Burrie Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Here are the latest screenshots as found at the official site and gamesdomain... Now who could that bloke be that the PC is firing at? I wonder... The Ebon Hawk peacefully rests at Tattooine. The PC engaging... Kell Dragons? Peaceful surroundings on Manaan(I think) A friendly welcome to Korriban(beautiful picture) The PC and his allies dukes it out with several Dark Jedi on the streets of Tattooine. Note that Mission Vao is using a blade against the Dark Jedi... talk about suicidal attacks. A character poses off his beautiful helmet and sword, unaware of the dangers behind him. And finally, another shot of the player engaging Dark Jedi using Force Lightning. EDIT : Scratch that suicidal line above... apparantly, there are also blades created with cortosis which would make the situation seem less suicidal.

Taos Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Everytime.......I see new shots, it just drives me crazy!! I mean these are incredible looking! The only thing is.....it still looks like they have the lightsabers, squared off at the tip, I don't know why this is, but I hope it gets fixed!

KaBuTaR Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 yeah... they are REALLY square in some of the pics (the one with the Dark Jedi on Tatooine especially) - eek. Hope they fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Nice pics and comments, Burrie! I think those things you called Kell Dragons (?) are actually the beasts off of Tremors. And, using a sword on a Sith would still be suicidal just because she would probabaly lack the skills to use it as a Sith would. I think we should all start posting about the tips of the lightsabers on the official boards! (the devs do take some opinions from there) The new screens keep on getting more detailed and more beautiful. I am drooling bad........ Great find, Burrie!

Toa Tahu Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Thanks for the speldid screenshots,Burrie. Everytime I see a screenshot I doubt that my computer would be able to play KotOR. Anyway,the guy at the second last picture...seems to be carrying a sword fit for...Morrowind?What is that beautiful sword doing in...KotOR?And same goes for the helmet,too!

Burrie Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Let's see, it seems that there will be simple blades in the game, including a rather neat double-bladed sword that a Rakata is carrying. Plus, there are also special "cortosis" blades which are capable of somewhat resisting a lightsaber's blade. As for the helmet, someone over at theforce.net literature forums speculates that it's a Mandalorian helmet... and now that I look at it, I just think that it might be one of those as well. The helmet resembles the helmet that Lord Mandalore wears. They both also have this "T-slit" on the helmet. Plus, in the comics, the helmet also is more of a mask, just like the object in the screenshot. For reference, here's a picture from the comic with Lord Mandalore... ignore the bloke on the right.

Jedi Apprentice Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 The plot thickens...... With us now thinking about the Mandalorians being in the game I don't think there is really any limit to how deep this game's story can actually be. I am starting to now not mind the delays and am gaining a new respect for the Developers. Good info there, Burrie. I hope we get to fight some Mandalorians though and maybe even get to learn more about them in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrie Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Methinks I'm getting a wee bit too much praise here First of all, I didn't find these screenshots, I only found them via swknights.com and decided to dedicate a single thread to them. Second, the idea that it's a mandalorian mask comes from theforce.net literature forums, not from me. To continue on a bit about the Mandalorians, they originally featured in the Sith Wars part of the "Tales of the Jedi" comics. They attacked when the Sith fleet slowly began to grow, but the Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma made a pact with Lord Mandalore(leader of the Mandalorians) after besting him in battle. At that point, the Mandalorians became an important part of the Sith Fleet and assisted them during the Sith Wars. In the end, Lord Mandalore presumably died to the beasts on one of the moons of Ossus. One of the Mandalorians found his mask in the jungles there, and took on the mantle of Lord Mandalore. Judging from the background that was on the old site, the Mandalorians began to wage a war on their own against the Republic which they lost as well. This fascinating tidbit in the Star Wars history has yet to be factored in any one of the established Star Wars literature, and I am looking forward what I can learn about these wars... I especially wonder what Canderous Ordo will say about it. To be honest, seeing as how the Mandalorians had already played a pretty important part during this moment of SW history(first as an ally of the Sith Empire, then a solo campaign against the Republic), I would've been somewhat dissapointed if we didn't get to see, interact and mayhaps fight any Mandalorians at all in the game. Plus, I think the trailer did show a ship which might be a Mandalorian fighter, namely the Slave I look-alike. Mind you, the firespray class ship isn't officialy branded as a Mandalorian ship(AFAIK), but I would't be surprised if Bioware would use the Slave I as basis for a Mandalorian starfighter. You know, it would be kinda neat of the Mandalorians would side with the Republic for this second Sith War... I can already see it now : The player and his Republic allies are surrounded by Sith troopers who are slowly moving in on them(think Geonosis Arena)... the situation seems to be hopeless and you're pretty much fighting to take down as many troopers as you can before you personally die... suddenly, Carth shouts "Look!" and points to the sky, where a Mandalorian fleet comes flying down to save the day.

ultimaster Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Awesome screens, haven't any of 'em yet, but there's always somebody a few steps ahead of me. For those (all:p ) of you who think these look amazing, just wait until they're seen in motion. It will be like those pics times a billion!!!!!
