E3 brings us a preview of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic at IGN. Here's something about the interface:
First of all, the interface for the PC version hasn't even been implemented yet. It's still straight from Xbox and right now the only way to play is by controlling your character with the keyboard. This is clearly not going to be how it's done in the end. I queried BioWare reps about this very thing and they mentioned that they're still trying to figure out just what they're going to be doing. Point and click will be there and it's supposed to be "very, very intuitive." Obviously, if anyone knows what they're doing when it comes to interfaces and RPG games, it's BioWare. These kids have it down cold. Which, ironically, may be why some PC RPG fanatics could be a little depressed by Knights of the Old Republic... I mean, will it be as deep, fulfilling, and approachable as Baldur's? |
