I can not wait for this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I expect (as has always been the case with Star Wars promised games) my imagination will be better than the actual product. Now I am hoping I am very wrong as in my opinion, there are presently only one or two games that do any justice to the scope of a Star Wars Universe based game. Lets hope Ea and Bioware take their time and actually WOW us all with the final product.

I’m not holding my breath, but I suppose I am curious enough to take a look (if there is a free trial.)

I think thats the trouble – we excite ourselves that its bound to be better than the last Star Wars outing…..but thats not good enough in my opinion – we know developers have the technology, staff and knowhow to make a truly epic Star Wars game – no-one has really risen to the challenge as yet in my opinion….its a challenge worth meeting as it would be up there in the hall of all time greats if anyone succeeds (and then the WOW crown might tumble)….

I suspect this is due to the nature of StarWars more than anything. Sure, the setting managed to produce one good movie, and two somewhat adequate ones. It may be somewhat good for storytelling, if the audience is either dim or not at all picky, but it is so incredibly flawed in its core, that any game, where ever a slight resemblance of balance has to be observed is out of the question.

….but they could pick up the baton and try and improve upon these flaws in an such MMORPG game setting….flaws aren’t too much of a problem – most games have them!

It’s gonna suck. Not bc of the quality game design but rather because of the story telling. Since every conversation will be recorded dialogue, everything needs to be scripted with branching dialogue/plot trees. I have no idea how large the game world/universe will be, but this ‘feature’ alone limits how much they can do (plus having to sit through endless dialgue sequences when one just wants a quick action fix).

Also, any expansion pack or add-on/content patch… let me say this again: ANY expansion pack or add-on/content patch will need to have voice actors record dialogue for it. In a perfect world, this would be great, but in the real world, the patches will be huge and delayed bc of the amount of work required to ensure nothing in the branching story trees are broken.

One can only assume this will end up being a HUGE install… 30-100 GB anyone?

bob – I would tend to agree with you – they might well put their efforst into the core game but fail to nail down any DLC additions to the same standard etc…. still It will be interesting to see how they fair overall…..(huge wookie wail heard in the background)….

Its Bioware so ill buy it regardless. This is one game company that has never let me down with my expectations for gaming.

While its true the Curse of starwars may very well make this Franchise a failure I for one will at least buy the game and try it out. After years of wow {let my account expire early last year} im looking forward to something truly new and fun to play with my freinds.

Wow, you sure have some faith in them. Something I lost a while ago.

I find your lack of faith disturbing

OmegaBob have you ever been positively looking forward to any game’s release ever??

It doesn’t matter. He buys them in Collector’s Editions and leaves them to rot on his ever-growing pile of unplayed games.

OmegaBob™ sees you in the dark!

Hahahhaha wtf? Are you twelve?

@bbbaKerrr: I’m sure he knows that there are six movies in the series. He just chose to be polite and not mention how much “Episodes I, II, and III” all SUCK. (Well, okay… they didn’t disappoint me in the special effects department. As for the story and Haydn Christansen’s “acting”… ’nuff said.)
