E3 2010 Multiplayer Demo

In today’s news, BioWare released a demo from E3, but this time, there were no interruptions by G4TV. The demo does give viewers a nice appreciation of what combat looks like in the game, but also shows what four players working together can do.

What this video provided was a bit of a better understanding on how the four classes would act together. The single most important thing that I saw was that the Jedi Consular wasn’t just a healer. My brother wanted to play as that, but when he saw the last demo and the Jedi Consular was just healing, he was let down. Fortunately, this demo does demonstrate that the Consular does more. She swung her lightsaber once, but she also relied heavily on the force.

The description that Sean from BioWare gave was:

During E3 we gave live demos of multiplayer game play in The Old Republic for the press. Now we want to share the demo with the community! This demo shows how a diverse group of players use their abilities to complement one another in battle.

Commander Narlock readies his troops for an Imperial assault. As he does, all four Republic classes; a Jedi Consular, Jedi Knight, Smuggler, and Trooper join together to assist in fighting off the attack. Watch as each player does his or her part to take on the enemies, and beat the Imperial Troopers and Imperial Breach Droids.

Watch the video and then let us know what you think. We’ll do a more detailed analysis of the video in the next couple of days. Here’s the video.

So, what do you think? Awesome or what? Leave a comment and let us know!
