Bioware has plans to add 500 worlds in TOR by the year 2025!

It's a PC exclusive, so I guess it's SW matterial.

BioWare is shooting to have 500 explorable worlds in Star Wars: The Old Republic by 2025.

"I can say that we have 19 major worlds," he said during a Q&A session. "Then we have an indeterminate number of minor worlds. And our goal, obviously this being an online game, that we're hoping is going to last for decades, we're going to be, obviously, adding more to the galaxy map as the game progresses. We want to add dozens of worlds. Hundreds of worlds eventually. In 2025, we'll hopefully have 500 worlds."

Sounds like a load of bull to me.

Does that means they'll stop making different games like Blizzard till SC2?

Ehh, I agree witht he 500 plantes that we can scan comment.

and What is up with the unholy use of the dark text lately.

For this to happen, the game has to be successful first. Making claims like this is baseless until the game is actually released. I doubt this will happen.

I think that was an exaggeration, basicly saying they wish to expand it as much as possible.

500 worlds full of content? Impossible. 500 worlds of planet scanning? Possible.Jynxzor

You deserve a medal.

Sounds stupid, what's the point of 500 empty planets? And pouring that type of money into the damn thing..., unless they're procedurally generated... Silly wow clone, what's the point, maybe if it was an MMO-TPS/hack'n-slash then it'd be a cool idea. But isn't the space travel/combat, on rails or something? And what an ugly game.Inconsistancy

Are we just gonna take every sentence out of context and make it super negative?

Yes please.

Anyone who actually watched the Comic Con panel where they said this would have caught on to the sarcasim.

Those who don't value multiplayer won't appreciate this game.

If you like MP however this is going to be the new epicness to play for years to come.

Prediction: thinking man's GOTY 2011

.... Looking good. The beta is capped at medium settings from what I hear.

Nah, the thinking man's GOTY 2011 is Frozen Synapse.

However SWTOR may end up being MMO of the year.

Thinking man's AAAA GOTY?

:)

FS is awesome, I could listen to the soundtrack for hours.

ToR will be a new level of gaming IMO. Bioware Story + massive + MP + friends + PVP + KOTOR

I thought they were just joking when they said that at the conference. :?

FS has surprisingly good soundtrack.

I doubt it is going to get AAAA, higher standards on PC+non-twitch combat+mixed hype+overused structure will bring it down. I could see it getting AAA however.

Also Guild Wars 2 and ArcheAge looks better, but SWTOR looks pretty nice as well. Will most likely be getting all 3.

Sounds like an MMO developers nightmare to me they way they structured this game.

It's funny that I'm such a diehard for FFXIV's looming relaunch but this Star Wars MMO just looks to meh in my eyes. I guess it's down to personal tastes.

I just think that this

Looks better than this

I can't really comment on the gameplay of either becuase they will be totally different when they are Launched (Re-launched lol) for people to subscribe.

each world will be dlc? xD

And FFXIV was by far the worst MMO I've ever played.

I'll take The Old Republic out of this choice and I don't even like Star Wars :O.

This is a Star Wars MMO that took years to develop and is the most expensive game ever made. I expected more than a rail shooter for space combat. Call me crazy.KC_Hokie

Really, didn't know that? Wasn't GTA IV the most expensive for a while with a budget of $100 million or something?

an MMO lasting for multiple decades?

Although I have full faith the TOR will be a big deal and one of the greatest MMO's to come out, but this just sounds like pure marketing BS :lol:

Rumors are that it is upwards of $300 million.... Considering they have had full scale development with 200+ employees plus a full slate of outsourced work on the game for 4 full years now, I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was true...

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Yea the space combat is a rail shooter. I'm a huge Star Wars nerd and TIE Fighter fan so that was blasphemy to me. KC_Hokie

Is this true
