With the impending (read: yet to be revealed) release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, I’m finding gamers can be grouped into two categories. There is the group that can’t get enough Republic news, and the group that believes the game is being far over-hyped. For the former, The Escapist has run a story today that there is still big news to come regarding the upcoming MMO, on the scale of space battles and warzones.
Director James Ohlen would love to tell you what the feature is, but apparently Bioware’s PR department only budgets for allowing talk about what he wishes they would allow him to talk about.
Ohlen also said that players didn’t quite know about everything that The Old Republic had to offer yet. He said that while most of the game’s really big components – things like the space battles or the warzones – had been revealed, there was at least one more announcement to come on that scale. There would be a steady stream on information right up until launch, he added, but he could say any more without getting in trouble with the game’s PR department.
You can read the whole interview this article was derived from, an interview with Newsarama, at their website. The actual quote by Ohlen is:
We have some pretty exciting announcements that will be coming. I don’t think there’s anything on the level of PvP, Warzones, space battles or anything like that. Well, there’s one thing that might be at that level. Depends on what you like about the game, but it’s pretty exciting. Obviously I can’t go more into that, PR will kill me.
