Lightsaber Upgrades

[BurningZero]

what are you guy's thoughts on the crystals that upgrade your lightsaber?

 

i think IGN.com said something about it

 

 

 

i hope they put in a white saber color XD

 

 

i love TSL saber color mods lol

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Perhaps, I don't expect much anything deeper than the already known weapons upgrades from DMC or GoW. They're all action games.

[adamqd]

yeah, I heard you'll be able to Pimp your hilt (and Clothing) in between levels, Don't know if blade color or attributes will be changeable/upgradeable...

[BurningZero]

man.

 

lets start a petition for a white saber!

[Ctrl Alt Del]

IF Vader allow him to use other color that's not the red.

[Hayden Kered]

Apparently the Apprentice can be redeemed so I would say the use of a Jedi blade would be in order. Plus if he is supposed to be "undercover" and all of his missions are covert then what better way to gain trust by disguising himself as a Jedi.

 

Also if the hilt will be customizable then I wouldn't doubt that the crystal would be.

 

I think the upgrades will be similar to lightsaber upgrades in KotOR 1 & 2.

They said the lightsaber will be customizable with new colors and powerup crystals. Definitely a cool feature I think. Though I hope they stick with the traditional colors, I know some players like all the yellows and whites and stuff but the g-canon colors will always be green, red, and blue with purple on the borderline and thats how I personally like it to be.

[adamqd]

Agreed, I love yellow sabers in the comics and games, but they were seldom used around the time of the movies in-universe and in reality. Blue Green and Red will do me

What exactly does it mean to "upgrade" a lightsaber? An un-"upgraded" lightsaber certainly can cut through virtually anything except a few select materials (or a very large amount of durasteel).

[Jeff]

Maybe make it more powerful when combined with force powers? Or give boosts to your different powers like the force points are supposed to do. Not really sure in this type of game.

[TKA-001]

I'm personally hoping that it won't have to do with force powers. Lightsabers may be many things, but I'd prefer not magic swords.

Well, what's with Mace ability to nullify the Force Storm effect with his lightsaber? That may be sole Force's work, but maybe that could be an add-on.

[TKA-001]

Lightsabers deflecting other types of energy isn't a power, it's just what the blade does.

[Serpentine Cougar]

I'm personally holding out hope that they include a brown lightsaber.

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding.

[PoiuyWired]

I would rather them including the oldschool ancient lightsaber with wires connected to the belt.

[TheProphet]

It definitely will be nice to be able to have different lightsaber colors. I think customization in the lightsaber is important, it sort of reflects the character of the one using it. So this is a feature I am very excited about.

[dubbleD]

if there were white crystals in kotor, then theres definately white crystals for saber colour in force unleashed. just look for it when you get the game lol

my bro managed to buy a white crystal in kotor =P

[Rev7]

^

Wasn't it a silver crystal?

 

EDIT: Post #1111!

[TKA-001]

If by silver you mean white, then yes, silver. I honestly don't see how the "silver" blade in K2 is silver as opposed to white.

[Rev7]

It looks almost...like a greyed out white, if I remember correctly. But, that is just off of sheer memory.

[TKA-001]

Eh, I'm not sure how a silver blade would look different from a white. It's like trying to describe what a "black" saber would be.

[Rev7]

^ Well, black?

[Ztalker]

I think TKA means the core of a lightsaber. It's always white. If you observe closely it's just white with an edge of the favorite colour. That way, Silver and white blades look just the same. Same goes for a black blade...it would be white with a black edge...which would look strange and not be black at all

 

Anyways, maybe the game will feature the same unlock system as Need for Speed Most Wanted? That you can pick an lightsaber, force or clothing upgrade after every boss you beat.

It'd look kinda darkish-grey, I think....

I'd hope there's a lot of bosses, then! I think I'd want upgrades just slightly more often. They make you feel like an uber h4xx0r. 'Course, the game's already gonna make you feel like you could pwn anything even without upgrades....

Obviously a Black saber would be the one with the afro and the blings.

 

As for Silver/White saber, it should be noted that colored sabers would quite often have its core tainted to the outter color of the saber, for obvious reasons, you are seeing the bright white saber thru a layer of colored light.

 

So silver would have a white core with a slightly greyish side, instead of being tainted with blue/yellow/etc as some white saber arts would have done.
