E3 will be June 7-9. I am wondering how much news we will hear about TOR in the weeks leading up to E3? I bet news will be limited as they hoard it for the big announcements at E3.

What do you think? Do you care to speculate on what big announcements they will have?

E3 starts tomorrow. I honestly have no idea what they may reveal. I think the big things we will hear about are Raids, and Pvp . Maybe the details of another flashpoint.

The minor stuff we may hear more detail on may be the large variety of vehicle mounts or the large variety of races in the game; although I doubt they will tell us the number of playable races. I guess they could reveal details on a new companion.

We know the playable demo will be showcasing Tatooine and the Sith Empire, so I imaging we will hear a lot about Tatooine specific things like Sandpeople and Jawas. I hope the raid talk spins off more details on loot and its relationship on crafting. The more I think about the demo being on Tatooine, Jawas, and Luke & Anakin tinkering in the shop, I hope this creates a good setting for more crafting information.

Thanks for that link Cy. I am working from home today and may try and get the feed running in the background.

Here are some screenshots of TOR at E3.

And here are the Darth Hater screenshots Dissection. I have said it before, but I will say it again: I love their dissections.

I'm really starting to admire Darth Hater's work as well. I still don't have a PC set up at home, and it is just too cumbersome to do too much on my phone, so I try and squeeze in as much as I can at work. A couple more weeks, and then I'll be back up and running at home too.

Has there been any rumors or discussion on system requirements for this game? I'm guessing the graphics will be pretty intense for most systems at launch.

No system requirements so far. Some of the screenshots in the past have been very detailed, others no so much. Being an MMO I think the graphics will be very scalable with the game designed to be playable on a majority of existing computers. But the detail (armor reflection, lighting, complex shadowing, etc.) on some of the screenshots makes me think the guys with great computers are in for a treat.
