Old Republic E3 Trailer

Yeah, it's a cinematic trailer that's likely not representative of gameplay, but still awesome to watch.

Here's hoping this is more than the next Age of Conan.
Yeah, but there are plenty of people who only stay in this forum and don't look there.
I'd be amazed if it wasn't $15 a month.
Did this change recently?
It can save you money depending on your playstyle. A good MMO can take up enough of your playtime that you don't need other games, and spending $15 for a month of MMO is a lot cheaper than $40-50 for a game that lasts two weeks then you need another.
Doesn't help if you're one of those who needs everything on launch day, but I'm the kind that if it wasn't for cheapo Steam sales, would have probably a quarter of the game purchases over the past few years. A good $20 game can keep me busy for 4 months.
Edit: As far as I know there's been nothing official or on record as to how this will cost.
*nerd joy*
They said they were considering microtransactions. As far as I know, they still have not announced the business model and/or subscription cost.
Even though it uses music from that trilogy some.
I still probably won't buy the game because I'm off MMOs, but that was the sickest trailer I've seen in a long time.
Riccitiello called it "microtransaction-based", but did not explicitly say the game would be free-to-play.
They quickly backtracked from that though. Check the update on that very page:
The MMO needless to say won't be as kick ass as that trailer but come on, none of them ever are, that's easy to know. The CGI look and the actual in game design are two very different things, just go look at the screen shots to see that.
I'd love to play this but the whole thing with the possible micro transaction is a game killer for me, I will not support any such MMO one single bit. One only needs to look at how Asian MMO's go with micro transactions to realize what a true money sink that is and we're not talking virtual money but the real deal.
Did you not play the older KOTOR games?
Online, obviously. ;P
Personally, I'm of the opinion that Jedi and Sith NEED to do crazy ninja shit if you want me to believe that they are in any way viable in the face of guns of the future.
Bioware claims TOR is going to be KOTOR 3, 4, 5, etc etc.
What this means is you're never going to get it. Where MMOs tread, single player continuations die. You need only look upon WoW to know this is true.

The jedi/sith were wearing armour under their robes.
I'd forgotten to mention this. I also really liked that touch. Light armor makes a whole lot more sense given that there's a galactic bloody war going on.

Yeah.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
Why climb a mountain?
It appears to be clear that lucasarts is actually interested in reworking these IP's so they don't horribly suck. That being said I need another MMO like I need my hand chopped off. I really don't have time for MMO's anymore
Why do people care about books and movies and television shows?
I thought the exact same thing.

Man, you're complaining about this here too? $15 dollars really isn't bad. Imagine how long you play a game that costs $60. I guarantee you'll get more time out of an MMO.
It's in the same place that all the cut content from KOTOR2 ended up.
It gets them excited of course, look at most of the E3 unveils, how many of them are actually of in game graphics and how many are trailers or all orchestrated in a certain way.
