Star Wars The Old Republic Space Combat Gamescom 2010

wow. essefen was right. your an idiot.

[BloodElf19]

Why are all of you people complaining about the space combat being on rails?! Did NONE of you people play Star Fox as children? For fuck's sake....

[Essefen]

@BloodElf19 This is not Star Fox online, fuckhead.

If you like rail shooting so much, go play Revenge of the Sith DVD while pressing buttons on an unplugged controller. That's about your level of IQ.

[BloodElf19]

@Essefen Go fuck yourself, casual faggot.

[ssmarine762]

@BloodElf19 yeah i remember star fox... I'd like to think game programming has evolved slightly since then. Especially if your spending 300 million on designing a game like EA did for this.

[BloodElf19]

@ssmarine762 Last time an MMO had a free range flight demo (Star Wars Galaxies, there might be others) it was an awful, boring piece of shit, from what I can tell. If you want a full flight game, play Rogue Squadren or Tie Fighter.

[ssmarine762]

@BloodElf19 wrong. eve online did it. and the technology is old as hell, its not that hard for a professional team to program. i never said i wanted a full flight game. what bioware has implemented in TOR is just downright lazy... they might as well not included any spaceflight, then give us something as pointless as this.

[BloodElf19]

@ssmarine762 Wrong? About what? That free flight games in SWG was a boring piece of shit? This game isn't about space combat. It is about ground based combat on different planets with a tiny amount of space combat on the side - you know, like the MOVIES this game is based off of. You say "they might as well not included any spaceflight". I bet you would have been one of the first people bawling your eyes out and screaming in fury at BioWare for NOT including spaceflight in the game.

[thedoctor42209]

its been 300 years since the ebon hawks day not 1000

[sorryse2]

is that single player also?

[Hoctu]

@sorryse2

It's an MMORPG, so no, only multiplayer. But Bioware have made the game so that you'll be able to play the entire storyline for your class without needing to play with other people if that's what you want.

[Shadow0sniper]

Well, I for one am not going to be such a Negative Nancy and relish in the fact that Bioware and LucasArts are both secretive companies, the first being more so than the latter.

The engine that the SW:TOR is built on (Hero Engine) is capable of supporting free flight. Go look it up. I'm going to stick all my money on TOR having free roam (like Halo Reach or Rogue Squadron 3D) AS WELL AS a rail system. The glass is half full people!

[Hoctu]

@Shadow0sniper

They said (though I can't find the quote) that they never set out to have a huge space environment. I don't think they'll be going for free roam when the game is released, though it may come in later updates!

[dasdasist]

Rail combat is so 80's, i was expecting it to be alittle like halo Reach's space combat will be.

[Cache006]

@dasdasist Well you should be happy we actually will have some space combat!How big will this game be?With all the levels,sounds,space battles....

[haloking1223]

Why is it on rails? :( 

[oldspice420]

well i guess its safe to say that im officially quitting wow for this. at first when i heard of SWTOR i thought "oh great, galaxies v2", but holy fucking shit... this game seems like it has so much more content then wow has to offer.

[TheSideShort]

WHY does this game look so much more awesome every trailer..

[MajorShepard]

@TheSideShort because its bioware :D

[reignjuste]

it's not bad i thought it would be worse lol

[GuysSeriously]

Are you people fucking stupid? this is an mmo and space combat has only been shown what does that tell you? it's not a big part of the game.

[unclearimage]

... seriously though this looks like 3D Galaga, wheres my second ship?!

[unclearimage]

Wow.. Star wars battlefront 2 was much better then this and that came out in 2005... I'm glad to see Bioware isn't even bothering to try anything new... or old for that matter. I guess I'd better go renew my WoW account, from the looks of this game the only thing different is going to be the "Story.'

[niallthegod2]

so happy theres a game thats gonna beat WOW lol well.... hopefully

[MegaMoto01]

0:42 1.000 years have passed and the ebon hawk is still intact!

[MechaG2]

Darth McCloud! lol

[Onyxknight20]

wow thats some awesome crap  im playing this game!

[countbuggula]

Wow. They've managed to regress through two decades of game evolution back to Rebel Assault.

[Thesixthgoon]

Where's Andross?

[Jas2davir]

HOLY FUCK JESUS CUM THAT IS KEWL :O

[EmpPeng2k7]

hmmm, old skool arcade shooter with pretty graphics if that is to go by

[outbreak201]

ugh...on-rails....wtf...

[Hedgehoglok]

Oohh sweet, i really hope it's not as "on-rails" as it looks though, but whatever :)

[einsiedler88]

looks like LylatWars from Nintendo

[dartvader117]

too bad it wont be open space like galaxies. but maybe this is for the better

[shadowninja7194]

@dartvader117 =/ i wanted open space =(

[Stumpy44444]

I hope its not that linear looking on release but its does look awesome

[Timmehbob]

OH GOD YESSSS. OOOOHHHH.
