like jedi acadamy and less like knights f the old republic

[xXBlueFiveXx]

fuck that was boring as fuck i meant the guy doing the whatever he was doing, he didn't make it sound cool but i'm sure the game will in the middle for me anyway

[Arcanoside]

I would be a Jedi for sure.

[11killer64]

star wars force unleashed is great but, videos betwen game are corrupted. and i dont have so bad computer. 4 gb ram. geforce 9800gt and procesor 8300 dual core 3.0 ghz. so thay shouldnt make to top game, because lot of player wouldnt have enaugh good computer

[PandaLord74]

its playable now?

[ChuKaBi]

@11killer64 dude that computer would run it no problem, i swear, if that cant run it on 50 fps or higher, then I need a new computer

[Darth12931]

its comes out 2010

[darkspl]

when it come out?

[ebayporn123]

its gona be like mass effect knights of old republic made mmo

[supermanvalle]

WOW , is that game gonna be really better then Star Wars Galaxies?

[dontcarenoob]

no one can make a good game and keep it good they gotta fuck it up some time or another

[jayj104]

dats true!!!!^.^

[boshankers12]

there hasnt been a good star wars game to date.

[darkusmaster96]

knights of the old republic was awosome as well as the sequel

[kulbren]

Nope. They ae seriously considering on putting it on the 360 because besides champions onlinel, it will be one of the few mmorpgs on a console.

[CandlesInADaze]

No, SW:TOR is not coming to console, they have clearly stated its PC only. The 360 probably couldn't handle it anyway without the graphics being dumbed down and the areas being reduced to a smaller size.

[ofomatheblackbelt]

the 360 can handle it trust me i mean champions online doesn't have a prob

[VagabonNinja]

No dude, they wouldn't make this game only for high-end pcs. That'll cut their player base to half. A company is not concerned with gaming elitist console or PC. They are concerned with numbers and money. So it can probably be ported to consoles and can run on minimum settings for lower end cards.

[CandlesInADaze]

I never said they wouldn't, but how easy do you think it is to port a game like this to console?

[VagabonNinja]

If you mean can the console handle it. Yes it can. An Xbox 360 is roughly the power of maybe a quad core + and at least a 9800GTX. If you mean money/contract wise. Microsoft and Lucas Arts are pretty friendly with each other. Lucas Arts has come out with quite a few games that are on all systems. If you mean how will the online work/game mechanics play on pc vs xbox. Take FF11 for example where players on all platforms can interact online.

[CandlesInADaze]

"quad core + and at least a 9800GTX." Not quite as powerful as that, the graphics card is more like a 7800gtx and a dual core, the reason they look moderately good is because they are made to run on the 360, that's it, the 360 is now powerful machine anymore. I was saying it would be very difficult for a persistent on-line universe to function over say Xbox Live, chat system would have to be revamped along with many other things, and games just don't last as long on consoles, its simple fact.

[VagabonNinja]

Well the 360 plays GTA 4 similarly to a 9800gtx with similar details give or take a few. The lighting is more dynamic on a computer.

I don't know about that mmos last less long on a console. I'm looking at the finalfantasy online game which is still around and played on consoles.

I'm no tech so I'm not sure about the chat system but they could make it both voice and text. So you could probably chat to a voice chatter using your keyboard. Good point though.

[baseba11for3v]

he's right did anyone listen to the last minute of the video. in his words... "Some of our top quesitons and suggestions...what systems (hint hint) will it play on." shows that atleast one console plus the computer will probablly be playing this game. Hopeflly all of um =P

[baycal86]

has anyone heard which platforms this game will be for?

[sawilikes]

PC. Its a mmorpg, it can't be on a console.

[devoidfrog]

my brother heard that there making a star wars knights of the old republic 3

[gamedude334]

ooooook so when is this game coming out?

[TheAlecB123]

I bet most people would be jedi, the rest would be sith, unless they want to try what happens as a smuggler.

[TheAlecB123]

Is that the new awsome game because I couldn't figure out what it was called.

[ArungBahari]

is this game online

[Thelordbaphomet]

Read the title , that shall enlighten you...

