Make sure you watch until the end.

As a huge fan of Kotor and Star Wars in general, this has gotten me even more excited for this game.

I don't get it.

If the graphics look like that when it's released, maybe I'll be able to play it.

Did you play KOTOR?

Yeah that whole trailer pretty much banks on you completing KotoR 1. The mask they find is Revan's, and HK-47 is a party member from the game.

The integration of the dialog wheel and the quest stuff actually being fully interactive like that is pretty awesome. Definitely looks to be more immersive than WoW or other games with that addition alone.

I am concerned about the sysreqs, though. My desktop is really starting to choke on new games, despite a decent video card (slow processor), and there's no way in hell I'm buying a new desktop just to play games at this current point in time.

I'm not buying a new system until I know it can play Dark Millennium Online, so a while from now.

Bioware has said they want this to be playable on most PCs. I question that. Blizzard's pretty amazing at getting new games to play on even old shit computers. I've used the example before of WoW running on a 1998 comp. I haven't seen other companies make good on that, as if they're unaware that one of WoW's appeals is that even when it was released, it didn't require a new system to play. Will Bioware be that smart? We'll see. The Old Republic is still a ways off.

Blizz managed to do something a lot of MMO's don't get right, and that's making a game pretty through texture work instead of poly count. The models themselves are astoundingly simple, but even at low end settings the game isn't truly ugly like others tend to be at the same level.

Old Republic looks good in the previews but I agree, it along with FFXIV are worrying me on the sysreq front. My comp is getting old, and I am definitely not in the monetary position to upgrade anything.

FFS Darryl. Baldur's Gate AND Kotor? What the hell?

It definitely feels a bit like KOTOR, although I get a City of Heroes vibe from the gameplay.

I'd probably enjoy KOTOR; the Baldur's Gate games don't interest me too much.

Julie's been meaning to get KOTOR.


I also haven't played Castlevania: SOTN yet either! Or Zelda: Link to the Past!

So I thought this was going to be taking place in the old republic like way before palpatine but the guy says this is a job for the emperor.

But that's just a little confusing the actual game looks solid and fun as hell.

It is the Old Republic.

There was an Emperor then too.

Being a darksider seems to go hand in hand with declaring yourself Emperor/Lord/etc in the Star Wars 'verse.

Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

Through victory, my chains are broken.

The Force shall free me.

I think you can grab KotOR on D2D right now for $6 if you are interested. :)

Why don't lightsabers ever cut people in half in Star Wars games?..

Because developers need to separate story and gameplay just like in any other game.

Edit: Also, cortosis weaves everywhar.

Really wish the gameplay was more involved, but I did enjoy KOTOR.
