regardless of all the nay sayers, i definitely am going to at least try TOR, it looks like an MMO i might not mind paying for..at least for a few months.

I think this video came out last week, actually. Hm. Not so much a trailer though, just the customary little re-cap video they do after every fan event. I'm still looking forward to release, hoping to get into testing, etc.

I'm expecting some unwarranted antagonism in the comments below me... to all of you: I respectfully disagree.

More importantly; where is that trailer showing that cool dual-wielding Jedi and that Smuggler? Because I want that right bloody now.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Looks alright, still on the fence about it. Not really much to say about this video. There was little snippets of gameplay in there at least.

 

[Jonci]

Hey, a Felicia Day cameo there.
Also, conversation trees in an MMO. Intrigued.

This one?

Well I'm glad to see that the demo game didn't disappoint them. Still I only interested in the game once the full spec is reveal.

Seriously, right? Good to see that first impressions are positive, but just tell me when it's finished and I'll have a look then.

That was just...just... *weeps at it's glory* For the love of the gods, someone get LucasArts, Blur Studios and BioWare working together to make the most awesome Star Wars movie to date. Good gods that trailer is better than the 3 new movies combined!

Oh eh, yeah, the game. Well I hope it'll be good enough to be my new MMO.

Wow, EA are really trying to grab Activision's thrones this year. Battlefield 3 to take on CoD and TOR to take on WoW. I actually think they're in with a fighting chance.

 

[mentalkitty789]

The game seems interesting. Honestly I've heard plenty of people bitching it is going to be a WoW clone, I don't really care. So long as it has a damn interesting story, I'll be happy. Of course an interesting story won't keep my playing forever, but still it will keep me on the game for at least a few months.
I hope this game turns out well, and people start giving a damn about story in their mmos.

While we're at it, let's toss out all three, in chronological order:

"Return" [Opening Cinematic, E3 2011] [http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/return]
"Hope" [E3 2010] [http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/hope-cinematic-trailer]
"Deceived" [E3 2009] [http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/deceived-cinematic-trailer]

Also Hillary and Jessica from Crabcats [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scsde3vLg4Y]. Any other recognizable faces?

Blur is moving towards doing actual features. They've apparently been working on an adaptation of The Goon that's intended as a full feature. If they're able to expand into bigger formats like that (and/or if TOR and other new Star Wars properties do well enough) it's not impossible. I'd love to see it. The only thing I'd worry about is meddling from the higher-ups. When it's just a game cinematic and all the creative control is between Blur and BioWare, it's easier for them to make it cool and appealing. Once there's a movie budget in the equation and a lot of LucasArts involvement, it's not as easy to maintain that control.

To the people that say we're a WoW clone, all I have to say is: reserve that judgment until you've tried it. It's more unique than it appears, particularly where the quests are concerned.

Also, for what it's worth, I generally loathe playing any game that I've worked on but I actually enjoy playing this.

Take that however you please. =)

Nice, what do you do at the studio?

1:36 - my god, Darth Maul has stumbled into the prop collection from Tron.

Also, he stood in line 4 times? I mean I understand, it's just I think I would never be able to survive that. I stood in line for the first-ever Diablo 3 beta and I would never have thought about doing it again no matter the game quality.

 

[TimeLord75]

RELEASE THE GODDAMN THING ALREADY!!! *sheesh* Also, I'd love to see some info on what the subscription plans will be. I doubt there'll be any sort of "lifetime sub" offering, but if there is, I'm SO there. I feel for my wife; she may never have any sort of meaningful interaction with me again.
