Horrible charactermodels

Their limbs look like they belong on a spider
Running animations look akward
Combat looks like it'll be standing still with autofacing which will suck for PVP

 

The only good thing they showed off int hat video was the voice overs but I even hate the kiddy graphics. They don't even look nice like World of Warcrafts, they just look cheap, kiddy, plastic and don't even suit star wars.

 

Not impresssed and doesn't give me much hope for mmorpgs in the future.

Well then I guess you sould go play something else then. xD Can't make everyone happy, and why should they?

Voice overs sound good and look cool.

The "art-style" and character models looks like complete shit.

I also didn't see ANY MMO in that trailer.

 

 

Most people like the art style, if they made it realistic looking as well as working with their goal to make the game available to people with low-end system it would look even worse.

 

And they're not showing off MMO features in the VOICE OVER trailer, they're obviously trying to show off voice-overs.

 

(even though he was playing with another player in an instanced area...)

If most people liked the art style, there wouldn't have been such an outcry about it when they first showed previews. Why would it have to look worse if it was realistically stylized? There are a lot of realistically stylized games that look great(pretty much every FPS).

Even if this video is for the voice overs, you would think that showing gameplay features of an upcoming MMORPG would actually show it being an MMORPG.

A nice dissection of the video found here, some of the stuff I noticed, other things I missed

darthhater.com/2009/07/18/dissected-videodoc3/

From what I have seen on many of the forums that I frequent the majority like  what was shown in  Documentary 3,

Those saying things like crap graphics, crap AI

or Worse than WOW. That one I just don't get. WoW is and ok game but the graphics are 10 X worse than  TOR

In the end some people aren't happy unless they can bitch about something. And If they can't find anything they make it up .

I feel sorry for them :P

Heh I was watchin this with my friend last night and was like, "The BH sound just like Spike Spiegel..."  Steve Blum rules!

Now all they gotta do is get Nate Fillion, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk to voice Republic troopers and I'll be getting this game, bubblegum graphics or not!

BTW was that Jennifer Hale in the recording booth?  Any Ids on the other voice actors?

So far, I'm liking pretty much everything about this game with one possible exception.

I'm not sold on the combat. It's a bit.. stiff, simplistic and slow-paced.

Take the Sith-vs-NPC fights at 5:03 and 3:37; they're kinda stood trading blows like mannequins and that NPC takes a full 4 hit saber combo, losing about 70% of his health without doing a single point of damage back to the Sith; doesn't seem too challenging.

Then, when they're fighting the jedi knight, both the BH and the Sith are whaling on him and his health bar is slooooowly moving; while the Sith/BH are taking virtually no damage. I get that he's supposed to be like a quest "boss" NPC so should be much more challenging to kill than the average mob, but I hope that means more in the TOR universe than just "you have to hit him for longer".

At 5:12 you can see the Jedi hit the Sith for a whopping 6 damage with a saber; 1% of his entire HP.

It's not a deal-breaker for me; I'll be playing TOR at launch and even if the combat is a bit meh but I'm hoping that we get to see some gameplay footage in the future where the gameplay is a bit edgier, faster-paced and the PC(s) are getting more than a light workout.

Hmm. I just watched it again, did anyone else notice at 3:30 that when the Sith killed the trooper his XP bar didn't increase?

Great video! 

Its awesome to see some new footage of the UI, voice overs and combat scenes. 

With people saying the graphics are "poor" or whatnot, well they aint designing this game to be "realistic" , and personally i really love the creative elements that have put in the graphical presentation in this game so far. It looks very artistic and epic the way they have done it!

Heres one question that will pop up now - "Will your character have the option to choose his or her's own voice" - I cannot see every jedi/BH etc etc have the same voice lol - or have one different voice for each class.

By the way, the characters voice sounded, umm batman? I don't know but it sounded familiar.

I'm curious about that question as well. I hope when I interact with other players that they don't all sound the same. Far as graphics go, I still think they could have done a lot better, but since this game will be voice acted I guess they needed to find some way to clear up band space. I'm waiting to see how BETA goes and how stable the game is once you have thousands of players  and NPCS all talking at once.

Yes, it's been confirmed there's multiple voice actors to choose from for each class.

Two is multiple.  One male one female - accroding to Sean Dahlberg:

Sean Dahlberg: "One thing I'd like to clarify is that each class will have it's own unique male and female voice. "

My reply was:

VOICE or VOICES? Because I'm pretty sure there's an article that's stated that there will be VOICES to choose from... can't recall which article exactly atm...

It would only make sense to have multiple voices... in a faction where there are 4 classes, thus only four voices if each class has one voice, grouping together with only other members of the same faction... It would be pretty weird to have 4 male Jedi grouped up and they all sound the same hehe

--- But sadly, no answer... It's still impressive to have your character voiced - but no one wants to sound like a bunch of clones right? Hopefully there will be a 'pitch scaler' at least.  Not hard to implement, no recording needed, just a voice filter.
 

I swear I read in an interview that they had multiple male and female voices for classes, hope I'm right.

But there's a site that shows voice actors current jobs and it shows multiple people for Male Bounty Hunter, I know Steve Blum is one, and a ton of people from Kotor.

Snippy snippy for emphasis:

"Now, the system is, as they say, indeed fully voiced. There are optional subtitles as well. As was stated by the devs, both male and female characters have the choice between multiple voice actors to portray their character so that everyone does not sound the same."

Thank you for posting that mate :) that put's that worry to rest.

Well, I am deaf so I don't care about in game voices..... I expected more from BioWare, I know they can do better than this.

Bumping for the simple reason of pushing down all crap threads.
