Star Wars Galaxies

Mark my words.  The game will be very linear and heavily instanced (if not entirely instanced).  Bioware is wanting to bring their great storytelling (which is fantastic for a single player RPG) prowess into the MMO genre.  It won't work  and millions of angry Star Wars fan's screams will be heard as they cancel their accounts.

Watch.

Umm, how about NO?

BioWare has already stated, the game wont be linear, they have even developed a whole new quest engine and game mechanics to ensure that.

There will be features never seen before in any MMO.

BioWare never made a "very linear" game, you always had choices and their games were quality products.

Mark my word, this game will be a hit and may even compete with WoW, will mostly depend on the system requirements.

I guess we will get to see who is right in a few years.  :)

HAHA...nice Dark Knight reference...that was a great movie

jestor doesn't slam anyone other then fanbois and fanbots who should be slammed

and i will be on kotor online and if any fanboi trys to ruin that game they will have to deal with the swg vets who will not see our new game ruined like they did to pre-cu.

 

I can tell you for a fact that disgruntled Star Wars galaxy vets will find themselfs on a wrong side of a perma ban if they dare bring thier bitter tears to the new SW MMO.  This will not be your Sandbox pre CU wet dream. Think more Force Unleased and Mass Effect.

Lucasarts or Bioware dosen't really care for you to begin with, spout off just once when their forums go live and see if I'm not right.

Force Unleashed and Mass Effect combined...........that would be AWESOME

If they can get millions to buy the box I'm sure they'll be laughing all the way to the bank. It's a given that no matter how you make a game some people won't like it. Especially with an IP like Star Bores. There's no way of telling what Bioware will actually produce but it's a gpod bet it will be a quality game. Peoople do play linear and heavily instanced MMOs. Lots of them. So even if it is, by no means a certain thing, that isn't a problem.  Tears of the faithful zealots not withstanding the game should have plenty of subscriptions to keep it going.

link?

they basically stated in the 1up article that it wont be a simulation, and will be instanced.

Knowing Bioware, and the direction they moved with Mass Effect, I am willing to bet the game will not be a sandbox title, will not  try to appease the pre-CU tropp in any way and will most probably still be a great game and enjoyable to play. I wonder what reception of a game like that would be with the 'SWG vet' community.

If by linear you really mean "Level Based" then chances are you are right on that. Level Based games are somewhat more easy for people to get into then "Skill Based" games are. Once again look at the world of Pen and Paper RPG's, what game so far to date has been the longest running PnP RPG around? Dungeons and Dragons, the game that came up with the whole Level Based System.

Don't think Level Based MMO's can work? Heh what have been the two biggest MMO's to date? Everquest and World of Warcraft, EQ had somewhere near half a million players and WoW is up to like how many million now? Both those titles are level based, and both of those titles did do very fine for themselfs.

Also look at BioWares games, are any of them UO/Pre-CU SWG like systems? Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 used the Level Based System. KOTOR used the same D20 Level Based System. Jade Empire used it as well, and Mass Effect uses a very easy Level Based System to get into. So really chances are your going to see something along the lines of Mass Effect or even something somewhat CU like with the game.

As for the game being Instanced chances are the only areas of the game that will be Instanced are Dungeons and what not. See you do want that open world that Players can run around in like SWG, however for areas where Players are going to be killing Bosses or what not an Instance works better. It cuts down on the Grief Play by a big amount, it does cut down on the lag somewhat.

Really the only people who will be screaming about this new game if it turns out the way I believe it will turn out are some of the really bitter SWG Vets who think the only way for any MMO to be "good" is to be Pre-CU SWG with the open PvP World that UO had.
