kookaburra Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 NEWS ALERT!! ANOTHER KOTOR RUMOUR/HOPE LURKING ON IGN POSTED 26th September 2005 (AEST) Hello Ladies and Gents Guess what I found while browsing the obisidian fourms? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mailbag 08.30.05 Nothing more than the greatest bundle of all time. Hoping Q.I see that Bioware is recruiting for some new games, which really kinda bums me out. I was hoping for a Knights of the Old Republic 3. With the power of the new Xbox, and maybe a story set in the expanded universe after the movies (like perhaps the Thrawn trilogy) they probably could have easily had the missing killer app in the launch lineup and made a fortune. Any idea if they'll ever make another one? I believe (think) this is the answer all you KOTOR fans have been waiting for? see below for the answer by an IGN offical -Kookaburra A.Since another mailbag junkie had recently asked that question and you have bought it up again, I just happen to have a vague but positive answer for you. I spoke with LucasArts the other day and the spokesperson said that they see the series as a franchise, an ongoing franchise, which means that yes, they certainly will make another game. But don't count on BioWare making that game. Most likely, the developer of KOTOR: The Sith Lords will hand the third one, which I am 99% sure will be on Xbox 360. Unless LucasArts decides to take the series to the Xbox next year…which I somehow doubt. I wish I knew more about next year's Xbox lineup, but nobody will say anything. My theory is that developers will make a few, non-important games on the Xbox next year, but the bulk of their money and the important franchises will head to Xbox 360. Answered by a guy named --Douglass -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found another KOTOR III possibility! well just take this one for the moment as a rumour. This linkie is at least some good news for a possible KOTOR III.(I ain't saying KOTOR III is offical-just a might) head here to read for yourself my lovely dear friends: Source (below) for the above possible news! http://xbox.ign.com/mail/2005-08-30.html I will keep a look out for more KOTOR III rumours and hopes. another source where I foun this from http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=36215&st=690 but in the mean time I will keep searching any where I can for more "hopeful" KOTOR III news. Good luck Ladies and Gents Cheero Kookaburra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Great news! So finally some solid confirmation that it is going to be done. Not that we all didn't know it would be done sometime anyways just because the first 2 were so good, but this is good to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Unfortunately most of us who were here for the K2 rumors and stuff have heard things like this before... I'll belive it when LA announces it and puts that up on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Who is this Douglass dude anyway? So if what he is saying is true we are likely looking at 2007 at the earliest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresnosmokey02 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 News and rumors keep me hopeful. But like the man said, I'll believe it when I see an actual announcement. I expect that the first actal hard confirmation of the game will be at an E3 show within the next two years. If we don't see it by E3 2007 I expect it will never be made.

Drinking Sith Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 This is great news but still i agree with you all I will only Totoally belive in it if it is gonna be a actual announcement from the developers of kotor2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaleur Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 But like the man said, I'll believe it when I see an actual announcement. That is wise, given the way projects are wont to get canned in the games industry. Though even an E3 announcement is not a 100% guarantee of anything.

FunSolo Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 i dont believe that they come up wit a kotor3 in 2006. its more possible in 2007 or later. cause they'll prolly use the new engine of neverwinter nights 2. if they still keep the old engine they piss off too many ppl just for the fact that its not uptodate. but no matter when it comes out, i hope they will get more time for it, cause i dont wanna see that much cut content anymore or a buggy one. otherwise this gameseries is dead like the star trek games.

stingerhs Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 well, i think this was more of a 'Burning Questions' type thing like they have on Gamespot. basically, its were one of the editors of the site comments and responds to questions that other users have about one particular subject or the other. in this case, what i've just read sounds to me like it was just speculation to hopefully appease the person that asked the question. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The guy doesn't even know what platform it would be on. He is just as in the dark as everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3di_sean Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'm not sure if someone posted this yet... but here is some news on the possibility of KOTOR3. Only time will tell whether it is true and I seriously do hope it is... http://www.fi-sci.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=318&Itemid=44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auark Streck Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 i sure hope it comes out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Maker Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 The link sean posted sounds kinda iffy... 14 f*****g years after K2? o_0 Thats 19 years after K1... can you imagion how OLD Revan, and Bastila, and Carth and the whole original party would be? Dang Old >.< And using the Jade Empire system doesn't sound like LucasArts either, I mean sure people like it but if this thing is coming to the newer generation systems do they REALLY expect us to still like the older game engines? I dunno, sounds like a bunch of bull to me =/ And if it WAS "under development for months now" wouldn't the website for LucasArts have at least SOME sort of "heads up" or "new game" alert? Sounds fake to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaSolo Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 So basically it's a rehash of what we've heard countless times. Nothing concrete, and nothing really new. It's not really rocket science, and it doesn't take an "insider" to know that another KOTOR game will be made. Lucasarts has said as much everytime they've been asked about it. So I'm not really sure how this is any different than the countless other threads about KOTOR speculation/rumor/innuendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsider Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hey, Obsidian has been working on an as yet untitled rpg for the past year, which in turn say it will be released by early 2006 or just after launch of the 360, cant remember or find the page I printed off but this is good news!! It lists it on the releases for the 360 on IGN. My fingers are crossed on this one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExileReturns Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I've seen the 2006 lineup for Xbox 360 (Electronic Gaming Monthly issue Nov 2005) and it does not include any Star Wars titles (other than Mercenaries 2, which is a lucas arts game.) My guess is they will make the Kotor III game on the current Xbox system and probably do not consider this game to be a major release. That might be a good thing because they won't be in a big hurry to release it like they did with Kotor II. So I'm guessing Dec '06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAlex Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I just hope they don't forget about PC. Considering how few games i play, it would be a waste to buy a console as i would't be using it very often. And besides, games on a console are difficult to modify.

K3 would in fact be considered a sequel. Thus, unless Obsidian is lying or stretching the truth, PNJ is not K3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3di_sean Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 If you were the developers... would you consider making kotor3 or forget about it and work on entirely new games? Just asking... Maybe with this ... we can guess whether kotor3 will be in the making or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExileReturns Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I don't think Obsidian is working on this game (Kotor III) because if it was in development they would be saying something about it on their website. all we have right now is some suit working for Lucas Arts saying "We consider Kotor to be a franchise." That vague statement says to me that they will make a sequel eventually, but they have nothing concrete right now. Hopefully, the collective won't be working on this game because the Revenge of the Sith game really blew big chunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
