Star Wars: The Old Republic’s New Cinematic Trailer

Categories: PC / Mac | Video's & Trailers

First, let’s get this outta the way: It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’ve been meaning to post more often but, <insert excuse here. That being said, this is the first thing I’ve been really really excited about in such a long time. I’m a huge Star Wars nerd, and when I saw the Cinematic Trailer for the upcoming MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic, I nearly wet myself.

Now to be fair, while I remain excited about this title, it isn’t without a bit of fear. The last Star Wars MMO (Star Wars: Galaxies) was, shall we say, oblitterated by LucasArts, who made so many changes to the game that the original player base (myself included) scoffed and left without looking back.

On top of that, TOR has adopted “Stylized Realism” which will essentially make the graphics significantly cartoonier than its failed predecessor. This is the same approach Blizzard took with World of Warcraft, and is, in my opinion, the reason WoW sold so well. (You don’t need a rig to run the game. You barely need anything at all under the hood to run the game well.) So this “Stylized Realism” could be a help to the game, or a hinderance if hardcore Star Wars fans demand to see some of the breathtaking graphics that SW:G provided.

But none of you care about my rambling. You came to see the epic video.

Here it is! The brand new cinematic trailer entitled: Deceived.
