Battlefront 2

Battlefront open beta

The battlefront beta went live last night early for nz/oz and I gave it a good go. I enjoyed what I saw and really enjoyed what I heard. The audio is fantastic.

The game play is very fast paced with short cool downs.

I haven't preordered yet but after this beta I will be ordering very soon.

This is how you sell your product. Open beta demo, let us try it first. So we'll done EA.

Mount & Blade Mod: Star Wars Conquest

Just when I thought these kinds of mods had nearly died. That is the total conversion which utterly changes the way a game looks and feels:

It is for the orginal Mount & Blade , not warband.

Starwars, if it was a Anime

May the 4th be with you

Darth Maul Returns

I don't even want to know how this is possable, this is like when Bobba Fett crawled out of the sarlacc pit ......

What really happened to Jarjar

As told with the magic of Lego:

Ewan McGregor learns the title of Star Wars Ep II

Surely this should have put up alarm bells.

Still they didn't stop after the first one and lucas is contuning to ruin what was left of the classic movies.

Why do we even need ewoks that can blink, its not as though I was watching the movies thinking, gee its weird the Ewoks aren't blinking.

Infographic shows Harry Potter and Star Wars are really the same

No... No... That's not true... That's impossible!

The end of Starwars Galaxies

Sony annouced today that SWG will be shutdown on the 15th of dec of this year.

SWG was never a good game but it was a good example of the open world sand box mmo. It had some great ideas and they pushed the concept of what a open world should be.

Then the World of Warcraft came along.

It looks like the shutdown is due to The Old Republic and lucasarts. I guess this is the risk you run when using someone elses IP. Lord of the rings online also has this hanging over their heads as it wasn't too long ago the contract was renewed for a few more years.

I do feel sorry for the long term fans of the game, some have stuck by for the entire 8 years of the games life. It always sucks when something like this happens and the risks of playing mmos.

Gabe on The Old Republic

He seems to enjoy it, you can read his impressions here:

http://www.penny-arcade.com/2011/6/22/ - Second post down.

I like what he says about how he played his Bounty Hunter:

At first I intended to play him as a real asshole but some of the moral quagmires these quests put you in just aren’t that black and white. Do I do what gets me the most credits? Do I stay loyal to the person who gave me the job even it means hurting Innocent people? As a result of all this I have a character that is a hard ass bounty hunter who has a soft spot for people in trouble and children. The only thing I could tell you about my WOW character Dudefella is that he was a mage and a hell of a good dancer.

Still, from what I learned in bioware games, you choices aren't always what you expect. Still it will be interesting to play a MMO where you stop and think about how your character will responce, instead of, Complete / Next Quest.

Peoples hands on impressions of The Old Republic

Massively has some impressions of hands on gameplay of The Old Republic.

It seems that the combat is Warcraft cloned meh but the conversation system is neat. The impression I get from reading what they say is that you only get this conversation system poping up at major plot points. The rest of the quests are FedEx or kill quests.

I am not sure what to think, on one had its whats made Warcraft popular on the other I was hoping for something new to expereance.

Guess I have to wait for guildwars 2.
