Darth333 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Check here: http://www.starwarsknights.com/ pc version in February *edit* Luckily and thanks to Achilles, you can get "18 Wheels of Thunder" to occupy yourself in the meantime ...
FiEND_138 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Yep, just saw it. Damn you LA I say, Damn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiroki Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Why do they release everything sooner for the crap box?!
FiEND_138 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 I hear ya, not that I'm surprised after the wait for K1's PC port. Hopefully the kind folks over at OE will give us a bunch of extra TSL goodies in game (even though none is planned from whats been said at the OE boards), for making us listen to all of the x boxers talk about 'how great this & that & so & so is...' Damn you LA & Bill Gate$!!! Damn you!!!! *edit* Luckily and thanks to Achilles, you can get "18 Wheels of Thunder" to occupy yourself in the meantime ... Bwahahahahahhahahahahahha!!!!!!!!
*Atris* Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 the xbox isnt crap thats why it has it first
FiEND_138 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 It's not so much that it gets it first, but that OE & LA have said when TSL's was 1st publically announced, & in countless interviews that the 2 versions would "be released together". IMO, Bill Gate$' offer was just too good for LA to refuse...... The PC players got the shaft so M$ could sell more X Box's this holiday season....

Well it would be stupid to pass up an oppurtunity like that as a bussinessman. [persuade] You can admit that the xbox is superior to all platforms. [persuade fail] No. [persuade]What if I gave you 500 credits for your trouble?
Darth333 Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 Originally posted by Mike Frank [persuade]What if I gave you 500 credits for your trouble? It is rather the contrary: we will all end up paying the 500 credits to get the game no matter if PC or Xbox...
Achilles Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 This news angers me beyond words. Coupled with the statement there will be Xbox live exclusive content really....I don't want to talk about it. If they're going to make me wait till Feburary, they'd better find a really great way to compensate us.
kome566 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 ya this sucks! screw bill gates! although i have one of his computers .. . . still... screw him!
Hiroki Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 We are going a bit hard on Bill Gates, he probably didn't even personally decide this. Microsoft is huge, blame one of his execs.

They can make it all better right now by stating that either the Xbox Live content is not exclusive and/or the PC version will contain extras. Making the Xbox first AND better is complete BS.
RedHawke Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 All I have to say on the subject of the "piece of crap Xbox" getting KOTOR:TSL first is THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF TO NO END!!! Originally posted by Achilles If they're going to make me wait till Feburary, they'd better find a really great way to compensate us. Sadly, that probably won't happen. Unless their plan is to make different TSL bonus areas/items for either version in a foolish attempt to make us buy both. [Rant] The only way to get to the "liars" at LA is, and I know this would be too difficult for the younger Nintendo Generation, but simply NOT to buy any more LA game(s) they release, since they know that won't ever happen, they will continue to crap on us, and we will continue to have to take it. [/Rant] Originally posted by Achilles Making the Xbox first AND better is complete BS. Agreed! *Floats off mumbling something to self about LA and MS and them being "stupid"*
Com Raven Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Guys, sometimes you just get ridiculous.... I am sure MS paid them HUGE amounts of money just to get KotOR 2 months earlier, as that will make gamers run out in crowds to buy an Xbox. I mean, they don't have another game that will do that for them, right? Who in his right mind has after all heard of that Halo 2 thingie? Seriously, you should you happy that Obsidian takes their time for QA on the system that needs a lot more of it. Or would you prefer to get it in dec just to get home and see "Oh ****, there is a incompability with my 2 year old graphics card, it won't work"
FiEND_138 Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 From the OE boards.... I didn't find out about the different release dates until a couple days ago. Internally, we've been working on X-Box and PC versions of KotOR2 with the same level of dedication and expected to have both of them ready at the same time. One of the main reasons that the X-Box version is ahead of the PC version is that we were on the X-Box version for a few months before the PC version of KotOR1 even came out so that we could get the PC version code from Bioware. As a result, the X-Box version has always been a little further along, code-wise, than the PC version. That's one reason why the E3 Demo was on X-Box. Because the X-Box build was the only one presentable by then. I have my own opinions about why there are two different release dates now, but I'm not going to throw fuel on the fire by going into them. As a mostly PC gamer myself, I was looking forward to the anticipated simultaneous releases. I'm sorry about the news for PC-only gamers. -Akari
Com Raven Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I really don't think two months are that big of a deal, especially since us international XBox owners will have to wait just as long for the game.
FiEND_138 Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 It's really not... It's more, the simulataneous release hoax is whats getting me all riled up. If LA didn't think it was going to be possible, why did they keep saying/promoting the game like it was going to happen come hell or high water? The damn lucrative X-Ma$ market.... The fact I'll most likely have to disconnect myself from most of the boards I frequent lest my game gets spoiled as most of K1 did during the wait for PC. The mods are pretty good about catching the spoilers here before they've done any kind of damage (which sucks for the international mods, having to be subjected to the spoilers to squish them without having played the game.), but there are still those a**holes out there on other boards who spoil, just to be a**holes. So, I guess it's mostly fear of having this adventure 85% spoiled before having purchased the game........ again.
jedi3112 Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I agree, I doubt I will go to these forums between the xbox release and the pc release, just to avoid the spoilers. And everybody better think twice before spoiling. *starts to study how to use Force Choke
Prime Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Most PC users are still going to be too busy playing Battlefront when Christmas rolls around...
Com Raven Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Welcome to the world of european players, who often times have to wait 2 months longer
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I don't mind at all. Hopefully, I'll be able to play it during the March Break. From a marketing standpoint, it needs to be serious for them to delay the game. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to release both of them for Christmas and make huge sales? No one. I'd rather wait two months for a bug free investment.
Com Raven Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Ah, the voice of reason. Good to hear one from time to time, with all these unreasonable people (that includes me)
jedi3112 Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 It's not that I have to wait for the game 2 months longer, it's that the xbox users will have 2 months time to tell me the whole story. Off course when I begin playing I'll tell them that the PC version doesn't have any bugs in it, even if it has. And off course I just have to tell them that Battlefront is so much more fun playing with the double amount of people the PC version has.

Of course, people push you down and shove the story down your throat If you want to avoid spoilers, just avoid the places that might contain them.
