Game: Star Wars: The Old Republic
I don't know what but something still feels off about the combat animations. A bit stiff maybe? And since why do sith glow red? (ok that is most likely a buff of some kind and yes I'm just poking fun at it)
Hmm.... I've been looking foward to ToR since the beginning and I still am. But this looked like utter crap. The black eyeliner... the horrible looking armor, the clunky animations.
If this is the best they have currently there's still a long way to go to even be on par with KOTOR. Which is pretty sad.
Maybe it's just me,as I had no desire to play a Sith anyway. I really, really.... really hope the Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent armor designs are better than this.
I know all the "it's still in alpha, the graphics haven't been finalized," etc. But that doesn't change the fact that the armor looks like a Quake 2 mod.
I have yet to see anything that proves either A)exploration is possible and not some weak restricted travel paths or B) That BW has any intention of actually listening to the fans.
So far BW seems to be doing a good job of acting just like SOE and showing no communication with the community and trying to re-write SW-canon. Both are great recipes for fail.
They didn't really depict either class...they showed the sith warrior...no sort of difference between them that I could see anyway, i mean i love how the game is coming along and can't wait to play it, but if their intent was to show some of the differences between the 2 advanced classes, that didn't happen at all. It was just a sith warrior game play trailer.
@ Czanrei What SW-canon ?!? The old Republic was more or less created by Bioware and Lucas Arts together ... remember KOTOR. So they can do what the hell they want and it doesnt go against anyone or anything as long as Lucas Arts approves of the Concept that they hand in.
I for one enjoyed the World that Bioware created way more then any of the Movies and cannot wait to play this Game. Have been waiting for a KOTOR 3 for years and when I saw that they were making this [ KOTOR 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 .. ] , I was like " hell yeah ". Why just settle for 1 game when you can have a persistent World were you can play and experience it all along with other people.
FYI guys, the character models are exactly the same. You're just seeing not cloth armor or bounty hunter gear on a really overly-buf dude for the first time.
@chriswsm: Actually, the lightsabre cortorizes the wound it makes immediately. So blood splatters and gore would not be SW cannon.
But honestly, I'm not particularly impressed with this video. And far too many posting comments are using the word "Epic" in a completely inappropriate way. Epic does not me Good. It means a hella lot more than good. And this video is not that.
Animations looks terrible, way to stiff a 12 year old animator could do better. I looked forward to this, but, there's just something over the game, I hate... It's the combat, animations, graphics they look terrible. I bet the story will be good, but I want some graphic factor in the game as well. I am done with those cartoonish looking mmo's like wow.
Still Needs polishing...I believe they know better then to leave it like that...we're still miles away from Home-coming folks...dont bother complaning just yet.
This game would have been much better if Bioware designed their own graphics engine instead of contracting the "never was" Heroes Journey and just re-skin.
Shame on you Bioware! No excuse for this cheap quick easy way out when you have such a massive budget.
ahh if only these videos were a bit more informative.
Fri May 28 2010 7:59PM ReportCan't wait! The character models are looking much better
Fri May 28 2010 8:04PM ReportStupid looking armor.
Fri May 28 2010 9:27PM ReportThis is going to be a good game.
Fri May 28 2010 9:30PM ReportHe was driving a speeder bike, I hope that means vehicles are in. =)

Sat May 29 2010 12:33AM ReportThe bounty hunter clip looked good. This one looks...meh.
Sat May 29 2010 1:23AM ReportI really don't like what i se about combat.
Sat May 29 2010 1:56AM ReportI agree,,
He was riding a speeder bike, so mounts and vehicles might be in... but his speed looked so slow
Sat May 29 2010 6:07AM ReportBest game Evah!
Sat May 29 2010 6:49AM ReportNice movie :). When they release it?
Sat May 29 2010 7:47AM ReportDarth Kronk is wearing a blast door.
Sat May 29 2010 8:05AM Reportnit-picks aside, this game is going to be awesome
Sat May 29 2010 12:25PM ReportEpic!
Sat May 29 2010 12:59PM ReportThe Old Republic will show those WoW fanboys who's boss!
Sat May 29 2010 1:00PM ReportLightsabers look crap but the rest looks pretty good

