RPGamer: What kinds of mini-games will there be in KOTOR?
Casey Hudson: We have added several mini-games, to give players the fast-paced and visceral part of the Star Wars experience that you normally wouldn?t be able to do within the context of an RPG engine. So, when your ship is attacked by Sith fighters, you?ll be able to hop in the gun turret and blast them yourself. Also, you?ll be able to engage in illegal races with modified swoop racers on a number of worlds.
We?ve also added a card game called Pazzak, so that you can gamble with characters throughout the game. It?s somewhat of a collectible card game, so you?ll be able to find new cards throughout the game that will help you play better against your next opponent. This minigame alone has proven to be lots of fun, so we think that it will be a nice diversion for people to be able to try some different types of gameplay within the overall experience.
Arcady goodness!
