Keymod Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) If you watched the E3 trailer for swtor makeb looked like a sandbox planet. You could deploy weapons and such to use against enemies and showing the pillar fall at the end looked very awesome. Anyone else think this and cant wait for makeb?

SlmJmOSUMB Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I think you will be disappointed if you get your hopes up that there is going to be a big sandbox element to this planet or any other in the near future. If it was designed that way, I'd bet that Bioware would have highlighted it as a new exciting feature in the video. My guess is that the events in the video are part of the quest arcs for the world itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drom Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 NO! Don't hype it liek it! It's not sandbox game and we've seen many trailers (like Ilum vehicular combat) that did not deliver at all! Don't read too much into these trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNCommand Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I doubt it is a sandbox planet, all those things you listed sounds like quest moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossos Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 All the new stuff will be built on the old stuff. It's the reason why Cathars are the new race. The programming for much of this game is done by a third party that is fulfilling requirements placed on them by BW. Heck the LA Times wrote an article on how most of this thing was programmed over seas. Sorry, but it's more railshooting, and pathed planets.

skygon Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I notice that too, dont know if it is a sanbox planet, but it looks like it will have a lot of open space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gungan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 No, it just looks like using a turret in a quest or what Ilum should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonoku Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm not expecting any sandbox elements in this game. Bioware can't afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethmora Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Didnt they say the new planet was Hutt? way cant we see a big named planet like: Dagobah Dantooine Endor Kashyyyk Mustafar Naboo Yavin (Seeing we already have the bugs on tatooine) And the race we will be getting next, thats a let down. my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Ravenhurst Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Prove me wrong later, but I think it will be a reskinned Alderaan. Similiar mobs standing around waiting, no dynamic day/night/weather change, no fog, some kneedeep waters, some hovering birds and a lot of streets / corridors. And housing? haha, forget it. Hey, this is not SWG2, go back to your ship and click the door to take off into orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Scribe Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 While it might not be a sandbox it may be more involved than other planets. This quote from the announcement here on this site is interesting: A fully-realized world for you and your friends to explore, Makeb will also introduce an all-new storyline. What does fully-realized world for you to explore mean? And why did they call it the biggest part of the announcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorcist Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 What is known about this planet concerning lore? Other than the invasion by the Hutt cartel. What significance does it play in the Star Wars universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiabloDoom Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Deploying weapons does not define sandbox. I wish people would understand this concept more respectively. Sandbox originates from old games that used "sandbox mode". Even newer games such as Dead Rising 2 has it, Sim City had it, as have hundreds of games dating back 30-40 years. Look it up. Now that MMORPG's have adapted this term it is wildly misused and misinterpreted. http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/353134/page/1 Edited June 5, 2012 by DiabloDoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
