Comment From Zach Dowd
Will there be a video of this later on g4 website?
3:25
Nikole: Yes we're recording this panel for you!
3:26
Comment From Paul Duval
Will you be sharing the announcements via chat with us as they are said?
3:27
Nikole: i will tell you as soon as I know!
3:27
Eric Eckstein: Just so everyone knows, Comic-Con does not allow any broadcasting or live streaming of panels. So we'll record the panel, and later in the week, put this live so you can see it in all its glory.
3:29
Comment From Max Madewell
Have they announced anything yet? Videos? Updates? A possible Release Date?
3:30
Nikole: The panel hasn't started yet. People around me are iphone ap lightsaber fighting.
3:30
Eric Eckstein: BTW, an important update for everyone. The Collector's Edition pre-orders may have already sold out, in advance of the beta in September: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/po...eptember-collectors-edition-already-sold-out/

Comment From Celairnaur Airgedok
Who is winning the lightsabre app fight Sith or jedi?
3:32
Nikole: I think I'm the winner just for watching them look so ridiculous
3:34
Comment From Maciej Koperski
Is the room full? How about the atmoshpere? I'm wondering is the SWTOR panel one of the most popular thursday attractions?
3:35
Nikole: The room is packed! The PR and staff are trying to get everyone to move over to so every seat is filled. I aint moving!
3:35
Nikole: OMG OMG LIGHTS ARE OFF
3:36
Nikole: SWtOR trailer "for centuries we waited" trailer is playing.
3:37
Nikole: I think we saw this video at E3. The Sith and the Republic both tell their reasons for wanting to win.
3:37
Nikole: All cinematic, no in game, kid next to me stopped breathing.
3:40
Nikole: The Star Wars opening screen plays, ToR will start with the trademark Star Wars scroll.
3:40
Nikole: It will be different for each class and it will give you some back story.
3:42
Nikole: This might be a new cinematic, a ship is closing in on a red planet. Small fighter ships close in. AND ITS OVER. Tease.
3:43
Nikole: So all the cinematics they've shown have been released in reverse chronological order. Wrap your mind around that!
3:44
Nikole: If you play on the Republic side you will not have any of the missions as playing on the Empire.
3:44
Nikole: it's like two games in one!

A: Never do this.

Yeah, I stuck around for that. Too bad they didn't give an official release, but hopefully they can stick to the target zone. I wonder when we will get our early access....
