SWTOR & StarWars 1313...GO!

TrionicusTrionicus Member UncommonPosts: 498

since SWTOR is bascially a single player game with multiplayer elements, what do you guys think about this new development?

    I think it is another game based upon Star Wars.

    I think it will pull peeps from SWTOR just like Diablo 3 did. If SWTOR was an MMO it would be different, but it's not, so 1313 will take a bite out of it. I bet 1313 has more choices for the player in it. But then again that's not going to be hard.

    When are they going to remake Shadows of the empire?  Or perhaps Rogue Squadron?  The newer games just seem meh...

    Is nobody else tired of Star Wars? I'm not that long of a fan since i grew up with the prequels, but it's just one afte another, and not just games.

    Star Wars died the day George Lucas re edited the original trilogy to make it suck.  The prequels were the worst 3 movies ever made (with a cost to quality ratio)  Star Wars is dead and Star Wars fans are an embarrassment to nerds everywhere.

    There hasn't really been any great SW games. Some have been good but mostly they are just bland games. I grew up with the orginal trilogy and over the years I actually dislike SW now. They are just ruining the farnchise with all the trash they keep making of the IP alone. Give me a real SW game please.

    Why would it be any different if SWTOR was an MMO?

    WOW is an MMO. Lots of WOW players are now playing Diablo 3. MMOs are not immuned to competition.

    That's two different situations. I agree that competition is competition, but SWTOR would have had some defense (different genre, different type of play) if it was better. The population over at SWTOR is a fragile thing nowadays, and any extra drainage of players is felt hard. I don't know about WoW, but SWTOR is asphyxiating.

    Oh, i am not disagreeing that TOR isn't doing so well, and it is not that competitve. I am just saying it has nothing to do with the fact that it is a MMO, but more about the implementation and how well it is received.

    IMHO, TOR will do MUCh better, if it is designed as a MP ARPG, like Diablo 3, as opposed to a MMO.

    Me three. The yearly Star Wars release is getting to be like the yearly Madden release. The oooh and aaaah factor left a long time ago and now it's just redundant.

    This one at least seems to be based within the OG trilogy era, that's a plus.

    People will buy anything with a Star Wars on it.

    I'd love for a new Rogue Squadron to come out, but it could never touch the N64 original. They will dumb it down somehow, and make it easy as shit so it's a one day playthrough. It'll have some tiny crap arena multiplayer, and... you know what? Let's just not make it and you can make some more lego games or clone wars crap. George Lucas should just hand over the franchise to Michael Bay.

    Are we being asked to determine which game is better? 

    In this forum, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

    Anyhoo, I hope it's not like Far Cr-....errr, Force Unleashed.  I like to play a badass, but not so much a cartoony, canon destroying, supermario jumping badass.
