I'll be following this game as close as I possibly can, because I've heard good things about Bioware and I love the Star Wars intellectual property. Recently they've posted alot of concept art and articles over at the official site, but the dropped a great video on us today:

Looks fantastic, great choice by going with stylized graphics. I think Age of Conan showed us how problematic photo realistic graphics are in an MMO, and games like City of Heroes, WoW, and others show that stylized graphics are the way to go. This to me is just the first small clue that Bioware is on the right track.
Some of the animations seemed like they could be a little more fluid, but hey this is early developer footage. It looks great to me nonetheless, and I'm hopeful that this game turns out to be the great Star Wars MMO that SWG failed to be.

Thanks for posting this Brent, I haven't checked that site in a while.
i dont agree that SWG failed infact its probably better than most i've played possibly because of the community and thats NGE , SWG Pre-CU is the best mmo to date ...imo
Oh my god!
I can't wait for this. Thats if it doesn't fail
SWG is deadmeat.
@anon: Too bad that game you liked doesn't exist anymore. I agree with your comment about the SWG community. IMHO the community is the only thing that has kept the game alive.

Hey all:
Been looking forward to this game but... I am not a fan of micro-transaction games. Hopefully they will not follow this model upon release.
