Star Wars: The Old Republic Video Diary Explores Planets and Offers New Gameplay Footage

The slow drip of Star Wars: The Old Republic media continues with this video diary, in which members of the BioWare team discuss and demonstrate the various aspects that go into making each planet "a place that you're excited to go adventuring through."

Release details? Pricing? A Jedi craves not these things. Nor could a Jedi have them, for that matter, as BioWare is still being rather coy about the upcoming PC MMO.

this seems like the type of game that will be awesome at first when nobody really knows wtf is going on. hopefully they can deliver on endgame content.

I like one key phrase the writer said in that every planet has different choices or ways to further develop your character. I hope they develop this 'choice' and how it affects your character. Different laws or ways of interaction would really make different planets be more than just new textures and quests. Unfortunately, the rest of the dev. diary just talked about art and lack of choice so I hope it's always present.

Good lord this is looking incredibly gorgeous.
I KNOW they'll nail the storyline.
They will likely have some seriously good content on release and thereafter. Watch if they don't hold the release for more content.
There is as as yet to be a bad BioWare game.
Only remaining concern, with this being an MMO, is how they will get the gameplay down, PvP and PvE. It's a different ball game when you have game mechanics around an MMO. If anyone can nail it, BioWare's commitment to quality can.
