SWG IMHO was one of the best MMORPGs before NGE, class selection where you could pick parts from different classes was unique back then,crafting was always in demand and we had some of the famous crafters on our server and to be honest I had the most fun in SWG back then then any other MMORPG(I would still be playing it if it was not for NGE),sure it was not perfect and you can find players that hated it but that goes for any MMORPG including WoW etc..

I have played 90% of them including WoW,Vanguard,EQ2,Dark&Light,Anarchy Online,Tabula Rasa,Eve,Dungeon Runners,Archlord,Warhammer Online and dozen more etc...

TOR has a lot to live up too,not everybody will be happy since no MMORPG ever made has been able to please all the players.....I don't care if its Bioware or any other company,end of the day its the final product that counts and most TOR fans have high expectations.

I do hope they release a new single player version of KOTOR ,that way everybody will be happy since TOR MMORPG is really for a specific audience of gamers/players.

it seems to me that the game has swing from one extreme that is a sand box of SWG to another extreme that is a single story line traditional RPG. I hope they put the SWG styled harvesting/crafting into the game, but from what I have seen so far it seems to be very closed quarter combat oriented. can't wait to find out more.

There are so many people knocking the graphics. lets look around for some good eye candy games that were boring as hell to play. I would rather have immersive content and story line than eye candy any day.

Well ideally you'd have both.

Yes, true, but the makers of this game have a history of great content. So, seeing people automatically walking away based on the graphics is ludicrous.

After everybody's complaints on the voice acting I was expecting some kinda placeholder voiceover done by the programers. From what I saw it was spot on. Not pixar animations movie quality stuff, but certainly enough to make the game more immersive. Everything about it seemed good for a small preview. Also, I don't care what the graphics look like as long as they are consistent. All I care about is gameplay and quite frankly these previews do not show us any real gameplay. At this point they are still just telling us their philosophy and what they want the game to be. Give me a beta!!

I could only watch the video without sound (at work), so forgive me if I missed anything, but I don't get the graphics hate.

they seem good enough to me... it's an MMO, not a console game; they've got to design their game to run decently on as many systems as possible if they want to appeal to a broad audience.

as long as they reach a minimum threshold, graphics have never been a major selling point with me, and this game seems to reach that minimum threshold.

Yeah the graphics seem fine to me too...

on another forum, a LucasArts (I think) guy posted

No matter how much people talk about wanting to see innovation in gaming, what they really want is to hear how you compare to the stuff they know so they can pigeonhole you in their minds.

We're not playing that game. For now we will confound you and talk about the stuff that we think is revolutionary. We'll get to the stuff about how you can group, go on raids, auction stuff, loot items, etc. later.
