Star Wars: The Old Republic Codex

[May 06, 2011, 9:35 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

An update to the Star Wars: The Old Republic Developer Blog introduces the Codex in the upcoming MMORPG, which will allow the player an overview of the game's story, similar to other BioWare games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Here's word on the Codex, which is already 20% larger than a typical Star Wars novel: "For The Old Republic, we took the best of both systems, using our codex to not only elaborate on the settings you fight in and the creatures you kill, but also to plant seeds of knowledge relating to key personages and concepts from your class story and long-lost lore meant to give more feedback at large. We sketched out what we wanted, and told the writers to get to work. "

If they've invested 300 M into PRODUCTION of this game I can't even guess how long they'd have to keep a subscriber base to break even. Since you know that without new content added in, no MMO has enough material to keep people for a year. Which means they would have to invest more money into expansions to draw them back. 100M seems crazy expensive as well, considering the little bit of actual gameplay video they've shown us. I have not been blown away by anything I've seen so far, but that's not really indicative of a bad game..it's just how MMO videos are...boring. But the more videos they release that look setup and the more info they release that seems not to be the full details......the less interested I get. So, I hope that 80-100M they've got invested doesn't include any sizeable marketing..because that's been a piss poor investment to attract me. And I actually would like to find a new MMO to play, I am just not going to blindly pay for MMOs like I may have done in the past. It's never as good as the BS they release or the promises they make.