Sat May 29 2010 2:52PM ReportI didn't see anything on the Sith advanced class trees........IT LIES!
Sat May 29 2010 4:43PM ReportOMG I like the epic ness of the music,but its SO over used these days. Game looks great thught :)!
Sat May 29 2010 9:13PM ReportThey didn't really depict either class...they showed the sith warrior...no sort of difference between them that I could see anyway, i mean i love how the game is coming along and can't wait to play it, but if their intent was to show some of the differences between the 2 advanced classes, that didn't happen at all.

All I can say is bring it on Bioware.
Sun May 30 2010 6:38AM ReportYes please. More.
Sun May 30 2010 10:28PM ReportI really hope there is a gore function. Striking someone with a lightsabre and they act like they have been tazered will not wash.
I want to see arms come off foes cut into pieces and for elder force users to simply vanish leaving behind clothing like Obi Wan
Mon May 31 2010 5:42AM ReportFYI guys, the character models are exactly the same. You're just seeing not cloth armor or bounty hunter gear on a really overly-buf dude for the first time.
Mon May 31 2010 10:52AM ReportThe fighting animations looks old, like on the last SW mmorg.
Theres no grace there... are just odd. I was expecting to see something like on Jedy Accademy but this looks far from it.
Sad...
Mon May 31 2010 5:29PM Reportawesome armor :D
Tue Jun 01 2010 2:36AM ReportPlease guvna, can I have some more!
So, would you put DV as a Juggernaught and DM as a Marauder?
Tue Jun 01 2010 3:02PM ReportMeh.

Tue Jun 01 2010 4:51PM ReportSith Warrior here i come !!
Tue Jun 01 2010 7:03PM Reportanimations look old and dull I wrealy wish this game to be good but heavent seen any improvments so far
Wed Jun 02 2010 2:24AM ReportLooks like this is going to be yet another singleplayer Star Wars game.
Wed Jun 02 2010 8:59AM Reportvery clunky gameplay, this will be for kids or wat.
Wed Jun 02 2010 9:32AM ReportAnimations looks terrible, way to stiff a 12 year old animator could do better. I looked forward to this, but, there's just something over the game, I hate...

Thu Jun 03 2010 8:37AM ReportSo, honestly, the graphics and the animations don't looks so good.
Maybe they should be releasing these videos closer to the release?
You know, when everything seems just about right. Doesn't feel right judging it when it's in development.
Fri Jun 04 2010 10:48PM ReportStill Needs polishing...I believe they know better then to leave it like that...we're still miles away from Home-coming folks...dont bother complaning just yet.
Sat Jun 12 2010 12:22AM Report@Ramboness; The irony is that wow has very good animations.
Hopefully they will give the animations another pass, and you could cut off limbs etc in Kotor couldn't you? *shrug*
They have time..
Sun Jun 27 2010 1:40PM ReportCombat = stif and clunky
Armor = Crap (LOL @ Saerain ... a blast door)
Graphics/Animation = so-so
....I CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO COME OUT!!
Sat Jul 10 2010 2:34PM ReportCinematics make me want hop in game right now... but these in-game footages makes me want to cry.
Why why did you choose this cartoony art style, sigh :(
Mon Aug 09 2010 7:58AM Reportcombat looks shit, and im saying this as a huge SW fan :S
GW2 looks much much better...
Tue Aug 10 2010 7:06PM ReportIm a Bioware fan, but the combat looks..bad?
Sat Aug 14 2010 8:45AM ReportThis game would have been much better if Bioware designed their own graphics engine instead of contracting the "never was" Heroes Journey and just re-skin.
Shame on you Bioware! No excuse for this cheap quick easy way out when you have such a massive budget.
