takennames Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 dont call me stupid, this may have been asked before, but here it is again. is there going to be beta for this game. if so when and where do i sign up??
takennames Posted April 7, 2003 Author Posted April 7, 2003 why not? we should like get together protest or something lol jk thanks neway.
Taos Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Heck, the xbox version of the game comes out in like two months....I think that's going to be cutting it a little close.
Jedi Apprentice Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Welcome to SWK.com takenames! Hope you enjoy your stay here. Do they even do betas for non-mmorpg games?
Hannibal Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 They have their own quality testers who test the game. Sorry. I don't remember any non MMORPG games having betas. It would be a disaster if one of those testers decided to give copies out to everyone. With a MMORPG you don't have to worry about that because they woudn't have access even if they had the game. Oh yeah....
Guest Jed Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Personally, the more I don't know about the game, the more excited I'll be when I get it. Nothing more satisfying than that "ooh" effect.
takennames Posted April 8, 2003 Author Posted April 8, 2003 for all u ppl who never saw a non mmrpg beta, they do exist, so i was just wonderin. too bad they got their own testers. PS i think the beta for non mmrpg games are not the real game. ie u cant play them online once they've stopped testing beta, just maybe a few single player missions. so, handing out copies wont help. after all u can only play the same mission so many times.

You're not under the impression that KOTOR has multiplayer, are you?
Burrie Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 And could you mayhaps elaborate a bit, takennames, because I really don't know what you're trying to say with that last paragraph. (might be my lack of sleep tho')

(might be my lack of sleep tho') Darn you Burrie!!! You were able to use "mayhaps" in a sentence before I could. This game has no online play whatsoever(not as good as mayhaps but it'll have to do ).
Burrie Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Originally posted by Hannibal Darn you Burrie!!! You were able to use "mayhaps" in a sentence before I could. Eek. First I piss GothicSith off by putting on a spoilerific signature image, and now I piss you off by using mayhaps... my reputation's lowering. <on a different note, Hannibal, your signature image really rocks>
Jedi Apprentice Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Do you perhaps just mean a demo, takenames? I am confused also. And what is this mayhaps you all speak of?
Arizor Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 /me does entertaining little jig Can I gets me one o' them sparkly medals guvna?
Com Raven Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Few things: You can't do a beta for a Xbox game, as you need a debug kit to play them, and you don't have one LEC never does betas, except of course Galaxies... There are often betas... I took part in: Mechcommander 2, Age of Mythology, Dungeon Siege, Forzen Throne, as well as several mmorpgs... Another beta running right now is for Rise of Nations...

leXX Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 All this leads me to ask, is there going to be a demo?
ultimaster Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 its really hard to do a demo for an RPG because of all the gameplay, and hours involved. I almost guarantee there won't be an Xbox demo, maybe one for PC though. How can you do a demo for this game?? Just the character creation is an involved process, and it doesn't seem realistic to expect a demo.
dark jedi 8 Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 i agree with you ultimaster, a demo for this game would be hard to do now, especially an x-box demo. plus i'd rather have them work on the game and not a demo. they might put one out for the pc/x-box after the game is released. just my opinion.

Just the character creation is an involved process, and it doesn't seem realistic to expect a demo. I'm sure they'd have you play the demo with a pre-made character. Just to get a taste of the game and not the character creation process. If they plan on doing a demo it will most likely be after the game comes out. For both PC and XBox. They haven't mentioned a demo though. It sounds like if LucasArts ask them to do it, they will. But otherwise they'll just keep working on the game.
ultimaster Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Yea, but if the demo had a preset character, it wouldn't be true to what the real games experience would be like. I'd rather wait until the full version either way. This game is huge, and I wanna go right through it instead of playing a demo, perhaps a preset character, that would just make the rest of the waiting more painful.
Hannibal Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 It would just be a small sample letting you see what gameplay was like. Maybe they would just put the option where you could create a quick character. But I couldn't see the whole character creation process being in a demo. Edited for spelling. What happened? I must be tired.
takennames Posted April 10, 2003 Author Posted April 10, 2003 i guess if theres no mplayer, it wouldnt be beta, itd be demo...
