The Old Republic Trailer

The intention of this blog is to focus on news about my collecting adventures, but every now and then I'l be making an exception to this rule. This is one of those times. I'm not sure how many of you have seen the trailer for Lucasart and Bioware's new MMO game Star Wars: The Old Republic, but if you haven't then you should. Now.


I'm wary of hyping something that is so far away from production (we all remember the disappointment surrounding the long-awaited The Force Unleashed, dubbed "Episode 3.5" by numerous over-keen gaming executives) but from what is shown here the game looks, well, incredible.

Granted it's only a theatrical trailer, and from what I've seen of pre-production footage so far the actual gameplay and graphics looks merely like an updated version of Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 (Lucasarts and Bioware's last Star Wars collaboration). But lets be honest, even an MMO KotR would be a truly fantastic thing. Sith knows we need a good Star Wars MMO now Sony have reduced Star Wars: Galaxies to a shadow of its former self.
