I think I read somewhere that they are making a Stargate Atlantis made-for-tv film. So all is not lost for the IP.....yet. |

Interesting read, thanks. So basically, CME have gotten their assets back from Dark Comet Games and Fresh Start Studios, but unfortunately MGM have now terminated CME's licence of the Stargate IP which allows them to produce Stargate based games. You gotta love office politics. |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Warzones & Crafting Information
News Discussion « General Discussion 11/05/10 11:21:32 AM
Originally posted by Nazgol The emphasis appears to be on the companions doing the crafting. However, personally, I would like to see the player character being able to craft "one offs" and make adjustments during crafting, and if no manual adjustments are required (i.e. like using a schematic to produce 10 sets of boots) then there is the option to get the companions to do it instead whilst you go out and do a bit of pvp/pve. One bit that is hopeful: ....the presenters stated other crafted items include weapons, and when asked if this provided for creation of weapon modifications, Christine couldn't provide details but commented "it is a very robust system, and there are still some details that we haven't revealed yet which I know players are going to be excited about. I will just say there are some mechanics to it that will allow players who are more involved in crafting to really get deeply involved in crafting and be appropriately rewarded for it." |

Originally posted by purewitz It ain't a rumour, both DarthHater and Gamespot detail interviews with Blaine Christine and Gabe Amatangelo of Bioware. In my opinion, I'm not sure about the gathering / crafting system. My first impression is that it's *perhaps* taking a lot of the essence of the activities away from the player and making it "automatic". |

Originally posted by WhiteLantern Although I agree, I find it odd that no mention has been officially made of its cancellation on the SGW website. Which probably explains why people are asking about it. |

Where do your vision and Bioware's vision for a Star Wars universe differ from eachother?

Originally posted by arieste Agreed. Films are not MMO's and therefore MMO's should not try to emulate films right down to the finite level of linearity found in a film script. MMO's are not like those single player games that are based on films which turn out to be nothing but interactive versions of the film script. MMO's are meant to be so much more than that. |

PC Gamer : Space Flight in SW:TOR
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic 9/22/10 8:44:16 AM
Yep, there are apparently 6 ships in total. 1 ship will be for both jedi classes and one ship will be for both Sith classes, the rest of the "archtype" classes each get one. There's a video on the TOR site showing space combat (with is basically a Tunnel Shooter) where you get to see the ships in action. |

Originally posted by thedarkess To be truthful, I'm surprised that Blizzard haven't made the "vanilla" part of WoW (levels 1 - 60 for the original races and their areas) F2P and kept subscriptions for those who purchased the expansions. After all, that's were players are: in the expansion areas. |

Originally posted by liberalguy I'm wondering if SOE are waiting for 12 months to see how SWTOR turns out. If TOR doesn't do too well, then that maybe the right time to launch the announcement of SWG going F2P in order to grab those players. Besides, coming back to the OP, with what SOE's been doing it wouldn't surprise me in the least if SOE announced that Vanguard and SWG were going F2P. As for AOC, hmmm that's a tough one. There isn't enough in the expansion to warrant allowing the "core" of the game to go F2P (like AO did). I think Funcom perhaps are going to squeeze a bit more money out of it before it goes F2P. Maybe in 12 months time. |

General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic 9/22/10 8:11:24 AM
Originally posted by Elikal I agree. In my opinion, at the moment TOR seems to be taking the AOC route when it comes to being based off an IP i.e. it's a superfiscial lightweight representation of the Star Wars universe. They haven't yet captured the "feel" of what it should be like to be actively engaged in a "virtual world" based on the Star Wars IP. I'm not strictly talking about making it "sandbox". I'm referring to the fact that according to BW, EVERYTHING has to be based around the story, leaving no room for anything else to expand. In short it looks like a guided tour of the KOTOR era that doesn't allow the player much freedom to actively partake in it much unless its part of the story. Of course, all good themepark MMO's need a good story. But a good story is only part of the equation, not the entirety of it. I believe that good gameplay should always take prescedence over a good story. |

Lol Elikal, now THAT's funny. |

Originally posted by Deewe From that comment, Erikson just gave me another reason why I think this game may crash just like the rest. To me, such arrogance and sarcasm is not professional. He appeared to be missing the point of the original question entirely. Oh well, be in on there own heads I guess. Of course, certain individuals on the SWTOR forums now act as if he's the next messiah or something. Originally posted by Lateris Yep, but Bioware refuse to talk about it outside of the shows. |

Lol Snarling, if you knew the thread in question, you'd know I wasn't "hijacking" it. Why? Because I am one of those who tries to keep people generally ON the subject matter and not to drift away from it for very long. The second post that I detailed wasn't purely in response specifically to the original reason of the thread (though it was connected with it), that particular post was in response to the question "does anyone else think this game will be awesome" (or words to that effect). In short my post was a correct response to his question and didn't flame him in any way. Deviation from the original thread in just one post certainly doesn't count in my book as "hijacking" an entire thread. If it was multiple posts without any sign of returning to the original subject, then that would be a different matter. And whilst one could argue that they are correct in their actions (in respect to the rules), sometimes you have to wonder if the moderators are just doing it simply "because they can". Certain moderators don't use a certain degree of common sense when performing their duties. By the way, don't think for one minute that I'm that upset by this, in fact I just find it a hilarious example of "over moderation". |
