The Stratos Group has previewed Bioware's Star Wars RPG Knights of the Old Republic - still no screenshots available from that one though:KOR (note: KOR = Knights of the Old Republic) is, as most Bioware games are, a role-playing experience. There will be 6 classes, 3 races, and all the requisite characterization for the main character. KOR will be party-based, of course, but there are some changes. Most notably, the party will likely perform on their own, while you control the character of your choosing. And, the party now contains only three members as opposed to the normal six from preceding games. Much like other Bioware games there will be romances, and the game will revolve around the main character. But most of this is just normal Bioware. What's new here is the inclusion of the Star Wars and Jedi to the mix. The requisite skills, items, and villains present in all Bioware titles will now be filled with such familiar pieces as Blasters and Light Sabers, with Rancor, Battle Droids, and Dark Jedi filling in as the enemies. Of the 8 planets in the game, there will be Star Wars-inspired cities, jungles, water worlds, and even Tatooine itself. On the topic, we were told that there would be over 100 unique enemies and villains, as well as hundreds of items. To top it off, everyone will be able to own their own hyperspace freighter, which is reportedly going to serve as a base and home for the player.
