i really hope they do have other species to play other than human =/

Combat looks great.

Can't wait, nice job Bioware. Hope 'im a Beta tester...

Release Date:

December 31, 2010

its true so said G4
Now it is time to sith to justice

Actually, I believe the release date has been rescheduled to the spring of 2011. The information can be found in this video from gamespot.com: http://au.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarstheoldrepublic/video/6246273/news-...

WOW such great work u guys have done to the game, BIOWARE is just amazing.

QUESTON!!!!!

i see alot of sith and lords wheres the sneak peek on the jedi :)

well, obviosly, i love the sith inquisitor, it will be my second dark side class after the imperial agent, but im more excited about the character models. the chick on the top right is awesome. i dig the tatoos. i'm excited to see just how expansive and selective the character creation for this game is. that's my favorite part of any game, so i'm excited to find out how high above their usual character creation bioware went this time

This will be an Alt-Aholics dream :)

The tornado and lightning attack is awesome. it would also be cool if dirt and rocks were flying aroung in the tornado.

awesome! maybe i'll be an inquisitor instead of a smuggler.

Nice man. Good work. A power of light, always try to diversify their effects, because people like that. =^.^=

Thanks for all the communication with this gives clear view of whats going on, and doesn't make us think its slowly, but this is fantastic maybe the sith are not that bad:

It will feel good to rip my jedi knight lightsabre through Sith Inquisitor, hehe, looking forward to this game.

It'll feel better to fry the Jedi with force lightning,mutilate the corpse,and finally finish the job with a teabag.

Lightening... cool. Maybe I'll choose the dark side??

You'd be a fool not to.Check out the Sith Inquisitor on the class page.It's easily the most impressive looking class on there.But the other classes shouldn't be ignored.I'll try to have multiple characters,in this order:Inquisitor,Hunter,Agent,Warrior.If I make another after that,I'll make it a trooper,but I probably won't make a Jedi.The satisfaction I get from frying the Jedi bowing at my feet while shouting,"We're not worthy!" is too much to throw away.

Cool stuff thanks for sharing!

very nice work all.

You know what this game needs...

Some crazy zombies in a confiend area and a mission where you'll have to kill them all.

that would be cool

(Duel of fates song plays) i am darkness i am raw power why do i fight not for my master not to benifit the sith i fight for power thats all i desire who am i i am sith hail sith (a slow evil smirk comes across face then puts hood on)

Force rage force crush force lightning and force choke are good starting power's for the warrior or inquisitor.

The warrior will have lightning and choke.I think bio ware should put as many power's in the game they can.here are some dark side power's.Drain life,deadly sight,force corrupt,force crush,force destruction,force plague,force insanity,force scream,force rage,force stealth,thought bomb.and a good finishing move could be another power called spear of midnight black.and during the flash point you should be able to use memory walk.If you dont know what the last two are just look it up.I think they all sould be available to the inquisitor,only be cause he or she focus on the mental aspect of the force,unlike the warrior who focus on the physical aspect.but to make up the lack of force power's the warrior should pick power's that fit his or her style,like force rage,force crush.

Some very nice work here!

Does anybody know if the inquisitor can use force choke? that would be cool.Same goes for the warrior if he can use force lightning...It would only be right.

Or better yet,we could give people a reason to be Inquisitor by not giving the Warriors lightning.

Sith Warrior has force choke.. Not sure about Inquistor

yes sith should be able to say "we;; I want to be a warrior and have lightning and choke oh and mabye drain life!"

hey guys i have a question. I know that a thousend people before had asked that question but does anybody have information about the relase ???

Naganor is correct during GDC they told X-Play (G4) that they are thinking Spring 2011 for the release.

If I remember correctly they stated that the release window for the game is spring 2011.

I notice that none of those women have hair longer than down to the shoulders. I suppose this is a good way to prevent hair glitching into gear and whatnot. Not the first time either, KoToR, Mass Effect and Dragon Age, there were no option for long hair. Oh well, it's not too bad I guess.

