What does this mean? Is Bioware now going to make a possible Star Wars MMO? Or will it just be single/multi-player for console/PC? Only time will tell...

sorry for being off topic, but your sig explains it all honestly. that clip reflects my views exactly... nice :) well except the aussie part. :P
it's just sad that SWG didn't do the same... lol
but honestly i seen this coming a mile away. this ship would have sank with such a "politician" as a producer. Lots of hype and promises but slow results.
maybe in 6 months it'll be worth checking out.
wow, nice to see epic finally getting involved in an mmo game, so many games have used the unreal engine as a base for their games. But Epic is truely the ones that know how to do a FPS experience right. It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out. more than likely it will be grade A stuff.
Hm... looks like NCsoft have really started to step up their game so to speak when it comes to developing games.
But this one called Blade and Soul looks very intreging to me. Looks like a high paced action martial arts style of game. seems as though it's not a Role playing per say, because it seems as though you don't have statistics that drive the "hit or miss" ratio. but rather collistion detection. more or less, it's Mortal Kombat in an MMO setting lol. check it out here:
honestly that's not surprising in the least, they've neglected a lot because they were to busy revamping the core game to much.
so, it's a very slow grueling process that they are doing. it honestly shows the lack of gaming knowledge Sony really has. or at least the team working on SWG. It would seem the original dev team at least that worked on this title seemed to have a clue. but what they have now is nothing compared to that.
This game has been a complete joke to me ever since the combat upgrade (CU). it's one giant theme park, kinda like going to disney world, and it is carebear tastic for all the little kiddies that liked Star Wars.
This game is not made for adults that like depth and variety.
our only hope is that maybe bioware can pull one through for us :)
Do you Role Play?
