BioWare Reveals The Old Republic Flashpoints
A new video shows off these cooperative, story-based multiplayer events and the place they hold in the wider game.
There are a lot of exciting potential ideas at play in Star Wars: The Old Republic, but one of the coolest is the way the development team is trying to integrate MMO gameplay with more traditional single-player role-playing.
No element of the game shows off that interplay better than Flashpoints. These cooperative story missions are available throughout the game, from early levels on into the end game. The choices you and your team make as you progress change the final outcome of the scenario, and simultaneously offer some of the best treasure and other rewards available in the game.
BioWare has released a new trailer showing off the Taral V flashpoint, but you can head over to the game's official site to read more about some of the other adventures you and your friends will be able to enjoy when the game releases, which is now looking like a timeframe near September.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
