Bill-Ba D'Kota Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hello I was just wondering if I am the only person fairly dissappointed with the games LA is kicking out this year (announced at E3). With the exception of SW Lego and Indiana Jones, the games just don't thrill me at all. Where are the new KOTOR or JK games? These two series were excellent, imo and were huge money makers for LA. To me, it just makes sense to cash in on those game's success. Maybe I'm just hoping for something that isn't gonna happen . Thanks for lookin' Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchythesamurai Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 KOTOR II felt rushed to me, I'd rather them take their time and make III the way it should be than just churn it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I don't think anyone is particularily thrilled with another Rollercoaster tycoon clone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as KotOR goes I have no idea. I would expect LEC to make another KotOR at some point down the road but who knows when? 2007 maybe. 2008 more likely at this point. 2009 and beyond is quite possible too. KotOR: TSL didn't sell as well as the original but they really left the KotOR story in an unfinished state so I'm really hoping the LEC powers-that-be decide to make at least one more KotOR installment to finish the story.

They also said they would never make another Original Trilogy era game a few years back, but loo and behold, here's Empire at War that came out earlier this year.

Snafu7 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I wasn't incredibly impressed by any of the stuff that was in the LA booth, it was just too lackluster in comparison with some of the stuff other companies were showing off. I personally expected more, but I did like what I with the new Indiana Jones game. I don't think anyone is particularily thrilled with another Rollercoaster tycoon clone Agree, not sure what they were thinking with that one.

Commander Obi-Wan Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Agree, not sure what they were thinking with that one. Change. Take a shot at trying another type of game. Maybe it has Star Wars rides or aspects.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-Ba D'Kota Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 I thought LEC execs had said that they weren't going to make any more Jedi Knight-series games Do you have a link for this? It's too bad that LA would not want to capitalize off of such a great storyline. After all, the JK games have been pretty big sellers for LA. I also agree the the roller coaster game. Why not just make a Sims Star Wars game while they are at it. The game with the most potential that I see is the Indy one. However, 2007 and beyond may bring what I want to see... I can only hope.

Niner_777 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I was hoping for RC2. Maybe they're spending a really long time on it and making it really good? Also, I'd like BF3, though BF2 just came out rather recently, so I'm kind of glad they haven't announced it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all' date=' the JK games have been pretty big sellers for LA. [/quote'] My bad for changing things I've read into something else that wasn't quite true. I should know better than that. I believe that LEC has continued with its public stance that no Jedi Knight games are currently being planned. That's why I had no expectation that LEC would announce another Jedi Knight-series game at E3 2006. That's not to say that I think LEC won't ever make another Jedi Knight game. Never say never, right? But right now it doesn't seem like such a game is in the cards. At this point I think the KotOR series is in the same boat as JK.

Well, if the game sounds interesting to you, that's fantastic, I hope you enjoy it. I personally am not interested in it at all, that doesn't mean that I've never tried anything like it before(I have, I just didn't really get into it), it's all a matter of preference.

Micahc Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Bah, I've been dissapointed with Lucas Arts for a while. What they need is another as good as KOTOR or RC, not necessarily sequels; but games as good or better than them. With SWBF I & II, and Empire at War (which as far as know received mediocre reviews) future isn't looking up for LA. I'm really just hoping for Lego Starwars II, mainly because I'm a LEGO nut though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Yeah I think a lot of us were hoping for some kind of Republic Commando sequel or expansion or something, but sadly, nope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
