Jan Gaarni Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Noone knows. We don't even know for sure when it will come out in the U.S. at this time. Oh, and: Welcome to the SWGalaxies.Net Forums!!! I'm Jan Gaarni, XO of the Official Welcomming Committee and Moderator of this place. Be sure to check out the Read This First thread at the top of this forum, as it contains some guidelines on how to behave, if you haven't all ready. Most here are friendly and the aggression level is far from what you will find in the Official SWG Boards, so I'm sure you will like it here. Please feel free to stay as long as you want. And have some chocolate covered gnorts. Complementary Juztyn. Also be sure to check out the SWGalaxies.Net site which is connected to these forums. We hope you enjoy your stay here on the SWGalaxies.Net Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Yeah no one knows. Lucasarts has posted a To be Anoounced on their official website. They started Beta 3 testing. Don't really know how long that will take. We don't even know if they are going to release X-box, Playstation 2 and PC versions at the same time.

UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I hate to be speculative- but I highly doubt that they'll release the xbox and PS2 version at the same time as the PC version. It took them forever to finally release EQ Adventures for the PS2. I wouldn't be surprised if the console versions are release 6months to a 1year after the PC version is released. This also brings in another question? Would you play this on a console? I mean, it's not going to be as good, it's just impossible for a console to keep up with the PC industry. The hardware advances just too fast. Anyone have EQ Adventures? Tell us a little bit about your experience playing an MMORPG on a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatoriaN Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 lmfao! gotta love those welcome messages! they crack me up everytime. okay go back no topic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I would rather play it on Playstation 2 than PC. My computer is out of date. I don't have the job or income to get a new one this year. Plus, Playstation 2 Star Wars games look so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inflamez Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I wouldn't wait till it comes out in the UK. Buy it online or go to some import-computer-game-shop. I already pre-order my copy of SWG in a nearby store because I heard there will only be a limited number of copies sold in Europe at the initial (US) release.

UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I understand that joesdomain- I'm pretty sure though that they'd be on separate servers. Go to http://www.newegg.com that's where I built my machine, and I built it for just under $430. That's of course providing that you have a monitor, mouse, keyboard. Also, here is a thread I started and you can see my specs. You may need a cheaper video card though, there are some nice 64 mb ddr out there for about $50. Here's the link to the thread: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 you could get a nice computer to play on pc for ONLY: 3,500! nvm, yeah, ps2 is KINDA cool but nothing will ever match up to the power of the pc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 The only PC star wars games i like to play are the first two dark forces, rogue squadron 3-d, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and Clone Campaigns. Then again the new star wars pc games coming out need at least 16MB video card and sometimes 32MB minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Joesdomain, what system you got running now? And for your sake- I hope that the PS2 version comes out close to the release date of the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffleman Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hmmm, the only problem I see with the console gaming is the fact that there is a massive shortage of network adapters for the ps2 and dont even get me started on the Nazi faction that is X-box live. Also, think about this all those thinking about buying it for console!! NO UPDATES, no patches atall for the PS2 untill the hard-drive comes out and dont even get me started on the x-box live #^%&. Hey joesdomain, if you live in California I could build you a PC, really cheap, really fast! I built my 2.4 P4 with a ti4600 and some monster sound and about 512mb memory for only $750.

legameboy Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 waffle, i had to pay 2 and 1/2 times what you had to pay for yours, thats gotta be crazy, give me more info on your compu, procc., how many mhz, ghz? ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffleman Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Alright legameboy, here is what I BUILT... 52x cd-rom-$25 16x-dvd-rom cdrw combo drive- $50 Mainboard, processor, fan, heatsink 2.4ghz- $210 (cheaper now) Monster sound card mx400 (outdated but sounds good) $35 Cambridge soundworks 3peice speaker set -$30 Ti 4600 geforce 4 video card (my baby) $200 Floppy- Yanked outta old PC IBM 60GB 7200rpm hard drive-$80 400watt powersupply and window case with neon blue light-$110 and I still use outdated pc133 memory 512mb-cost about $40 ok, so ordering from places that give free shipping if you buy this much stuff saves alot!! Also, knowing where to shop is important, you have to consider if you bought the same thing from Dell it would cost and upwards of $1500 because their money scrounging bastereds. But...this is the altime greatest tool any PC builder will use unless buying wholesale http://www.pricewatch.com Soooo, I dont know whether you built your computer but it'll save you an arm and a leg if your a builder...go into barnes and noble and buy a how to build PCs for $30 bucks, its the best investment ive ever made!!

setsuko Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Really, if you can see the difference of a motherboard and a hard disc, there is no excuse for not assembling your computer yourself, custom made. If you don't, then there's no excuse for not getting a friend who can do it for you! You'll get a much better computer, and sometimes even at half the price (if you REALLY crawl the net and computer magazine adds carefully and thoroughly). More importantly, you'll get exactly the computer you want, which is good, since all computer dealers supplies computers with an insane ratio of processor speed vs RAM. I mean, who the "#¤%@ needs a 2,4 gHz processor paired with 128 MB of RAM anyway? And you'll learn a lot of computers, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 ok, heres mine, tell me if it was worth the money: 512 RAM Geforce 4 Ti 4600 Pentium 4 2.4 Proccesor Altec Lansing 3-Speaker Set (Two regular speakers, subwoofer) Creative Labs Sound Card i dont know how to figure out the rest like the cd/dvd speed, can you help me out on that?

setsuko Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 If you really want to know how good a computer you have, your specs says little. We need the friend of all 1337 computer geeks, the one who confirms whether your additional 128 MB of RAM you got makes a difference or not... Captain Benchmark! Really, benchmarking gives you an idea just how well your computer performs, because this has a lot to do with how compatible your components are, how you configured your OS, what OS you use, what cooler you have for your processor and a million other things. This is what really tells apart a kickass system and a lookalike. Me, I'm not that into benchmarking, but then I also see little point in bragging with system specs! Here's a few links for you who wants to try, though. 3dBenchmark2000 is the only app I've tried, so I can't recommend any other. Romulous 2's brief guide PCGuide giving a few warnings nV News provides a basic tutorial, though it's aimed for niVidia cards Sysopt.com also has a good guide. Mind you, benchmarking does include tampering with your computer, so if you are not sure about how your settings works, and are not fond of the thought of spending an hour or two learning it the hard way (by trial and error), don't do this. But if you think hardware is fun, go ahead, you'll learn a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 To quote SysOpt: "While companies usually express performance in terms of pixels or texels per second, these measurements do little to describe actual performance returns since other limitations generally affect a chipset's performance." This is why all this "these are the components I have in my computer, can I play SWG?!" posts are useless, not only because the specs are not out yet, a list of components only gives us a hint of how the system performs. A qualified hint, yes, but still just an estimation. Good to know my ranting isn't totally worthless, but actually leads to teaching things now and then, legameboy!

Not bad by any means, but if you're a gamer, I'd suggest getting an AMD Athlon 2600 as opposed to your Pentium 4. Unless you are planning on digitial editing, that is.
