IndianaSolo Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It's that website's prediction for 2006, nothing more nothing less. It has as much credibility as me making predictions for 2006. Fallout 3 will be made. It will be real time. See? That's about as credible as IGN's article is in terms of how much truth there is to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus Q'ol Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 No one ever explained HOW this would change the game. Can someone give me an example of the difference? How would the game play be different? Would it be the graphics and the look of movement or the action and fighting or what? What would be the differences for PC and console users?

ChAiNz.2da Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Can someone give me an example of the difference? Best comparison I can think of (at least for real-time combat) is Morrowind vs TSL.. In Morrowind, when you encounter/engage in combat.. there is no "pausing" and thinking about strategy.. it's a "you better hope you either have quick fingers, proper hot keys, etc.. OR you can run like a mother.." Granted, you can still "switch" your inventory, but there are games out there that don't even allow this. Also, in Morrowind, in order to combat (swing weapon, throw, pull bowstring), something has to be "pressed" per action (ie, button-mashing) TSL being turn based allows you to "pause", que actions for the entire party then resume based on your choices... no pressing buttons to swing, block etc. No strafing controls, no nothing.. it's all based on a die system where your skills and abilities adjust your "roll" to determine effectiveness and success/fail. I can only imagine the horror of a real-time scenario with more than one Party Member (excluding the fact that until stoffe fixed it, Pary AI sucked)... If KotOR III is to be a "true" real-time combat game, it's going to become more of a button-mashing nightmare rather than a storyline driven RPG (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, RPG combat is about strategy (albeit KOTOR's combat was a little too easy to have to worry about strategy), and if you go to full real time there's no chance for real strategy.

kookaburra Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Kotor III speculation on knights.com???? posted by Com Raven on main page. So, you read the bit below about Obsidian Entertainment doing a pure action-combat KotOR 3? Laughed about how crazy that ideas sounds? Alright, then you might be prepared to read this It seems that Obsidian is hiring a Audio Programmer for an unannounced game. Not too exciting in itself. It gets more interesting once you look at the details: Audio Programmer - PS3, XBOX 360, PC Unannounced - 3rd Person, ACTION, RPG So, a few days after IGN (who are despite some occasional wacky predictions still a great source for gaming news) proclaims a Xbox360 action-based KotOR 3, we find that Obsidian (the most likely candidate for KotOR 3 since BioWare is busy with its own IPs) is working on an action rpg for the 360, PC (a sure bet for any future KotORs) and the PS3 (with the PS3 having a HDD this time around, a port seems likely). Feel free to draw your own conclusions, and to discuss them along with the rest of the community on our KotOR III Boards. Feel free to disagree or agree. total speculation. another interesting thing??? Kotor 3 ??????

Clone L68362 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 People have talked about this before and reacted with "What do they mean action RPG?!" Which I don't know why really.

An action RPG implies a more twitch-based scheme that you would be unable to pause/assign commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kookaburra Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Okay Ladies and Gents, again I have found some more Kotor III rumour/speculation, read this: Obsidian Working On Next-gen KOTR 3? According to various reports, Obsidian Entertainment - developing house of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords - is currently working on an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game. Although the actual title hasn't been revealed, chances are at least reasonable that it's the third Star Wars game in the Knights of the Old Republic series, currently labeled KOTR 3. We'll keep you updated if Obsidian makes any official comments. -Shiva Stella [postED: 01/16/06] linkie: http://news.gaminghorizon.com/media2/1137523091.3182.html another linkie http://news.gaminghorizon.com/ against this is I believe just pure speculation.

kookaburra Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 DOUBLE TREAT OH my we are in for a real Kotor III rumour treat tonight. Of course still take this as a Kotor III rumor. look at this. Obsidian's Quadruple Set The dev team behind KOTOR: The Sith Lords has new games in store. What are they? by Douglass C. Perry January 17, 2006 - Obsidian Entertainment is currently working on three unannounced role-playing games, according to job listing site Creative Heads. Comprised of former several Black Isle and BioWare creators, Obsidian appears to be expanding with work expressly for next-generation and PC platforms. One game, listed as a third-person action-RPG for Xbox 360 and PS3, is possibly the third in the Knights of the Old Republic series. Neither LucasArts nor Obsidian would confirm a renewal of their work done on Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords. According to a source close to the development team, Obsidian may not have sealed the deal yet for KOTOR 3. The second role-playing game listed (Obsidian is looking for an entry-level programmer for this title) is an RPG slated for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. This second RPG is an original intellectual property called Project New Jersey and uses the Unreal 3 Engine, according to Obsidian employees. Along with job postings for Neverwinter Knights 2 (announced in August 2004), Obsidian is also creating an adventure-RPG for Xbox 360 and PS3 (for which it's in search of a senior graphics programmer). In addition to the Creative Heads listing is Obsidian's own job listings. linkie: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/681/681657p1.html Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well, I'm enjoying the anticipation and reading all the news bits posted here. Of course, I'd like it even better if there was a definitive announcement. I'm betting Kookaburra will get the scoop on any official news, too, with her quick research.

kookaburra Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi I did some more digging and I found this, its a few weeks old but it keep you reading until hopefully something else offical comes up. Of course take this as another speculation. Silence doesn't always mean inaction. LucasArts is reportedly working quietly on two big name sequels expected late 2006 or early 2007. No major announcements have been made, but IGN has done some digging and turned up some info. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IGN has learned that LucasArts recent silence does not mean inactivity. Infact IGN revealed that LucasArts is infact working on a sequel to the surprise hit Mercenaries for Xbox 360 and PS3. Also quietly in development is KOTOR 3, with the team at Obsedian still behind the game early news is that players can expect better interaction between NPCs and the main character, also IGN said to expect the fighting system to be completely real time. What is not known at the time is which platform KOTOR 3 will land on, one can hope that Obsedian would make the next gen jump. We'll bring you more information on Mercenaries 2 and KOTOR 3 as it becomes available. linkie: http://www.xboxcircle.com/portal/content/view/953/1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
