When it comes down to it, the two specializations for Star Wars: The Old Republic's Jedi Knight class really determine what kind of a person you are in real life. For instance, are you an introspective, thoughtful so-and-so who prefers to hang near the back of a crowd, supporting your friends with encouraging words, ala the Guardian? Or do you like wildly flailing two lightsabers, like the Sentinel? Well, which is it? Compassion, or two lightsabers?
Check out the game's official site for more details on these two advanced classes, and check out the trailer after the jump to see what kind of hardships (and Sandships) the Jedi Knight will have to face in The Old Republic.
Those of you looking for levels of complexity and immersion comparable to X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter or Star Wars Galaxies' Jump to Lightspeed might want to hold your horses prior to pinning your hopes on BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic. The forthcoming MMORPG is rumored to feature space combat “on rails,” which basically means it could be nothing more than a mini-game or a “tunnel shooter” that severely restricts player movement in the form of pre-set paths and goals.
While this is currently unofficial information, you can find a detailed write-up at the German fansite known as Online Welten. Purportedly, site contributors were privy to an upcoming article in PC Action magazine which goes into detail about some of the mechanics.