Hmmmmmm. This will need more time............ I must go back to the drawing board. Oh, suggestion, we should all get a piece of paper and write down ideas for star wars that will make it more popular than Brink and l4d2 though I really dont recommend play left 4 dead. Anyway, we need to so Lucas can get rich.

with power like that who need's a lightsaber

the people who get board and go running around towns slashing down people for no good reason, your basic darkside fun.

i hope to see the race afect the powers or game play some how

If any other alien races were to be released, I hope that the Kaleesh alien would be an option. (e.g. General Grievous) It seems that if Bioware and Lucasarts both have a new timeline to explore, then they should include multiple species either seen in the KOTOR games or in the movies. But what I'm looking for in particular is the Kaleesh, Neimodian, and or Rakatan. Those races would definitely contribute to improving this game. Any other alien race ideas can help too if either of you guys have any other guesses.

Can he make it rain too?

The Inquisitor attacks look impressive. I'd also like to see an option to change hairstyles in the game.

Here we go, lets implement everything that other MMO's did like Warhammer, and let's watch the only glimmer of hope in the Star Wars universe flop.

are we ever going to hear about playable races or are we jsut going to be stuck as humans like in guild wars? because as racially diverse as star wars is it would be foolish to only allow humans, thats like cutting off your own legs before a race.

I honestly have to agree with slowride on this one, I have been sitting by week after week, disappointed with the content of the fridays. All we are asking is for something better than reposting fan art.

IMO: and remember this is my -opinion-

Fan art and Fanfics that are good should just be stickied for a week or so, not placed in our official updates

And since I plan to buy this game, plan to play it, I would like to know more on a weekly basis. That its not wrong we ask questions, more so its important that we do. We stay on them and keep asking for more information, why.... because we are the ones they have to please to be quite honest.

So, I want to know more things, and if they are going to give out lots of information in bursts then I have to disagree there and say space it out, keep feeding us useful information weekly in small amounts rather than a whole bunch in a month then month after month of nothing.

Slowride so you know the game isnt as far from complete as you are thinking. At GDC (Game Develepor's Confrence) BIOWARE said that they are getting close to a Beta testing stage and that the game could be out by Spring 2011 so dont automatically assume that since THIS is the FAN FRIDAY we are still so far away from seeing any beta. They arent just gonna show us everything they got in one week so the are gonna show small stuff to keep us interested until BETA comes out so dont jump to conclusions about how they arent getting places with game

P.S You are also right however that people need to wait on some of the more interesting things becuase they may not have made any decisions yet.

You know what, you people and I say this with all due respect. Need to stop questioning those who question the content of our so called fan fridays. If some of us are not satisfied with quality and depth of the friday releases too bad. I understand you have your right to your opinion, and that your false hope of a beta test by defending a game and bioware, so full heartedly. Sadly thats what your hope is; false. As much as I do appreciate and love literally every game bioware has produced, the fact this game was announced as early as it was and the bursts of content followed by many fridays of rubbish is incredibly frustrating and disheartening. So I would please appreciate when people ask, nay demand some answers, weather it be the form of race, vehicles, or class that you paladins of bioware find it in your infinite wisdom to let the aforementioned ask questions, because we have no game and we wont have a game for quite some time and the friday content isn't feeding us any usable knowledge, in the end, all we have are questions.

May the force be with you and everybody love everyone

For crying out loud, u people are the equivalent of a kid asking 'are we there yet' all the way to the destination. Give it a rest.

The guy before me is correct. I seem to remember reading that they decided very early that they would put multiple species in game. When I read this I cannot remember, but its a long time ago and then the reason it wasn't released was that they hadn't desided what races should be put in the game. I will not be suprised if we get to see some screenshots or cosept art real soon.

They've already said, if you read and listen to interviews, that there will be other races to choose from.

I was wondering how many planets were the makers of this game going to make? And what kind of creature is my current avatar?

About a baker's dozen or more
