@ZMOGfilms It's the law of inverse ninja strength. The less amount of troops you have the stronger they will be, the more amount of troops you have the weaker they will be.
There have been a lot of amazing trailers lately: Halo Reach, Star Craft 2, Starwars the force Unleashed 2, and a few more. But I think this may be the best trailer I have ever seen.
@Setheme Well here's the thing. They might be sith, they might have powers, but that doesn't mean that they know how to fight. They might have some lightsaber training, but with a weapon like that you get cocky. The people they are fighting are clearly heavily trained commandos that know how to go hand to hand.
That was an epic battle. And certainly gives the impression why Jedi are so clean looking while the Sith are scared and burned. Which is of course expressed in both of their creeds/oaths.
this takes place 3,500 years before the movies, the siths name is Darth Malgus and the Jedi's name is Staele Shan decendent of Bastila Shan and possibly Revan might be her ancester as well
For those of you confuse about the timeline. The takes place right after Knights of the old republic. I still haven't figured out when though. KOTOR is 3,956 years before SWNH. SO TOR might be a few years after KOTOR. Ive been hearing rumors that you might run into some of the people from KOTOR. One person in particular was Mission Vo. I could be just rumors and I could be off on the timeline by 500 years,
@IIMikeyy This is after Revan's time. The developers said that it was hundreds of years after the events of KOTOR, but thousands before the time of the Galactic Republic.
@iLuvChocoChips it's the commander/main trooper hero in this video he is also the same trooper who survived and ran away with satele shan and the hunter and once again reacquainted with her in this video :]
@evsidewinder2 They're grenades meant to destroy droids, therefore it didn't hurt them as much. I forget the specific name, but as you can see it damaged their armor a lot more than it damaged them.
@FlyBoyKhi The Female Jedi is Satelle Shan, a descendant of the Jedi Knight Bastilla Shan. The Sith Lord is Darth Malgus and as for the guy in the Iron Man Suit, he's just one B/A trooper.
I like the little attention to details in this video. The initial video shows Sith capital ships hovering over the landscape, obviously the sith control the skies and space around this planet. However, after failing to defeat the ground defenses, the troopers send up flares. This than alerts the jedi fleet that probably just came out of hyperspace, that the sith have lost the ground war, and are probably scrambling to come up with a counter attack..perfect time for an ambush from behind!!!
@AirDJ91 Shes not their daughter, but Satele is just descended from Revan and Bastila. The Old Republic takes place 300 years after the KOTOR games so Bastila is likely her great-great-great grandmother.
@Setheme You also gotta realize that at this point in SW history, Sith were a -big thing- in areas controlled by the Republic. There was special training, classes, dissertations given by Jedi on how to resist mind tricks... I'm sure those gentlemen had a very good idea of what they were facing, and an even better idea of what to do when they got there.
@darkiason: Thing is, he survived, although he had such extensive damage to his jaw that he had to wear a respirator for the rest of his life, as seen in the Sacking of Coruscant video.
@scotthendo your insight into basic combat is remarkable. i was thinking the same thing. from the position those troopers had at the beginning they could have laid waste to the enemy below. oh well
@RosAlexandher pretty much anything. there is an element in star wars that can shut off a lightsaber before it cuts through it. Not sure if Cortoses is in heavy use in armor in the old republic. There are also swords with sith alchemy infused in them that lightsabers can not cut through, but that is ancient sith. By now sith have lightsabers.
To all the people saying that it was a bad move to charge the enemy from the hill: it may not have been as poor an idea as you might think. With so many sith present, it's not impossible to imagine that they could project a force storm on the ridge, effectively killing everyone instantly. Also, as a planet nearly entirely controlled by imperial forces, artillery or orbital strikes were also a potential danger. Mixing your numbers with the enemy prevents the use of such tactics.
imagine this on kinect where u can pick which side and which class seeing a contest for however long it takes tell jedi or sith take over the universe that be badass
@Marioluigiiiii It isn't Bastilla Shan, but it is a descendant of hers, probably with Revan. Her name is Grand Master Satele Shan, and yes she is a bamf. She prefers to be called Satele and not Shan because she is embarrassed by her ancestor's infamous arrogance. Kotor 3, AKA The old Republic, is based 300 years after KOTOR 1 & 2 and the release date for this game is September 2011.
@TheGMCasper Their only advantage was the element of surprise, so rushing them was the best thing to do. If they just stayed on the high ground, the Sith would move a bit farther away and find a way to bombard them from a distance, or just flank them, cut off their escape and hold them there until they starve. It was either hit and run or charge, and in this situation it was most important to kill as many as possible, so it's a charge.
@car0295 This game takes place a few thousand years before the movies, when the sith and jedi were both larger in number. The sith were on the verge of defeat, or so the jedi thought, and they made a giant comeback. The story should take place around the time of the games, Knights of the Old Republic if I'm not mistaken.
And then the actual game was released... I'm reminded of quote Yahtzee made "What an exciting, fast-paced action sequence, I wish I'd been playing it." Or words to that effect.
@MandaloretheExile this war is actually thousands of years before the original Star wars trilogies... waay before the clone wars... oh a by the way, the bald one (that seems to be the Sith Lord) is Darth Malak, after he betrayed Revan...
