To be honest, the new content revealed didn't really excite me too much so far (except the details on player ships).
The trailers weren't very awe-inspiring, it's a real shame that bioware continues to post gameplay with anti aliasing turned off, because the game looks 400x better in the clips and videos where it's on. I also think the complete lack of music in some of them added to the yawn factor.
I also came across a revalation, none of this is really new anymore. SWTOR doesn't have that new car smell to it anymore, after following the game every day since october 2008 it's hard to get excited I guess.
The g4 gameplay walkthrough DID get me excited though. Korriban looks massive and awesome, and the animations are looking smooth and polished. The republic group gameplay kinda let me down though because it showed wow-like pve. The consular just sat in the back spamming heals on a main tank while dps killed a giant mob and a jedi cleared adds. While I know they need to have this in some form, something a little different would have been appreciated...
We still have a couple of days left though, hopefully bioware will have a few more tricks up their sleeves.
