Star Wars: The Old Republic

[FrangaR33]

Another game being showcased at E3 this year is The Old Republic, A MMO based in the Star Wars universe at the time of the Old Republic. To those of you who have played KOTOR it will seem quite familiar, the game takes places sometime after the events of KOTOR 2, I hear rumours of an appearence by Revan but we shall see. What really excites me about this game other than its being developed by Bioware (who only seem to make awesome games) is the fact that for the first time in a MMO you will have companions, many companions KOTOR style. Your actions influence their perception of you and whether they stay with you or not and whether or not you get more companions in your journey. Needless to say its going to be awesome!

Without further adue here's the trailer from E3 2010

*Thumbs up* I'm pleased to see Bioware focus on MP instead of just epic story too! PVP too...

Well done EA, you managed to ruin the pre-order launch of one of the most anticipated games ever.

CE at Amazon was gone within hours and no one else got a chance to get it, if you are on Origin and you are in Australia TOR doesn't even exist.

imad? You f**king bet I'm mad.

[DivHunter]

Seriously, my nerd rage knows no bounds right now.

[kessian]

It will be interesting to see how long after the release in US how long it will take to get to AUS, my bet is a while...

[DivHunter]

Crisis was averted, I have ordered from Amazon and have entered my early access key.
