Looks like
the hot topic right now is the announcement of the next expansion of Star Wars:
The Old Republic, called Knights of the Fallen Empire. As usual, Dulfy has the
complete coverage. I’d also suggest taking a look at what both Shintar and
Rohan have to say on the issue. Shintar’s blogroll will also lead to plenty of
other related posts.
The
expansion is marketed as a return to cinematic storytelling and apparently only
subscribers have access to the new content. I agree with Shintar in that “I
haven't been this excited about an MMO expansion in a long time” as well and I’m
even tempted to re-subscribe. I will, however, make that decision only when I
know a lot more about the expansion because I’m still sceptical. Also, none of
the subscriber rewards interest me. We’ll see how things pan out.
As to the
actual trailer, I must admit that I was very pleasantly surprised. I think it’s
very well done and has surpassed the “Hope” trailer as my favourite. Unlike many
others I did not miss the final death blow because my eyes were glued to the
screen. AWESOME! The topic of father issues has a long tradition in literature
(and by extension in all other forms media) and the trailer once more reaffirms
my vow to be a good father to my children.
All in all
I can say that I’m now hopefully optimistic about the future of SW:TOR even
though I’m not quite sure if a unique single-player experience warrants a subscription.
