Space Combat in SWTOR: a glimpse
It’s been the hot point of discussion over the past month or two in SWTOR circles, and things are about to get much hotter. Bioware have released a trailer of the space combat component of SWTOR. As you’ll see in the trailer below, it’s looking like a mighty nice aspect of the game, particularly given [...]
Sith Sunday – SWTOR in the news
1. From the official SWTOR site: the Mandalorian Wars get a lore update, and new playable species are announced. Sith Pureblood (Sith Warrior), Zabrak (Sith Inquistors), Miraluka (Jedi Knight) and Mirialans (Jedi Consular) are the four newies. 2. From the SWTOR forums: some nice debate on holiday events being included in SWTOR, a thread on [...]
Time to fight!
Well, it’s official. And yes, I admit I had a geekasm when they announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic would include space combat. Yes, I even went ‘squee’. Can you blame me? Most of my fondest memories are of X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance. What can I say? I [...]
Sith Sunday – SWTOR in the news
It’s been a rather big week for SWTOR news this week – the larger number of people involved with beta-testing is certainly creating some momentum, including on our own forums: 1. Bioware released a music trailer (more on that from us later in the week), an in-depth developer blog on music in SWTOR, and the [...]
To Beta or Not to Beta
Ok, the day has finally come. Lucasarts and Bioware have finally announced game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic. We are approximately 10 months from launch and from what we have seen so far of the game in demos and videos, it looks remarkably well polished and ready to go for a game just [...]
Jon Stewart interviews George Lucas
Via the Kansas City Star: The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart will be interviewing George Lucas as part of Celebration V, the festivities marking the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. The event kicks off on August 12th at the Orange Country Convention Center in the United States. The obvious question: how do we get [...]
Sith Sunday – SWTOR in the news
It’s hard to do a roundup of SWTOR news at the end of a huge week like the last one has been, but here goes: 1. The Wall Street Journal has a great article contrasting financial reform in the United States to some Star Wars lore of a similar vein. 2. For the comic-obsessive (like [...]
Introducing: TOROZ Pro iPad and iPhone application
Over the past two months that our free TOROZ Reader app has been available, we’ve been rapt at the level of interest it’s created. Every day a handful of people at least have downloaded the application so they have a simple way of browsing SWTOR news. Over that time we’ve been working on a Pro [...]
Courage and ‘Hope’
Last year was absolutely EPIC at E3. The cinematic trailer for The Old Republic was a masterpiece. The Sith assault on the Jedi temple on Coruscant in ‘Deceived’ has to be seen to be believed. No one doubted that Star Wars: The Old Republic was going to be epic before that trailer. After it? There [...]
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 [...]