@LeighAndrew They might, considering the presence of a Darth (Malgus), and a large number of Sith. Forces more difficult to quickly replace, and consider in the context of the story: This Sith battalion is intended to take and hold the capital before the imminent arrival of the Republic navy, wiping out Havoc squadron in a M.A.D scenario would not have achieved this goal.
The CGI almost always makes a game look way more fun than it actually turns out being. If the game is half as fun to play as this trailer was to watch think it'll do just fine.
This was far better than anything in the prequel trilogy. I really wish Lucas would let these game developers do a Star Wars CG movie. Probably doesn't wanna get shown up. lol
@Suport7000 Kotor 1 had dialogue and was released years before mass effect, so if mass effect dialogue has anything to do with sw:tor, dont forget that mass effect dialogue was made up from this games old prequel
That guys a beast! Blowing up a sonic detonator while he was still holding it ^^ Does anyone else feel like it was Bastilla and Malak fighting? or was it just me? The girl even had a double bladed lightsaber like Bastilla and the sith guy was bald just like Malak ^^
who else really wants a movie done in these graphics? i don't care if the movies set in the old republic, the new republic w.e but man these graphics and action scenes are beautiful
@seventhhean I agree. This would make a fantastic movie, but I believe the game in its full essence is to make you create your own personal Star Wars Movie.
Omfg omfg omfg omfg this is right before knights of the old republic im 15 and those were tge first games i ever had for my xbox =) this is a dream cone true reven and malak furing the war i cant wait till i see how malak loses his face -:D
@spark252 The rule of there only being two sith lords at a time would not be invented until after the Battle of Russan in 1000 BBY. The Republic soldiers in this game are not clones. Although I must admit that the armor is very similar so I can see the reason for confusion.
One question, what happened to the troopers blaster rifle at 3:40? Why would he charge a dark jedi when he could just as easily have shot him in the back?
@mother2389 The Jedi Exile was a blond female. Revan was a man, before he left for the unknown regions he made bastilla pregnant. Some generations later, this female jedi was born. Her name is Satele Shan. She is powerful because she has Revan's and Bastilla's blood running through her veins. Now, she is just a Knight. But after this war, she is promoted to Grand Master(Like Yoda) and fights in a next war.
just by seeing such awesome trailers from star wars i really think that it can easily make a game which can be better than crisis , mass effect and halo i mean it has all the things it need , awesome weapons , ideas , budget and THE FORCE !
@ReyColons619: That's your opinion and that's fine although I dis-agree with you about the elm street movie. I'm not saying to do a COMPLETE remake. What I said was to use the ORIGINAL dialouge, but have this CGI on top of it. You can't imagine how sweet that would look? Did you NOT like the cinematic trailers?
@AltairAhad1945 That may be so, but that doesn't stop it from looking incredibly cool as well as being incredibly powerful. I'm glad they decided to up the good guys a bit. I've always been more of a light side fan, but I have to admit they seem to give all the cool stuff to people aligning with the dark side. Now they're bringing change to that. Big cheer!
@ZMOGfilms It's the law of inverse ninja strength. The less amount of troops you have the stronger they will be, the more amount of troops you have the weaker they will be.
jesus, that was the coolest trailer I've seen for anything, ever. Why couldn't the starwars prequels have been like this!!??
do you ever feel like the like button isnt a strong enough representation for what you truly feel
I love how malgus still walks away from this fight.
There have been a lot of amazing trailers lately: Halo Reach, Star Craft 2, Starwars the force Unleashed 2, and a few more.
But I think this may be the best trailer I have ever seen.
Oh my God, I've never been a real star wars fan but the narration just...wow!
@Setheme Well here's the thing. They might be sith, they might have powers, but that doesn't mean that they know how to fight. They might have some lightsaber training, but with a weapon like that you get cocky. The people they are fighting are clearly heavily trained commandos that know how to go hand to hand.
That soldier just ran towards a sith lord with nothing but a knife as a weapon. That was BADASS.
That was an epic battle. And certainly gives the impression why Jedi are so clean looking while the Sith are scared and burned. Which is of course expressed in both of their creeds/oaths.
this takes place 3,500 years before the movies, the siths name is Darth Malgus and the Jedi's name is Staele Shan decendent of Bastila Shan and possibly Revan might be her ancester as well
@Skullbones12
it will be an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) so yes it will be online
I'm not even a SW fan yet I thought that this vid was very good. Great action scenes.
Oh my God, I've always been a real star wars fan and the narration just... wow!
OMG the Razer Star Wars: The Old Republic keyboard is awesome
Mandalorian armor might be standard issue armor for any troops and also this is Havoc squadron, an elite squadron so they might have special armor.
This will never get get old
3:12 all the clones ignoring the jedi and sith lightsaber clash lolz and also THAT JEDI IS JUST EPICCC
For those of you confuse about the timeline. The takes place right after Knights of the old republic. I still haven't figured out when though. KOTOR is 3,956 years before SWNH. SO TOR might be a few years after KOTOR. Ive been hearing rumors that you might run into some of the people from KOTOR. One person in particular was Mission Vo.

