The Old Republic Behind the Scenes Interview
Zam.com got the great opportunity to interview a couple members from The Old Republic team at BioWare. They are Producer Jake Neri and Senior Writer Hall Hood and this took place shortly after the “Behind the Scenes” look at Comic-Con 2009. As usual with interviews for this game, they do not reveal any new information, but there are a few interesting snippets.
ZAM: A lot of die-hard Star Wars fans want to know what George Lucas thinks of all this. In many ways, this is a more ambitious project than the Star Wars Trilogy remake and Episode I, II and III combined. This is huge, huge deal. What does he think about it all?
Jake Neri: Well, I think George is pretty excited. He’s obviously been enthusiastic and supportive of what we’re doing. I am sure he knows it’s a daunting task—and we are all doing our best to deliver for him. Everyone wants to make George proud.
ZAM: Last question. I don’t think the Star Wars universe would be as cool if you couldn’t fly in a Tiefighter or wreak havoc on the ground in a Walker. Can players expect to control vehicles or even obtain their own in Star Wars: The Old Republic?
Jake Neri: We have not really said too much about vehicles but we have heard this a lot from fans on our forums and so I think we understand the expectation. At this point though, we don’t have anything to say about vehicles.
