You are just a tad late

-Letting Derek Smart work on your game is like letting Osama bin Laden work in the White House. Something will burn.-
-And on the 8th day, man created God.-
Muhahaha.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
The best trailer in the history of mmos.
Nothing is as old as yesterdays news, huh?
But seriously, given this is a free site even Szark deserves a holiday. ( At least here Monday was a holiday.) ^^

saw it day before...i had to wash my underwear afterwards...
For someone who's NOT a Star Wars geek, can someone explain what I just watched?
I didn't think it was all that great of a trailer. It was alright. I was actually hoping to see some actual gameplay at the EA conference at E3, but no such luck. The bounty hunter looks pretty great in the video though. I hope that carries over to actual gameplay. I like the fact that it is all voice overs. Creates a great immersion, IMO.
Wow, that was really good.
I particulary liked the bounty hunter, maybe I should reconsider the class I want to play, was planning smuggler but bounty hunters are really cool too.
The Jedi got their behinds kicked, again.
I love it when all the Sith lightsabers light up! And that has to be one dizzy bounty hunter lol.
This is just the beginning! More to follow tomorrow! I assume it will answer a lot of the top questions about how the game works with Story arcs. You will get to see 20-30min of a 2-3 quest in the game.

Excuse me, but what does this have to do with the game? Trailers usually show some game footage, this had none.
Basically the game is not far advanced enough to use in game footage, so all we get is some bling with no substance.
All I can say is come back when you have some actual game footage. While the movie was well done, it has absolutely zero revalence to the game we are interested in!
It has relevance as it has story, characters, and lore that will most likely deal with TOR as a whole. cinematic trailers have as much weight as do gameplay trailers. If all games only did gameplay trailers, it wouldn't do well to get the excitement over the story, just the action. And Bioware is known for their well written, well executed stories.
I'd say do not judge this trailer, as that is EXACTLY what it is, just of a different breed, on the fact it shows no gameplay. It shows story, it shows interaction, and it shows off some of the badass characters as well as over all look of TOR.
Phew... ok short version: There is a Republic, whose guardians are the Jedi, those guys living in the temple. The planet is the capital world of the Republic, Coruscant. The attackers are Sith, leaders of the evil Empire, who by now has conquered 1/2 of the Galaxy, formerly all under Republic control. Since the Sith know the Jedi are their main obstacle in conquering the Republic, the strike at them with all they have. They have opposite philosophies and generation old grudges against each others.

I really hope it will succeed where SWG failed (almost had it at launch tho, why o why did they change their course) ....

Woot!
Thanks for the info!
I have a feeling LA's secret game will be Battlefront III. I've seen a trailer on youtube that wasn't supposed to be released and the game looks like it's almost finished, it just fell through for some unexplained reason.
I Reject your Reality and Substitute it with My Own!
Dude this trailer was amazing! best cinematics of a game I've ever seen, period.
Keep in mind this is not a demo or a preview, but rather a cinematic trailer, no gameplay.
Forget the Clone Wars cartoon animators, hire these guys to take over and make some decent Star Wars TV shows.
I can NOT wait for this game.

^This.
A trailer that uses NO gameplay footage is a joke, which is exactly what this one is.
Hm, anyone read the title: Cinematic?

Necro much?
If it claimed to be gameplay footage I'd agree...but it doesn't.
It's a cinematic that sets the mood and story for the game. Guess what? Developers have been doing this FOREVAH.
