Star Wars Galaxies

Can someone vouch for Portfolio.com's validity?

edit: Here's the portfolio.com article...

I so hope that is true!!!!   Next question WHEN does it come out????

Would really really suck if this where true, but.....

was an XBOX 360 Exclusive

If in fact the portfolio.com article is true, I'm certain we can expect some sort of press release or statement to confirm/announce the game officially very soon. If it's not true, I think we can also expect a statement from EA, since they claim to be getting this info directly from John R himself. If he in fact did not say those words, he's gonna want to clarify it.

So expect something... sometime.

Can we now say "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" to the NGE fanbois that didn't believe us vets? he he he!

you'd figure it would happen sooner or later... to many cries from consumers on this one.  it would honestly be stupid if they didn't make it.

the whole concept of KoToR is way better, than rehashing what has already been written with SWG.

plus with bioware, its going to be amazing... especially if they add in the story elements like they did with Mass Effect.

I'd wait for confirmation from a few other websites first. But it sure looks true from here.

There is certainly a big push forward of the Star Wars franchise. That certainly gave the possiblity a lot teeth. I don't know why people on this fourm seem to have such a hard time following simply logic.

I see it the other way around. This mmo will probably be what the NGE should have been if done right, rather than anything like preCU. It might be a good game never-the-less but I'm not expecting a sandbox or skill based profession system, or a rich crafting system supporting an extensive player driven economy. This will be an NGE'er wet dream. A single player star wars game in an mmo setting.

Yes I highly doubt this is going to be SWG. But any starwars game done well is better then what there is currently.

This news uplifted my bad day, thank you.

I just hope that Bioware can release it on 2009 like they said and at the same time be very polished.  This is the only developer I have confidence in that can do that.

Now wheres the trailer damnit, I want to see it so bad.
