I think it'll come too, just wondering who's the developer will be. I doubt Bioware will have its hands in it though. Not sure about OE.

And if its still based on the same graphics engine and with the same type of crap ending like K2? I'm sorry to say, I won't be buying the game.

OE will for sure. This was said by James Henley a Designer at bioware


Aaaalright, just to set the record straight...BioWare did not develop KotOR 2. Obsidian Entertainment did. Additionally, BioWare is highly unlikely to develop KotOR 3, what with the new intellectual properties we are busy developing (ie. Jade Empire, Dragon Age).

Obsidian has said that their next game isn´t a sequel. So it looks like another will join the kotor making group

Let's hope they get a decent developer anyways.

If Obsidians next game isn't a sequel, perhaps it's a prequel? Maybe BGIII?

I'm not sure what I'd make of Obsidian doing BG3. Baldurs Gate blew me away when it came out - really redefined pc-rpgs for me. Baldurs Gate 2 took it a stage further for me - I have to put that down as my number 1 game. From this perspective Obsidian have an uphill struggle as after such a long delay the fans will expect something incredible. Sith Lords had the potential to be a good game, but Obsidian didn't deliver. It had a lot of cut content and was very buggy. How much of this was down to pressure from LucasArts is open to debate... Worst fear is that they will release it as a console game

BG3 will be made for sure, and only to PC, and from my point of view, Obsidian would be the obvious choice, and the best makers for certain.

I first and foremost care about ROLEPLAY, then combat and graphics and other misc stuff comes in second. And the Roleplay of KotOR 2 - The Sith Lords was more than enough to satisfy my needs.

I'd say that KotOR 2 is about 50% better than KotOR 1.

So I'd say Obsidian has been very good so far, and they've learned from the mistakes they made at Black Isle. And really, when will there ever be a perfect PC game? Never. Why? It's all about money, and money have a tendency to really mess things up

Dude, you must have a bad computer if KotOR lags on it...

[jezzy101]

Let's hope they put some more effort into it and don't make you fight toys at the end again.

yeah, that was pretty annoying, it was like, massive and frustraighting, why couldn't it get to the point or put something interesting with the end part!?

[NiGHTMARE]

A large number of the game's faults can be attributed solely to Lucas Art's interference (especially the cut content and rushed ending), rather than Obsidian's incompetency, lack of talent, or whatever.

I've heard solid imformation that it will be out in spring 2006, but i don't yet know for what system xbox or xbox 360

If it's really 2006, then 90% likely the 360. I doubt that many games will even go on the xbox (1) after december. If any games are in progress during that time, they'll probably be ported to the 360 with improved graphics, etc.

And I doubt that they've been on it for awhile. Does anyone know of a game as big as KotOR that didn't advertise that they were working on a game?

[Lanky]

I've been on a few boards at Obsidian's website and there pretty on top of things there so if theres anyone who'd know more it's them....and a lot of them have confirmed that currently they ARE NOT working on a sequal at the moment....

Think about this they like to have the game working a bit and know what they are doing befor they show anything. They dont wont to say things and leave it out again so the are keeping ever1 in da dark (good on ya people from winging about them not finshing things they started). So the more people winge about not here anything the more they will wait so they no there going 2 b no changes


Well thts wat i think (me think! im giving me sefl credit for something i dont do )

A lot of people seemed to hate the endings to KotOR 2: TSL, but I seen it as the most obvious thing, part 2 of a trilogy.

*SPOILERS AHEAD* (if you havent beaten the game at least twice, why are you even on this board? )









The whole war against the sith empire in the unknown regions and how "If Revan is alive he will surely need warriors to help him, Jedi and Sith" and the "evil" ending having the Exile at the core (which supposedly focuses force power and can draw force sensitive people there) and the "good" ending with the ebon hawk flying into the unknown regions, its obvious that that is where the game will take place. (think of it as RotJ or RotS for KotOR).

As for it being released within Q1 or Q2 of 2006, not gonna happen. Actually, we'll be extremely lucky if they release it in 2006 at all. I forsee a Q1 or Q2 2007 release (unless lucasarts forces it out the door early again)

Personally, I dont care how long it takes for them to release it, as long as its done right. Example: Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess (yes, a bit off topic but it has some relevance) was originally due in October (or one of those Q4 months) 2005. Now its pushed back till April 06. THAT is smart game developing. Any time a game is released earlier then the original release date, you can be assured its not as good as it could have been.

Yeah, I agree that the ending is much criticized without real reason as it is the 2nd part of a trilogy, like you said. Although, I would have liked to see the NPC vs. NPC scenes on Malachor V and other cut content, that's why I'm looking forward to the restoration pack. As for KotOR III, you're right about it not likely coming out this year at all, since we've seen what a disaster KotOR II was when done in a rush, so I doubt Lucas Arts is going to pull that off again. I'd bet 2007 as well. Yea, delaying games is annoying, I admit, but can lead to very positive results, which is why I don't complain when Bethesda delayed TES IV: Oblivion to this year... it won't be long anyway until it's out.
