    I had no idea megavideo was a website....I've been on their ugh...sister site a few times though...

    Also guys it's around 28:20 before Revan shows up. So you don't have to sit through all that great combat.

    I can imagine a quote from Dr. Ray when Easter rolls around.

    "We always thought Free-to-Play was the right business model!"

    EDIT: Enough of your yammering! Die!

    That was pretty weak voice acting, at least this Revan kind of looks like my dude.

    LOL

    There's no way to say this without a certain SWTOR fanboy clamoring down my throat, but fuck it. Even the dialogue is somewhat disappointing. Four people encounter one of the greatest Jedi the Order has even seen and there appears no other option than to say 'let's fight' in a nice way or 'let's fight' like an asshole. Speaking of which, Revan disappears off the face of the galaxy then shows up to be defeated by four people? Wow...and people give George Lucas shit for ruining something iconic.

    I don't know why SWTOR is getting hit for it's combat, I like it. Then again I am a RIFT/WoW addict so I guess this kind of gameplay makes me happy to see. Neat though, thanks for sharing.

    That's the problem. They are going to need a lot more than you to make it viable.

    And most people are either tired of it or they want something fresh, and they totally fucked up.

    Not impressed. Looks like another lame MMO with DPS, Healing, ect. Nothing unique, unlike Guild Wars2 which seems to be the only MMO that catches my interest.

    "[...]Most of Revan's story, as dictated above, is the plot of the video game Star wars: Knights of the old Republic. Though there are numerous possibilities to change on the details of the events above and Revan may end up as a redeemed Jedi or a renewed Sith Lord, the canonical ending features his return to the light side."

    From the esteemed source, Wookieepedia.

    So this game isn't cannon? Or he's still a Jedi and the players are being evil? And in that case, why is he talking about bringing back the Empire? I'm so confused...

    THIS!

    Edit: Also, having a guy standing in the back with a lightsaber and healing people looks really silly... Although it probably has +12 Force power or something.

    The combat reminds me of Knights of the Old Republic...

    Game looks fun to play, but I'm not liking the kill Revan thing.
    If anything he should be a raid, not a mid level instance boss...

    The vast majority of MMO fans love the WoW combat. The minority wants something vastly different.(The minority being people who hardly even like MMOs in the first place.)

    But regardless, the game doesn't even play that much like WoW. It's much faster paced, and feels more like KOTOR sped up.
