The Darth Maul race looks much better with hair.
-edit- That feather helmet thing doesn't look entirely ridiculous either.

I will savagely beat whoever thought shoulderpads were a good idea in this game.

Zabrak always have. I do wish they'd let Inquisitors dual wield instead of using the saber staff. I really hate their look. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

So, approx. within March 2012.
Isn't that a little late? They started working on it 6 years ago by that time. |

Well, it's not that it's releasing in March 2012 (in fact they say they're targeting the second half of the calendar year), it's that March 2012 is the end of the fiscal year and thus the absolute latest they'd want to launch. |

Can't remember the article I saw it in, but it pointed out that the CEO, COO and BioWare all give different dates for when SWOR is launching, which is a pretty good sign that no-one knows at EA.

I forget, are we allowed to post links to other places that do things like show game play footage for games still under nda? There is a 90 minute video of play out there right now.

I think that is still a nono as long as there is a NDA or whatever.

I think it depends on if the particular video in question is under NDA. If its from some kind of public thing it shouldn't matter. But I don't know what public show has 90 straight minutes of gameplay.

No it's nothing official, just some guy playing a low level character like anyone else would do, which seems to include getting up to go get a refreshing beverage now and again since he just stands there for a couple minutes sometimes. The purpose doesn't even seem to be just to screw over his nda either since it doesn't show character creation and some of the more important menus.
I don't really know what he was thinking, he has his damn nameplate turned on above his character the whole time so EA will know who it is and at a minimum kick him out of alpha/beta/whatever-it-is.

Don't break NDA by proxy. Don't even mention specifics about that information existing if at all possible.

Watched it. I think it utterly diabolical than anyone would post such a leak leek french onion, especially one that purportedly doesn't make you cry. I find it equally unaccepable that anyone would garrner the slightest pleasure from discussing said member of the Amaryllidaceae family. Strange then, that I found them so damn tastey. |

I don't want to spoil it for myself watching the scallion. My prediction: those looking forward to TOR are going to get excited and those who already hate it will generate another five pages of this thread.  |

What's annoying is a lot of companies 'leak' stuff on purpose.

Here's where I am since I last commented on this: MMO's are a step below even Caveat Emptor. Buyer has to do more than beware; they have to assume that any product in the genre is absolute shit until proven otherwise. And the burden of proof required to show that the game is breaking a ruefully predictable trend is high enough that it leads me to discourage practically ANY early adoption, no matter how much you want to be in on the ground floor.
Yet what I've seen is looking pretty good to me, enough that I think there's a much better than half chance that I'll be persuaded enough to sign on as an early adopter when the game comes out. This is a perspective that's been fed into by NDA-breaching stuff, and I don't know to what degree I can or should now separate the sources of my impressions.
I think my biases 'in favor' are fairly similar to other people who are the most interested in SWTOR's development.
- Really wants an MMO in the sci-fi fantasy-ish realm or anything which breaks competently from the whole swords-and-sorcery genre
- Which is translating roughly to, 'whether they know it or not, what they really want is WoW in Space'
- Just like the star wars franchise and iconography and desire an mmo where you get to fight with lightsabers and blasters and shit
- and, per usual, if they played SWG, they thought it was a pile of shoddy bullshit, and figure this is the last real shot at it
I consider myself very skeptical. I still like what I'm looking at here. I'm at least optimistic. They really, really better not fuck this up.
