Latest cinematic is here: http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/return
I'll embed it as soon as an embeddable copy's available. This is not the video that aired during the EA press conference, although parts of it were in the Choose video. It's the Intro Cinematic which I'd assume means this is what we see the first time we (finally) play. |

Do you think they'll announce a launch date at E3?

Here's a youtube version of Return. It will likely get pulled, but here it is for as long as it lasts...

Regarding the release date, my expectation is still september/october with the official announcement coming at PAX Prime in August (26th-28th IIRC).
They always save the best stuff for PAX... |

Of course, I could be way off and either the beta has been going on for a while, or they're just doing one. |

Closed beta has been going on for a long time. I don't have any idea how wide it is, the NDA is still in place, but I get the impression there are a lot of testers. I just don't happen to be one myself or know anybody who is. If I had to guess I'd say they likely have thousands of testers going right now, if not tens of thousands. They're not just in 'friends and family' testing at this point, i.e. internal testing. That's what I think at least...
Open beta I would be surprised to see run more than 3 weeks to a month. They're primarily there to serve as server stress tests, at least in my experience, and to give potential customers a bit of a preview. They're pretty far along in testing I think. I know they've had players advance hundreds of hours into their story quests, and things like that. I don't think, however, raiding (which is being unveiled at E3 this week...) has been on the external test server yet. Although I'm sure it's already been heavily tested in-house. |

Ah, cool. I was afraid that any official announcement would be followed by another 3 to 6 months of testing. Glad to hear that beta testing is well under way (even if it is closed beta).

With no news on EQ:Next in forever, I'm guessing that ToR will be my game of choice when it drops. This looks pretty cool, and as long as they have PvP balanced correctly from the start, I will be able to deal with the faction war.
SWG was great until they ****ed up PvP balance hardcore (I played a Polearm class) and couldn't kill anyone with a gun. And Commando's with flamethrowers could 1-2 shot anyone dead. |
