The Old Republic Gameplay Compilation

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Over at Gametrailers.com, xxHIMxx, has put together a lot of information thats been seen from E3 and past events and created a feature gameplay movie. Admittely it’s not juicy gameplay footage, however it’s still one of the best Old republic videos I’ve seen so far (of actual ingame footage).

The video gives a great feel for the unique art style they seen to have given the game as well as the character models and animations. I wasn’t sure when I first saw the direction they were taking with the characters art style, but I think I’m starting to grow fond of it as I see more video footage.

Again, props to xxHIMxx for this contribution.

Smuggler Class Announced

Saturday, June 13th, 2009
Hey, it's me!

Hey, it's me!

Bioware have officially announced the coolest of all the republic classes; the Smuggler. (Of course!)

These guys will essentially be the rogues of the Old Republic, and it seems like the general theme of this class is that they are light on their feet and second to none with a pistol.

Although the press release doesn’t mention it, it has also been rumoured that they can do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, which is a pretty mean feat for anyone.

The Old Republic E3 Coverage and Latest News

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

E3 is here, and so is EA.

Just in case you turned off the EA E3 presentation when Charm Girls Club – Pajama Party was announced (like many people accross the world), representatives from Bioware and LucasArts came out dressed like Jedis!  This was – of course – to give us a teaser of Star Wars Old Republic!

Hold on to your potatoes!

In case this wasn’t enough, they announced a few other details about the game, such as the game will be the first ‘Fully Voiced’ MMO.

Another interesting point was that each class will have it’s own unique story that will lead you on your way through the game, this will mean that ‘your game play experience will be completely different’ with each class.
