G4TV.com has posted a great video depicting more of The Old Republic’s story. As much as I wanted Knights of the Old Republic 3, the storyline and gameplay for The Old Republic is looking better and better with every video that is released for it.

“BioWare continues to flesh out the deep Star Wars: The Old Republic universe backstory with the fourth Lance Henriksen-narrated Time Line trailer. While not the most visually stirring type of trailer, fans of the Star Wars universe and BioWare will appreciate the fireside-chat like retelling.”

Finally, some information on how you’re going to pay for your monthly subscriptions to The Old Republic have surfaced.

“According to video game site VG246,

LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez has told GamesIndustry.biz that while no specific business model details have yet been announced for the forthcoming BioWare-developed MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic, a variety of options might be utilized – including subscriptions and micro-transactions – in order to appeal globally.

For those readers wondering, subscription is a business model currently used on Star Wars: Galaxies; you pay a monthly fee and you play the game. Micro-transaction means you pay for only the game itself and for whatever additional content you want. Normally it’s not needed for the game, but the balance for that in some MMOs makes it seem like those who pay for stuff have an advantage. We will have to wait and see, but having both would be very unique and interesting– a staple of both Bioware and Lucasarts.

Thanks to DarthHater.com, we have a chance to have a look at some of the Stormtrooper Gameplay footage, which is pretty cool.

“Today’s last and final demonstration of the PAX Star Wars: The Old Republic demo shows off trooper gameplay footage. Oh also – /dance confirmed in this demo! We also got to see a little glimpse of the death/respawn system – RETURN TO MEDCENTER is the death option in the demo when the person demoing the game died. We are hoping to have the full gameplay demo video up today if everything goes well with the bandwidth at PAX”
