cire992 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Mass Effect was announced as a trilogy from day 1. From Wikipedia, "In addition to plans for two sequels to complete a trilogy, BioWare plans to release episodic content via Xbox Live to fill in the story between each game, though these episodes are not essential for understanding the main plot line.[12] The first of these downloadable content packages was released on March 10, 2008 for the Xbox 360 only. A PC edition of this additional content is still undergoing bug fixing and will be released as soon as possible.[13]" As such, I don't see why they would say "new next gen game" and not Mass Effect 2, if they said it was coming. 500 isn't enough, trust me.

RyuuKage Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 they don't announce it because they don't want fan demand to rush it, obviously. news to me that it was intended as a trilogy from day 1 tho. 500 isn't enough? come on Halo CE was devved by 40-50 people iirc...

cire992 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ^ Pretty exciting, huh? I'm looking forward to the next chapter. My point is though, we already know the games are in development. Check the Bioware forums, discussions are abound already. Halo CE wasn't an MMO. It's different. There's a TON of assets required to make an MMO. Need a LOT of developers to do that.

cire992 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ^ Who knows. Zeschuk and Muzyka know, obviously. But they don't want us to, and they've succeeded! We'll have to wait and see for a bit longer, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Boy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well then, what that tells me is that the mmo is indeed a kotor game, firstly read the link ^ again and read between the lines it will sink in. He's basically saying "no, there is no kotor 3 in development, but we are working on an mmo" hint, hint, if the mmo wasnt anything to do with kotor why mention it in the same sentence ? its like he wants us to know but isn't allowed to tell us. I HATE BEING RIGHT , AHHEMM! COUGH COUGH, HA! If you're willing to spin Mr. Priestly's statement in whatever way fits your whim then there isn't much I can do about that. If you want to understand the full context of the quote though then I recommend you read the thread I linked to up until Mr. Priestly's statement. It seems fairly plain to me that he is again confirming that BioWare is not making KotOR 3. I'm not sure how one can logically draw a conclusion that because BioWare is not making KotOR 3 then they must be making a KotOR MMORPG.[/QUOTe] ooops looks like iam right MR CHAR ELL, so then, looks like your straight forward logical, assertive, robotic, arrogant reply means nowt.

cire992 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ^ No kidding. I've never witnessed a grown man gloat so much about a prediction. Not impressed, big guy. By the way, that article Sala posted is a real good read for anyone who's looking for some info on Bioware's approach to this MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth~Revan Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ok ummmm Hi ppl, ok ya down to the biz. ok the other day my cousin and I were on some Lucas site (i forgot the name,but i shall inform once i kno) and it said that they are halting the process of KOTOR 3 because they cant think up new characters and attcks/powers. They dont want to have the same powers and attcks in the 3rd game though they are stilling keeping SOME awsome powers/attcks, though i do not know what they are. And a spoiler to give out is that the Exile shall be in the game but is slightly older looking to give reference to time but the exile is created by you but u aint the exile but someone else...(i dont kno) but the exile is in yer party. I just thought this info would help this cause on the future thoughts of you powerful ppl.lol I shall find the link to this site and inform u all immediatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuuKage Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 are you sure this was a Lucas affiliated site? somehow i doubt something like that would go unnoticed by regulars around here...unless they don't go anywhere else XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth~Revan Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 like i saidi dont know the site that well my cuz was on it....i came to see... but i just thought this is useful, but when i know the site well i shall inform all of you if its a fake or not....but im like you on this....its hard to think its true if alot of main members on here havent heard of it.

JCarter426 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3155486 Hmm, it actually doesn't sound half bad (for an MMO), though I'm a little upset that BioWare seems to have started working on the (KO)TOR MMO around the same time that LucasArts laid off the K3 team.

Darca Lar Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 years of waiting and KOTOR the MMO is confirmed first on E3 then again on an episode of X-Play I watched. I didn't think news was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that timing, the MMO started within months of the end of the internal project. But according to Obsidian, they were talking to LucasArts a YEAR after that about making Knights 3. So don't lose hope. @ Darca Lar - I saw the X-Play episode, they were recapping the same story from E3, it wasn't a second confirmation. What we really need at this point is for LucasArts, the guys who have been talking the least about this project, to come out and make an announcement.

cire992 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ^ Yeah, Obsidian has their hands full at the moment. They're only a fifth the size of Bioware, so I can't imagine that they could be working on it just yet. But we haven't heard anything since then, LA has shut up big time about shopping around K3. So either they agreed that Obsidian will make K3, or somebody else already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuuKage Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 yeah, hopefully what's obsidian up to anyway? i know they're doing the Storm of Zehir expansion pack for NWN2, Alpha Protocol, and that Alien RPG. I'm pretty sure Zehir is almost done, but AP and Aliens are still early in development, right? Even if Obsidian does get the rights to dev K3, they won't have the available manpower to make it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 So far as I Know that is all that they are doing right now. I do know that Josh Sawyer is working on a Black Hound (what would have been BG III) mod for NWN 2 on his own free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cire992 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Keep in mind, Obsidian is only 135 employees strong... Three projects is about as much as a company that size can manage. It's why I've been saying stuff like 'they'll put K3 on their to do list'. Personally I'm a fan of that idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuuKage Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 yeah, three sounds like a lot to me considering their size, even if one is just an expansion. I wonder though, if the team behind the NWN2 x-pack will join up with the other teams for their projects, or if they'll start the documenting for the next Obsidian project. If they do that, well who knows what they might work on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
