hope it wont be too black and white in terms of being "evil or good"
Sith arent necessarily evil, they have their own point of view and think differently about whats best for the galaxy

I wonder what happened to Revan. SWKOTOR was truly epic because of him and SWKOTOR 2 a bitt dissapointing without him. Revan is the best Star Wars character ever to my opinion.

I hope they will explain what happened to him in this game.

Keep up the good work Bioware loved all your games so far, sure to love this one 2.

on a more random note, i find that the best ways to kill jedi are as follows:
#1: Expolosives, and plenty of them, if they can block your blaster ( which they can) than hit em hard with something they can't block, and i'm not talking about grenades, i mean stuff they can't through back at ya, like land mines.

#2: stealth and suprise
think of the sith assassians from kotor 2 or better yet general grevious from the clone wars when they first came out, the anomateded version when grevoius made his first apparence, he was invince able and an absoulte killer, why? cause he broke them, before he suprised and engaged them.

#3: limited ranged combat:

jango fett was killed by mace windu because he attacked with his blaster

carth onasi was knocked out by darth malak when he attemted to shoot him with a blaster.

han solo shot at darth vader in the empire strikes back, he deflected it harmlessly,

a driod tried to shoot anikin skywalker while he was killing the seperatist leaders in revenge of the sith, he bounced it back.
and honestly, how many of you have brought a blaster to a lightsaber fight in any starwars games?

wow!WOW!WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAVO to the development team on this one. Story driven MMORPG with consequences all with a FPS feel, fantastic! I can only hope the storylines take me back to that place when i first saw the movies and read the books.

can someone help me! i dont know how to play the game i made an account but how do i play this game can some one help me lol

I have always loved Bounty Hunter in Star Wars Galaxies and will definitely be looking forward to it in this game after watching this. Cannot wait!

oh by the way,
a?

I just saw mini-rocket from Wristpack? wow... Now I dont care about WoW graphic. So when it comes out? :/

I hope the Bounty Hunters have a way of taking people alive, instead of just killing every one of their marks. Kinda like Fett wanted Han Solo alive.

Please enable timejump a few years forward in time... Must have this game:)

Still looking amasing, and seems to be coming along really well, although some of the movement still looks to be needing a polish. Still, early days.

But I have one Gripe...

This is Star Wars, NOT World of Warcraft.
Big cartoony armour has absolutely no place in any Star Wars game. The truly stupid shoulderguards on te Sith Lord about half way in look ridiculous and out of place. Storm/Clone trooper/general military armour in Star Wars is moulded to fit and functional, not over the top and impractical. As much as i dislike them, spandex bodysuits are at least functional, and i do apreciate that loose robes are hard to model (but *please* try!).

The overriding message of this, and listen up designers, is;

OVERLARGE CARTOONY ARMOUR HAS NO PLACE IN THIS GAME AND SOULD BE REMOVED

Thankyou.

i could not agree more with you !

Wow. Just, wow. Didn't take long for the comments section to be overloaded. And they delayed this release a bit. It is worth it though.
I'm seeing a lot of nay-sayer on this site, and while I agree with some of what they're saying in principle, we have to remember THE GAME ISN"T OUT YET. It's still in the early stages, we haven't seen most of what they plan to do yet, and it is a little soon to start trashing the thing.
Personally, I hope they don't stop adding planets for a while. I want to see more places and really explore the galaxy a little.
More species please. (Shistavanen wolfman, maybe?). Waiting for the wookies and trandoshans. Keep up the awsome work!
May the Force be with us all.

Really nice vid, thanks for the update and let the progress continue...

This game looks amazing to me but there is very Huge chalannge coming .... World Of Warcraft .. One of the best online games.. sying truth the game is the best game online ever created ... Warhammer online .... not even make medium challange for World of Warcraft ... 2 exoansion packs that are extrymly amazing ... lot of stuff going there ... raids , groups and many epic itemas that you gain through playing instace with others ... Great PVP and PVE ... And i don't really thing so that this game can beat World of Warcraft but i hope it will be great and will be nice to play it

U Must really not know anything about the true SW fan base if u think That this game won't blow WoW out of the water if not just for a little while.As if PvP I like the way EA did RvR on WarHammer. Being as this game is coming out when it is I only hope they take the Best from all the MMO's if this is truelly a MMO not just a Hell gate MMO. If they use the Crafting from WoW & LoTRo , RvR/PvP from WoW & WarHammer, Housing from LoTRo not SWG, Troyp's from WarHammer & LoTRo (Housing troyp's Like stuffed beast, LS wall mount's from Jedi u killed or Armor case from armor u toke from a gen. u Killed,Then of corse one's that u put on your person like medals,Bot part's from thing u killed and awards.)Now I like the renown in Warhammer better then any other MMO and if they take lesson's from the past and add there own twist this Game could be a Ground Breaking Master peice that ppl will be tring to best for years to come. Who am i Kidding this is going to be ground braking look at the ppl who still play SWG even after they ruined it because It's SW.

