Star Wars: The Old Republic (TOR) got lots of raves from the media at the recent 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) when they revealed the first TOR cinematic trailer, “Deceived”. This first cinematic trailer captures the Sacking of Coruscant in breathtaking action and beautiful detail. The Old Republic marks BioWare’s first entry into the MMORPG market, and it will be the second Star Wars MMORPG after Star Wars Galaxies. The veteran Star Wars fans have all reasons to celebrate their enchantment collectively in Padawan spirit. Unleash our inner unorthodox power to rule the Star Wars universe…and once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny! Anyway, Before we get deeper with my yoda yoda thing, read on the highlighted features that has been revealed at Electronic Arts (EA) Press conference after the break.

Highlighted features from E3 demo:

TOR will be the first fully voiced MMO – Every playable character (male and female) and every non-playable character in the game will be brought to life by voice actors – resulting in several thousand speaking roles and hundreds of thousands of recorded lines of dialogue! This gives players a compelling and immersive story telling experience.
Choice matters – Story drives choice, and choice drives action. Critical choices impact the outcome of your story dramatically. In the demo of an Imperial Flashpoint, attendees had to decide whether to kill an Imperial Captain who disobeyed a direct order, or to spare the Captain’s life. Depending on the choice, the TOR demo went in two different directions, each group seeing unique areas and content. Explore the press write ups below to find out what each path was like.
Meet the Smuggler – Blast, bargain, and charm your way through the war-torn planet of Ord Mantell. Inspired by Han Solo, the Smuggler can unleash a flurry of bolts from his blaster or dodge a patrolling group of Separatist soldiers all while hijacking enemy contraband.
Cover System – The first cover system of this type in an MMO! The demo team showed off the cover system for the Smuggler. Gain a tactical advantage by taking cover behind various objects (trees, rocks, buildings, etc.). When in cover, characters can switch to other cover points and also have access to special abilities.
Unique class stories – Each class story is exclusive and storylines are also specific to each allegiance. For example: the storyline for a Smuggler (a Republic Class) is 100% different from the Bounty Hunter story (a Sith Empire class). You won’t share any content or missions.
Multiplayer dialogue system – Another MMO first! E3ers got a preview at a new multiplayer dialogue system that allows players to engage in the storyline choices together. This creates a highly interactive and immersive gaming experience.
Additional TOR features – The TOR team would like fans to know that Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online game with all the features that players can expect from a MMO.
