    It really does look like UT2003/2004 Bombing Run Mode.

    Hope they allow Swoop/Speeder racing too, probably depending on how they implement the bikes (fast travel/on rails path with encounters..etc.). Though they have said they won’t be making the bikes and stuff really fast so it won’t be a totally authentic experience of tearing through Beggar’s Canyon on a stripped down ride. Underground swoop racing would be a neat thing to set up just like in actual Star Wars if the environments are large enough and the bikes fast enough. Huttball looks like it could be something if they just tighten the team idea down a bit and have a good story to back it up.

      If they add vehicle racing to the game, it’ll probably be in the form of swoop racing a la Knights of the Old Republic. After all, TOR is still technically a sequel to KOTOR.

      There was a Bioware Interview addressing Podracing months ago. ^^ It’s on what the designers call a “Wall of Crazy” where the they place ideas that they want to do but can’t atm for one reason or another. ^_^ Check it out, it’s easy to find.

    Check out this 15 minutes match of Huttball that somebody recorded at the con, particularly the epic goings-on at 12:00

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=543lyjmr7yM&feature=player_embedded

    This video is surprisingly exciting all things considered. Huttball is looking to be damn good fun.

    Not sure what to make of this. I’ve never been crazy for PVP in mmos so this doesn’t really excite me.

    The trailer looks cool, but I think that in-game this will be a mess

      I think it being a crazy mess of insanity and carnage is the point.
