The next Star Wars: KotOR preview is the one at Gamespy. Here's something about the role cutscenes will play in the game:
In addition to telling the majority of the story, the game's cutscenes add some arcade-style action to the RPG mix. You get to take an active role in the cutscenes, whether it's manning the cannons of your Corellian freighter or riding a swoop bike. It's a different approach to cutscenes for sure, but I'm still undecided as to whether I like it or not. On one hand, it's cool to have an active role in these happenings, but some of the most enjoyable moments I've had with console RPGs consisted of sitting back and watching an excellent cutscene. |
