MetalMark Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have found a lot of impossible screenshots for KOTOR I to name a few: you're a Jedi on Taris there are sith on Dantooine saber battles on Taris places I have never been sith I haven't seen before on korriban some other people looking different(Gendar, Rukil, Uthar) Rakgouls invading the outcast village and some more Now is there so much different between the pc and xbox version or are these screenshots just impossible. http://www.imperial-revenge.org/v6_sw/ue/kotor/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Nova Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Alot of screenshots are taken and sent out while the game is under development. Chances are they were either testing or toying around with something when they took them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 You should check out Kotor 2 previews, you'll laugh yourself to death... I remember my local games mag showed a screen of Kreia and PC fighting with a Cyan and Bronze double bladed lightsaber, whilst wearing Star Forge robes, on Paragaas fighting some droids. Even the game box itself joins...it shows a PC with a double bladed lightsaber, fighting on the Telos Plateau, right after the crash. In short terms: Scripts change, ideas change, and people forget stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 You should check out Kotor 2 previews, you'll laugh yourself to death... If you check the Screenshots section on Starwarsknights.com there are some of those early pre-release screenshots as well, showing how some characters have had their models changed quite a bit during development. (The Handmaiden in the second screenshot from the end on the last page for example.) There are also some creatures/droids there you won't find in the game normally. Even the game box itself joins...it shows a PC with a double bladed lightsaber, fighting on the Telos Plateau, right after the crash. In short terms: Scripts change, ideas change, and people forget stuff. I think this is a marketing thing. Either Bioware or the publishers want to show off something that looks interesting with little regard to if it can actually be experienced in the game. They have done this earlier as well. For example on the back of the Baldurs Gate II:Throne of Bhaal CD box all three screenshots depict situations that you cannot encounter while playing the game that very doubtfully come from changes to the story during development (Beholders in the Oasis and Demogorgon in front of Balthazar's monastery).

Emperor Devon Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I think this is a marketing thing. Either Bioware or the publishers want to show off something that looks interesting with little regard to if it can actually be experienced in the game. More likely something from the alpha-testing phase, as there are screenshots of Sleheyron there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord ignarn Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well some of those things can be done now using the right mods, so don´t worry if you also see new screenshots as "imposible as those". About it, you can also check the official games page and see the screenshots that were released then. Very funny also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoesGuy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Not to say that is completely impossible to obtain a lightsaber on Peragus. KSE anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yes, but that isn't intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoesGuy Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I know, I'm just saying it's not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord ignarn Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 If you play "legaly", yes. I mean, not using mods, KSE and so on. As the game is intended to be played you must be worth of your lightsaber. In topic, sometimes those screenshots can give us ideas about the cut content of the game or new ideas for a mod.

TheGreenGoblin Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 A little off-topic, but I remember watching a preview for KoTOR II a long while ago, that showed off Telos and they had all of these cool weather (primarly dark skies and thunder) effects. That was a change I still can't understand for the life of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 ^^^ Seen 'em too... I think they did that for story development. It certainly looked cool, but it would make the story a bit...unbelievable. After all, you do take a shuttle through it. By logics, it should be destroyed then. Same goes for the Citadel Station above it. The planet as it is, barren + parts of life, suits the story better, i think. Funny Telos Pic: Lightsaber @ Harbinger, Sith Assassins without any weapons? *chuckles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revenge Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi here ! I'm the webmaster of the Imperial French site Imperial-Revenge. Since a few days, screenshots have moved here : http://www.imperial-revenge.com/starwars/jeux/kotor/screenshots.php (Total update of the site) This screenshots came from the lucasarts kotor's website before the release of this game.

Maverick5770 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Another good impossible pic I thought was great was seeing Kreia on the back of the CD case with both hands. Seem a little odd to you? Sure did confuse me on my first playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feagildin Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 My favorite K2 screenshots are the ones where the PC has one of the heads from K1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 ^ Yeah, I remember seeing one with the mullet-type of face. To bad they removed it from K2 though. Now i have to pick the Obi-Wan look-alike, or the idiot-looking caucausian male Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yeah, there's several wierd screenshots in both games; like they said, they were just messing around or the game was in development. I remember a few: PC fighting rakghouls on Taris with a blue lightsaber. PC wearing Star Forge robes on Peragus. PC wearing the red KOTOR robes, wielding dual lightsabers, and fighting with a blue lightsaber-wielding Handmaiden - on Peragus. PC on Telos (I think) and wearing the old soldier clothes from KOTOR. etc. etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiestainabox Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The Day and night transitions along with weather effects are possible still, they're leftover from Neverwinter Nights. I've though of adding those effects, but It might screw up alot of the modules (Charecters disappear when it becomes night out, what are you going to do?) Anyway, I always noticed the one picture on the back of the cd case, the one that shows a massive group of people in one big fight, it looksl like they'res multiple party members they're, its hard to pick them out though...

HerbieZ Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 LOL, don't go on about Day and Night transitions, i once stared at the skyline of Taris for so long i fell asleep and woke up the next morning thinking i had just missed the nighttime part because it looked like dawn as i had moved the mouse in my slumber and faced a different way.

Darth InSidious Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 At least two K1 screenshots are from a cut Czerka base, the models lightmaps, walkmesh and layout for which are in game. Some of the lightmaps don't work right, 'though, and it appears to have been cut from Sleheyron. Also, you can get a lightsabre on Peragus/ wander around Taris with a lightsabre simply with the right code and cheats enabled Also, in the TSL trailer, I'm pretty sure you can see a character wearing the blue K1 robe in some shots in the jungle on Dxun...

Ztalker Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Also, you can get a lightsabre on Peragus/ wander around Taris with a lightsabre simply with the right code and cheats enabled To bad these are the official screenshots of the game. So you're implying the crew of Obsidian are a bunch of lame cheaters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
