Star Wars Star Wars: Kotor III is coming

[Wirdschowerdn]

Well, not really. At least not yet.

Lucas Arts to release Kotor 1 + Kotor 2 bundle this summer; speculation about coming Kotor 3?

Most probably an internally developed Kotor 3, which, judging by LA's lousy previous work, is most probably gonna suck.

Hope the re-release bundle gets at least some modifications and Hi-Res Textures....but nah, it's Lucas Arts.

BioWare probably doing an eleven month development cycle TOR tie-in KOTOR 3 using HERO ENGINE with awesam buttan ala DA2.

Butthurt for all!

If games are becoming easier each passing year, I really wonder how banal would KOTOR3 be.

 

[Aeschylus]

Hmmm... what are the odds that it will include the restoration patch for 2, uncredited?

I don't see how they could create an RPG internally, since they have no developers with any experience making them. More likely it'd end up being an action game along the lines of the Dark Forces games if done internally. I don't see what would stop them from contracting Bioware again though.

RIP the SP campaigns from TOR and Profit!

Experience? When did that LA, or even George Lucas ever stop making shit?

LA right now has 3 games internally in development, one is supposedly an Action RPG, the other some sort of Space Sim, and the other a 3rd person Action game.

And none of them Gladius 2.

On a related subject, Lucasarts trademarked "Star Wars: 1313" for video games and various other media as well as other stuff (Seems like a new Shadows of the Empire multimedia thingy) and got a bunch of domain names related to it. To save everyone the trouble: No, nothing important happens in 1313 BBY and 1313 ABY is LONG after any published stuff though that would make it a good place to set a new part of the EU.

When is the new X-Wing or TIE Fighter coming out?

 

[Jasede]

No Avellone no deal.

 

[Jaesun]

No Avellone no deal.

 

[Excidium]

KOTOR III is already out. For just $59.99 + $15/month.

Didn't stop them from trying before: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_3

They were funding that thing while Obsidian was making the 2nd one. I would have loved to see Knights of the Old Republic milked dry, each annual release worse than the previous.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I wouldn't hold your breath for a KotOR3 after SW:TOR for the same reason I wouldn't hold out for a Warcraft 4.

They bundle tons of games. I don't think this is a very strong indication of a sequel.

Then again, besides the South Park game and never-happening-cuz-of-Faergus-Kickstarter game, what is Obsidian up to these days? Co-developing Wheel of Time with some studio since 2010..?

I asked Chris Avellone about Wheel of Time on Twitter and he said he couldn't say anything. I imagine if it had been cancelled, like Aliens, he would have been free to say so.

How do I brofist, but with melancholy?

You are aware they are only consulting for that game. Not making it right?

I don't think they can just contract them anymore since EA is Bioware's owner right now.

If Kotor3 will be nextgen I'll finally realize my long standing daydream of fucking HK-47.

 

[Ulminati]

If they hire the guy who did imperial agent in TOR to do the plot it won't be all bad,

In fact, they should skip the jedi altogether and make a full SP game based on the TOR imerpial operative. Sith Ex: Wookiee Revolution

Why not? The Advanced Romance Simulation Entertainment Research Group spot is already taken.

With most recent flops in SW universe either 2 types of games will be made: Battlefront, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight type FPS/TPS in the spirit of Call of Duty or open world KOTOR similar to Skyrim. Because all the monies are in those genres and MMOs are probably off the list for a decade.
