If you boys and girls haven’t checked it out yet, Cody over at TenTonHammer had a really great interview with a few of the devs at the recent Comic Con. Give it a look-see HERE. Now, there is obviously a little fanboyism that exerts itself either from being a fan of BioWare or Star Wars, however, my head started to hurt after the 1st page of this interview. Why? How many bloody times can you say the word ‘story’ in an interview? Seriously? Kudos to Cody for really trying to wring some information other than the old “Story Pillar” standby.  At the very least, Jake Neri did make a couple of very interesting comments in regards to game play on page 2 of the interview:

“I mean, we haven’t even shown anything to the public yet past level eight. We have really, really exciting character classes that each feel totally awesome. If you’re a guy that just wants to power through a bunch of those and just have a really compelling combat experience at the top of the game, that’s an option for you. We’re already proving that to ourselves, and if folks just want to fight – and that’s the pillar that they love – they’re going to be very satisfied.”

Ok, so it doesn’t really TELL us anything, but it’s a nice consolation for those following the development of the game – that has nothing to do with the story.  There has also been some growing excitement of late as to how far along the development of the game is and that we could see even a January release date…. calm down, my friends, I know the thought of playing SWTOR within the next six months triggers nerdgasms of epic proportions…. In this article, as the quote above from Jake Neri clearly states, the demo only goes through character level 8 – so in my personal opinion, Q1 of 2010 is not logically realistic..but one can hope!

Anyway, EBA gives its regards to Cody from TenTonHammer, for valiently attempting to cleave through their crap, even if he did only manage to swat a few flies away…..
