It was a great trailer if it hadn't been for Star Wars. Blur Studio know there stuff but to me it looked like the devs trying to say how troopers can kick Sith Ass. Which isn't supported in any of the star wars media, even a padawan learner managed to take down a bunch of troopers before being taken down. And here one Trooper hand to hands a Sith Warrior with a lightsaber ready. OK I know they are trying to sell the trooper and they are the elite and thats why they can toe to toe with the Sith but its not exactly keeping with the canon. The Ability to Destroy a Planet is insignificant next to the power of the force, which is it appears insignificant next to being shoulder charged by a guy in armour. So OK its a marketing tool and they want to market Troopers fair play and that explains the clone wars feel to the fight.
But after a while its starting to feel like smoke and mirrors, where there isn't anything worth showing in the gameplay footage so we see another cgi trailer. The game was announced back in October 2008 and we still have very little idea about the feel or the look of the game. We know its not going to be as good as the CGI but thats about it. As others have said a trailer no matter how good is still only a trailer, you can't play the trailer and you can only watch it so many times before you start seeming like a loon. I would rather see the game play than CGI, I want to know about what I might be playing not a trailer that in no way relates to the game in any meaningful way. Combat wont be like we just saw, the Sith who by all accounts is a warrior and yet used lightning something that is an Inquisitor power so there is nothing to suggest the powers are accurate and given the instanced game play its a good bet we wont be fighting for control of Alderaan. So all in all nice trailer but nothing to do with the game.
Really good cinematic trailer ! Wonder why they didnt put it up at SW:TOR official site tho. Since I dont like the add sites that wants to sell you something you dont want.
To the people claiming 'it plays nothing like that', well have you actually seen gameplay footage? It's very well done, superb animations, choreography, environments etc.

Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

Why do some people always try to rationalize things? It's not a faithful representation of what TOR will be ingame, deal with it. Sure, they may have featured some moves or powers that could present in the actual game in some for of ability or skill, but take it what it is - an awesome CGI trailer, don't waste your time digging for highly interpretable things or bitch over Lore.
Deal with it.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
Wish companies would quit doing this kind of marketing. Turns more off of a game than it turns on to a game. Turns real gamers off of a game and those it does get interested a lot of those lose interest when they find out that the game isn't anything remotely close to the cinematic trailer lol. Bad marketing lol.
Spoken like a true narcissist . . .
Except for he's partially right. After the first trailer how many people were on the SW:TOR forums thinking that was how the game was going to be? While I don't think its a serious deal and the world will end, I do think that the cinematics are just that, cinematic.
It was a fun watch. I'm glad they did the soldier some justice there.
I am really hoping we get some real information at E3 so we can see what Bioware is actually planning and we can stop conjecturing.
Looks they took it down since they shouldnt put it before E3. Edited my post with new link
works fine for me.

You will see the video window
On the bottom of the window, though just above the progress bar for the video you will see a link "hide ad and play video"
And that's all I needed to do.
oh... and "screw the empire!!!!"
*runs and hides under bed*
The first 2 sites it was on it got pulled from quickly so i uploaded it to divxden, hence why it works now as the OP added it.
Added it to megavideo in post near the bottom of the first page for streaming and also a megaupload link for download in case anyones having trouble with them.

Ofc, seems like polished trailer worked well to make fanboys excited..
Like "Omfg i want to be in star wars universe, gameplay,story doesnt important for me"
What was that crud supposed to be? Looked nice but has jack to do with the game. Always a bad sign in my book when they try to hype a game with an over glorified cinematic trailer. Generally means the game play isn't exciting enough to show so they have to dress it up. So now... I get to quit checking in on the game till some actual game play is shown.

