Star Wars MMO – first thoughts

Star-Wars-Old-Republic

Star Wars: The Old Republic is an upcoming MMO RPG which is being developed by Bioware for the PC. The same people who brought us Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect.

And it’s shaping up to be a real hit – even a World of Warcraft-beater. Watch the epic video after the page break…

I vowed never to touch another Massively Multiplayer Online game (MMO) ever again after spending a year and a half addicted to World of Warcraft.

But Star Wars: The Old Republic looks so damn good it’s going to be difficult to resist!

You can play as a jedi, sith, bounty hounter, smuggler or trooper – with more classes to be announced at a later date.

Details are still scare at the moment with no information on pricing and release dates, but the game will have hundreds of thousands of lines of recorded dialogue. No subtitles – it will make you feel like you’re a real part of the Star Wars universe.

Plus the guys who made Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – the classic Xbox RPG – are making it: Bioware.

It’s going to be nothing short of epic. Think World of Warcraft gameplay, combined with a Star Wars feel and fantastic graphics.

Tell me you’re still not convinced after watching this video…

What do you think of Star Wars: The Old Republic?
