Actually these ARE the TRUE Sith that Revan had premonitions of and went off the into the deep end of the dark side to fight against.

He became just a dark Jedi sometime around finding the first Star Forge map. While trying to complete the maps, he found the True Sith led by their Emperor. Realizing that this was the true threat all along, he tried to fight fire with fire but Malak betrayed him and this is when KOTOR 1 happened. After being redeemed to the light, Revan still had the True Sith to worry about and went off along to stop them. Then KOTOR 2 takes place and loose ends are tied up.

Apparently Revan failed because now the True Sith arrive and tear the Jedi a new one. This is when TOR takes place.

I've yet to read any literature that suggests such. Outside of this game, I haven't heard of any true Sith returning to the Republic.

It's really great how many people are helping fact check the ToR Lore without actually going to the site or playing the game. Make sure you guys e-mail your corrections to Bioware soon as I doubt that either they or lucasarts have anybody who knows anything about Star Wars lore.

Judging by what they did to star wars galaxies I'm not so sure.

Is it just me or is all of the gameplay footage release so far really low FPS? I wonder if that is an artifact of the recording or if the alpha (beta?) code just needs a lot of performance tweaks.

I noticed that as well. It must have been alpha code because the demo they were showing on G4 (they showed you starting out as a sith) looked pretty smooth too me.

Yeah I see what you mean now. I usually skip the ones with G4 hosts/commentators because they make me want to throw my speakers out the window. :whiste:

When you watched The Empire Strikes Back did you refuse to believe Darth Vader was Luke's father because you hadn't "read any literature that suggests that?"

Its a new game. It has new "lore" that you haven't heard about yet. Thats what helps make it new. I don't know what else to tell you if you refuse to believe what will become canon just its new.

Also, please read these:

(Another group of survivors from Naga Sadow's Great Hyperspace War, and thus, True Sith)

My enthusiasm and excitement after watching the animated trailers is only surpassed by the underwhelming response elicited from me after watching gameplay footage.

That's just fancy talk for "it'll suck"

No. thats just the fact we are all severely JADED from all the FAIL coming out of the MMO world.

Because clearly WoW is a huge failure right? I love how because YOU don't like something it is a failure, despite an MMO being the fastest selling title ever, twice over by the way.

WoW.../wrists right fanboi?

WoW is indeed a good mmo. or at least was. At any rate you've mentioned 1 game from a genre that spans many years in existance.

How about WAR, AoC, Aion, and countless others.

Sure there are failures, but there will be in ANY genre. Everquest - success; Ultima Online - success; Final Fantasy XI - success.

And clearly, I am a WoW fanboi because when a game has 11 million subscribers, has TWO expansions that were the fastest selling title upon release, and is the benchmark for what a successful MMO is, I defend it. Grow up

He's citing the trend, not the exceptions.

There have been far, far more failures that have been highly hyped than the success stories you mention.

God knows every other genre hasn't any magnitude of failures

Sure there have, but that's not the line of discussion I was responding to.
