Gamereactor DK has just released (leaked?) the new, E3 2010 cinematic trailer "Hope" for the upcomming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The site is in danish
Fansite Q&A with the makers of SWTOR confirms achievements are in the game.
Wonder if it will have one of those achievements like in FFXI where you have to level every class to max level. Granted, it seems it will be a lot easier in TOR, it would still be insane. ;)
While I'm not big on achievements one way or the other, it's always nice to have extra features that in no way hinder the game.
This week Samm, JJ, K-pants, and Tom cover a large variety of topics. Everything from SWTOR Fan Friday to Pokemon MMOs. JJ survives the plague, K-pants falls in love with pink women, Tom's going to the place with the padded walls, and Samm is as cuddly as a Panda. All this and so much more: Discussion of the week, Hot Topics, Mailbag, Ask Jeffery, This week in TOR, and that’s not even everything.
Charles Onyett of IGN writes; "Every time I quit an MMO, it's usually for the same reason. The sense of context eventually breaks down; I feel like I'm scraping items off dead enemies for no reason, trapped in some insane machine, doomed to repeat assembly line behavior until I achieve some virtual goal that lets me do it again, only more efficiently. Such progression mechanics are at the core of any MMO, which I know full well going in. But with a good story, I'm able to push aside the monotony. I'm no longer killing 600 elite skeletons to gain experience, I'm killing 600 elite skeletons because I know it'll get me one step close to throwing a fireball at the super elite skeleton, and that guy is a total jerk."
Regardless of the fact, TOR still going to be called "WoW in space w/ voice acting" despite the fact that practically everyone who's played the beta has said it's different.
even though it was CGI it was still very cool.
Okay, nevermind. Spoiler.
(Yes, its that cool)
Alot of CGI nowadays make me crave for an awesome CGI movie based on something like Mass Effect or Assassins Creed.
Edit:
Just watched. This is really good
im not sure what the point of this type of presentation is anyway. When the game comes out it will look and play NOTHING like that trailer so why false advertise?
I think Blur studios should do a full length movie.