[Unknownveek]

yes this game is only online a mmorpg like wow

[PeterRIchard91]

Evryone can pick a Sith wtf? Is it not so in the story that there can only be ONE Sith lord and ONE Sith apprentice?? seems kinda stupid that evryone can be a sith then tbh = /

[5LYMARB0]

dude, this is before Darth Bane's Rule of One

[codythemadman]

lol r u a stupid ??? hhave u played kotor 1 or 2 o u downy and this isent just the reliagen sith its the actual race the acutaul sith ppl back from dead space so plz dont b a rand and <3

[NilsetJohn]

?¿?

[velo66]

SAWEEEETT!! =D

[robinokal13]

wow. i can't wait. i wonder what the price will be

[KVIIN3]

kotor where pretty good games the only thing i wish that they could have done is let us choose like aliens and stuff you know diffrent raceses but still pretty good game i dont know this new one i sounds almost to good to be true ???

[acco122]

other than that, the only things i wish that they had done was remake the 2nd one. you know... actually finish it. and maybe have made the first one with a longer story. but this third one should be twice as good as we can even hope! so all our dreams and things we have imagined should be fulfilled in this sequel.

[MasterThiefGarret]

i heard that this is a buy at the store then dont pay again MMO which would be awesome

[djmac3005]

mass effect was great but after i beat it i kinda lost interest but mass effect 2 im gettin it and they r talking about m e movies and tv show

[Solidiquis]

me too :[

kotor 3 woulda rocked

[alahsprophetmuhhamed]

yeaman that wuda

[cincameron]

stfu kotor is a sucky game the old republic is 10000 times better then that crap

[neverslep24]

there is a website ti this game

[360nollietre]

fuck tor. kotor 3 is what we want.

[neverslep24]

i agree but we can be to young to judge

[360nollietre]

sorry man, but i hate mmos, i refuse to spend 1000's of dollars on a pc for games, i refuse to pay monthly fees just for a game, tor looks whack, the graphics are pathetic, the story is cliche and not interesting, kotor 3 or nothing for me. and if it stays nothing, so be it. but we deserve kotor 3 on nex gen consoles weve been waiting years for it.

[neverslep24]

yeah i guess ur right that we should get kotor 3................but its sad that its not up to us...its up to them........i just hope that they listen to wat we have to say???)-:

[360nollietre]

if your on gamespot, go to the 360 section on the forums and search "official" and you'll see a tor vs kotor 3 poll, go vote :D !

[neverslep24]

ok ill go do that(-:

thanks for lettin me know

[360nollietre]

no problem dude.

[dega]

lol abit too late dude, they already chose tor :P

[Mayan87]

rolf this game is in development. What can you do? Nothing...

[360nollietre]

what the hell is "rofl"?! are you choking on a donut? and nope i cant do anything, doesnt mean i wanna waste my life on a last gen bullshit mmo though. the new trailer is so freaking rendered lol, and to anyone who says it isnt, it is, look at the OFFICIAL PHOTOS AND GAMEPLAY VIDS from the tor website and gamespot etc, even in this months game informer it shows new screens from it, face it bud, the games characters look like those little kid star wars toys, the graphics suck and the story sucks.

[xan22153]

rofl means rolling on the floor laughing...

[heydervish]

need to download or buy it?

[spablo117]

this game are better than world of warcraft

[neverslep24]

i absolutely agree

[OOHZnaP]

@spablo117 you havent played it yet? And i agree i played wow i liked it wasnt addicted to it i dont see how ppl are but this may be fun espicily to the kotor fans

[kakan113]

hopes it will be a action game.:P only why i play starwars is for to light saber action:P

[annoyingfox889]

you dont have to pay for all MMo's, as guld wars ;P

[Tawaxyon]

World of warcraft looks beautiful? BEAUTIFUL? WTF WOW LOOKS LIKE CRAP MY LITTLE SISTER CAN DRAW BETTER THAN THAT

[BazrunStunter]

Ironic. It isnt a cartoon game, therefor not drawn. They use more time on the actual game than graphics (like crysis. for small kids to brag about their expensive pcs running crappy games with good graphics)

[Tawaxyon]

Ofcourse it is drawn.. Aslong as it isnt real its drawn..

[BazrunStunter]

Oh. So theater movies are drawn because it isnt real? Its called 3D modelling idiot.

[Tawaxyon]

Yes that is drawn stupid person.. As long as it isnt real you have to draw it..

