Bioware has published five new screenshots from their highly anticipated MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Follow the link to see the rest of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Screens.

 I like it

I suppose I shouldn't complain too much one way or the other, but I was sorta hoping that SW from bioware might be more "Star" oriented as in .... space.

The graphics are, to me, mediocre at best. But then I'm not dazzled by graphics. Gameplay matters far more to me than flashy graphics.

This looks a bit more "lively" than the usual SW:G worlds, but still, wandering across vast zones of territory battling odd looking creatures wasn't what Star Wars was all about for the most part (Barring Luke's encounter with the snow beast in Empire Strikes Back ;)).

 I'm pleasantly surprised.

Good work BioWare. 

Am I the only one that sees a huge warhammer banner add covering a big chink of the screenshots?

This isn't SW the origional trilogy, it's the old republic. They show a couple of pics of a jedi fighting a Ackley and some think that's all it will be.

If my memory is correct, in SWG i slaughtered more helpless animals than i care to remember. People have to just be calm and realize they will get to the space stuff when it is ready.

They said there is so much more that they haven't showed, than what they have.

loving it! starting to come together really nicely!

Looking good, I personaly like the art style, I wait patiently for the next batch :)

Where are the droids!?

Not really following this game but those screenshots do look great.

I'm becoming excited in my pants. Makes me wanna go mount Kotor2 in daemon tools and play for a bit!

Looking great ! Keep up the good work Bioware!

Oh my goodness, they included screenshots of non-jedi!

Anyway, I still think the art style looks like complete crap and nothing like Star Wars is or should be. /sigh

Sorry if you already know this but the Kotor era of star wars is set hundreds of years before Darth Vader and all that stuff so i think it has a decent excuse for looking different to the 'Star Wars' that many of us know about.

I'm more of a "want to see combat and in-game footage" type of girl, but the screenshots are very nice!

I think the new screenshots are a bit of an improvement over the last few.
Character models look a little better.  Lightsaber / Hand size look a little less cartoony.

cool screenshot

Thank the gods they shrunk the size of the lightsabers.

I like how when you mouseover any shot on MMORPG.com it always says "Earthrise Screenshot" 

The pics are nice, they've gone for the slightly stylized look, personally i prefer extreme photo-realistic but these are good.

I love the art direction -nice to see someone with the balls to take on, a more comic-like direction.

but the chicks need a thighter grip on those pistols! :)

I think its great to see the female characters in full cover armor.  Since playing a lot of fantasy mmo's, a thong, a halter top and thigh high boots counts as full armor.  Not that it's always a bad thing.  But I do hope the game is going to be good, SWG kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

If they don't provide ships and the ability for your avatar to fly in space, this game is DOA before it even starts.

The Star wars genre will help it limp along, but people just do not flock to FPS type rpg's without any other differentiating feature.

Why do you think Tabula Rasa died?

FPS Type RPG?

I didn't know they had announced an FPS combat system? Did I miss that?

Tabula Rasa isn't an FPS...
