RevanA4 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 me says bioware:p (pokes fun at people:xp:) err I mean I say bioware should do it
Smilodon Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Err just a question: is there any Star Wars game that was not published by Lucas Arts? Because some of you are talking about Ubisoft, just curious °_°
Hannibal Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 The Lego SW game wasn't published by Lucas Arts. edit: Check this out over at the Swamp. I hope it's true. This guy only has one post though.
Bob Lion54 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 ^^^^^^ LucasArts hold the right to Star Wars as it's owned by George Lucas. Even if they dont work on the game, they put their name on it. I think they are the distributer, but I'm not sure. All the other company do the majority of the work. EDIT: Hannibal beat me too it, but I think I'm right for the most part. Didn't know that about Lego Star Wars.
Smilodon Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Ah ic, thx for clearing up. Considering the messed up QA of LA we all experienced, I would also wish to have another publisher, though it might be very unlikely ... 8[
Hannibal Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I think Bioware is a strong enough company to develop the game and fend of LucasArts at the same time. As a game developer it's their reputation thats on the line.
Rok_stoned Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Also, BioWare lacks Features but has the abilty to tell stories. Obsidian lacks the ability to tell stories, but has more features. a good idea in theory but only one way to find out... btw they need some people to do a new engine as "they" did before.
Darth InSidious Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 In the (IMO very likely) event that Bioware and OE aren't asked, I think that they may well ask someone large and brand-name. I think, however, a Bioware/OE combo would be good, since they seem to understand the gameplay best...
Bon Solar Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I think Bioware but just cut down the damn load times, boring.. If neither Bioware or Obsidian do it maybe R*? They have made GTA which is RPG like.
stingerhs Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 well, if they were going to hand the game off to RockStar simply because San Andreas had a couple of RPG elements to it, you might as well go for a company that has put out more RPG's than anyone else: Square Enix. although, i will admit i'm not too keen about handing off a Star Wars game to those guys: things could end up getting really wierd. at least we would know for sure that they could make Kotor 3 a very good game.
General Kenobi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 How about Raven Software? Maybe they could tackle KOTOR III The Ancient Empire Returns or whatever They seem to put out quality games from what I've seen personally. General Kenobi
Bon Solar Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 They have made some good games like Elite Force and stuff so yer Raven might be good.
Darth InSidious Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 On the other hand, they put out games like JA. It only just has a better plot than TSL, in that it has one, IMO.

If you want KOTOR3 to be on the Quake 3 engine Raven is a good choice. BTW I like the Jedi Knight games but Raven is no RPG developer.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 I liked K1 better, so I say BioWare, their game had a lighter feel to it, whereas K2 made me feel like I was the Exile's shrink...
Rok_stoned Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 I liked K1 better, so I say BioWare, their game had a lighter feel to it, whereas K2 made me feel like I was the Exile's shrink... yeah... ...kotor one felt good and fun kotor 2 was a bit depressing sorta like the new star wars movie hope fully the next one is lighter because the republic is rebuilding. and @ hanibal could you not say death to ea its a local company where I live so...
Hannibal Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 and @ hanibal could you not say death to ea its a local company where I live so... Sorry, can't do anything for you. If it helps I hope a better company takes its place after it dies and the employees get a company that cares about them.
lukeiamyourdad Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 There has been a lot of studio being thrown around, but most of them are NOT RPG developers. Raven made some FPS, so did Pandemic. On a side note, Pletogryph is making Empire at War NOT Pandemic Studios.
Rok_stoned Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 maybe blizzard should take a crack at it they're pretty awesome and have proven they can work well with the D&D system and they're world renown for the're polish on each and every game.
Bob Lion54 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I still think Bioware is the best option with Obsidian a close second. Either company is fine, provided LA gives them the time to finish it. Blizzard has made some good games, so I wouldn't hate the idea. It's not the best choice, though.
Rok_stoned Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 some? all there games went gold ithink. but yeah bioware is my first choice regardless. as for la playing fair. It's easier getting Obsidian, bioware AND blizzard working together in a frozen hell with multiple personalities and then michael jackson playing with satan in the room next to him. but it might happen.
lukeiamyourdad Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Be realistic. Blizzard doesn't like not being in control of their project, probably just like Bioware. I understand it. It must be quite annoying having LA looking over your shoulder policing whatever you're doing.
stingerhs Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Raven has yet to develop their own engine. If you want KOTOR3 to be on the Quake 3 engine Raven is a good choice. BTW I like the Jedi Knight games but Raven is no RPG developer. well, at the moment Raven is developing Quake 4, which utilizes Id's Doom 3 engine, so its not like they don't have the capabilities to produce a great looking game. but still, Raven isn't an RPG developer. of course, i've stated it before and i'll state it again: why can't LucasArts develop Kotor 3 internally?? they have enough fiscal power to purchase rights to just about any graphics engine out there, much less hire the right people to get the job done right.
