SWTOR at gamescom

Bulktohulk

Hey,

Got some footage of SWTOR from gamescom here. It's not the best in the world though as Bioware would only let me film from a certain angle, the bastards. Certainly better than nothing though.

this will probably be the first pay to play mmo im going to get into, ive got one or two questions though as i really havnt been keeping up with the game, every character is voice acted right even the player? also if you played any bit of it does it feel like kotor? i presume the story will be good as its a bioware game (heres me hoping as kotor is one of my all time favorites)

It feels more like a mix between WoW and Mass Effecr rather than Kotor to be brutally honest. Everyone is full voiced yet, even the players. I believe the players have a few voice sets to choose from, depending on their race and gender.

I think it's completely voiced throughout. And it's meant to be pretty much like KOTOR with you're own party that you gather and you can solo large portions of it, I think. Also the story is different depending on what character type you go for, so it's not meant to be the same old grind that most MMO's turn out to be. That said, those who have played it said that in basic turns it is still pretty much World of Warcraft in the Starwars universe. That's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view.




edit: Damn you Bulktohulk and your ninja posting abilities! I had 10 hours to reply. Why didn't I do it a few minutes earlier!?!

Hotly anticipating this one, hopefully it will be something to take me away from WoW for a bit on release.

Worse case scenario I've got two great mmos to play

I've got such a good feeling bout this one, I dont think bioware have ever ****ed a game up.

And tbh for me they pretty much invented the concept of mmo with neverwinter nights

Cant wait!!!!

Any release dates confirmed? Or if we will even see it this year?

Gunmonkey

Wont be a release this year, still only in the VERY early stages of Closed beta. Around April onwards is my guess.

Shenlok

Looking good, can't wait for it to be released so I can give it a try.

Just thought i'd throw this in here, as its the most recent Old Republic thread. Looks pretty damn cool. Possibly more of a side-game, but an impressive addition none the less.

Looks cool. Like a 3d version of R-Type.
