Can Bioware and Lucas Art dethrone Blizzard's World of Warcraft from it's dominance in the MMORPG market with it's future release of SWtOR?
The game set to be release sometime in the late quarter of 2011; my guess it will be during the holidays around Nov or Dec. After reading about the game from it's official website I am looking forward to trying it out.
It is currently in close beta, with open beta coming soon. the video highlight show a similar game play and combat control much like WoW. the graphic is crisps and the movement looks smooth and fluid.
Players have two faction to choose from, 4 characters class from each faction and 2 advance sub class from their starting class. the factions that a player can join are either the Sith or the Repulbic.
Players then can be a Jedi, a Trooper, a smuggler or a Jedi consular on the republic side. On the Sith side a player can choose to play as a Sith warrior, a Bounty Hunter, an Imperial Agent or a Sith Inquisitor.
I am hoping for a beta invite so i can test the game out and continue reporting on the game until it goes live. right now my opinion on the game is neutral at best. I do however wish that the 2 class, Bounty hunter and Smuggler would not have been faction specifics. these class should be an independent class who can work for either the Sith or republic.
But for now one can only hope for the change and who knows the game is still in beta and they could change it before it goes live.
