Game News BioWare working on KoTOR MMO

[Truth]

As long as they learned from the mistakes from that other Star Wars MMO.

 

[Balor]

Well, as long as they are busy making an other grindfest, I really hope they'll give rights to make REAL Kotor 3 to Obsidian again.
And give them MORE FUCKING TIME this time.

BIO doesn't decide who makes KOTOR/SW games. And, Obsidian wnats to make KOTOR3; but LA soudned like they weren't terribly impressed.

And, oh, while I liked KOTOR2 myself, any weaknesses in that game were 85% Obsidian, 10% BIO, and 5% LA. Nice try though.

As for the topic, meh.

Ok, I've tried to avoid lowering myself to your level when reading some of your more stupid posts...

But I can't help myself here. You are a fucking idiot.

Is that the sound of Mattc rying I hear in the distance? Must be. Boo hoo! Obsidian made mistakes, and it's not all Atari's fault. Boo fuckin' hoo. As developer, it's Obsidian's job to make the game. I say 'man up'. They did. Too bad their loser fanboys haven't.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! It's Atari's fault. WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[JarlFrank]

I wish I could throw a glimpse into Volly's brain just to see what's in there.

On the other hand, I don't really want to see what's in there.

Wrong. Atari had fuck all to do with KOTOR2. It was Lucasarts fault for only giving Obsidian a year's development time.

You are wrong, yet again.

 

[Volourn]

Oops. Brain fart.

I'm too used to reading the NWN2 forums. L0L

 

[kingcomrade]

Volourn how often do you go to church (don't lie, is it one or twice a week?)

 

[Trash]

Who gives a fuck about an mmorpg? In the end all it will be is grinding, grinding and more grinding. With a lightsaber.

 

[kingcomrade]

Maybe instead of EXP you get midichlorians, which increases your Jedi powers.

 

[Trash]

Though it will be a sight to see Bioware try and find some explanation to filling their gameworld with thousands of Jedi and Sith. The nerdrage alone will be awesome to behold.

 

[ghostdog]

Well, there might be some interesting possibilities when you'll get to choose your race. Imagine being able to play as an ewok , yoda's race or jarl jarl's race. Or even jabba the hutt... and all of them jedi... fuck yeah! Maybe they could include prestige classes like Mawgs , Pizza the Hutt and Yogurt.

 

[Trash]

I'd be surprised if we wouldn't witness the soaring jetpacks of a thousand Boba Fets on any given day.

"Volourn how often do you go to church (don't lie, is it one or twice a week?)"

Though your post is retarded, and spam; the answer is never.

SWG already has Jedi-on-Demand.

 

[kingcomrade]

Boba Fetts named Master Chief.

Nobody cares, Volourn, and in reality nobody asked you. That comment was directed at Matt.

Wrong. Atari had fuck all to do with KOTOR2. It was Lucasarts fault for only giving Obsidian a year's development time..

Obsidian knew from the very beginning how much development time they had when they began making the game. It's not LA's fault Obsidian bit off more than they could chew. Not hating on Obsidian or anything, but they did fuck up with KOTOR 2. They tried to make a big game that required more time than they were actually given and it suffered because of that.

Yeah, LA are a bunch of bastards for giving them such a small time to make the game. But it's also Obsidian's fault for not managing that time properly.

Lol, wut?

KC why are you such a stupid fatass?

That wasn't directed at you KC, I was talking to Trash's mom.

 

[kingcomrade]

Hold on, I want Volourn to say it.

 

[RK47]

give this man a job in mmo industry quick

I suppose a portion of the blame does reside with Obsidian for not managing their time efficiently. However, Lucasarts should have known better than to expect a brand new studio to make a game in a year. And they definitely shouldn't have rushed it for Christmas, that was just greed and nothing else. I bet if they had allowed Obsidian a couple of extra months, KOTOR2 wouldn't have been as buggy, the ending might have been better, and it would have sold more copies.

Volourn is still an idiot for saying '85% Obsidian, 5% LA' etc. Just sheer lunacy.

 

[Texas Red]

What bugs are everyone talking about? They had an existing engine which they didn't touch. I never saw any bugs.

 

[Volourn]

"However, Lucasarts should have known better than to expect a brand new studio to make a game in a year."

If Obsidian couldn't do it they should ahve said something before they signed the contract; but they likely saw $ signs. Greed does that to you.

Malachor V (the final planet) was very buggy, mostly due to its unfinished state. I heard people also had problems with Korriban, although I didn't run into any myself. But Malachor had a lot of problems, as did a few other areas (like Nar Shaddaa).
