Yeah, there’s a lot of small details that already show some promise: three characters in the party, the hyperspace engine is clearly based off the Ebon Hawks engines, I’m positive that is the Leviathan in the background and they showed a gizka if you look closely enough. I got enough Kotor vibes from it to warrant revisiting Kotor 1 & 2 in the near future
To be fair that’s usually how these teaser trailers work. Something with more substance would have definitely been nice, but I imagine that’s a few years off at a minimum.
There are a few very small details that stand out if someone has played the older Knights of the Old Republic games though
Yeah, that’s what I’m expecting with this. As someone who’s played a good amount of Bioware’s games, I’m not putting much stock in the visual fidelity of the teaser trailer they showed here. Definitely interested in where the game takes place however

Nice CG, but says nothing other than “New Star Wars game might come out someday.”
Also this shot is straight out of Alien:

Yeah, but it's Malek's dreadnought so I'm hyped either way.
ETA: loved the shot of the three-person party walking towards the wreckage. Definitely giving off old-school KOTOR vibes from that alone

I mean, yeah, that’s fair. Trailers like this it’s best to keep expectations in check before seeing actual gameplay.
That said, seeing as Casey Hudson is involved I’m definitely more confident about this than the Kotor remake. Time will tell.

I never know what to make with these kind of trailers. This told me nothing other than the name of a potential game. What do I do with this?

She traveled a long way.
Schhwing!
What more do you need to know?

I'm not sure who that's fair to exactly.
Baaron87@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 256d
That’s valid. When the Star Wars Eclipse trailer dropped I didn’t really and still don’t know what to expect from it.
If you haven’t played previous Kotor games, your party usually consists of three characters max at a time like shown in the teaser.
From the swfotor website, it does say that the game is going to be an action RPG. Nothing else of substance has really been shared

Surprised this hadn’t been shared here yet. I’m cautiously optimistic
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 256d
Same, it's a very cautious hope over here. Certainly more interested in this over the quantic one!

This reminds me of the old Bioware CGI trailers which were stunning but of course, the finished game could never match them.
