Wraith 8 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 well this is all i could find... a press release about PS2 and Xbox LUCASARTS TO DEVELOP VERSIONS OF Star Wars® GALAXIES™ FOR XBOX™ LIVE AND PLAYSTATION®2 SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- May 20, 2002 -- LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC today announced its intent to develop versions of the company's highly anticipated first game of its Star Wars® Galaxies™ online series for Xbox Live and PlayStation 2. Specific release dates for the Star Wars Galaxies-branded massively multiplayer games for the two next generation console platforms will be announced at a later time. This December LucasArts will release a Windows PC version of the game, developed by Sony Online Entertainment, titled Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided™. The Star Wars Galaxies online game series is designed to immerse literally thousands of players into the rich Star Wars universe. The series will feature dynamic role-playing adventures across multiple planets during the classic Star Wars timeframe. Game play will offer a unique combination of combat, exploration, social interaction, specialized missions, and daring quests. "The ultimate goal with these versions of Star Wars Galaxies is to solidify LucasArts' position at the forefront of the emerging online console game genre, and we're confident this strategy will do just that," says Randy Breen, vice president of development for LucasArts. "By offering the Star Wars Galaxies series on video game consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation 2, LucasArts will be able to bring this eagerly awaited game to an entirely new audience of players who previously may not have had an opportunity to experience it." "We're thrilled that Star Wars Galaxies -- the most anticipated massively multiplayer game ever -- is coming to Xbox Live," says J Allard, general manager of the Xbox platform. "We designed Xbox from day one to support great online games like Star Wars Galaxies. This announcement validates our vision that the best games of the future will take advantage of the Xbox system's built-in broadband support." "We're delighted to partner with LucasArts in bringing the Star Wars universe to the PlayStation 2, the world's best-selling next-generation game system," says Andrew House, senior vice president, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Our goal with bringing PlayStation 2 online is to be able to showcase dynamic content that fosters multi-player opportunities and community building. The mass appeal of Star Wars combined with the tens of millions of PlayStation users represents a huge step forward in computer entertainment and the future of online gaming."

Juztyn Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The Xbox/PS2 systems will likely be simplified from the PC versions. I think Q3P0 has already said that PC and console users will not be able to play with each-other. The servers will be totally seperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith 8 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Originally posted by Kyle d'Tana Can they play in a world, where the other ppl are animated and controled by computer? uhmm.. what? SWGalaxies is MMORPG this stands for Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. it is like it said an online game with at this momnent 8 star wars planets where you can look around. one planet is the size of (Real) 64 square kilometers. Now you have 3 versions. PC Xbox PS2 asll of these consoles will get tyhose planets with the same sizes... but they will not be able to connect. PC with Xbox = NOPE PC with PS2 = NOPE XBox with PS2 = NOPE PC with PC = YES Xbox with Xbox = YES PS2 with PS2 = YES i think you catch my drift -Wraith 8- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 WHAT?!?! They've dropped the size of the planet sections from 256 square km to only 64 square km?!? When did this happen? Tell me that was a typo, plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunClown Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I think the PC and console versions will be made seperate basically because of the different control schemes that each use (eg K/B and Mouse VS GamePad). Both of these make for different types of gameplay and Graphical User Interfaces, simply because of the way a gamepad works. Online chat anyone (using a gamepad)??? ALSO, was that smaller planet sizes for the consoles or the PC as well??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And well, given the differences in the ability to patch and evolve the game on consoles and PC's, the version has to be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
