GamesCom 2011 Day 2 Recap

Day 2 brought us lots of gameplay videos from lots of the people at GamesCom.

 

From BioWare.. we got an interview with Cory Butler (Producer):

Highlights from the Video are:

More than just armor and weapons are craftable via crew skills.

No same gender romances

Brief description of PvP that’s in the game (besides Warzones)

 

We got a ‘BioWare Breakfast’ from BioWarePulse, which has a Q&A about TOR with the two Drs.

TOR stuff starts around 4:30, and includes:

No ingame voice chat

Need to be signed up on the site for Beta Weekends, they won’t be ‘open’ in the traditional sense.

Morality (light/dark/gray) side gear in game.

Phase 2 of Guild Program ‘soon’

No plans for other games set in The Old Republic ‘universe’.

No new races before launch.

 

 

Day 2 also brought us the first part of a Twitter based Q&A with Stephen Reid and Gabe.  Since that stretched out for a couple of updates, it’ll get it’s own entry though.
