Something tells me the game is coming out this year. What do you guys think?
Here's a 37 minute video from the cake. The video shows Level 4 Jedi Knight gameplay with some commentary from the leaker.

Love the ambiance inside that cave. The combat looks great as well.

Awesome. I wish I could download this at my work but 1.2 Gb is just a little too big. Started the download at home though and will watch from there.

The "mana" pools are different from WoW. More like a regen energy bar. The force is better than magic
.I think this is the same video

I know it is not the main focus, but this is not the first time I have read comments on a low number of flashpoints. I hope they are planning on putting some more in, before release.Billychu said:

Water is not wet!
The animations for the combat look great. Dodges and parries and stuff.

I agree. Cool to actually see them react in combat as oppose to the word 'Parry' or 'dodge' appearing on the screen.

Looks like the beta shuts down on the 20th. New build, not a patch though since it's rumored that people will have to do a clean install.
I hated that he rarely used his aoe. sloppy, just sloppy!
But I want more.

Hopefully they bring in tons of people in along with that new build.
Including me!

So... I had a dream that I was playing the beta. The funny thing is that I haven't really been thinking about the game that much over the past couple of days. I've been so exhausted from work that I haven't even been jumping on WoW. It just kind of popped in there.
A release date better be coming soon...

I keep telling myself that the beta hasn't started yet, but this might be too much...

Ah okay thanks for replies. Thought it was a little weird considering there's an NDA.
Same here, getting pretty excited about this. I am not into MMOs really, but I like what this one promises. I am looking into my e-mail each day, hoping to get into the beta. I registered at the official site the day the game was announced and signed up for the beta. No luck though.

Haven't watched the entire video posted above (it's quite boring since it's low level) but I do find the gameplay to be looking very sloppy and sluggish. Kinda reminds me of Warhammer Online, which in my opinion, is not positive at all. I sure hope the upcoming beta build will proove me wrong though. Still, I want this game because it's Star Wars and somehow, I have faith in Bioware.

For anyone who watched the new vid, you guys saw how the class quests worked? You can invite anyone to help you, but they have absolutely no involvement with it, and can't interact in anyway outside of attacking mobs. I think they should let people watch the cutscenes, and the get the music queues.
As it stands now, It's cool that you can have people come at all (and it's so seamless), but I would love to just watch the cutscenes & stuff.

Sloppy & sluggish? Broad terms to throw around, do you care to elaborate? Because I don't get it. It looks cool to me.

I just want to see if it will even run on my old ass PC. WoW does, Starcraft 2 does on medium, I hope this does.

It's hard to explain. I've played WoW for 6 years and the animations in that game look so natural, they don't glitch at all. Here it doesn't seem the case. Probably because of the auto-facing and the cool-looking light saber duels those probably should provide. It just doesn't look smooth and natural to me.

Part of it might have to do with FRAPS being used to record the video. It tends to chop the FPS up a bit.

They are using combat synching like they did in the KOTOR where the characters will animate to look more fluid, sabers clashing against each other, parries, etc. While nice it sometimes doesn't seem to work out so well and can come off as awkward.

At the end of that post, the writer mentions Bounty Hunters also being healers. Is that a recent change or is he mistaken? All the official information I can find still shows them as tank(powertech)/dps(merc).
