Daily Game Net has written a preview of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Here's a snip about weapons in the game:
OK, so everyone will probably want to slice and dice with the lightsaber and do little else in the weapons department. If you count yourself among that party, you can rest assured that you’ll not only have access to two-bladed sabers and be able to wield two at once, but you’ll also be able to customize your lightsaber to your heart’s content.
Each lightsaber has three different slots for crystals, one of which determines the saber’s color, the other two of which control various power-related upgrades: the ability to slice through metal and therefore droids, the ability to widen the beam and better deflect blaster shots, or the overall ability to increase energy output and make a stronger all-purpose saber.
If lightsabers aren’t your bag of tea, you’ll also be able to choose from a wide variety of Star Wars friendly weapons, including blaster rifles, vibroblades, gaffi sticks, grenades and, if we’re lucky, a bowcaster or two. |
