*****Official Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread*****

Captain, I know the game has 8 classes, but I've seen some screenshots with some alien wielding lightsabers, how many races is there?

And do you have any screenshots of every race in the game, or if not do you have a link?

Also I wouldnt mind seeing all the different companions because I think each class gets different companions?

I really hope one of my companions is like a little R2D2 :p

Here you go as asked mate - everyone please note these are CaptainRAVE's pics, so all credit to him for taking them, cheers mate!

Here's the pic I mentioned referring to WoW:

Here're some bad texture pics:

Here're some decent looking shots:

As I see it, even in the "decent" shots, you can see dodgy textures, no AA, poor AF, poor lighting/shadows. Most of these graphical issues are generally fixed during beta's, or are "working as intended" for the beta. However I have a friend who works for lucasfilm on the clone wars TV show specifically doing lighting, and he tells me that the TOR shadow/lighting system is old tech and frankly absolute crap, and there's no fixing it unless they rip the whole thing out, which is not going to happen. Needless to say he's totally disappointed, but really - to the layman, a shadow's a shadow, so long as it ain't jaggy, I don't care! ;) Being serious though, rubbish lighting can really affect a game's graphics, so I hope it doesn't impact in the way he reckons it will.

I managed to get 50 copies this morning, good price for fellow OCUK members :D

Nah mate, I just got the photos from betacake...not sure where the original photos came from, my guess would be the polish games site who originally let slip about the pre release. It’s looks like they have box full of them.

Well I’m guessing from this photo is that you buy the pre order box(if you do not buy it online) you get the code inside, you register and when the game launches for early access you get access from day 1.

I still say a September/early October release.

cheers Evil, now I can see what Captain was talking about. You can see the difference. Let’s hope Bioware do iron out these issues before launch

CaptainRAVE

The following is a .rar with a number of screenshots I have gathered so far (they were too big to upload to Imageshack and I don't have time to resize them - anyone can feel free to post them here though).

Was thinking the same but look above.

anyone know the sys reqs for this game then ? tried looking at the screens of the box but it was too blurry.
Click to expand...

System Requirements :

OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000 or better / Intel Core2 Duo Processor 2.0 Ghz or better

RAM: At least 1.5 GB or better for XP / 2 GB or better for Windows Vista/7 / PC's using built in graphic chipsets 2 GB RAM is recommended.

Hard Drive: 8x DVD-ROM or better

Video: ATI XT800 or better / NVIDIA 7800 or better / Intel 4100 or better. 256 MB minimum video RAM, shader 3.0 or better fully compatible graphics card.
 
I have no doubt AA will be in for release - many graphical "options" seem to be missing, but I am sure many of these will be added in due course. It can be forced through CCC pretty well anyway.

I'd be careful about what pictures you post, especially as they can link the character name directly to his account - and it's obviously in violation of the NDA.
Click to expand...

Having briefly looked through the images I can't see his character name showing in any of the pictures. Plus with this huge leak and pressure from the community to get a release date I don't think Bioware have removing a few screenshots at the top of their priorities...

EDIT: Just seen post above, makes my reply invalid, ignore me.
 
fieldyftw said:
what do you reckon will be needed to max out swtor comfortably?
Click to expand...

Impossible to say at the moment - the code is unoptimised and "laggy". A lot will change in due course, so it is impossible to predict the hardware requirements.

EvilGrin said:
Good point, I've edited the ones I put up. Might be an idea to edit your .rar too Captain!
Click to expand...

No worries, today is the last day of the test anyway, but I stopped playing a couple of weeks ago.
 
Compared to the Betacake screenshots, i have a feeling that Captain didn't have the game maxed out.

If you did, then there is some massive inconsistencies between the betacake shots and yours.