[BazrunStunter]

Lol. Okay so 20 people sit down and draw every frame of a theater movie? Drawing is on paper or photoshop etc. Dude your fucking stupid.

[Tawaxyon]

What are you talking about retard?

[BazrunStunter]

Exactly. Your little brain doesnt have the capability to understand. Teehee.

[Tawaxyon]

My little brain? Just that sentence.... Auch.... Well... Uhm.. You are retarded mate ^^ now shut up.

[BazrunStunter]

Why am i retarded? Your the confused one.

[Tawaxyon]

No! Go ask your parents mate..

[BazrunStunter]

What should i ask them? And stop calling me mate

[Tawaxyon]

You seem lonely.. So why? You need friends dude!

[BazrunStunter]

Sure lets change subject because you know your wrong.

[Tawaxyon]

If you want to change subject why do you keep arguing?.. Retarded person

[AndreiSonea]

freaks this game is already out and so is the sequel

[khal007]

lame - they're talking about the MMO man, not KOTOR single player

[hislilnenu4life]

When is this out?

[grrrgrrr10]

this year (middle of year of late) or next year (early)

[D1STURBED01]

ofc! you will need to pay for it to play it because all good MMO's are like that, get used to it and dont be so cheap :P

[xyzyx93]

do you have to buy it in a store or can you download it or just play it for free

[bradypwnin]

your definitely going to have to buy this xD

[moron244]

lol at 1:50 it looks like the fallout 3 armor

[goten1shadow]

Or Fall out 3 looks like Star Wars Armour

[LilxAznboixd]

does anyone no if u can be a clone trooper???

[zion0890]

omg ofcourse u cant its "the old republic" there werent any clones there.

[Colonelmj]

the game is set in the old republic period. no clone troopers in that period.

[namigw]

"no clone troopers in that period"

The era from the beginning of the Republic to when Palpatine reorganizes into the Galactic Empire IS the Old Republic. Clone Troopers were created at the END of the Old Republic. So yeah they existed in the Old Republic, but not when this game takes place.

[veyronsstink]

hes right lol but kinda by technicality

[toomey2u]

it look good but the light sabers look like the bloody old torchs but i like the idea with the jedi armour thats good

[EDXROX15]

WHats the catch for this? IS there some monthly fee too this game? And if there is then I'm pissed.

[petze08]

same

[ajaksbackpac]

looks kind of kid animatedish like the clone wars almost..y cant it be like swbf2 with better graphics?

[Mada234boyroblox]

you need to pay to play the game?

[Hiachi123]

where do you go to try it? it sounds cool and by the screen shots it looks cool too

[MyNameIsSpigite]

i tried this game its pretty awsoem.

[paleologue1978]

Although they added the customary comparison to World of Warcraft, which isn't a compliment (their graphics really aren't inspiring) it should be noted that there are some promising elements of gameplay mentioned.

1. The sidekick: Let's hope the sidkicks are customizable too...othwerwise we will have a game full of clones...which would kill the RPG aspect in the MMORPG.

2. Story-based gameplay: one of the worst aspects of MMORPG is the boring repetiion of grinding.

[paleologue1978]

Let's hope they are not modeling the game design and play off od World of Warcraft. (I hate that retarded game of hopping morons). I think that if this is going to be a good MMORPG the focus will be on the character's customizability and uniqueness. People who like MMORPGs or RPGames in general like customizability, and the ability to make a highly unique character (Like the Sims, but with more customizability)...characters with features that can be morphed to look just like the player.

[paleologue1978]

I argee that the original format for KOTOR was unique, highly playable, fun and full of surprises that made it fun to play over and over. But MMORPG games are fun...REALLY FUN...if done right. The original Star Wars Galaxies....EXCELLENT! This is before it got gay. The problem with MMORPG's is that they are too commonly compared to World of Warcraft which is a horribly designed game of the worst generic variety. It is a tribute to marketing power and the power of the least common denominator.

[SolAurum]

Stupid, they should've made another KOTOR in the same style, really stupid marketing decision, it'll drive fans away.

[tachikoma747]

I agree. If bioware screws this up, it will decimate the fan base. Look how poorly Galaxies did! I hope they don't ruin the KoTOR name

[danxtur]

don't like the lightsaber, they look to big!

[quibily]

I loved KoToRs I and II, but I don't like online RPGs, as much. Can't they make another offline one? Pleeease?