Looks very promising!
Although i did think about the "jedi can do evil deeds and still be jedi and vice versa for the sith" part.
Isnt the whole idea of the Star Wars universe and the force, that you have to deal with the consequences of your actions? So either youre a helpfull mamas boy Jedi through and thruogh or youre a self-centered ego trippin´ sith all the way?
That said i hope theres gonna be some customisation weapon wise.
Theyve hinted a "construct your own lightsaber" quest so im hoping they make it possible to make different variations like; dual blade, one in each hand, spear, upside down style (Ahsoka Tano)

With every new vid and press release they put out you can see the game coming further along, and the team at bioware flushing out more of the elements that are starting to make this game look truly great. TWO THUMBS UP....WAAAAY UP.

Keep the info coming guys and gals and keep doing what you do best....Making Incredible games ;-)

oh and a msg to the "pvp" guy below:easy with the lightsaber rambo...

looks nice really...the story has great potential too...oh!almost forgot guys something is rumoured about a releas in october does anyone knows if its true?
i know that its almmost impossible since we have almost no clue about the game but wahammer online devs didnt give much info either 10 months before the release...im not impatient or anything i just really want this game to be awaesome and to dethrone at last the cancer named wow and if someone can do it its bioware...

love it this is just getting really great!!!

I doubt that this game will be anything unlike similar to (W.O.W.) because bioware and lucsarts are smarter than Blizzard. In W.O.W. it’s basically about armor and raiding and ***** and spending countless hours getting them which are stupid in my opinion. Swtor the game is mostly likely to be about the story which is great because it would fit in the genre of lucasarts and Bioware. In swtor I heard that although you’re a Sith you’ll be able to be good and do good things or either stay neutral. Vice versa for the Jedi’s, they can be evil although there a Jedi. This game will be Awesome!!!

This is going to be LEGEN...wait for it, wait for it, i hope nobodys lactose-intolerent DAIRY!

This video is the same as the last, nothing new for info. All emphasis is on the single-player aspect, nothing of MMO. Ridiculous. As a single-player game, great, looks awesome. AS an MMO, poor, garbage, trash etc...

Nice video. A few more details on how the story element is going to work, but the really good parts are the fact there's more in-game action, concept art, and of course the subtle announcement of the new class. I'm extremely glad that the game isn't going to be just Sith and Jedi, and the early footage of the bounty hunters with the jet pack and the flamethrower looked really promising.

Hopefully we'll get a walkthrough of Nal Hutta soon, I'm interested in seeing how it looks like in motion. Keep up the good work.

WOW!!!!! This is gonna be AMAZING!!!!!!

man the gameplay sounds really awesome... I do have on question... will players be able to interact??

but why? that takes all the fun out of it. I could understand different races not being able to understand each other right away but, you should be able to interact between sith and jedi cause how else could you "roll play" trying to convert someone to the other side? :)

maybe he's asking if the republic and sith are able to interact, Cause in wow the alliance and Horde spoke different languages so you couldnt understand each other.

My guess is that they might do this to prevent some serious trash talking lol

i would assume it will be more like wow we will be interacting all the time, and seeing people all over.

Well the real question is how that interaction will work. This game could run like Guild Wars and we'd only see other players in a major city. Or It could be like World of Warcraft (hopefully in very few ways) and everyone will have to deal with each other constantly.

ummm its an MMO thats usually the point... to interact :)

Quote quote XD

Quote quote quote (so excited x 3 x 3) XD

so excited so excited so excited

absolutely amazing. Can't wait till it comes out.

OMG...these snip-it's are killing me. GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!

Does anyone know how many worlds there are going to be? I heard there was going to be every world in the movies and every world in kotor... Is that right????

-------------------------------------Please Respond---------------------------

This just revived my faith in TOR...

Seriously if they put as much depth into the characters and classes(cant wait to be a BH) as they will with the story then I *may* have to come out of retirement from mmos...lol

rexx the important word in that quote isn't bounty hunter but 'mere'- Being nothing more than what is specified, i.e average/normal.
But bounty hunters in the game are not average but the best of the best.
A 'mere' bounty hunter certainly couldn't take down a jedi but we don't play 'mere' bounty hunters.