The epic level just shot out of the roof
@IIMikeyy This is after Revan's time. The developers said that it was hundreds of years after the events of KOTOR, but thousands before the time of the Galactic Republic.
@iLuvChocoChips
it's the commander/main trooper hero in this video

@evsidewinder2 They're grenades meant to destroy droids, therefore it didn't hurt them as much. I forget the specific name, but as you can see it damaged their armor a lot more than it damaged them.
This teaser makes me wanna watch Clone Wars series again
Awesome video! How long until the goosebumps go away?
@FlyBoyKhi The Female Jedi is Satelle Shan, a descendant of the Jedi Knight Bastilla Shan. The Sith Lord is Darth Malgus and as for the guy in the Iron Man Suit, he's just one B/A trooper.

I'm sure those gentlemen had a very good idea of what they were facing, and an even better idea of what to do when they got there.
@Xylarxcode By Star Wars terms, Satele absorbed the energy from his lightsaber, preventing it from going through her hands.
@darkiason: Thing is, he survived, although he had such extensive damage to his jaw that he had to wear a respirator for the rest of his life, as seen in the Sacking of Coruscant video.
@scotthendo your insight into basic combat is remarkable. i was thinking the same thing. from the position those troopers had at the beginning they could have laid waste to the enemy below. oh well
no game can ever be as good as this trailer
@RosAlexandher pretty much anything. there is an element in star wars that can shut off a lightsaber before it cuts through it. Not sure if Cortoses is in heavy use in armor in the old republic.

Also, as a planet nearly entirely controlled by imperial forces, artillery or orbital strikes were also a potential danger. Mixing your numbers with the enemy prevents the use of such tactics.
This Lightsaber combat in this looks awesome!!
This one cutscene was better than all the prequel films
imagine this on kinect where u can pick which side and which class seeing a contest for however long it takes tell jedi or sith take over the universe that be badass
@Marioluigiiiii It isn't Bastilla Shan, but it is a descendant of hers, probably with Revan. Her name is Grand Master Satele Shan, and yes she is a bamf.

when she bolted him with that blast, my thought was simply "ouch...." xD
@TheGMCasper Their only advantage was the element of surprise, so rushing them was the best thing to do.

