Sticking with EA's press conference this afternoon, BioWare's Ray Muzyka announced that their highly anticipated MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic, will feature fully voiced characters, which is a first for the usually text-driven genre. And before leaving the stage, Ray treated us to a HOT Jedi vs Sith cinematic trailer. Check it out:

Thanks to GameTrailers for the above stream. You can also grab the video from the FileShack. Stay tuned for some mirrors!

	Jarnis 2009-06-02 #3 The first... since Everquest 2 in 2004. Okay, EQ2 gave up on "fully voiced" after a while, but at launch I think the quests were all voiced.

	terrannova 2009-06-02 #5 That's the best E3 trailer I've seen yet, so well done. I'm glad I'm done WoW just so I can play this! Well maybe if Star Trek Online fails... dang hard choice.

But it does demonstrate they have captured the atmosphere and feel of Star Wars.
