EA’s chief financial officer Eric Brown explained in today’s meeting with Wedbush Morgan Securities in New York. In fact, Brown called The Old Republic the “largest ever development project, period, in the history of the company.”
Some people, including me, have had some doubts about Star Wars: The Old Republic. It looks a little cartoonish and it hasn’t looked all that great in the videos so far. Don’t get me wrong I played Star Wars Galaxies for a long time and I really want a proper new Star Wars MMO so I’ve really been waiting for this. Bioware is behind this and they deserve the benefit of the doubt as they have NEVER made a bad game. In fact all of their big games have been nothing short of great. It was already known that Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting a total voiceover for every character in the game – which possibly makes it the biggest voiceover project in history. Now with EA saying they are spending mad money on this, is there really any way this could fail? I say no – Bioware + a lot of resources equals a great game. Can’t wait for this to come out!