It was either hit and run or charge, and in this situation it was most important to kill as many as possible, so it's a charge.
A funny one liner when the trooper charges at the Sithlord would have been "EAT SITH!!"
@car0295 This game takes place a few thousand years before the movies, when the sith and jedi were both larger in number. The sith were on the verge of defeat, or so the jedi thought, and they made a giant comeback. The story should take place around the time of the games, Knights of the Old Republic if I'm not mistaken.
This trailer was very reminiscent of the Battle of Endor in Episode 6
damn that was one kick ass clone to survive that much
@kungfuwookie
that ability is Force Absorb. Its is in the books, Corran Horn had it. :-)
I agree, they should make short films of this quality!
And then the actual game was released... I'm reminded of quote Yahtzee made "What an exciting, fast-paced action sequence, I wish I'd been playing it." Or words to that effect.
like it how they build up do the ending. Plus the guy fights like a boss too.
The sith lord dude is a sith version of Lord Voldermort ;) Thumbs up!
I love how much it took to take that 1 sith down :P
this fight scene alone topped anything in the prequels
I now know what was missing from episode 1-3
for god sake make this a movie how much must we beg
o_o Those republic soldiers back then were pretty tough, going head on against the siths.
@MandaloretheExile this war is actually thousands of years before the original Star wars trilogies... waay before the clone wars... oh a by the way, the bald one (that seems to be the Sith Lord) is Darth Malak, after he betrayed Revan...
is there a trial available already? cause i think i might try it
@PvTmasonO where did you get that information on Revan and Bastilla having a child?
@gantzuka But if you read the books based off this game, it places it at around 3000+ years. Or so says the time line in the beggining.
Clone troopers taking on sith lords...their really raising the bar in clone academy.
DANG THAT STUFF LOOKED REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is an awesome trailer.tenstar, that was mad!
@LeighAndrew They might, considering the presence of a Darth (Malgus), and a large number of Sith. Forces more difficult to quickly replace, and consider in the context of the story: This Sith battalion is intended to take and hold the capital before the imminent arrival of the Republic navy, wiping out Havoc squadron in a M.A.D scenario would not have achieved this goal.
Master Satele Shan. The dude she owns at the end is named Darth Malgus.
@D4v1dGBH0Y how should they? an mmorpg for an xbox..how would you control the spells?
The CGI almost always makes a game look way more fun than it actually turns out being. If the game is half as fun to play as this trailer was to watch think it'll do just fine.
I expect that the gameplay will be exactly like this. Otherwise, I will complain without cease. All the while grinding my level 103 bounty hunter.
This was far better than anything in the prequel trilogy. I really wish Lucas would let these game developers do a Star Wars CG movie. Probably doesn't wanna get shown up. lol
hmm...any chance for a 7 day trial now? I would try this before buying, and no free weekend atm :(
I get goosebumps every time.
I really like the mission story line where you go to the shop to buy blue vein but come back with cheddar
Brick Show sent me here.
@Suport7000 Kotor 1 had dialogue and was released years before mass effect, so if mass effect dialogue has anything to do with sw:tor, dont forget that mass effect dialogue was made up from this games old prequel
WOW ! IF ONLY THE MOVIES WERE LIKE THIS ..
I wish they could make the animated movie like this. It would be damn awesome!
That guys a beast! Blowing up a sonic detonator while he was still holding it ^^
Does anyone else feel like it was Bastilla and Malak fighting? or was it just me? The girl even had a double bladed lightsaber like Bastilla and the sith guy was bald just like Malak ^^
The troops in this game are so badass
if they kept the clones like that i would be so happy
who else really wants a movie done in these graphics? i don't care if the movies set in the old republic, the new republic w.e but man these graphics and action scenes are beautiful
They need to make this into a movie
@seventhhean I agree. This would make a fantastic movie, but I believe the game in its full essence is to make you create your own personal Star Wars Movie.
Omfg omfg omfg omfg this is right before knights of the old republic im 15 and those were tge first games i ever had for my xbox =) this is a dream cone true reven and malak furing the war i cant wait till i see how malak loses his face -:D
@awesomist11 their republic troops. n clones were ment to be republic troops as well. so thats why the similar design
i miss the old versions of this game on my xbox
I believe you can buy it online, you don't need a disc. I don't think it's on Steam, though.
@spark252 The rule of there only being two sith lords at a time would not be invented until after the Battle of Russan in 1000 BBY. The Republic soldiers in this game are not clones. Although I must admit that the armor is very similar so I can see the reason for confusion.
Oh if you mean the end music it is Anakin's Dark Deeds I believe.
got chills watching that. and this is like my 4th time too.
One question, what happened to the troopers blaster rifle at 3:40? Why would he charge a dark jedi when he could just as easily have shot him in the back?
@kingtorm2 they're not clones, they're just soliders in clone-esque armor
@mother2389 The Jedi Exile was a blond female. Revan was a man, before he left for the unknown regions he made bastilla pregnant. Some generations later, this female jedi was born.

You can't imagine how sweet that would look?
Did you NOT like the cinematic trailers?
what bothers me is this is alot better than the ones they show now
At 3:37 thats pretty badass how they can use the force to block a lightsaber from stabbing them
@badmancal09 nope is for pc, is like World of WarCraft but with star wars pj
Bioware need to licence their video game promos for a blu ray disc or something - they are just beautifully epic!
@FootballUtah This is KOTOR 3, werent you watching podcasts?
Thank You very much!
@AltairAhad1945 That may be so, but that doesn't stop it from looking incredibly cool as well as being incredibly powerful. I'm glad they decided to up the good guys a bit. I've always been more of a light side fan, but I have to admit they seem to give all the cool stuff to people aligning with the dark side. Now they're bringing change to that. Big cheer!
ERA UN VIDEO BELLISSIMO E SPERO CHE IL GIOCO SIA ANCORA PIù BELLOO!
