It seems that nearly every time BioWare trots out its ambitious upcoming Star Wars MMO The Old Republic, it's accompanied by a new metric that highlights its immense scale -- at the initial reveal, it was said to be the equivalent of numerous full-length single-player BioWare games, and at this year's E3 it was announced that it would be the first fully-voiced MMO.
But BioWare founding partners (and licensed medical practitioners) Dr. Greg Zeschuk and Dr. Ray Muzyka are taking the challenge in stride, at least publicly, pointing out that the company has experience both with LucasArts and the Star Wars license as well as with large-scale RPGs and immense voice recording projects.
Gamasutra sat down with Zeschuk and Muzyka to discuss that cross-publisher relationship, the scale and scope of The Old Republic, and why it's not worth worrying too much about the competition.
Plus, as Zeschuk puts it, "If you're betting on Jedi versus orcs, that's a good bet."
