Leaked SWTOR screenshot reveals new character creation info

Apparently someone who is participating in the Star Wars: The Old Republic beta has leaked a screenshot of the character creation process which reveals some previously unreleased information, and probably information that Bioware: Austin probably did not want us to know just yet....

i wonder what it would take to see this on consoles...a guy can dream

OneSneakyMofo5403d ago

I reported the leak in hopes of getting in the beta *cross fingers* :D

Conloles5405d ago

Yeah good luck gettign this one on consoles, just another Superior PC exclusive that console gamers dream of.

Hey they might end up getting the next one (as they normally od after whinging enough) and you'll only get 1/4 of the product but at least the game will be there right ? ;).

Colonel-Killzone5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Yawn troll shut up. Go get a life instead of trolling every article.

tdrules5404d ago

like you guy wouldn't destroy the game by demanding no subscriptions

SeanRL5404d ago

Last time I checked, consoles have more exclusives coming out currently. Haha, have fun with your dying pc though, at least you can use it for porn when you're lonely.

Darkfiber5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Hey, console guys, just to let you know, if you've never played an MMO before, this is nothing new. Don't let the Star Wars and the fancy voice acting fool you, the gameplay and combat is the same as every MMO released in the past 15 years, and believe me, it's boring as shit and you'll probably hate it after a few days. You're not missing anything.

They had a chance to make this game awesome, but they ruined it by trying to "play it safe" and pandering to the asinine casual WoW crowd.

trounbyfire5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

i gave you a bubble....wow that was anticlimactic but well done and i agree

jdktech20105404d ago

Do you blame them? WOW does have over 11 million subscribers.....yea, let's do something completely different and only get 1......

I can't wait for this game and just because you don't like it automatically means it's crap right? People need to get over themselves. That's fine if you don't like it but I'm glad you said everyone who's never played an MMO would hate it after a few days. Glad your that in tune with the rest of the world

Baka-akaB5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

i think you just dont get the part that is supposed to be new and "revolutionary" .

No one made the claims that it would revolutionize the classic wow gameplay .

The different appeal for many people is the emphase on a proper campaign and storyline , as opposed to the current pve/pvp mindless grindfest , or the few games like wow with heavy questing on top , but hardly a scenario something worth going through besides killing the lich king .

It might not be much to you , but it's makes a world of difference for some people who just cant get into usual mmo ever , or not anymore .

jdktech20105404d ago

The whole reason I stopped playing WoW and can't wait for SWTOR is the emphasis on story. I can't wait personally.....

x0fx35403d ago

Actually it has better combat then most mmos. Its choreographed so that lightsaber combat looks more realistic and things connect. Jedi can block blaster bolts and you can see that in some of the videos.

even Abbie Heppe a 360 fangirl wants a lightsaber game with move

Sadly just if you subscribe to Luna it appears. I hooked my EA account into it, which has Jedi Survivor, and it doesn't show in my Library. They don't show as a source either, so just a heads up to not let your purchasing decision be swayed as to where you pick the titles up if a bonus streaming option held any interest.

Dragon Age 4: A Dream Unrealized

SWTOR was a great game on a bad engine.

JunonZanon62d ago

Agreed, SWTOR still has some of the best dialogue from any Star Wars work. I think we all miss this old Bioware the most.

Mark Darrah: stop harassing devs because you don't know what caused "the thing that you're mad at"

Former BioWare executive Mark Darrah says "be a human being, have some empathy."
Fans don't know who is actually to blame.
Darrah throws up a hypothetical that someone might not like how an actor delivered a line. Sure, it could well be down to the actor, but it also might be down to who was directing them, how the writer asked their work to be delivered, or maybe that was the only take they got.

This line from the video though

"Maybe the CEO of the entire company really wanted his nephew to be hired as a script consultant and this guy with literally zero experience was coming in and pushing for mandatory changes"

Like others have said that seems far too specific to just be an example...

Eonjay67d ago

Exactly. And the crazy part about this is that the people there just doing their job and trying to make a living are the one's getting hurt and losing their jobs. I am also not a fan of targeting specific individuals. Its poor form. These are video games.

RiseNShine67d ago

If only there was a single problem with this game, it was a train wreck waiting to crash and burn.

thorstein67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

As usual, common sense falls on deaf ears. I mean, he thinks this article is about Dragon Age Veilguard. He rejects logic and evidence.

What possible logic or evidence can you provide to convince him otherwise.

Notellin66d ago

The community has spoken and would like for you to stop instead.

Armaggedon66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

@Thorstein

Cant expect people to see reason now a days.

@Notellin
Sure. Go ahead and bury yourselves beneath your own ignorance.

thorstein67d ago

This article isn't about that game.

Gamingsince198166d ago

Veilguard was complete trash though anyway.

Notellin66d ago

Then don't use it for the thumbnail. It's misleading on purpose to draw this reaction.

thorstein66d ago

Or...I don't know... read the article.

staticall67d ago

Personally, i think we should always blame and criticize the management (especially top management; like with EA - every screw up should be blamed on Andrew Wilson and his goons). They're the ones with the power, the ones who have the last say in the matter - whatever is the plot details, gameplay, microtransactions, budget and «It's ok that it's buggy and crashes constantly, release the game ASAP, we'll fix it later».

Harrasement is not ok in my book, although, nowadays, many people paint every type of criticism (whatever warranted or not) as harrasement. Which is a very narrowminded and waters down actual harrasement problems. But, i guess, it makes it easier to ignore everything bad you see aimed towards yourself.

I would also like to add, that this topic is a double-edged sword, some developers are being mean to their customers, calling them names or any sort of -isms, that happens. In that case, don't be surprised, that, when you're «firing shots», customers are «shooting back» at you.

SimpleDad67d ago

We do want better games, and we get them by criticizing bad ones.

Eonjay67d ago

No you don't. Everything is criticized by somebody these days. By that logic everything is bad. Thats just more fuel for the echo chamber. The way you get games you want is by supporting the types of games you want by buying them. You want more games like Astrobot? Buy Astrobot. Recommend it to others. Its not about bashing what you don't like. its about supporting what you do like. Money talks.

SimpleDad67d ago

Absolutely, I buy my games cause subscriptions are also part of the problem. I don't criticize myself personally, but by observing criticism by others, I avoid purchasing games with problems.

TheColbertinator67d ago

No we don't. FIFA and Madden get criticized every year and the games get worse and more overpriced.

Christopher67d ago

Lack of profit is the only way to do it, but people are fine buying shit games every day, just not the shit games we talk about regularly here. We distract ourselves with this stupid 'social mirage' issue and the corporations get to keep doing less and less but selling it for more and more.

Armaggedon67d ago

“Better game” with big air quotes. What you like more, makes more sense.

Gamingsince198166d ago

Says the only guy in the world that likes vanguard, I bet you like avowed aswell huh

Empathy has no value when it comes to killing a franchise loved by thousands.

Eonjay67d ago

Empathy always has value when dealing with other human beings. This includes empathy towards the fans who feel scorned and the devs who worked their asses off.