Yeah because WoW isn't the biggest MMO out there. They have argueably the best trailers.
I'm tired of all the people making random assumptions about games they have never played before. "There is no story" "It's gonna be just mindless fighting" "The gameplay will be terrible because they have an awesome trailer" "It's nothing like the SW Universe I like"
I mean seriously? Have you played the game? Do you know anything about the game other than the few gameplay videos we've seen? Quit badmouthing a game ,and refering to shit games like The Force Unleashed, before you have any idea what the game is like. Thanks...
I love Bioware to death and will be checking out TOR's launch out of respect for their game-making abilities. That said, I really wish they would do something other than SW, it is such juvenile garbage and frankly beneath their level of storytelling talent.
Way cool! It really was epic and awesome. I think cinematic trailers are important to give people an idea about the mood. And of course for RP. In our days you can't just write some text to get people's attention. So it is well justified.
Great flick. I am glad they gave the Republic their much needed coolness!
Seriously this isn't Star Wars, they are insulting everything Star Wars stands for. I mean nice movie but not Star Wars at all.
Are you nuts? This trailer is more Star Wars than anything Lucas has come up with in the last 20 freaking years.
Jedi/Sith aren't wearing robes. IT'S NOT STAR WARS! Jedi didn't wear armor, WTF? They're supposed to be like the Rangers of the North from The Lord of the Rings. Few, secretive, but powerful and a force of justice. And did you see that Jedi chick using a double-bladed lightsaber? Do you know how FEW actually mastered that thing? Darth Maul was one in a million! Now every Consular and Inquisitor will be able to use it! It's a travesty, a true CRIME!
There are explosions. IT'S NOT STAR WARS! Star Wars was about the inner journey Luke took to become a jedi, not 'SPLOSIONS GALORE for ADHD children.
That Jedi used the Force. IT'S NOT STAR WARS! Everyone knows that the Force can't be used like that. It's disgusting. The Force should only be used conservatively or perhaps for mind control, not to fell trees or crush rocks. Nevermind Count Dooku collapsing those pillars with the Force at the end of Episode II! The last three movies were garbage! THEY WEREN'T STAR WARS EITHER!
And, lastly, if anyone thinks I'm being serious, don't bother replying. Please.
Crocko - they've made their own IPs, why can't they do something popular? What else are they going to show besides Jedi/Sith? This trailer showed Troopers, which I like, and some enemy droids. But not having Jedi/Sith is like showing a WAR40k trailer about TAU FIRE WARRIORS instead of Space Marines (LOLOLOLOL!)
Ep. 4-6 were released in the late 70 - early 80s and although Lucas had some special effects and such , he didnt have the amount that he wanted. If back then he had the amount of Money and Tech that he has now , the Movies would have been something completely different. Sure we would have had the Lukes Journey part , but the rest would have been full of CGI Fights and Choreographed Combat and Funky Force Powers and and and ...
In the end its called "Star WARS" not "Star a little band of people travel around the Galaxy and take down an entire Empire with the help of teddy bears".
This Game takes place during a Massive WAR , it takes place 3000 years before the Movies ... the canon does not apply.

Oh they can do whatever they like, I'm just a nobody commenting on a forum, and I'll try whatever game they make. That said, SW is just garbage, it really is. Badly written cliched garbage that was originally designed for all audiences but has since been retconned by its creator into being 'for kids.'
Everyone gets a hard on every time they see a lightsaber and I've just never understood that. It's such a cliche at this point. I would much rather subscribe to a Mass Effect MMO.

Cudos on the Sarcasm hehe..
First off, people saying "It's just a cinamatic and not gameplay".. Well DUH! They are not the first and will not be the last to showcase a game with a CGI Trailer. Saying stuff like "Oh it brings ppl in expecting the game to be like this or that and its decietful!" Rubbish.. Anyone remember WoW Trailer? HERE
Second off, people saying "This isn't Star Wars!" Umm how many of you were around in 1977 when Episode IV was released? In 1977, this movie was considered "Action Packed"! And don't get me started on the 1980 release of Episode V and its amount of action in it. You have no idea what you are talking about. GL even said he wanted to go back when technology made it possible to recapture what could not come across at the time with how special effects were.
I would point out that maybe you should state something like IMHO or I Think instead of THIS IS NOT. As you have no idea wtf you are talking about. GL and LA owns SW as well as "what SW is" and not you or your opinion. The universe, the interactions, the story lines, etc. are to what THEY feel SW is about. It may not be what you WANT it to be, but that is personal opinion and no where near fact.
One moment people are complaining about the game having story, characters and so forth which disrupts the action, because mmo players don't care about all that and just want to go straight to fighting.
Then the next moment they're complaining how they released an action packed cinematic trailer with too little story in it.
It's extremely funny.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!

WHAT DID I SAY!
WAR = short trailer, then a ~5 minute awesome trailer right before launch.
I said if BioWare was going to do another trailer, it had better be longer (at least 5 minutes) and full of awesome. And that's what they did!
Or maybe it's a coincidence, but whatever it is, I like it.
