- The player starts as a trained Sith, who masters various Force powers (e.g. Force Speed, Force Push, Force Lightning, etc...). It is said that in the progress of the game, you will achieve greater power and grow even stronger than Vader and the Emperor, eventually.

Is the player character also a direct descendent of Revan? 
The latter would explain the former.

Why go with a descendant of Revan when you can get the real deal - after all, we do not know what happened to him...

I'm so waiting to hear that Revan died of colon cancer in the Unknown Regions. It'd make him seem more human, somehow. Though it be tough to laugh at without sounding like a total jerk. 
Anyhow, Luke_Sparkewalker over in games has scanned some of the Game Informer article. Text is hard to make out, but the pictures are nice. Shaak Ti (specifically named) seems to have let her standards of dress get a bit lax since the last time we saw her, though she's not as topless as she was in AotC concept art...

Ugh, Hayden's doing this one? Now I'm officially scared.
And I so want that to happen to Revan.

I third colon-cancered Revan! I thought that was what happened to Boba for a while but... oh well.
Reguardless this game looks cool. I have no problems with it yet, except that I don't want to see Shaak Ti portrayed as a skank like Silri.
Looks like you guys were right about the blond Imp being Juno. Maris Brood is the Zebrak. I can't quite make out the Samari's name... is it General Kolto? He has the Rebellion symbol on his pauldron.

Ditto. I'm not shelling out a few hundred for a game engine for just one game. Not even two, if they push it. 
Sounds cool, though. Shaak Ti doesn't seem like her old self, however. More like another Silri.
So you'd rather shell out a thousand for a pc that can run it?

No, no! The skankier the better! After having visions of her self being killed that never came to pass, Shaak Ti has now gone thoroughly insane... and gone "native." Heck, if she doesn't attempt to seduce the player character, I will be very disappointed.

As opposed to buying what amounts to a fancy CD/DVD drive that hooks up to the television? Yeah, I think I'd rather go for the PC, though I'm not going to be buying this game in any case.

My hopes for this have gone downhill in a car without brakes, however i'll hold out hope a while longer yet, details are still sketchy afteral. Still i get the feeling this could be a big disapointment - the fact it isn't coming to the PC (which has proven a much more popular platform for these sorts of games in the past see: Jedi Knight series) is one major disapointment already, although as someone pointed out it would require a powerful pc to run anyway.
One thing missing from details currently is any hint of non-linear gameplay, choice, or customisation. That can't be good.. Even the characters name is locked in this time i see, while that saves us from having an important character known only as 'The Exile' in canon, its still a tad irritating you won't be able to name the protagonist at all.

Customization does not a good game make. You can dye your hair whatever color you want, but if you've got lice nobody's still going to want to touch it.

Jedi Academy allowed customization, yet Jedi Outcast is a far superior game.
If they have good gameplay and a good story, it will all work out.
