The long awaited Bioware release in a series of games that started with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Bioware has finally released the trailer for the MMORPG that is slated for release sometime in 2010.



Who's excited? Discuss.

Smeagz

me and my best friend have followed this game for months. ill definitely be getting it release night. sith all the way

jasonSuFi

Care to elaborate some more on that please?

Smeagz

elaborate how?

jasonSuFi

On some details that you and/or your friend know?

Smeagz

oh lol sure. my bad.


basically, its two factions (obviously), galactic republic and sith aka good/evil. each side has faction specific classes, for example the sith have bounty hunters but the republic doesnt. however, they have answers to the classes, and again with the bounty hunter...the republic's response is having a republic side only class of the Trooper. the bounty hunter and trooper are roughly the same class, as in they both go pew pew with lasers and have a bunch of different crafty weapons, but they also differ in crucial ways. not much has been released about it, but lets say it would differ like the bounty hunter has more armor while the trooper is more agile or something along those lines.

what will make the game fun (and easily replayable) is the quests. they arent wow style; kill 20 boars and ill give you this belt. the vast majority of the quests youll do are all basically sequential and relevant to one big master quest. and by the time you are near the level cap, the final quest will be the ending to your character's story. each class has a different generic story, and these stories are affected by every choice you make in the game...making each story unique from any other youve played. im just going off the top of my head but the bounty hunter's main quest will be working for clients and things like that, and im sure its full of "let him live/kill him" choices that will affect your later bounties.

theres something about NPC companions too, like having a pet in wow basically. theyll fight with you and i dont know a whole lot about this but im sure it will be elaborated soon.


although there are two definite sides of good and evil, you can still be like an evil republic guy. granted you fight against the sith, but you could be a trickster con artist type of person who is still evil at heart. hard to explain but i think you get it.


i think thats about all i know for now. ill edit more later if i remember anythin else

jasonSuFi

This thread is now even more relevant to my interests.

Smeagz

my friend and i, along with an old friend from gamingvidz who doesnt post here are very excited to play sith. you should definitely play with us kind sir

jasonSuFi

Save me a spot on your team then =]

Arsonism

Seconded... I'll start following this more...

Also, I want to know if you can use a 360 controller with it... would make me not stop playing this for fuckin days...

jasonSuFi

OOOOOOOOOOO yeah! I wanna hear about that as well!

Smeagz

not totally sure. i bet with a proper port its possible. but dont trust me.


once the release date grows near a thread should be created about the server we should all play on or whatever. thats exactly how gamingvidz happened and that was a lot of fun always knowing someone from outside the game that was online...my rl friends got me to play wow on stonemaul and thats why 90% of gamingvidz played there. we should def get that goin here.

Arsonism

your going to have to buy the adapter for it though... I bet they will integrate it, just because its MS and Bioware... I'm getting my hopes up and I don't care what you people say...

jasonSuFi

My hopes are riding high and Smeagz, all power to you if you want to create the thread when the time comes. You have more knowledge and experience in this kind of situation, I believe.

Arsonism

This pretty much is a video of his description, PLUS some actual gameplay? :O ?
