Head over to Gamespot for a preview of what we can expect to see reveals of at E3, as they have an in-game trailer (we're working on a dissection) and an exclusive interview with Lead Writer Daniel Erickson, Lead PvP Designer Gabe Amatangelo, and Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert. Some of the features BioWare will unveil at E3 include a new Blur-produced CG trailer, hands-on with the planet Tatooine, mounts, Warzones, and our first look at raids -- or what BioWare calls "Operations."
Gabe Amantangelo: What you'd know as raids in other MMOs, we're calling "operations" in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Operations will be epic, multi-group events with settings and immersive gameplay inspired by scenes in the Star Wars movies. For examples, players will have to navigate the environment as a powerful Force wielder brings down the room around them; they'll have to work together to solve a code and fend off enemies while they're cornered, and so on.
Additionally, players will be able to enjoy operations as soon as they hit level 50. There will be varying difficulty modes, much like what is found in other BioWare games. The challenge, mechanics, and rewards will vary with the modes. So both the casual and hardcore player will be able to enjoy epic content alongside multiple groups of friends.
