The things you can find at Gamespot

Hey,

 

I know that this might be some old news to some, but I decided to finally check out the Gamespot gallery for KotOR... and there is some rather interesting pictures there that can't be found at different sites. I have seen people refer to these pictures before, so like I said, most of you might've seen most of them. Still, for those who haven't, I recommend you check them out..

 

Around page 18 on their gallery page, they'll go into some exclusive shots... here are some of my favorites... Note that these are old shots and things are bound to have changed. In fact, some of these shots are really funny to see what some characters looked like before they were placed in the game.

Concept art for a Wookiee... an early sketch of Zaalbar, apparantly.

 

kotor_screen112.jpg

A Sith droid of sorts...

 

kotor_screen091.jpg

I've seen this picture before at the swknights.com forum... and it has been confirmed that this is a Mandalorian in full battle armour.

 

kotor_screen080.jpg

This one absolutely floored me... look who it might've been :D

 

kotor_screen079.jpg

A very nice concept art for Jolee Bindo

 

kotor_screen068.jpg

Concept art for the inside of the Ebon Hawk

 

kotor_screen064.jpg

kotor_screen065.jpg

Concept art for someone named Sareth Deran... I wonder who she is?

 

kotor_screen059.jpg

I believe we recognize this character by now.

 

And in the end, there are a lot more shots in there. Some very interesting concept art here and there, they really have some cool screenshots there(in particular a few of Darth Malak)... I suggest you check them out.

Yes I have, Kazaa Lite

Ah ok, that is probably the problem, there is a file in Kazaa lite that blocks images from various places...I can't remember which one or what to edit to fix it, I'll try and find it after my lectures..

 

[edit]Well I found this:

I can't view screenshots on GameSpot. Screens on every other Internet site I visit are OK. What's going on?

Chances are that ad blocking or firewall software on your computer is blocking them. A common culprit is Kazaa Lite, which has a large list of blocked sites, including Image.com.com. GameSpot screenshots are served from Image.com.com. For assistance in unblocking Image.com.com from your ad blocking or firewall software, please consult your software's manual or publisher.

 

Here is one suggestion that may help:

 

You can remove the entry line that contains image.com.com from the hosts file. It will look something like this:

 

# 127.0.0.1 image.com.com

 

In Win 2000 the hosts file is in: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\, XP is similar. Just be sure not to edit hosts.sam because it is only a sample file.

 

Caution: Editing your registry can cause serious problems that may require reinstalling the operating system on your PC. GameSpot (and CNET Networks) is not responsible for any problems resulting from using the Windows Registry Editor--please use it at your own risk. As well, GameSpot recommends that you back up your host file before you edit it.

which is from GameSpot's FAQ, that should fix image viewing for GameSpot at least, but I remember the 'image.com.com' line isn't the only line you need to delete to unblock all images from various servers..I think IGN might be one of them..oh well.

 

Hope this helped :)

 

btw, recent versions of Kazaa Lite don't seem to have the blocking in anymore, and should be safer to use all round.

Well, well, well... all credit goes out to Psyduck at the Bioware forums for this one. He found two poster-sized images for KotOR somewhere at Gamespot...

 

An image I haven't seen before showing Bastilla Shan(?) attacking a Sith Droid

 

The box art in poster size

 

Only drawback are the Gamespot logos. Once I get home(currently in college), I'll see if I can remove them... unless someone else wants to try it out :)

It's working now, and it's only the image.com.com I removed, there are some others who block advertising and that sort of stuff and they don't have to show up. Thanx

 

Now since it's only concept art I still wonder how it will actually look in the game, and how much mandalorian armor has changed over the years, just lake a look at this for those too lazy to read his entire bio here's the line i mean

reclaimed his mandalorian armor

Just wonder how much different it will be from the concept art, but there are some points that look alike and they already said that the armor will fit to the body of everyone.
