One of the most anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game is Bioware’s The Old Republic MMO which will reunite the creators of the award winning Knights of the Old Republic with the Lucasfilm family once more. This was the worst kept secret as Sony’s exclusivity rights were expiring on a Star Wars MMO, and Bioware was fast at work on a secret MMO project.
Now they have a production blog and the first installment of the Video Doc is online! Click here to watch it
The Old Republic production blog:
BioWare® and LucasArts™ share the vision for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ in our first video documentary, complete with new concepts, new screenshots, and real-time pre-production gameplay video.
The footage looks good, and it looks like they are taking a solid approach to the franchise. I like that they showed so much of the Jedi, but I hope that you have some alternatives to force using classes or at least have some variety in force using types.
It does look like you will have the chance to be a dark Jedi if you wish. It is kind of unique that everyone will start the same, and your faction is chosen by your actions.
I look forward to seeing more about this.
White Knight will be better than this game, mark my words.
I really enjoyed KOTOR and KOTOR even though it wasn’t as good as the original but I don’t have the time to play MMO’s anymore. I will stick with their Mass Effect games for now.
Aptly named FOOL. MMO’s are not for children. In fact the Terms of Service of most of these types of games require you to be over 18 (though teens play it as well)
You clearly know nothing about MMO’s
It’s for children, freakin’ kids, little blokes…
Oh great, now I’m going to start Massively Morbidly Overdosing on Star Wars again!
Oh yeah, if you’ve played Bioware’s Mass Effect, it’s one the best Sci-Fi RPG’s ever made. So combine their skills with Stars Wars brand and MMO? That’s definitely a life sucker type of game.

Ya, can’t wait for this one either. Bioware has yet to make a bad game and as good as KOTOR was I don’t think there streak is going to end with this one either. So far the only thing that bothers me is that the lightsabers look, well, kind of oversized comepaired to the characters weilding them and not very datailed. Kind of like Lego lightsabers. Hope they’ll fix that some before the launch date.
I already play WoW allot, the new Death Knight class is just freaking awesome to play. And I try to pull myself away from WoW now and then to play some free MMO’s that are pretty good also, but don’t get to often. Also WoW is the only MMO I’ve payed a monthly fee to play for a long time now. But The Old Republic just might be the game to change all that.
The Star Wars galaxies game has sucked ass for many years now, some say ever since it came out. I’m supprised that game is even still going really. I’ve been waiting for someone to finally make a good Star Wars MMO ever since. Poor Sony’s contract FINALLY ran out. Which is why I was so damn happy to hear about this game a month back AND that it’s being made by Bioware!? And it’s taking place in the Old republic story line…? FUCK YA!
If this game does turn out as awesome as I’m thinkin’ it will, I hope to see some of you guys there. ;)
I’m afraid this game will take away my life. I purposely didn’t play WoW so I wouldn’t lose my life away to it. But this may be too good to pass up. Bioware made Knights of The Old Republic RPG, which I contend is the best Star Wars story since the original trilogy.
