  • What to Expect and Not Expect at E3 from TOR 1 CommentsPosted by Jacob on June 14, 2010 under Featured Content, Predictions, Opinion and Analysis
    The time has come for E3 2010. Video game producers will try and sell their product--or the idea of their product since they're not released yet--and show people why they should be excited about their game. As followers of Star Wars: The Old Republic, we have been waiting for this day since last year's E3. Last year, we got the amazing Deceived cinematic trailer. We also learned that they were goi... more.
  • Timeline: The Jedi Civil War 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on June 11, 2010 under News
    In another Timeline series, we get to witness information that, for many passionate Star Wars gamers--specifically in the realm of Knights of the Old Republic--is old information that really isn't all that important. But, the release makes complete sense considering E3 is right around the corner. There is going to be a huge influx of people checking out SWTOR.com, so a simple Timeline makes good s... more.
  • Humanizing the Sith 9 CommentsPosted by Jacob on June 9, 2010 under General TOR
    In nearly every version of the Sith--be it from the movies or from the extended universe--they are always an incredibly evil group of people who, with the help of the dark side, cause grief and destruction in pursuit of their overall goal of galactic domination. However, I wonder if it is possible to humanize the Sith and make them more than just this purely evil form. I came across this topic ... more.
  • A Look at Combat in The Old Republic 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on April 29, 2010 under Featured Content, Predictions, Opinion and Analysis
    In the Star Wars universe, almost no game can really be a success unless there is some intense combat. While KOTOR I and II were great games, it relied entirely on the story because, truthfully, the combat was nothing. Fortunately, BioWare is looking to make combat a serious addition to TOR. In a recent video documentary, they talked about what combat is going to be like in the game. On top of tha... more.
  • Timeline: Peace for the Republic? 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on April 26, 2010 under General TOR
    In another update of the Timeline series, we got a little more of the story on what was going on the centuries leading up to the onslaught of the Sith Empire. Specifically, what was it that the Sith were doing while the Jedi were recovering from their Civil War and Revan? Once again, BioWare has created a story that had me on the edge of my seat. There are a few things that really stood out for... more.
  • Blood of the Empire: Issue 1 1 CommentsPosted by Jacob on under News
    In my complete break down of The Threat of Peace: Treaty of Coruscant, I explained that one of the most important things leading up to the release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic is the fact that story is everything. Without a firm grasp of the story, there really isn't much to go with when the game is launched. Fortunately, BioWare and Dark Horse--who happens to rock by the way, so definitel... more.
  • Space Travel Likely in The Old Republic 12 CommentsPosted by Jacob on February 11, 2010 under Featured Content, Predictions, Opinion and Analysis
    One of the most highly questioned issues in Star Wars: The Old Republic is whether or not there will be space travel. More importantly, there is the wonder of whether there will be the ability to conduct space combat. With the release of Cryptic's Star Trek Online and what appears to be an effective - albeit I haven't played yet - attempt at space combat, it has left some people wondering if BioWa... more.
  • Threat of Peace: Treaty of Coruscant 3 CommentsPosted by Jacob on February 10, 2010 under Featured Content, General TOR
    With a tentative release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic, one of the things I felt was incredibly important for all players was to have a firm grasp of the story. For those that have been following TOR Universe since we launched in December of 2008 or for those that have been following since our relaunch a month ago, one of the things you know is that story is the most important aspect for me... more.
  • Developer Blog: Composing the Sith Inquisitor 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on February 6, 2010 under News
    To provide more information on the Sith Inquisitor, Rebecca Harwick, one of the writers for TOR, revealed information on what went into the planning of the Sith Inquisitor class. When picking a class to play as, understanding what went into creating the class can be an important aspect. What did the developers have in mind when they were creating a class? What did they see in their minds when tryi... more.
  • Threat of Peace: Issue #25 0 CommentsPosted by Jacob on January 29, 2010 under News
    BioWare released the next issue of Threat of Peace today much to the disappointment of the people on the forum. People are beginning to get antsy about the game because there is no information that people can use. Sean, the head of the community, gave the people some news that really upset them. The news, in a nutshell, was that they were going to be holding back on any big releases for the next f... more.
