"Whether you were busy being digested in the Sarlacc Pit, Bounty Hunters stole your speeder or – like at least one of us – you were encased in carbonite and unable to make it to Germany for GamesCom, we’ve got something for you!

Get a close-up look at the Bounty Hunter and Smuggler on the worlds of Hutta and Ord Mantell. Jump to the Sith home-world of Korriban and meet the Sith Warrior class. Be transported aboard an Imperial transport ship to see the Bounty Hunter and Sith Warrior decide the fate of the captain and crew aboard the Black Talon.

The video contains almost 20 minutes of actual gameplay footage..."

Yeah, I watched that last night. I was rather impressed on how they have done the voice acting stuff. It is definitely showing promise.

Looks like a mix between Republic Commando, WoW, and TF2. I was hoping the graphics would be more realistic, but it looks good nonetheless.

I like they way that they have done the graphics. The mix of clearly Old Republic with slight realism. You also have to remember that this video is still in the relatively early stages and means that there is very likely some more polishing going to be done to the visuals.

Yeah, I found the graphics to be acceptable. It looks like its shaping up to be really good. I'm excited to give it a go, particularly with some extra folks from here around to play it too (most of my IRL friends look to be either staying out of MMOs or sticking with WOW)

There's no question that I'm going to go Sith Warrior, but that Smuggler's close combat kick in the stomach and blast in the head is pretty badass.

I'm hoping to be able to play it and not feel pressurised to become a Jedi/Sith....balancing is the most important to me for that reason. I don't want to be penalised because I'm not force sensitive.

My other wish would be to not be the only bounty hunter present in a world full of Jedi/Sith. But hey, guess they cant really help some people's lack of originality.

Smugglers are, I think, nominally on the Republic side - as near as I can tell the 8 classes are broken down to have 4 classes associated with each faction. Bounty Hunters and Sith are on the same side.

Based on the video, I'd say that BH's look to be fairly balanced with the Sith Warrior. The BH mowed down the other enemies in the background while the Sith mostly handled one at a time, or concentrated on Jedi.

I wouldn't worry too much about being the only BH. I'd say the real problem will be having anything except BH's and Sith running around on the Sith side.
