There is Epic, and then there is this...

PS. I was referring to the videos...

You know, I've always been against Pay-per-Play, but I have such a nerdgasm every time I see something about The Old Republic. I hate LucasArts and what they've been doing to everything I hold dear, but they sure do know how to milk my money from my wallet every now and then.

plus, this time they got bioware to do it... /me drools after Mass Effect again.
Though one thing i didn't like about Old Republic was how they had to down play the powers of a Force-using-char in order for non-Force-using-char to ever have a chance at one-on-one combat.  and for a single Jedi to slice through like 10 siths while running by... that's a little over the top. Well, maybe all the Siths will be NPCs... but that's kinda sad, since one of the features that makes it more attractive to many players, be able to play the dark side. However, having a natural rivalry between Jedi and Sith throughout the entire game could have a major negative effect on the overall game community... -(William the Conquerer)- Captain of the Overlord King of PPC 20,000 clicks and counting "Anyone who fights us is either stupid or on our enemy's payroll.

Star Wars is about the only franchise where they could get away wtih two CGI trailers for a videogame. This far a long in development, we should be seeing purely gameplay footage now. But yeah, it was ammmaaazzzing.
Unforunatly I can't say the same for the actual game. They've been really tight about play time at the moment. I only got about twenty minutes with it last time I saw it, which wasn't nearly enough time.
What I did see though didn't really wow me, but it's go nearly a year to sort itself out though.
As one developer said to me, making your game look good is the easiest thing in the world, so it's about getting the core systems down first. "Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart, if you value your continued existence. If you have any plans on seeing tommorow there's one thng you never EVER put in a trap... Me."

Star Wars is far from epic. George Lucas should have died in 1990 right after making The Last Crusade. Then the world would have been right again.

I never said we ignored Thrawn, I said that we ignore vast portions of the expanded universe, including details from the Thrawn trilogy itself. For instance, the exact size and deployment of New Republic and Remnant forces have been altered heavily, in some cases.

I'll stick to some better news: http://www.lotro.com/J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings runs circles around Zahn's Thrawn books.

Uh, dudes? I thought this thread was, like, about E3, an' Star Wars @ E3. TOR's trailer was bitchin', but AVP was too retro; were those 8-bit sprites?

I just changed the topic to LOTRO. Which, since it's going free and all, wins.

Don't expect Old Republic any time soon. I can't say too much without breaking the NDA, but goddamn we've still got a lot of bugs to work out in this thing.
Tip to all you future game developers: don't use the fricking Hero engine to build an MMORPG.
Now, I don't mean to get everyone's hopes down - the game is going to rock! There are just a lot of bugs to work through before any thoughts of stuff like Open Beta testing. |

Zahn wrote awesome books. Tolkien, while not crap, was hardly that great, or really interesting. Sure, loved the books when I was in sixth grade, bore the fuck out of me now.
