Itt idézve van a felszólalóktól, bemásolok egy élő közvetítést ha valaki lemaradt volna - ártani úgysem árthat.
San Francisco press conference
The event will begin soon...
2:18
OK, I hope some of you can see this. We're starting now.
2:19
THey'[re showing a movie and just showed the logo. They're talking about the history ofd the Star Wars games. BioWare execs on screen.
2:20
They're talking about KOTOR and KOTOR 2.
2:20
Just a montage of play.
2:21
"We were looking to get back to KOTOE in a very big way." - LucasArts boss Daryl Rodriguez. He's just called it the worst kept secret in gaming history.
2:21
He's just official announced the MMO. He's saying BioWare was the natural choice to take on the project.
2:22
BioWare's story-telling expertise and EA's ability to deliver a mass-scale game sealed the deal.
2:22
Ray Muzyka (CEO) and Greg Zeschuk (president) from BioWare are on now.
2:23
The BioWare community's been looking forward to the game for a long time. Yep, that is true.
2:24
Story-based MMO. He's said that ab few times now. He said that this isn't KOTOR 3 - it's 3, 4, 5, 6, etc."There's that much to it."
2:24
"It's a whole galaxy. It's a galaxy of Star Wars."
2:25
Customisation, combat, story. Story gives meaning to your actions, apparently. "It's going to take your gaming experience to a higher level."
2:25
That was Ray. Greg on now. He's talking about bringing the greatness of Star Wars to life.
2:25
No gameplay today. They want to "get it right" before they show it. It's got RvR, he just said,
2:26
He says they're going to create something that all levels of MMO experience can enjoy.
2:26
He's talking about companion characters now.
2:26
Han and Chewy, Luke and R2, etc. The companion characters are "the lens through which you see the world."
2:27
You cna manipulate and change the companions, and they can also help you.
2:27
KOTOR 2 is "completely dwarfed by this product... a mammoth undertaking."
2:27
New video. It''s a "thematic piece to whet your appetite."
2:28
Thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader...
2:30
Massive ship over planet. Crystal floating in front of woman. Amazing desert space port. Sith and droid. Sith crushing guard's neck and gaining access to port. Sith walking with red light saber. The womand a jedi. Which side will you choose? Star Wars music.
2:30
Goosbumps. Looked wicked.
2:30
James Ohlen, creative director from BioWare Austin's on.
2:31
The game's the most compelling and challenging project he's worked on. He reckons it's the first truly story driven MMO. Hundreds of years before the movies. "It allows players to carve out their own epic stories."
2:32
The game takes place 300 years after the other KOTOR games. A new Sith empire has risen.
2:32
Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire are the two factions, and each has its own story.
2:33
All the assets they're showing on screen are the same shots you can find on the homepage.
2:33
Players will have to make a lot of hard choices - good, evil, pragmatic, or simply unpredictable.
2:34
The companion characters are going to play a big part in the game from the sound of it.
2:34
It's going to be an experience like no other, apparently.
2:34
Jeff Dobson, art director for the game, is now on.
2:35
He reckons it's by far the most ambitious product he's ever worked on.
2:36
They wanted something that was unique in terms of style. They're showing the screenshots on the screen.
2:36
Blah. He's talking about the look of Star Wars in general and "what the Sith are into".
2:37
"Everything gets concepted." Chairs, wallhangings, etc.
2:37
Thjey wanjted to make it feel like concept art that's come to life.
2:38
"No one wants to be just a guy." If you're strong you have broad shoulders and a square jaw. They want to create the fantasy of what it's like to exist in the Star Wars universe.
2:39
He says it'll be able on a "broad range" of computers.
2:39
From "mid-level" to cutting edge PCs.
2:39
It's "far from finished" but all the screens are in-game.
2:39
Gameplay trailer.
2:40
Wow/
2:42
Three or four different cities and bases, lava vistas, caracters with light sabers, fightings monsters, traffic in the sky, amazing cities, jedi force combar, martial arts moves, males and female sith and jedi. Looks very cool. to be honest.
2:42
PvP and raiding confirmed.
2:43
Greg - "We really believe this game will be something special." They're refusing to date it.
2:43
LucasArts boss wrapping up. He's saying how excited they areabout the partnership with EA and BioWare.
2:43
Q&A now.
2:44
Q - Was it pre-alpha? Greg - "Yeah... hot off the presses but there's still a lot of work to do."
2:44
Ray - They won't say how long they've been working on it. "We want to make sure we deliver a great experience,"
2:45
Greg - "We're only talking about PC today." That was in answer to a question about consoles.
2:45
Subs - They won't talk about business models.
2:46
"We're less focussed on a release date" and more interested in the delivering a great game.
2:46
Greg just said there are classes in the game.
2:46
Someone just asked about Star Wars Galaxies. "Today we're just focused on the Old Republic."
2:47
Will there be a beta? "Yeah, at some point," said Rodriguez.
2:48
Classes - If you can do it in the movies, you can do it in this game. Ray said that.
2:48
They're going to show the gameplay trailer again.
2:50
It's classed as "pre-produiction gameplay fgootage," Very cartoony. Loads of dynamic lighting off the light sabers in combat. Plenty of special moves going on: Sith shooting fire from hands, lightning abilities, etc.
2:51
That's it. Keep watching. There are going to be interviews, etc, so we may do more stuff. live. Thanks for tuning in.
