So here it is. Could this be the evolution of the single player game on the pc?

You play 100 hour of story single player, then be thrust into a MMO if you choose after?

And please NO SWG discussion. Keep this to SWTOR please.
 
Looks pretty immense, I would deffo consider buying it when it comes out.

However I am more of a casual gamer now, wonder if its worth getting if you play a night or 2 a week and on saturday.

Very promising though, and that guy with short hair an glasses really needs to drink some water! Annoying dry mouth sound everytime he spoke!
 
While I am very excited about this game, I really do wish that they had created a single player game too.

Perhaps this will be the game that pulls me away from WOW, as I completely loved the other 2 games - I guess with the lack of info at the moment though it is a little hard to tell / judge fairly.
 
It all depends on how they deal with other character classes. Fair enough, the timeline is right for having loads of jedi running around, but you can't have them overpowered compared to the other classes, so how do you make them seem that way without ruining the game's balance?

Don't really want to end up with the situation in SWG at the moment, where jedi are just a tank class, fighters with glowy swords.
 
Not feeling it so far. I don't like "stylised" graphics for something like StarWars, it didnt work for that Clone Wars film and I cant see why they think it would here. Unless they are aiming the entire game at the 12 - 16 year old age group.
