Star Wars: The Old Republic (beta signups)

[Hamma]

nice.

Remember our friend Dallas Dickenson? One of the later lead devs of PlanetSide.

[Firefly]

Yeah. He's on my FB page, as is Victor "Sporkfire" Wachter. A lot of EA guys are, actually.

[Ghryphen]

Same here

Can't say I'm a fan of the art direction entirely. Some of the ways characters hold weapons in particular just looks horrible.

Nevertheless I did sign up. Who knows?

^ Likewise, this is the first title I think bioware has ever played a hand in that I have lost interest in...

I know that its not entirely their fault of course, Lucasarts is known for being petty in their defiance in any deals and they will probably not allow them to change the entirety of the art direction out of fear of it contrasting with their dogmatic "vision" of what all sw games nowadays should be like... *Cough* ugly night stick toy lightsabers *cough*

At any rate maybe one day LA will pull its head out of its a$$ then maybe I would be interested again in this but till then I think I'll just wait it out for PS2 and/or GW2.

At the very least from this game I expect a solid single player, and cooperative month as you burn through quests and the like.

After that I hope they have some decent territory control PvP
