I think its great to see the female characters in full cover armor. Since playing a lot of fantasy mmo's, a thong, a halter top and thigh high boots counts as full armor. Not that it's always a bad thing. But I do hope the game is going to be good, SWG kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

If they don't provide ships and the ability for your avatar to fly in space, this game is DOA before it even starts. The Star wars genre will help it limp along, but people just do not flock to FPS type rpg's without any other differentiating feature. Why do you think Tabula Rasa died?

Thank you captain obvious, I am aware that this takes place **Thousands(not hundreds) of years before Darth Vader. I am also aware that they made a KotOR game before this one that looked more realistic and better than TOR, so, that actually gives it no excuse for having some terrible looking "comic" art-style that doesn't fit the Star Wars universe at all.

Kotor 2 - TOR. How exactly does TOR look cartoony or worse then KOTOR 2?

Kotor 2 - TOR. How exactly does TOR look cartoony or worse then KOTOR 2? You can start with the terrain texturing. Notice how KotOR 2(which wasn't even made by Bioware so I don't know why you are comparing that one to TOR) has realistic looking textures on terrain and objects, while TOR looks like it was hand drawn on(because it was, they already said that). Also notice how in TOR every object has an excessive shine to it in places it shouldn't.

I agree I dont like where their going with the art style in this game, but I can suck it up if it is a good game.

KotoR II was made by Obsidian Entertainment, known for Neverwinter Nights 2. They have a close relation to Bioware, but it is technically a different company. About ToR: I don't think i will play it, i don't like most MMOs that much, and the idea of paying that much even less..but i think the visuals are fine. Bioware was never known for stunning graphics, just for nice. And i think thats better. More people will be able to play it with less requirements. And usually, when i look at games known for outstanding visual 5 or 10 years later, i think "whoah, thats just horrible", while when i look at a game from the same year which aimed for beatiful, detailed, but not "never seen before" visuals i think "sure, a bit dated, but no reason not to play it". I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore

paintchips Novice Member Joined: 2/06/06 Posts: 106	1/25/09 5:32:07 AM#34 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) Art Style makes this game look like CoH/CoV with a new graphic update with nerf guns and lightsabers thrown in. The graphics aint bad but the heroic body proportions looks a little lame, the male toons look like body builders. Just aint screaming Star Wars.

Those graphics look utterly shite. Also this game is hardly adding anything to the MMO genre. The same shitty point and clicky combat...not thanks. What we need is a FPS style Starwars game.

Learn your gaming history. :) BioWare refused to do KOTOR2 since LA apparently tried to muscle their way into the production process too much. Least that's what I heard of the reason. not sure, but fact remains, Obsidian Entertainment made KOTOR 2, not BioWare. Which Final Fantasy Character Are You? Final Fantasy 7

Still remains a KOTOR game and the graphics were improved from 1 to 2, and TOR definitly looks better, if being hand drawn on means cartoony then M. C. Escher was a fantastic cartoonist.

The art, detail and attention to executing the style throughout from landscape to characters is amazing. Personally I feel for those who enjoy this kind of style will be pleasently pleased. Unfortunately, from a personal stand-point it just doesn't capture the feel of what I think Star Wars is. Excellent art, and I look forward to seeing how the world is built in such a style, just not my cup of chocolate milk.
