This is what the prequels should have been. Get Bioware working on 7 through 9!

Yes, because when you want to hype an MMO, you want to show gameplay in an empty world.

And especially when you want to hype a new MMO, you'd rather show a Jedi swinging a lightsaber at a Tauntaun, hitting it for 20 damage per swing, and taking 5 mins to kill.

Obviously thats much better than showing a trailer made to make the game look like it will be every Star Wars fan's wet dream...

Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure that one trailer was better than all of the fights in the prequels.

Hey, I said prequels. Clone Wars (the one from the Samurai Jack/Powerpuff Girls/ Dexter's Lab creator) was its own special thing which I refuse to associate with those abominations.

Step 1: Hostile takeover of LucasFilms.

Step 2: Kick George Lucas out on his ass.

Step 3: Hand the keys to BioWare.

Step 4: Episodes 1-3 reboot.

Well, we must first gather the Star Wars fandom, the ones who will truly admit that the story in Knights of the Old Republic was superior to the prequels, then, TO NERD-WAR! Which will conceive of everyone fighting with their plastic lightsabers.

I speak on behalf of the Star Wars fandom when I say, KOTOR was way better than any of the prequels and BioWare pwns the holy hell out of LucasArts.

And all Star Wars fans who disagree with me are heathens.

Also, I will admit that I met my boyfriend through a Star Wars fan club messageboard. That's right: I used Star Wars to get laid.

(YES, IT IS POSSIBLE.)

Awesome cinematic, now if the game just played like that... I wonder if it would come close if it was a single player game...

If you look at the Bounty Hunter section of the Old Republic site, it describes and shows little animations of stuff like the bounty hunters jetpacking up into the air and using wrist-mounted flamethrowers. So the cinematic was definitely working from concepts already in the game.

Agreed about the trailer vs. the actual game. I'm having a Force vision of fetch quests and grinding, which isn't the epic-ness that this trailer hopes to convey.

If this is at all representative of the in-game style, then it looks like they've dropped the ridiculous body proportions we were seeing earlier.

Nice little cinema there. I really loved the KotOR games (even the woefully rushed and incomplete sequel) and this just makes me wish they'd do another sequel as opposed to an MMO. I've tried getting into several MMO's and found that, personally, I just get no sense of satisfaction from the mechanics of the genre. I also think that the genre doesn't lend itself well to storytelling which has been my favorite aspect of the KotOR games.
I'd like for the game to be great but I just have a feeling it won't be for me.

Let me start by saying that Star Wars is George Lucas' story. I'm all for extending the story via other writers, but it is first and foremost his and he wanted to make the prequels and he had the resources to do so. If you for one second think that he had no right to do that then you sorely lack an understanding for the creative process. If you don't like them, fine, just don't watch them. I for one think that, when watching from episode I to VI, the prequels do a very good job at setting up originals (why Luke and Obi-wan were on Tatooine, why Leia was a princess of a distant planet, how much of a Jedi Master Yoda actually is, Darth Vader's summon role-reversal at the end of Return of the Jedi, etc).

As for the trailer, I think with this style this game would make a frakking awesome movie or action game. The Jedi vs Sith battle totally gives the fights in Revenge of the Sith a run for its money. A lot of the balancing mechanics required from MMOs will totally ruin the essence that this game could have. This is what The Force Unleashed should have been.

Uhh... This is what Force Unleashed was. Force Unleashed was an awesome game and delivered well beyond the prequels. It felt full, fresh, and frantic. Sure it wasn't 700 jedi's having a melee circle, but that doesn't fit the time frame of the story. The time frames fits that here.

If you're jaded about the prequels and Force Unleashed, I don't think anything Star Wars will ever satisfy you. Cling to your "I'm a true fan" beliefs in quiet, there are already too many people out there hating on it for being mainstream. The "it's cool to hate because it's not the originals" is getting beyond annoying now.

Actually I loved the prequels just as much as the originals, and beyond some frustration in difficulty with the demo (which is why I didn't pick up the actual game), I thought The Force Unleashed seemed rather well done. All I meant to say that a game that intended to showcase a Force user kicking ass, forgetting names, would've been in the Old Republic era.

I've never had a problem with the prequels either. I mean, there are obvious directing problems (like the "love has blinded you" crap from Ep III), but the stories were sound, the action was great, and the characters were compelling

i think shes supposed to be an example of a partner that you can have in the game itself, but who knows maybe he just loves having a twi'lek by his side *wink wink*
