Star Wars: The Old Republic and Stylized Realism

Edge Online offers an interview piece on stylized realism in BioWare’s upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

“Rather than approach the game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, from a harsh realism perspective, we want to create what we call ‘stylized realism,'” explained Greg Zeschuk, co-founder of BioWare.

James Ohlen, studio creative director, added, “We went with stylized realism because we want to have a timeless quality to our art. We wanted to essentially be something that could fit into any era. We also wanted it to be very heroic.”
