Star Wars: The Old Republic Trailer Swings Sabers
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 01, 2009 4:28pm PDTThose naughty Sith are at it again, always scuppering the poor Jedis' plans. Or is it the other way round? I suppose that depends on which side you choose in BioWare's fully voice-acted MMORPG. Either way, epic lightsaber battles are promised.

Im not psyched about this title at all..
cause ive played StarWars Galaxies *cringe* its true.. i went out bought that game thinking it would have Xwing and tie fighter dog fights.. as like the game advertised.. i got on it..
had to pay to play on line.. as like the World of Warcraft..
and after takeing a entire week to just find where i could fly the aircraft..
it was all the most crapiest graphics ive ever seen...
and only had to fight the AI aircraft the same 6 ships over an over.. i quickly canceld my account..
the connection with the lucas arts servers online was heavily delayed, even with my DSL i would get dropped.. find myself trying to walk into a walls.. cause the connection wasn't stable.. and Lucas arts' servers wernt harden/streghthen by any othr then just one crappy connection..
but then that was star wars Galaxies.. this is hopefully brand new senario
The force unleashed was a well developed game, but i didn't like the third person view.. i liked Jedi outcast first person view.. and if they had better light saber controls it would have been a lot better game...
What i would like to see.. All that ability plus Battlefront style of multiplayer gaming.. Where you could play as a jedi/bountyhunter/sith/trooper and it could pan out into aircraft fights.. infantry/other ground assault fighting.. it would still have RPG flare if they just allowed people to skill up in the game.. Cause i really.. really.. really really really hate.. world of Warcraft.. I like competitive game play.. not see how many points you can acumilate by trotting down to magical woods picking up a magical staff so you can go beat up the magical demon troll iguana that sits on top of fairly large rock..
Star wars always has great stories.. but ever since the Jedi knight/battlefront series the game has been plunging down to just wanting mass online pay to play sale out shit..

Well all that is the past and StarWars the old republic, is suppose to add a new step into the Starwars series.. knights of the old republic is based before Darth Vader, before anakin was ever born.. Its suppose to be a RPG style were u get to decide what side you are on and what not..

Since you can already play a Jedi, it would make sense for you to play a more powerful and well ranked trooper.
I want to know this: what's in the actual gameplay that is going to make it any different than every other MMO?

I also agree with the other posters. These should be the guys doing the Clone Wars cartoons and movies. WTF is up with Lucas?
