SW:TOR fast approach....oh well nevermind

With dragon age covered i feel i should move on to my next bioware related topic. The old republic mmo is set to be coming out some time in the future and i was wondering what everyone thinks it will end up as. Personally i think that the title "wow killer" is often overused and abit silly really...after all alot of people have invested alot of time into wow they are hardly going to give that up just because another game comes out (they may however play both games).
On the game itself as far as i can gather there is alot of focus on the storyline of the player (as you can expect from bioware) and a huge amount of dailogue (all conversations are voiced). The storyline allows you to make different choices while playing your character including what are effectively good and bad (light and dark side) choices. I believe this will add a whole new perespective to mmo's as the player has alot more control over the characters actions as compared to the usual do what i say or dont play.
Feel free to comment on how you think TOR will turn out.

  1. I feel a game such as SW:TOR is being done a great injustice by being coined terms such as "WOW Killer". Certainly games such as Call of Duty aren't great games because they were designed to be "Halo killers", but rather because they were great games that audiences loved.

    Having said that, I do not play WOW, and I am really looking forward to playing this game when it comes out.

  2. I'm surprised they hadn't thought of putting this out a long time ago. I don't personally play MMORPG's, but this just makes sense.

    Besides, didn't WOW take a lot of EQ players away from EverCracj?

  7. I'm scared that no one will play the basic classes, and will all play jedi or sith, which I imagine are going to be wildly overpowered as compared to the other classes. This is my only worry.

  10. Oh i just checked...apparently spring 2011...but you know what companies are like so at the latest id suggest mid 2011.

    And in response to calebs post i believe that bioware picked up on this and of as such made it so that certain classes like bounty hunters will stomp all over jedi.

  13. I wish they would make another KOTOR sequel instead of a stupid MMO...but if this does kick WoW's ass that would be pretty epic. I'd love to see Blizzard put more focus on RTSs and Diablo 3.
