Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the games-to-lust-after dept.

LukeG writes "Despite the many impressive efforts in recent years of Lucas Arts Entertainment, a 'definitive' Star Wars game has not been forthcoming. Yet in 'Knights of the Old Republic', Bioware may have found the genre and approach most likely to satiate many fans' appetites. Read all about this fabulous role-playing game, in this brand new preview."

    What a cryptic preview. Appearantly the title of this new game is "Server Error in '/' Application."

    What does that mean? In what strange direction are they taking the Star Wars universe? I can't wait to see what the Slash Application is, and what the Jedi will have to do to stop it.

    But most importantly, will I be able to choose to play as either the Server or the Served?

    And I've never seen a preview with source code to the game either. Anyone know what this does?

  2. Certainly is a definitive game by mccalli · · Score: 5, Funny
    It was called, unsurprisingly, Star Wars.

    It's the wireframe arcade machine, where you blast the Ties, shoot the tops of towers, then hurtle down the trench to release your photon torpedoes and blow up the Death Star.

    Kids today. Pah. Why, this 20 year plus classic is still being aped in the first level of Star Wars:Rogue Leader II game for Nintendo GameCube. I know - I have that game, have played it, 'quite' like it but not as much as SuperMonkeyBall. Which itself...err...'apes' Marble Madness. Another ancient arcade machine.

    Kids. Pah. And again I say...Pah!
