Trailers: Star Wars: The Old Republic - Join the Fight

They have realised that no-one is going to play Imperial Agent, right? Genuinely no-one.

The assassin/rogue/sniper class? Are you serious?

The class that lacks the fanboy cool factor of having access to the force or 'ZOMG I can be Boba Fett!'. Yes, I'm serious.

On the republic side, some people might play trooper after Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series made them cool, or maybe as a result of Republic Commando/some of Karen Traviss' books. But again, they don't have access to the force, and they're not Han Solo, so that role'll be kinda empty too.

Are the Bounty Hunters actually evil or can they be good as well? Just because I like to accept a contract for lots of money doesn't mean I want to be Sith. Would prefer to work for the Jedi.

Republic trooper may be a little short-staffed, too.

seriously? back-stabby, snipering, etc? it won't be my first choice, but it'll still rock

besides, they're the only class where you can be a Chiss! The lovable, blue, antisocial techocrats! SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE FACE! hehehe

The game looks awesome, but the voice acting is a tad iffy, and I'm not so sure about the animation style. :S I really hope that it's good though.

The animations in the trailers never looks good. If you look at the camera movement when its moving across the soldiers you can see how stuttery it is, so I assume its because of that the animations always look quite poor. If you watch regular gameplay, they're very smooth. Most are mo-capped I believe.

Gonna have play Imperial for the British accents
I think I'll have to play a Light sided Sith warrior it's a really interesting character, a lot more interesting than a pure stupid side cough* I mean pure dark side.

Can you do this? i thought if u picked like a jedi, then your quests/ story line or whatever is just about u been super nice to everyone

Yeah I was in a test for the game, you might be on the republic side or the Sith side but there are both light and dark choices on both sides. I was a Sith warrior but i decided to take the more light sided options on quests and be respectful, loyal and would avoid bloodshed instead of being destructive, disobedient, sadistic and murderous.

It was kinda funny playing a light sided Sith when I encountered Jedi. They always wanted to fight me and I would just say I didn't. They would always get kinda confused, not sure if they were allow to attack me and spent several minutes trying to figure out if they should.

Silly jedi with their Non-aggression self-defense code. xD

What is up with the Imperial grunt bucket helmets? I can already see them derisively being called "bucket heads" by Republic forces, as in, "We were pinned down by some bucket heads when the Jedi charged in and ..."

I was going to play as Imperial Agent since they announced the class

I trust Bioware in terms of making a game with good gameplay and story, but I'm not sure if I trust them as much when it comes to multiplayer balance. It's not exactly a field they have had excessive experience in, but I'm hoping they brought in the right people for the job.

 

[SyphonX]

I'll probably play at least 1 class on each side, due to the fact that there is a story for each class, for each side, with multiple branches.

Well, that also depends on whether or not the stories are interesting. IF DA2 is any indication, then no, they won't be. However, if every other Bioware game aside from DA2 is an indication, then yes, they will be interesting.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one, what with this being the internet n all, but did anyone else see that as being boring and really dated? I mean, it only looked a little more flashy than KoToR 1 for heaven's sake; was that really the best they could do with the visuals, effects and animations? Is that really meant to be current-generation graphics? I swear Anarchy Online looked like that, lol.

Also, no matter how flashy the combat looked, you know it's just going to be 'click on guy', 'click on ability', 'wait for cooldown', 'click on ability again'. Kinda takes much of the fun out of it for me...

You're exaggerating just a bit, but yea it doesn't have the most amazing visuals, or physics, etc. EA has already stated they wish it to be more accessible, performance-wise to a large audience, taking the World of Warcraft approach where even your grandmother's solitaire PC can play it. That's also exaggerated though... clearly you need at least a somewhat dedicated gaming rig to play this.

Agents do that cool orbital laser bombing thing. But im goin inquisitor and so is 60% of my guild.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Anyone else notice that the Jedi Knight is voiced by...

GEORGE 'FUCKING SEPHIROTH' NEWBERN!?!?!?!?

Best game ever.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

That trailer really made me think of the Starship Troopers movie.

Would you like to know more? Service guarantees citizenship!

Not true, I responded to this over the fan group but I'll reply here as well.

The male Jedi Knight voice is provided by David Hayter, AKA, the voice of Solid Snake.

As a Sephiroth fan, that makes me sad.

At the same time however, I am in love with Big Boss. So...this is better than Newbern!

 

[AlwaystheUnlucky]

My complaint is why the bounty hunter absolutely has to be on the evil side. Most of them only ever team up with the sith because they're paid to fight for the sith. But then again, I have absolutely no knowledge of the game and thus making assumptions based off the trailer.
