BioWare has just revealed another planet that will appear in its upcoming MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. This time it's Hutta, the homeworld of the slug-like race known as the Hutts.
The art team seems to be doing a good job of capturing the old visual feel of the original Star Wars films. If it doesn't seem as shiny as Mass Effect to you, keep in mind that MMORPG's are generally optimized to work on as wide of a range of PC's as possible. Plus, unlike Mass Effect, there's no protracted elevator rides to hide loading times (we hope). BioWare also recently released a video introducing Tython, the planet where the Jedi order was first founded. The full game, which is set for the PC and could arrive on consoles as well, is said to have dozens of worlds so expect more updates like this. |
