E3 2011: Star Wars: The Old Republic Cinematic

Post by darkjedi @ 08:39am 07/06/11 | 17 Comments

It comes as no surprise with E3 arriving, that Bioware & Lucasarts would dish up another spectacular Star Wars: The Old Republic cinematic trailer for the game, this one titled "Return".

Protected by the legendary Jedi Order, the Galactic Republic stood as a bastion of peace in the galaxy for a thousand generations. Several centuries ago, the greatest threat the galaxy has ever known emerged in the form of the dark Sith Empire. After a volatile war, the Republic emerged victorious and the Sith were assumed to be extinct. Nonetheless, the Jedi have maintained a constant vigil over the ancient Sith homeworld, to protect the galaxy from the darkness that still resides in the planet’s tombs.

You can download the trailer now locally from AusGamers to watch it in its full glory - the streaming version is below (HD coming soon)! promoted/edited forum item

Cheers trog. No idea why it broke, I blame Lucas.

I really doubt turning these things into feature films would work out well. It's easy to throw concentrated awesome into 3 minutes, but take that and make a film out of it? A lot harder. It'd be awesome though.

Was a pretty fancy trailer, the "oh no the sith empire has returned" moment was a bit weak imo. :P

Awesome video, but it doesn't give me any hope for the game.

Yea same Midda, at the end of it I was thinking maybe Star Wars should just stay in the cinema.

So I'm suppose to put down my own money to have a opinion on the quality? I thought thats what gameplay trailers are suppose to be, a taste of what is to come? I've seen gameplay, I watched a 3 hour demo, it's not my thing, and it looks terrible in my opinion.
