Ok, listen, lets clear some things up about Star Wars Galaxies once and for all.
First of all, LucasArts and LucasFilm are totally different. Here is the direct quote derived from the faq on the official site.
"11.13 What is the difference between Lucasfilm and LucasArts?
LucasArts develops entertainment software, some of which utilizes that Star Wars license. Lucasfilm, specifically Lucasfilm Licensing, must approve all content that directly involves the License."
1. Cool man, the graphics are going to be so neat!
incorrect Sure they may look cool on screen and in the magazines, but those screen shots are buffered and all prettied up for your veiwing pleasure.
They currently are using Maya for their in game artwork which has horrible specular highlight textures and offers somewhat blindness and normal screen lighting preferences.
Basically, unless your running an Anti-Aliasing video card ie:Ge Force 4x AA or the new bad boy Parhelia 16x Fragment AA, your game graphics are either gonna look the same or worse than AO.
So, no points there.
2. Good music
Sure, we all love star wars music. I am sure we have never heard this before. I am sure it has nothing to do with any other star wars game they have!!
Damnit, from the supernintendo games even up to Jedi Knight II and SWGB, its the same stupid fu cking theme song just all changed around! Give me a break.
3. Gameplay
I think Ill go play Mario, seems funner.
How you gonna call it a role playing game if it has no physical number levels any more. Thats traditional, and I think it will be alot less sophisticated with the whole skill system, childish even.
4. Stability
Even AO should convert to the Unreal Engine, Jesus, they are gonna use the guys from Verant to build this thing for them, yeah, good idea, we might as well just get B.Net, it never lags at all! (stupid stupid stupid)
5. Duration
I give it two years till it flops like JKI and JKII will
I give AO atleast three more years untill FC gets tired of everyone *****ing all the time and sends worms to all our computers that physically damage our hard drives.
Did I miss anything?
Love
Me
