The long awaited demo walkthrough video for Star Wars: The Old Republic is now live! The video can be seen over at IGN.

Get a close-up look at the Bounty Hunter and Smuggler on the worlds of Hutta and Ord Mantell. Jump to the Sith home-world of Korriban and meet the Sith Warrior class. Be transported aboard an Imperial transport ship to see the Bounty Hunter and Sith Warrior decide the fate of the captain and crew aboard the Black Talon.

The demo, which contains over 20 minutes of in-game footage is split up into four. The first part can be found here, the second, here, the third, here, and the fourth, here.

Man, I am really stoked after watching these videos. If you haven't seen them, go now!

Pretty cool. Towards the end I wanted it to keep going. And to think this is with the first few levels of the game.

Oh

Mah

Gawd!

I think I just wet myself.....

Talk about total StarWars / MMO porn. 

Don't say the "i" word! Just kidding...

Anyways, the voiceacting and cutscenes look compelling, though I'm not sold on the combat. Fighting seems pretty vanilla and very easy so far. Granted, there is still months...if not a year or two before release, so I'll put that on the back burner as a minor concern. It looks like the perfect game for 1 or 2 people to play together, but from what they've shown so far, they are taking the MM out of the ORPG, which is a logical step in the current evolution of this genre...I just can't say I'm thrilled about it. But until technology catches up with imagination, this is likely what we'll be seeing more of going forward.

That was frickin EPIC. There is no other game in development that I want as much as this game. This is history in the making for interactive entertainment as a whole.

This is like Knights of the Old Republic with Co-op play, writ large.

I am ok with that. Looks like it could be fun

Combat does look very run-of-the-mill though. Mostly just watching cool visuals with minimal input. Anything can get boring if you watch it enough times.

I'll likely give this game a try though....My and the Wife can final play co-op together without one of us feeling like a tag-along nobody.

Amazing......

The only thing I did not care for was the cover system.  Everything else seemed pretty good!

I only have one thing to say....

can i have it now please.....pretty please?

Remember all the fights where Luke and Han and Chewie took multiple blaster hits and still beat their enemies? Neither do I.

LOL. Guess so.

It was before the original release then, since I saw SW in '77

When I watched the new WoW xpac videos earlier, I thought meh... when I watched these I shouted "Holy Crap... dual wielding Lightsabers!!".

Can't wait.

That always bugged me about the original KOTOR game.  Oh well, I got over it then, I'll get over it now.

Game looks fantastic so far.  And to think, that was only level 5 and 10.  Those skills looked better than some level 40+ effects in other games.

To this day I'll never forgive my mother for this evil crime... she took me shoe shopping before the movie and we didn't get there until Luke and Obiwan found the destroyed Jawa transport... I watched the second half first then stayed for the next showing to see the first bit again...  I'm scarred for life.

I sympathize. I don't know which is worse - seeing it out of order like that, or being dragged to go shoe shopping.

Man, I can still remember being blown away just by the ads for the movie. Wow, what an experience. It was written for 10-year-olds, but I still love the film.

I still have a lot of questions, like does every BH have the same VO, or what is end game going to be like. 

Either way, I know I will not be disappointed in spending $50 for this.  It will be fun, I'm sure of that, just a little wary of how long that fun will last.

Let's not forget the history of WoW, it really had no end game to begin with.  Ony, MC, BWL all were not in WoW when it released.  Hell UBRS/LBRS use to be 15man, Scholo and Strat were 10man.

A perfect addition to the star wars family of games. It kinda looks like it might play out like guild wars, and there is nothing wrong with that. The story building seemed pretty damn innovative to me. Seeing them pull out 3 new systems not seen in another mmo yet shows me that they care to bring us something new on the table. Ya the combat might look pretty basic, but I bet it will open up down the road. What I was pleased with in the combat is that there is different moves for different tasks. Ie. stun, crowd control, melee, close combat, ranged. That makes it a whole hell lot better than say a fantasy mmo that has ranged attack 1, 2, 3, super shot, or something similar. At least they allow you to play roles and that alone should make you feel that your battles do matter.

I can't wait.
