Bioware’s new MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic has long been in development but this new cinematic trailer will surely get every good Star Wars fan pumped up for the new game. With the game being confirmed for a Spring 2011 release date, Bioware showed off an E3 2010 trailer exclusive.

The Old Republic does not dramatically diverge from traditional MMORPG gameplay. Players control an avatar in third-person view, interacting with the various elements of the game world and other players and will have their own starship as an in-game base. It has also been revealed that PvP will occur in warzones, either Jedi vs Sith or Republic vs Empire.[2] However, BioWare intends to put a large emphasis on the story element of the game, something that the company feels is lacking in other MMORPGs. New characters are required to choose to align with one of two factions waging war on each other—the Galactic Republic or the Sith Empire.[9] Several gameplay elements differ between the factions, such as story and available classes.[9]

If only this was game play footage and not cinematic footage then that would actually have blown my mind. However I’m sure if you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll definitely be looking forward to playing this game.
