PAX 2009: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic PC download available
Posted on 06 September 2009 by Austin Golding
BioWare and LucasArts teamed up several years ago to bring one of the best games ever made, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, to gamers. However, the PC version of the RPG hasn’t been made available in stores for some time. That just changed today. At the end of a presentation for BioWare’s upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic during PAX 2009, BioWare gave out codes to the attendees to download a free version of the game via Steam.
Naturally we checked ot see if the game was available for download and purchase via Steam and sure enough there it was. The game is also available viaDirect2Drive. Both outlets are selling the game for $9.99 which is a true bargain to check out one of the best games of all time. And if you are at PAX and happen to miss today’s presentation, it will be repeated tomorrow at 11 am. If we were betting people we suspect that BioWare still has some Steam codes for KOTOR to give away.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Hands-On
Posted on 31 August 2009 by Austin Golding
“One of the most hotly anticipated PC games on GameSpot at the moment is Lucasarts and BioWare’s upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Mixing George Lucas’ epic sci-fi universe with BioWare’s successful role-playing experience seems like a pretty safe bet after the success of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series. That game mixed successful MMO pillars, such as combat, progression, and exploration with something BioWare excels at: compelling, narrative-rich storylines. Announced late last year, details about the game have slowly emerged since then, and so far, we’ve seen a number of Empire and Republic classes, including the bounty hunter, smuggler, trooper and Sith. We finally got a brief play of SWTOR as a Sith warrior at GamesCom 2009 in Cologne, Germany.
Before we got hands-on, we were treated to another demo and briefly introduced to the Sith homeworld of Korriban. We saw the massive pyramid-shaped Sith Academy in the distance and a quest that involved clearing a tomb of grave robbers so we could collect some valuable Sith artifacts for our quest giver. Our BioWare guide, playing as a level four character, made quick work of the raiders, as well as some giant K’Lor slugs and their smaller broodlings at which point we moved on to a familiar setting: the hands-on section from the same demo that we saw previously at E3 2009.
Playing as a Sith instead of a bounty hunter this time around, we arrived on a Sith warship with another player, with the task of disciplining the captain who has defied his superior’s orders. After a brief cutscene, we engaged in some multiplayer dialogue, which allowed both us and our party member to choose our own responses and then ultimately decide whether the captain should live or die. We saw the former decision played out at E3, so we decided to go against Sith convention and show mercy. The captain didn’t take our kindness for granted and requested that we help him defeat some Jedi scum about to land on the ship.
Our decision to save the captain instantly resulted in a new path opening up to us. Instead of taking a right turn toward a shuttle bay elevator, our route instead took us left, into a different area of the ship. The basic controls are all very standard for an MMO: right-clicking the mouse selects other characters, powers are mapped to the keyboard’s top button row, and W, A, S, and D keys are used to move. Your character won’t automatically attack an enemy within range however, so you will need to keep using those powers to make mincemeat of those Republic dogs. Certain powers, such as basic attacks, earn action points, while others use them. After fighting a few low-level Republic troopers, we’d earned enough to use the Force charge power. This ranged attack lets you perform a huge leap attack to quickly get up close to an enemy. The impale power, meanwhile, stabs your lightsaber through an enemy for a powerful attack. Area stun temporarily freezes enemies in your vicinity, while Force choke lets you perform Darth Vader’s powerful signature move. It won’t be enough to kill Jedi apprentices and knights, but it will sap a fair amount of their health and feels totally badass. If you succumb to the powers of the light side and die, you won’t necessarily have to begin the quest from the start, and numerous items, such as bacta cylinders, will be able to revive you. Finally, we were also told by a BioWare staffer that you will earn more powers through player-versus-environment main and side quests.
For more information about the Sith class read our recently published Q&A with SWTOR’s creative director James Ohlen and associate lead designer Emmanuel Lusinchi and visit gamescom.gamespot.com for the rest of our coverage from GamesCom 2009.”

Star Wars on Display

“I’ve set up a gallery of pictures I’ve taken of Star Wars costumes, props, models and other artifacts from various exhibits. This gallery includes pictures of items from all six movies andThe Clone Wars, as well as other Lucasfilm productions. It’s a lot of fun to be able to examine these items first-hand, and I hope those who weren’t able to attend the exhibits will enjoy the photos.
Star Wars: The Magic of Myth – The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2001)
The first major public showing of Star Wars production items, this exhibit was created by the Smithsonian Institute in 1997, initially featuring artifacts and artwork from the original trilogy. By the time the exhibit made its way to Houston, where I was able to see it, a number of items from Episode I had been added. (You’ll have to pardon the lack of clarity in a few of these photos–this was before the era of digital photography, after all. The Sith Lords, in particular, seemed intent not to have their picture taken.)
Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination – Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (2007)
This was an impressive display of artifacts from all six Star Wars films, with a notable emphasis on hardware. I’ve always been fascinated by the droids of Star Wars, and I was able to take lots of pictures of them at this exhibit.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Space Center Houston (2008)
Timed to the launch of the animated movie and TV series, this exhibit consisted primarily of maquettes and artwork from The Clone Wars. It also featured some props from the films, the highlight of which was Obi-Wan’s starfighter from Attack of the Clones. (And if anyone knows where that mysterious “organic blaster” can be seen in Episode II, please let me know!)
The Cinema of George Lucas – Space Center Houston (2009)
This exhibit featured artifacts from many different Lucasfilm productions. I’m sure the Indiana Jones costume has been on display before, but this had to have been the first time so many production items from Willow were available for public viewing.
Just for fun, here are some sets of pictures sorted by tag:
Anakin
Luke
Padme
Leia
Han
Obi-Wan
R2-D2
C-3PO
Jedi
Sith
Lucas
Enjoy the pictures!”
