Star Wars: The Old Republic Trailer Blasts into Space Combat

All Star Wars: The Old Republic players will be getting their own personal starships, which act as homes, sanctuaries, and bases of operation. But what fun is having a spacecraft if you can't take it into combat? The Old Republic fills that demand by providing space combat sequences, where players can shoot their way through waves of enemies while dodging obstacles. The only downside is that it will be a rail shooter, similar to the old Rebel Assault games, instead of open world flight.



Bioware's Dr. Ray Muzyka has just come off the stage after presenting Star Wars: The Old Republic at EA's Gamescom press conference. We didn't get much in the way of new details on the epic Star Wars MMO, but one point of great interest that we did come away with was the game's space combat. Which we now have a trailer of, and which looks and sounds as authentiacally Star Wars as it gets. It's unclear how on or off-rails it might be, but regardless, BioWare weren't kidding when they said TOR would be the MMO that played like a lavish single-player campaign.

Watch, and then start immediately designing your own ship in your head, like the big Han Solo fanboy that you are. You can see the video here.
