Star Wars: The Old Republic : Hands-On Preview

Posted Dec 03, 2009 by Jon Wood

MMORPG.com's Dana Massey had the chance recently to get some hands-on time with the upcoming MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic. In this report, he discusses the two newly revealed classes and gives his impressions of the game.

Last month, LucasArts and Bioware showed off the final two classes to be added to Star Wars: The Old Republic during a demonstration in San Francisco. There, we had the chance to get hands-on with the Sith Inquisitor, take a good long look at the Jedi Consular and talk to the team that put them together.

"[We wanted to] make sure we fulfill the fantasy first," they told us during a presentation on a massive movie screen inside the LucasArts compound. Many MMOs take the basic RPG roles that a game needs and designs classes that fit those roles. With Star Wars, the team felt it important to deliver that authentic Star Wars experience first. While they made sure everyone has a role to play, they didn't want to be trapped by MMO archetypes and miss something Star Wars fans really wanted.
