Crowkeeper Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Yes, I already know some computer gamers despise the console gamers and I do not wish to start some debate which is better. With that said, I just noticed that lucasarts.com has removed the Xbox logo from the Star Wars Galaxies product web site. Does anyone know if Galaxies has been discontinued for the Xbox? Again, I could care less about how some of you might feel about consoles, please try to keep this thread about whether or not this awesome game will end up on the Xbox! - Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I thought it was still coming out for X-box, PC and Playstation 2. I just checked at 11pm on April 25th. Don't know which website that came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I don't hate console gamers. Indeed, I enjoy fighter games on consoles. I guess people confuses the idea of hating console gamers, and severely doubt that you can play a mmorpg on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Star wars galaxies wouldnt be suited on thr xbox anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaWP Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I would think that the game would come out for the PS2 before XBox, due to the fact that SONY is making the game. But knowing the gameing industry today they just want to make alot of dinero, so my guess will be that they will make the game accessible to as many consoles as possible.

Jackrabbit Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I haven't heard anything about it being cancelled. You should probably ask around the SWG Forums...but be prepared to be called a n00b and get flamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Badass Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I do not know of any cancellations for Xbox, and just last week I saw the mock-up boxes for SWG Xbox over at GameStop near the front of the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I just saw the Lucasarts website and notice the same thing that the author of the thread has mentioned. Apparently, Lucasarts has taken Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided off it's list of X-box and Playstation 2 games. It only shows up on the PC list of games. That is wierd. Maybe they decided to release the PC version first and see how many people buy it. Then make the decision to release it for X-box and Playstation 2. Then again there is no release date for the PC version and the beta 3 testing phase has been going on about 4 weeks. I guess it won't matter for people like me who won't have internet access when it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Badass Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Maybe Lucas and Sony saw my thread about how *cough* unpleasant *cough* SWG would be on XBox and PS2. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_afro919 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 It was supposed to be released a lot later then the PC version. I dont like xbox anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 took they even really do a MMORPG on a console. What about the patches constantly provided to fix bugs that appear even after three beta testings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moon Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Xbox is just an overglorified PC anyway, releasing SWG for it would just be a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 not to mention the dev would have to tame down SWG because that 700mhz processor couldn't handle straight the PC version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Now that the playstation 2 version is not coming out. There is no Star Wars Playstation 2 game coming out for 2003. They better come out with something this year. All they have scheuled for 2003 for Playstation 2 are RTX Red Rock, Gladius, Indiana Jones and The Emperor's Tomb, Full Throttle: Hell on Wheels, and Secret Weapons over Normandy. I think they are going to release a new game at E3 2003 for all three console systems called Wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 It's probably for the best that the game isn't coming out for ps2....the system is pretty old now, I don't see how it could run it very well [especially when compared to the xbox]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Punisher Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Maybe I'm on the wrong thread, but since we're kinda talking about releasing, I'll go ahead, Many people say they don't know when SWG will come out, but when pre-ordering mine today, it said the delivery date will be June 14. Is this a speculation...? More importantly, did I make a big mistake pre-ordering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swediot=) Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 yes its an estimate and i dont think you made a mistake because they wouldnt charge you untill it was reeleased right where did you order it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Punisher Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I ordered it from EBGames. By the way, anyone wanting to pre-order, EBGames was the cheapest i found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Thanks for the tip. I still haven't pre-ordered mine yet, I don't know why. I'll try to do it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Playstation 2 may be the oldest of the systems but it is got advantages over systems like Gamecube. Such as the ability to play CD's and DVD's and ability to play games online. Back to the topic, I probably won't buy the PC version due to system requirements and being an online only game. I can only assume X-box and PS2 versions are cancelled for 2003 since they don't even appear in the list of games on Lucasarts.com. I can only hope there is a non-internet Star Wars for Playstation 2 scheduled for release for 2003 or I am going to be really upset at Lucasarts.

little brother Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I think one of the reasons why they might have canceled the game is because of the player interaction. With Xbox having limited Buttons for commands they game would be very limited on what you could and couldn't do. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Badass Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Not to mention the initial cost of playing it on the PS2 is well over $300. And then the monthly fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster_109 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 yeah its coming out for xbox just later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Badass Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 But can you PROVE it is coming out later? Such as with a link to the information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanek Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 The question of whether it was cancelled for the xbox has been on my mind for a while. My best guess would be that they probably want to wait until the PC version is up and running before releasing it for the Xbox. Another reason could be that they might want to integrate the Space Expansion into the Xbox version, since the Xbox doesn't handle expansion packs. I don't think that it's been cancelled, since SWG would work great on the Xbox. Now before I get flamed, let me state my case. 1.) A lot of people mention the controller as being a problem. Not so, look at Jedi Knight II which has the some of the lightsaber/blaster/sniper etc... play mechanics that are present in SWG. That game is fine on the xbox, so SWG should have no problem with that. 2.) Player interaction was mentioned. This is where you are completely wrong. The Xbox's voice communication totally trumps anything the PC has. It makes the game experience that much more interesting. 3.) Graphics has been mentioned a lot. Apparently the Xbox's 700 mhz processor can't handle the game. That's where a lot of people go wrong. A console works very differently from a PC, where as a PC has a processor that's designed for all sorts of different tasks. The console processor is optimized for a single task- playing games. The other thing is that the Xbox has a modified Geforce 3, and the game is being OPTIMIZED for the Geforce 3, so no problems there. 4.) The Xbox also has an advantage over the PC in terms of network performance. Xbox Live is a rock solid system, with none of the compatibility problems that plague some PC networks. 5.) Another person mentioned that the Xbox would have trouble with patching. Does "Downloadable Content" ring a bell? Personally, if the game doesn't come out for the Xbox by August, I'll basically buy a new computer to play the game. I'm not gonna wait until next year for this game, no way I'm gonna wait that long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
