E3: Tatooine Developer Walkthrough 291x1m

So far E3 has been an explosion of new information where SWTOR is concerned, and it just doesn’t stop, thanks to this excellent walk-through video from SWTOR Director of Production Dallas Dickinson.
The video takes us through the “blazing deserts of in-game footage of the Sith Sorceror character, as well as gameplay opportunities like personal vehicle use and the dynamics of the map.
Additionally the video shows how in-mission co-op play will work in practice, as well as several of the ranged attacks available to the Sorceror and the awesome-looking ability to seeth and replenisg lost health from the Dark Side. All very exciting.
All in all, the 11 minute video is a great showcase for some exciting bits of gameplay, and Dickinson’s accompanying commentary is insightful and engaging, offering invaluable information behind the visuals, like an explanation of how co-op dialogue situations will work, and a brief XP description.
Most exciting of all is the map size suggested by the few map pop-ups, and the distance covered within the game-play itself. If we didn’t already know, it seems this game is going to be some size!
Oh, and ZOMBIES?!!!! Brilliant.
