Star Wars: TOR Delayed to Spring 2011?

[Danpascooch]

What's the matter? The old republic afraid to go toe to toe with WoW?

Wouldn't you be?

It's like trying to open up a new gas station chain. Good luck with that.

Seriously though, I think Bioware has a good chance of getting a bunch of customers that are sick of story-less MMO's, have you ever played Star Wars: Galaxies? There are literally like FIVE different kinds of quests, that are re-skinned hundreds and hundreds of times. It's the laziest thing I've ever seen.

Not sure what you mean by "story less MMO's", world of warcraft has allot of lore and story but its the only one I have played much.

Also, yhea The old republic was pretty boring after the first 5 quests.

Lol, I meant galaxies, I changed it, and you probably should too before we both look like idiots.

anyway, the thing with World of Warcraft is, it actually has very very little lore at all. It is the Warcraft Series that the MMO is based on that contains 95% of the lore, the MMO itself is pretty dry.

If I have to wait another year for this game, my mind will explode, creating a Super Nova, resulting in the galaxy being returned to dust. That is not a threat, it is reality.

 

[mattttherman3]

Hmm, well this gives me more time to collect the money I will need to buy a computer that can play this game, as well as Star Trek Online and Guild Wars 2. My current computer can barely play Age of Empire 3

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

the fuck? THEY SAID OCTOBER!!! RABBRABBRABRABBARABBARRRABAR! THOSE DERPAD DODDLE DERPY DERPDERP DERPAS!!!!! THEY SAID OCTOBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!

Guild Wars 2 will probably just as dead as Guild Wars right now.

I never heard anything about a release date, so I don't really see this as a delay for me. I kind of figured it would be late 2010 at best, so this still sounds about right to me.

@John Funk: Awesome avatar, 00 is one badass Gundam.

 

[uppitycracker]

Delay would imply that a targeted release date was ever announced, which it was not. This is actually a lot sooner than expected for this game. Also, wasn't there an article about this on the escapist yesterday?

 

[WhiteRat07]

At least we know when its delayed to. Where the hells are update on diablo 3 if it even is real and not blizzard just screwing with us.

 

[JaredXE]

It's OBVIOUSLY not The Old Republic. I mean, the game is practically done, and they are already setting up closed beta.


Now I just need to repeat that to myself every 30 seconds so I don't breakdown in tears.

 

[ffxfriek]

Interesting... I wasn't even aware that it had a projected release date. Well, if it takes them a few months longer to make a better game, I'm willing to give them the time.

In memorium: Kotor 2
Lest we Forget...

lest we forget....

i would love this game now. how much more do they think we can wait?

 

[AndyFromMonday]

Smart move with The Old Republic. Not releasing it when a very anticipated expansion of an extremely popular game is about to be released will increase its sale by a whole load.

 

[dochmbi]

Good thing, just keep delaying it all you can, the more time spent making it better, the happier I am.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

NO!

I am crushed...

*sob*

To quote a certain Dark Lord of the Sith,
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[Chadling]

Guys, just keep in mind that when it comes out, we're going to buy it anyway and we're going to love it. Bioware can polish that game as long as they please, so long as it doesn't become vaporware.

Of course, at this point my expectations are that its quality will be somewhere around "mirror-shine" and "the blinding flash of a nuclear weapon".

 

[AC Medina]

As disappointing as this is, it's not at all surprising and could actually be a good thing if it means they're gonna use the extra time to polish and perfect what's sure to be a fantastic game, anyway.
