Star Wars: The Old Republic

BioWare has just released Dragon Age: Origins... Mass Effect 2 is on the horizon... but there's a third game in development at the RPG mega-studio and it is none other than Star Wars: The Old Republic, the company's foray into the MMORPG genre. X-Play's Matt Keil recently got to check out the game's final two classes, the Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor, and was kind enough to write-up his impressions:

"While the Jedi Knight is patterned after characters like Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Consular is more of a Qui-Gon Jin or Yoda type of Jedi. Whereas the Knight is melee oriented, the Consular is much more focused on Force abilities and will play a support class role more easily. However, unlike previous game incarnations of the Consular, The Old Republic version will be able to function as an offensive character as well as a healer and controller."

    @gauntletoffaith - yeah... this is Bioware we're talking about. They are going to do this right, and I, for one, can't wait for the day to finally roll around when I can play it.

    What i mean by the game sounding like Guild wars is that, in the game description it says, \"Together, you will battle enemies in dynamic Star Wars combat and team up with other players to overcome incredible challenges.\"

    Which I take to mean that you will solo around for a little bit like in Guild wars, then have to find a party to do some random battle thing, then your world will change (ie that planet was destroyed) then you will solo around some more....rinse and repeat... While some people will like doing that i found it incredibly boring in guild wars.

    Yo, wtf is up withe the read full preview button? it just takes me to the homepage...?..

    P.S. i really hope that SWTOR doesn't end up being \"Star Guild Wars the Old Republic\" Because if you read the description of the game that is EXACTLY what it sounds like. I would much rather have an original game or \"Star WoW the Old Republic\"

    I'm with ya there. Actually I like support as long as I get at least a little bit of offense.
