Hope: the new SWTOR trailer
Today saw the launch of the second cinematic trailer, and like the first it’s a tasty piece of art. Hell, it’s more than that, it’s a piece that evokes the same level of excitement that the movie releases did for me – it’s a tight, dramatic 5 minutes that further tweaks the excitement levels. Plus [...]
New SWTOR cinematic trailer: preview
Thanks to the Jedi Archives Online, the sneak preview of the cinematic trailer launching at E3 in a few days, is available for your viewing pleasure. As you’ll see below, not surprisingly there’s not much given away but it certainly provides a taste of what we can expect. There’s already a huge discussion thread running [...]
SWTOR Machinima and AC/DC
One of the things I’m most looking forward to with SWTOR is the community created content, particularly machinima creations. One such creation is Spoiling for a Fight by SWTOR forums member XaarDun.

Torment Gaming are actively trying to put together some guilds for SWTOR, and they’ve gone to quite a bit of trouble to tell you. Once more gameplay footage is released by BioWare, expect a lot more of these to show up: Torment SWTOR Teaser #1 from The Darkside on Vimeo.
Voice as immersion: more information
BioWare and LucasArts have released a short piece in how voice is being used in SWTOR to increase the immersion of players. There’s some interesting shots of the game action itself interpersed between comments from developers. I have to admit that the gameplay shots have taken me aback a little – particularly the avatar close-ups. [...]
