Well preorder boxes are already being sold in some regions so that's obviously not what he meant (unless he was trolling). Maybe he was referring to some of the details like the insane CE price or 3/6 day head start.
You're joking right? Tell me you are.kodt said:
You're not...
Well, this one's shit anyway. Feels like overheating constantly, headphone jack doesn't work due driver issues or some other shit, Vista's not good even though i rarely have issues due to it.
I hope they delay TOR a bit so that i can get a bit time to get a new laptop...
Where you guys seeing system reqs? All I found so far is:
What are the system requirements for Star Wars: The Old Republic?
While we dont have the minimum system requirements available just yet, the goal is to make the game playable on most PCs.
I have a geforce 9600 GSO/nforce 680i old combo, wondering how bad the pain will be try run this.

I believe Reid once said the release date will follow preorders in a matter of hours, days or weeks, but not months. So I guess they will announce a date during the next three weeks. If you add the 4-6 weeks MMORPGs usually take between announcement and launch you end up somewhere in September.

They are printed on the back of the preorder boxes that some people got a hold on already.

I just don't see it being out the same week as BF3. They might be difference audiences, but I'd guess they are smart enough to give some time for either of them to breath before the other is release. At minimum two weeks either side of BF3. Two weeks after puts it too close to Skyrim (and MW3, but again different audience) so I'm thinking before.
Plus they probably don't want to have the ULTIMATE ORIGIN STRESS TEST with people downloading both TOR and BF3 from their servers at the same time. Another reason there will likely be a break in between.

You can probably run it on low settings with a relatively low resolution. The requirements are pretty forgiving.

Did not think about gamescom. They could announce it on august the 17/18th (first two days of gamescom) and would still be less than a month away from Thursday's announcement. So Reid would still be right about that.
More than 6 weeks between announcement and launch would be unusual for an MMORPG and they actually said they want to wait with announcing the release date for as long as possible in order to not tip of the competition. So why should they do it more than 4-6 weeks in advance?
Personally, if we do get the preorder stuff tomorrow (and that seems to be very likely), I am pretty sure it will launch in September

Depends if they want to announce it at an American convention. Also depends on what the release date actually is. If the release date is firm then that means that they're just polishing everything up now. Early September would imply a release date tomorrow. Late October than Gamescom or Pax Prime.

Not confirmed, but I'd bet on it.

Indeed. There was a picture showing a regular digital edition and a digital deluxe edition on Origin. Should be pretty save to say there will be a digital CE. We just can't be sure what's included and how expensive it is.
Cake place claims the graphics card requirements are
Video: ATI XT800 or better / NVIDIA 7800 or better / Intel 4100 or better. 256 MB minimum video RAM, shader 3.0 or better fully compatible graphics card.
And it does seem right. Maybe, a bit hard to say.

If i understood correctly, XT800 is older than whatever HD2600 is based on. So maybe my laptop has a chance to run TOR decently (at least without lame small resolution) after all? (I'm, uh, hopeless with graphics cards and terminlogy related on them.)

Yeah the X1800 is older than your card. But it was a higher end ATI card where yours is more of a mid-range ATI card as well as a mobile card (which are usually a bit slower). So even though it is newer, it is a little slower. I think your card supports DX10 though and the X1800 only supports DX9.
You might still be able to run the game though.
