SWTOR keeps falling lower, and lower on my to play list. A recent article in a German magazine explaining space combat in SWTOR is leaving me quite disappointed.
The space combat will be on rails, or by the explanation it will be a Tunnel shooter. What does this mean? It means space combat is going to feel like you are on a rollercoaster. You will be on it basically for the ride shooting stuff as it comes toward you. It will be no different than playing a single player game.
You won't be taking your space ship, and exploring space, and flying anywhere you please. I don't see how this is exciting at all. Insert your gold coin, and enjoy your five minute carnival ride.
The real deal killer for me with space combat is no pvp. Of course they add a little blurp at the end that says they may add pvp at a later date, but how is that going to be possible with space combat being on rails?
