Clone Wars Adventures releases Umbara combat zone trailer

@Neiloch Not to mention that CWA's rail shooter isn't all that different from TOR's.

@Lucidus Exactly. Frankly I like CWA's space combat more. It has a bit more of a 'arcade' lean by chaining together kills for faster/stronger guns along with in level power ups and if you don't keep it up it resets. Meanwhile SWTOR's felt like 'going through the motions' on top of having to repeat missions to progress through it and get better equipment.

@(Unverified)

No, it doesn't. It's mostly moving in a Lobby with mini-games attached.

But this is...really weird. This preview seems to indicate a bit more Free Realms/MMO mechanics, at least in this one area/zone.

@Space Cobra yea from what I heard and read they're addressing that gameplay issue that players and gamers were criticizing them about the game being nothing but a lobby game. After a day playthrough when this game came out I left as well.

I hoped it would be like Free Realms at least but it wasn't even that. It was one lobby area with literally only 4 rooms and expensive cashshop items. The game was so small I was stunned that they pulled away so many team members to work on the game instead of Free Realms for like 2 years and that's all they had to show for it.

@Amlin

It's also interesting it's coming out Dec. 15th....

Also, since this is SOE's only Star Wars game when that date starts....

Hmm.... I can speculate, but I wonder why the turn to a more "open-world" enviromment. I'll not clutter up things with "conspiracy theories" until I get a bit more info in the casual way (by bumping into it). ;)

@Space Cobra Well I'll admit the Free Realms housing system is pretty robust. I've seen everything from a full mall with a Cinnibon shop, a Lady Gaga themepark, to massive 5 story complex housing nothing but Starbucks.

@(Unverified) They're both hanging on the Clone Wars cartoon style, that's for sure. CWA needs more (impossibly idealized) fat men though. Lots and lots more.

@Lucidus
Is it me or are CWA's graphics better than TOR's?

@BigAndShiny Nope their art style is far more inline with Star Wars than ToR's will be. Trooper armor looks exactly like clone armor, jedi gear exactly like jedi gear, also have a jawa pet along with droids. Housing is build your own based off whatever blocks etc you'd buy. Engine though could be tweaked a bit to bring it more inline with Free Realms but it is decent enough to be turned into a full fledged social MMO.

@Amusednow

That's what it seems.

I have a Commander Cody with a slung Machine Gun I am itching to try if this is the case.