Rexx, in Episode II the bounty hunter actually managed to kill a twi'lek jedi rather easily. Besides MAce Windu was one of the top jedis of his time so it's not a huge surprise he killed a bounty hunter with a blaster. As explained by HK-47 in KotOR II, there are many ways to kill a jedi. There are many weapons at the disposal of a bounty hunter other than blasters you know.

SimplyC, you forgot to take into account that Jango had just gotten trampled on by a Reek, then if you noticed the sparks on his jetpack and suit you could see it was all short circuiting. So on top of all that, it was the heat of battle and as soon as he finished taking care of the creature charging at him, he turns around and immediately gets attacked by the 2nd strongest jedi at the time, not counting Anakin, I think Anakin would have lost to Mace if it was a fair fight, not that cheap shot he took at him when the emperor was zapping him.

No they didnt,bounty hunter are mostly scum,and Jango was a Mandalorian commander,before that all started,a leader of his kin,fighting and killing a lot of jedi,and he was an POWERFUL BH,who got killed by a POWERFUL Jedi,so like in life anything can happen within star wars,they are no set rules about who can kill who,just that an average BH will fall to a average Jedi and even thats not necessary always true .Youve got a point otherwise.

Looks good but,

First off lets start out with this quote from Darth Malak:

No mere BOUNTY HUNTER can stand against a JEDI!

If Bounty Hunters are going to be able to hunt Jedi in this game. You have to remember that there are Governments in this game (REPUBLIC AND SITH) that will not tolerate assassination attempts by Bounty Hunter's on there citizens, soldiers or politicians and would retaliate and track down the Bounty Hunter. In Star Wars episode two the Jedi council had Obi Wan hunt down the the Bounty Hunter in which later on in the movie the Bounty Hunter was killed by Mace Windu with only two hits one blow to his hand which in fact cut it off and the second blow to the neck area which in fact cut off the Bounty Hunters head.

Now you noticed in the movies there are no cool downs on attacks made by every one. Now i hope that in this game the combat will not be hindered in any way by the unrealistic cool downs like in world of warcraft and other online games out there.

This Balance garbage that i here a lot of is getting ridiculous! It sounds like socialism in online games to me, where everyone has to be balanced and bla, bla, bla. Trying to balance out characters in a game would be like trying to balance a Police Officer and a Special forces soldier it is just not going to happen or trying to balance an economy car with a dragster.

Make a Profession what it's supposed to be and leave the socialist philosophy of we all have to be balanced garbage out. everyone in this world is not balanced with each other! there are things that i can do that most of you cannot do and there are things that most of you can do that i can't do. Please stop Crying for balance! If you want to kill a Jedi, Jump on your Sith or if you want to kill a sith jump on your Jedi.If you still think that you may want to kill a Jedi or a Sith by being a profession other than Jedi or Sith you may want to bring a squad of troops with you if you get lucky you might succeed. This GARBAGE about every profession should be able to kill a Jedi or A Sith one on one is just Garbage!

Yeah can you imagine a Bioware press release,like this one

No mere bounty hunter can stand against a jedi,we shall not make the same mistake twice,are new game TOR 2 shall deal with that.

And no balance in a videogame is essential ,lifes not fair,a game that sells itself is,people dont want to be screwed by making a different choise.Im sure Bioware will make it so that BH can be lethal without making them super-soldiers,even the lowliest BH can kill a jedi using deception,traps or using his allies as bait,jedi have major weaknesses,they are powerful,but are still just people,with morals that can be exploited,in truth anyone can kill a jedi by blowing him up,or blowing a building hes in.

THE GAME'S BETA MUST BE RELEASED IN THIS SUMMER! I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR IT! PLEASE RELEASE IT THIS SUMMER!

Please BioWare, Lucas Arts listen to what some of us are saying. Don't release this game until it is ready. Don't release the beta till you are ready. I would be extremly happy with a Dec 2009 Beta launch. I have been patiently waiting since I first heard that BioWare was developing a MMO and Lucas Arts had been approached by undisclosed publishers about a new Star Wars MMO. I knew then that SWTOR was the game that I was hearing rumors about, I wasn't sure of the time period or name but I was hopeful of a Old Republic time frame. My point is that we have waited this long, and will continue to wait till the game is ready please don't rush production because some fans want it now, that would be disastorous. That would probably kill the game. Please don't make that mistake, there have been too many mistakes like that made with games that had great potential.

This game look like it's shaping up nicely! Keep up the good work guy and gals!
Problem is now I'm torn between which class to play already and i'm sure more will be announced soon!

careful there, it took ten years for them to release Darkfall after it was announced.

That said, they bought the engine the game's running on and started developing it 05-06-ish. A release late this year (the actual game, not beta) isn't entirely out of the question.
