Link: A Wow Players Guide to SWTOR
Summary:
Over at Gamesradar.com they have the above video as well as a write up for World of Warcraft players and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Its a sort of guide on how does WoW gameplay / tactics translate over to the upcoming SWTOR. This should help some players / gamers figure out if this sounds appealing to them or not.
Editorial:
Regardless if you are a Star Wars fan or not, it is likely that if you are a MMO fan or current player you will be checking out SWTOR at some point or know someone that is just dying to play this new and dynamic MMO. From the sound of it the Bioware developers / programmers seem to be aiming to create a game experience that counters some of the common pitfalls of traditional / existing MMOs.
Such as:
- non-immersive / linear story
- repetitive combat
- boring level grinds
- levels of complexity variances that either turn off hardcore players or shun new MMO gamers.
If Star Wars: The Old Republic can address some or all of these pitfalls by giving a immersive single-player feel to each player, create combat that is fresh and not boring or repetitive, as well as have something to offer both hardcore and casual gamers it will definitely be a big hit. Fail all of that, it will still be a Star Wars game and likely draw on a huge fanbase of movies, games, books and nerdlore.
