Prelude to PAX!
Convention season is quickly coming to a close. But for all of us rabid fans of The Old Republic, this last one just might be the best one: PAX Prime! Why? Because PAX has always been a convention for the fans… for the gamers.
Last year at PAX 2009, BioWare and LucasArts were there with plenty of TOR goodness. The Trooper was revealed for the first time, we saw the reveal of Coruscant as a playable planet, and every attendee received a free copy of Knights of The Old Republic! You can actually catch the entire BioWare/LucasArts presentation courtesy of GameSpot right here.
So what can we expect this year?
Well, we know for sure that we will see the first US public consumer hands-on of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Everyone attending PAX will have the opportunity to play the game for the first time… that’s huge!
Also, BioWare and LucasArts have a special presentation on Saturday September 4th at 5:00pm PDT. What’s it about? Well, it’s safe to say that if there are any big reveals, they will probably come during this hour-long presentation.
We’re also hoping that just maybe, PAX will be the first time that the Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular classes will be playable… but that’s pure fanboy speculation on our part.
Needless to say, Ask A Jedi will be live from the PAX show floor every day, working to bring you breaking news as it happens, as well as deliver exclusive interviews, and of course lots of hands-on details of the game itself! Oh… and we’ll also be crashing all of the best parties, so don’t be shy in checking for after-hours updates as well ;)
We’ll be keeping this post updated with links to all of our PAX content, as well as all the good stuff we might find out in the rest of the TOR community. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter for the absolute latest.
As we said… PAX is about the fans. BioWare and LucasArts know this, and we suspect they’ve got something great up their sleeve for all of us. Stay tuned, it’s gonna be a good week!
