Some of you might have seen this video last year as a promotional video for the up-coming star wars mmorpg, Star Wars: the Old Republic by Bioware. I have little to say about the game because I doubt that I will ever in my life play a mmorpg. I find the concept of having to pay a monthly fee for the privilege of playing a game I’ve already bought to be downright insulting. However I have to say that the cinematic trailer that Bioware made for the game is absolutely awesome, and is (to me at least) the most entertaining thing to come out of the Star Wars universe since Genndy Tartakovsky did the Clone Wars cartoon back in 2003 (not the current one, which is quite inferior, imho), and much better than anything in the prequels.
Well, Bioware just released another cinematic trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. After watching it, all I can say is this: can we just have Bioware make a movie set in the Star Wars universe?
I agree, that first trailer was awesome. I seem to remember that it came out the same week as the Beatles Rockband trailer, which was also phenomenal. And yes, Bioware could do a much better job than Lucas at this point.
