kookaburra Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hello Everyone Look what I found Kotor 3 Announced -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "As a leading representative of BioWare Corp. given the mamoth task of publicising the next in the series of Knights Of The Old Republic games (KOTOR 3), I have permission to confirm that this title is now several months underway. This may come as a surprise to those who are currently reading this, as it was previously believed that the KOTOR staff had been cut from the LucasArts project. I can also confirm that the KOTOR 3 team is now officially on LucasArts budget and eagerly developing what we hope to be a 'must have' title on as of yet unconfirmed Next Generation platforms for 2006. With more details to be released in the coming weeks, 3 points concerning KOTOR 3 can be posted: 1)The story takes place in a period roughly 14 years after KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords. 2)There will be new characters, equipment, classes, mini games and an entirely new combat system based on the interface used on Jade Empire. 3)The plot follows directly from the last game, plunging the galaxy into war with the True Sith. This has yet to be posted onto the BioWare official website (http://www.bioware.com) as the pages are currently serving as a front to keep viewers occupied during a drastic remodelling process of the entire site. As previously stated, this message is soon to be posted around the internet, and new details are to be released soon. Keep checking back for more information." Found this online somewhere great news or what? And to think that Bio ware is doing the game makes my day! source: http://kotorfanmedia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=992&start=15 A guy called master Jenson posted this from KFM (KotorFanMedia) I thought it was a great post so I thought I pass on the news. please just take this as a rumour or news but any way here is the link to where I got it from. so please don't flame me for this or any thing, I just wanted to share it and discuss it with fellow KOtorians. any way take care ORGINAL SOURCE: http://www.cad-forums.com/showthread.php?t=40654 enjoy Kookaburra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Strider) Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ^^^^ That's good. 2006? Well I hope that they have enough time to finish the game. I always thought that BioWare should have the task of doing KOTOR 3. A combat system based on Jade Empire? I've always wanted that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Sounds neat. I'll feel a lot better when I see something on either LA's or BW's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Sounds neat. I'll feel a lot better when I see something on either LA's or BW's site. agreed. Hey kookaburra, Do you have a link where you saw that? Try checking your history. This would be great news, though I can think of at least one site where if this was where it was posted then it's pure crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 If this true then it alll sounds good although if its based 14 years after there will be alot of history to be mentioned in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastila Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I don't really like the idea of a 14 year old gap from TSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuitneilston Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 It will be interesting to see the 'True' sith in comparison with the Sith we've been fighting in the other two games...be good if they all wore black cloaks with their hoods over their eyes, all mysterious like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smilodon Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ^^^^ I'm with Achilles on this one... Same for me. I hope they'll also announce some of the new features above like the characters and a new combat system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Notice the user name for the poster. Kotor 3 Rumor sorry, but it looks like someone has nothing better to do then spam forums with fake news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomb King Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Can someone explain the combat, since I've never played the Jade Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montnoir Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Oh yes. This sounds and looks utter fake. The "True Sith" and the "plot follows directly from that of the last game" pretty much gives it away. Had it been any other company than Bioware I might have given it the benefit of the doubt. But to imply that Bioware would continue someone else's story is... phony. I think it's a safe bet that LucasArts will take a more liberal approach to the first 2 games and make K3 more stand alone than previously. That and also "didn't want to post on BW forum because they are undergoing some updates/upgrades". Oh, please! An official developer of Bioware posting on a completely different forum. Not even an interview. I'd venture to say it's safe for everyone to just ignore this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 i'm with montnoir: until i see some solid proof, as in official announcements, i won't be convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have to agree that it sounds fake. Like Obsidian is gonna give away its story to Bioware without a fight (well they might, depending on the bribe). Too bad isn't believable, I wish there was some official word/interviews.

Darth333 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 lol! that same guy who posted at the CAD forums posted at the swamp too: http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=150149 While a Kotor 3 game is more than probable, this post is a scam. A LucasArts game would not be announced in this manner. For the official annoucements, check the LucasArts site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastila Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think bascily everyone, will not belive anything till it's on LA site or BioWear or who every is making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'm with everyone that has a very skeptical attitude towards this "announcement." The referenced CADForums post is by a new user registered in July 2005 with only 1 post and says he "found this online somewhere." Hardly credible... I don't expect we'll hear anything official about KotOR 3 until end of this year at the earliest but I can't see how LucasArts won't get some developer (BioWare, Obsidian, or whomever) to create the next game of the KotOR saga at some point in the future.

witchfinder Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I doubted it from the moment I saw "mammoth" had been spelt wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 14 years after the second game? Come on. By then, Mandalore will be walking around whacking people with a cane. And if you were on the Light Side (how odd), Jolee would be dead and Mission would be all grown up. Not exactly the kind of way you want to re-introduce some of the really good characters. If this was true, it would have been posted on LA's of Bioware's official site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Maker Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Jade Empire combat system? Bah... I sure hope they don't ruin the series with a lousy combat system clone with alterations here and there trying to make it "better"... And I agree wtih Achilles, I would feel safer knowing it is official news rather than a "rumor" <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 So, as I asked in the swamp, what is the point of setting up an account just to make 1 bogus post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ^^^ Who knows. Some people just like to see things stirred up. I don't think we'll be seeing Bioware on the KotOR series anymore. Truthfully, I would much prefer OE do KotOR 3; the vibe they set in KotOR 2 was quite lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't think the admins would create a whole new forum based on one person's spam, I suspect that we will hear something official in the near future.
