EA and BioWare are at Gamescom and as always, so are we. Throughout the week, we will bring content straight from Gamescom including hands-on impressions of the Ancient Hypergates Warzone and more. Make sure to visit back for more content. To kick off the festivities, EA held their usual press conference that covered Star Wars: The Old Republic. Even though it may not contain any new information on future content, it is worth watching to meet the new General Manager of BioWare Matthew Bromberg. The video embed of the conference is below, the portion you will want to pay attention to starts at 51:34.
Update: From Allison Berryman on the SWTOR forums
Hey everyone, just to be clear on what was said during the presentation - Terror from Beyond, a new Operation, is on its way next month, and we have more content updates coming after it, including the new Warzone and Space Combat Missions. We have lots of exciting new content coming!

That video was the best example of why swtor is dying. Seeemed like they spent hours on all the other games and then its like oh yeah heres swtor btw.
Cant believe how stupid EA is i hope other companys see what ea did to bioware and not sell to them. Just sad

Posted 8/15/2012 2:23:32 PMNo kidding. Swtor is the most embarrassing game of all time just due to all the money and names attached to it. Things went wrong soon as they decided to go with that trash hero engine and then bioware austin to make it. "Two wrongs don't make a right" as they like to say. I am just so glad every single day that I did not waste my money on the 150 dollar set that I once had my money on but decided to cancel that and go with a standard game. I would be sick permanently with this game instead of just laughing at it with the way it is.

Posted 8/15/2012 1:35:30 AMI'm gonna continue my sub for a little while till I see how GW2 starts off, but tbh, that dude was a limp dick, he sold NOTHING during that presentation. I love SWTOR but I can't even defend that shit, nor do I want to.

Posted 8/14/2012 11:54:28 PMYou can just tell how much EA cares about SWTOR just by watching this presentation it was sad watching this a minute or 2 of stage time and the guy doing it sounded like he was dead on the inside.

Posted 8/14/2012 10:56:08 PMGood lord, I almost want to resub so I can cancel all over again. Presenting nothing at all, literally standing there and saying nothing, would have been better and more energizing than that. I feel like they must be filming some kind of The Office- or Parks and Rec- style awkward/funny mocku-com starring the Bioware staff. Jesus.

Posted 8/14/2012 9:34:50 PMAs a big fan and huge supporter of this game, I was not happy with that presentation at all. The last team was doing it better. The hk preview gave me shivers and this just made me shake my head. EA should just leave Bioware alone and let them do their thing.
