Gamespot reports about Star Wars: Galaxies from E 3:
In addition to meeting key characters from the films, players will be able to recruit companions to travel with them--for instance, they'll be able to build or buy their own droids, and they'll also be able to train their own pets, like Tattooine's huge, furry banthas. They'll also be able to fight against all sorts of recognizable enemies from the Star Wars universe, such as stormtroopers and gamorrean guards. We saw a demonstration of the game's combat against stormtroopers and an AT-AT--it's similar to EverQuest's pseudo-turn-based system, in that player characters and monsters attack each other in succession in real-time. We also watched the demo player character run, circle about, strafe, and lie prone while fighting--maneuvering will provide extra tactical advantages. |
