Bioware and LucasArts, during the EA press conference for E3, announced the upcoming MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Old Republic will be the first ever fully voiced MMORPG featuring ‘hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue’. The announcement came during the concluding minutes of EA’s event and featured numerous lightsaber-wielding Jedi mounting the stage, two of whom revealed themselves as representatives of Bioware and LucasArts.
The game is considered ‘the largest voice over project in the history of games and maybe across all areas of entertainment’ according to Bioware and LucasArts. As well as premiering a new Jedi versus Sith trailer, they revealed that every class has its own unique storyline.
“If you play the entire game as a bountry hunter, an Empire class, and then play the game again as a trooper, a Republic class, your game play experience will be completely different. As you can tell story means a lot to us. Until now MMO games have shown an impressive commitment to the classic RPG features of combat, exploration and progression, what we call the ‘three pillars’. What we’re adding is something that’s fundamental to success of great entertainment in general: story.”
