Who cares about the graphics? Long as the story and gameplay are solid I can live with the graphics

It really shouldn't be a surprise that LA are seeking out the "WoW crowd", afterall, this was the original intent of the NGE.
I think you'll find that in the eyes of LA, they see no need to add sandbox type features with crafting, etc as they have SWG to fill that role. Hopefully with KOTORO, LA will start putting a bigger focus into the GCW and other unique features of SWG rather then appealing to those looking for a Jedi fix...
Gotta love it, officially announced today and already we have some claiming it a failure. Sometimes you just have to wonder how some come to their conclusions lol.
To the OP and all other people flaming games for the fun of it... Do you even like MMO's anymore?
And one other thing... Did you think the high lasts forever or do you remember that games are for FUN not to satisfy your urges for the perfect high once again. I'm so sick of this tripe. These forums aren't even for people who like video games.
whats the next great MMO we should all be waiting for?
What's the definition of "great" here?
As far as I can see, SWTOR isn't that bad in the graphic. Sure, some like more realistic feel to the graphic, but seriously, if you are not supporting the project with money, what gives you the authority to make any demands?
As for the machine, average gamers might probably upgrade their PC once per year, some more hardcore gamers might do it every 3 - 6 months. But there still gamers that doesn't change their system until 2+ years. And guess what? those machines have problems when it comes to graphic-heavy games.
Are you going to pay for their upgrade? if not, then don't complain about why they choose to use less realistic graphic for the masses. If you are paying for people's upgrade, then you can pay for mine (a $4000 machine would get my machine going, thank you.)
Personally I don't think their art direction is that bad. Sure it's not realistic feeling, but it doesn't look that bad when compare to many other MMOs out there on the market.
Quoted for truth. But hey, look at it this way. The notorious Trolls now have a new MMO they can hate on. Must have been getting bored over at DF because the game looks like it may actually release, so ow they come to this game instead. Quite amusing really...and SOOOO expected.
So cartoonish graphics automaticly make it a WoW clone? While I do like the graphics style of SWG better as of now, who knows were still in early devolopment.
yes especially since most star wars games don't have cartoony graphics ESPECIALLY NOT KOTOR. its an abomination of a great series and really disrespects it.
SWGs graphis are better than KOTOR online ... so they better pull a miracle out of thier butts to save the graphics.
How realistic graphics are have no relation to how popular games are. Look at WoW. I don't like WoW's graphics myself and I wish the KOTOR MMO would lean more towards realistic graphics.
If Bioware 'disrespects' their new MMO then LA would not have given them the license.
ive seen this happen too much lately but alot of gamers out there just bag games before any real concept is shown, or they want games to come out as fast as possible like spoilt little brats.
I say AT LEAST wait for some gameplay videos, or some confirmation that the graphics are like that, or are still in planning stage meaning they can change them if they wanted to.
everyone has to just give time, sadly not many like to wait for the future.
me personally, i am looking forward towards this game, always a big fan of SW and the kotor series, am also a fan of mmo's. saying that i will wait and keep myself occupied in the meantime. no worries .

wow clone....give those 2 words a rest already. ppl are wearing that crap out. And to answer your question....I don't know, you tell me. ???
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Posts like this are just making it seem more likely than ever that the MMO community is about to implode in upon itself.
Has it really got to the stage where expectation levels for games have reached such feverish levels that they are ripped to pieces the very day of announcement?
It would have been nice that kotor mmo would use mass effect graphics (which is sublime), but I am sure not gonna pass on this by not trying it out I am too much of a SW fan to pass on this.

How the hell can you say it's a WoW clone?? from what i've read so far it's Basically Knights of the Old Republic 3 online and back in the hands of the developers that made the original single player great...
WoW clone?? damn people are so narrow minded and don't read anything.... It's story driven, WoW isn't story driven, if anything it's closer to LotRo because it's story driven but it's a long way off being a clone of anything but the original KotOR... This thread and those that think it's a WoW clone remind me of the posters who think Star Trek Online is a WoW clone.. DUMB..

I don't mind if its really a WoW clone but at least i hope it's a good clone and not one that only got 10% of the original DNA.
Pre-alpha screenshots mean nothing to me. This is all I need to know the game is in good hands and will be an amazing MMO when it's finished: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarstheoldrepublic/video/6199708
Waiting for Fallen Earth, World of Darkness, Old Republic, FFXIV
omg you trolls really are just out to make everyone who doesnt play your game miserable...........
the next great mmorpg that we should all wait for:
guild wars 2
i know , zero actual info about the game just some fluff and its aleady a wow clone.
i think i someone else said it best in another forum...
i wish stupid hurt.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Well I'm glad it doesn't look like the first one. I like the swtor style.

Current MMO: FFXIV:ARR
Past MMO: Way too many (P2P and F2P)

pre-alpha. all i will say .
give it a couple of years to develop.
