Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
Bioware recently unveiled a trailer at E3 for their Star Wars MMO.

I may have my reservations about the game itself, but damn. If you can't dig the trailer you have no soul.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Yep, that was about my reaction too.

The trailer was great quality and they should make a animated SW movie just like that.

But I would think about playing it once I really get to see the gameplay and character development. I just don't want it like the first one.

You do realize that after playing a couple of hours with a lightsaber in your hand, the moves will quickly become repetitive. That was my experience with KotOR II; I was amazed by the moves that I saw in the trailer, but after being halfway through the story, I have seen all the moves. Now it's no longer that awesome.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
After playing both KOTOR for days on end, I never really did find the dynamic fighting animations boring...

or maybe it was the fact that I had twin silver-colored lightsabers. :P

That trailer looks hella sweet. I don't really care if the MMO is going to be nothing like that, inevitably; I'm just the kind of person that would rather watch the cutscenes from final fantasy than play the ****ty game. :D
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

Now that I have watched the trailer, these cannot be in-game moves. This is just a short film to advertise the product.

I have a feeling that it is simply a metheod of generating hype and it doesn't contribute to the story of the game at all.

They never claimed otherwise.

It doesn't contribute to the gameplay, but what you said is dead wrong: this is outlining the story of the game. The whole idea is that the Sith Empire has toppled the Republic.

 
Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
When the hell did the Sith ever topple the Old Republic?

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
Aside from in Episode 3?  :p

The idea is that the Sith Empire popped in from the Unknown Regions, kicked the Republic off Coruscant, and have forced an uneasy peace. It's kind of a cold war situation.

 
Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
Since when have the Sith ever been fans of the status quo?  You would think they would be pressing their military advantage over the peaceful Republic.

Aside from that, just watched the trailer, it was sweet.  I would still rather have KOTOR3 than this, which looks like an attempt to combine the KOTOR franchise with WoW.

The trailer is great, but it's a MMO. No way i gonna play that.
Make that a Single player game and i buy it.
Bioware succeeds and fails at the same time...disturbing.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
I agree. I really wish this was just KOTOR 3. I guess Bioware doesn't want to wrap up Obsidian's story? Or should we take this 'Sith Empire' to be the True Sith spoken of in KOTOR 2?

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
Well, by KOTOR2, the Jedi are mostly dead, and in KOTOR1, they are on Dantooine.  Too much of a stretch to say that there's a reason that they're on Dantooine?

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
We know why they're on Dantooine: because of Revan and Malak.

This is set well after that. The Jedi had a chance to rebuild, have a big ol' temple on Coruscant (as we see in the prequels), then get driven off again and forced back to Tython.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
It looks like the the KOTOR MMO is loosely based on the darkside ending of Kotor 1.

IIRC, the Jedi never left Coruscant.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic E3 trailer
my only issue with this is that i think i saw some gameplay earlier that looked cartoonish...
god i hope that the gmaes looks even a little like that trailer....
probably won't buy it, though, unless they had no sub fee, but that is rather unlikely...

No, I believe the lightside ending of KOTOR 1 is canonical. This is set several hundred (thousand?) years after KOTOR II.
