BioWare have released another new trailer for their hotly anticipated MMO Star Wars the Old Republic, this time throwing a bit of fan service out there for fans of their acclaimed non-mmo Star Wars RPG, Knights of the Old Republic.

The Jedi Civil War left many unanswered questions. In the difficult days following the showdown between Darth Revan and Darth Malak, the Jedi Order struggled to survive, leaving little time for investigations. Redeemed as a Jedi, Revan traveled into deep space in search of a mysterious evil. We now know that the source of this evil was the reconstituted Sith Empire, but that solves only a portion of the mystery...

Those familiar with KOTOR should recognise that the described showdown is the final battle of that previous BioWare game and today's trailer gives us a glimpse at what we can expect (as well as a surprise returning character if you watch right to the end).

Check it out right here on AusGamers.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is currently slated for an early 2011 launch on PC.

Oh hi HK-47!

whats with the framerate

I want this game to be good, but every time I see combat gameplay, I'm disappointed. Assign ability to a number, click enemy, mash number. Lame.

Cool to see HK-47 though.

the word you're looking for is "MMO"

lol sudden change of emotion at 0:39

It looks bad even for an mmo, and it's supposed to be a new mmo. Dunno what's up with it, it has been looking continuously oddly s*** with everything they release.

I'm with Midda. I want it to be good but f*** it just looks so bad.
shoulda just remade KOTOR in a new engine(not this one), woulda sold like hotcakes

that combat footage looks like a piss take its that bad.

There's no reason why the formula can't be changed for MMOs. It's just that hardly anyone has tried.

I'm not saying I know the solution, but f***, there has to be something better than mashing numbers and grinding s*** for epic lootz.

Hk-47 rocks, Meatbags.
