Da_Man_2423 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Regardless of the revenues it would be best to continue making games for the PC. Why? Because you and a few other fans don't own a console? How many potential K3 buyers don't own consoles? You're not in LucasArts' position, so I'm fairly sure they know what would be best for them, inluding their marketing department.

JCarter426 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Meh, considering how many fumbles they've made in the past, I wouldn't put that much faith in LA. And besides, like it or not, a good portion of the KotOR community (and the gaming community in general) are strictly PC users. But LA isn't completely idiotic (I hope); they see how big the modding community for KotOR is, and they wouldn't be so dumb (again, I hope) as to not make a PC version of K3.

Davinq Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 You would think LA wouldn't be so stupid, but given the vast array of disappointments alloted in the not-so-distant past... they might think they're killing two birds with one stone in commercial terms: LA's porting TFU strictly to consoles, making PC users left out of the mix. To 'balance' things out, KotOR will be PC only, but as an MMO, which is the latest rumour [albeit with very strong reasoning] here. LA can't be that thick... can they?

But that's just making some PC users even more angry. A lot of fans even here are still going, "OMGZ there making K3 an MMO?!?!11oneone". Also, when will it be official forum policy that the new (highly rumored, yet with evidence) MMO NOT be called KotOR? 'Cause the patent clearly takes out the "Knights of" part. Edit: Just want to remind those that don't know, BioWare is making a game debut at E3 this year on July 17th at 10 AM. And no it isn't Dragon Age since we already know about it. Maybe ME2, but we already know about it as well, along with ME3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydon An'sou Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well, as much as I love KOTOR, as time goes on I lose interest. I'm still going to adore the first two games and play them continuously, but I'll live if there is no third game. As a Star Wars fan, there are other projects that easily satiate my long, such as The Force Unleashed. If we don't get a third KOTOR game all of the loose ends will be tied up by Dark Horse or Lucas Books, I'm sure. (The bad thing about that, though, is that the casual fans who aren't into anything beyond the games will never know what happened.) In reply to this, just a question, i've been hoping that there were books on Knights stories, could anybody tell me where i could get hold of these books?

Da_Man_2423 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Probably your local book retailer...or Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydon An'sou Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Ok cool thankyou. Another question, this is really nooby, i'm not familiar with gaming terms. What is MMO and what does it stand for? If KOTOR 3 is going to be an MMO, will it have single player offline play?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Man_2423 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Massively Multiplayer Online. Think World of Warcraft. Not much is known about the game, so no one knows for a fact if it will have singleplayer offline play, although I believe it has been hinted at having some sort of singleplayer experience.

Sydon An'sou Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Ah right thanks a lot for clearing that up for me. Well, if KOTOR ends up anything like World Of Warcraft I wont buy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Man_2423 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 You and a billion others. Hopefully a sinlgeplayer experience is added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hopefully they'll listen to the fans and realize that the majority do not want an MMO and scrap the idea in favor of a proper sequel. To answer your question, Sydon An'sou, there are no KOTOR "books," as in novels, but there is an ongoing comic series by Dark Horse comics at this time.

The game has been in development since when? '05? '06? I doubt they're gonna scrap 2-3 years of work and development all of a sudden. Also, is it safe to assume the majority of fans don't want an MMO? I've seen as many naysayers as I have supporters on the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darca Lar Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 but its on every kotOR fan's mind, and thats what they want. If they build up speculations, release this and that bit of info., then they've got us wrapped around their finger. with as many supporters and non-supporters there are, regardless this could be pretty big.

I haven't seen any indication that they've even really started on it. There has been no official announcement and no reason it would be kept secret. Although it's a good money maker, the concept is still on the back burner. I will be disappointed if it never is, but I won't delude myself into thinking that it will be until it's out.

Web Rider Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 To be honest it's really lost any place in my mind. I'll be excited if there's a SOLID announcement that it's gonna come out(not one saying they're gonna develop it), but if nothing happens to be honest I won't really care. I've waited for Fable 2 for years, and because the developers kept giving us little tidbits of info, it kept my interest. Kotor 3? nah, don't really care anymore.

DeadYorick Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 the first 2 were the best games ive played, and i want to know how the series ends, if they didn't leave it on a cliffhanger i would be less bothered. How exactly did they leave it in a cliffhanger? I thought Kotor 2 had a good ending and did finish the storyline. K2 had the Exile leaving to the unknown regions to help Revan. Leaving it ambiguous as to what would happen. If they made a K3 they would HAVE to put a new person. Because they can't have Revan or the Exile lose their abilities properly. If they did have a Kotor 3 they couldn't find Revan or the Exile in the flesh either. Since everyone would be saying. "Hey thats not how I portrayed Revan/Exile" So technically to avoid a mass amount of gripy fans they can feature The Unknown Regions. But I highly doubt they can feature Revan or the Exile unless they spend more then half their budget on plotline. Which is unlikely. As well. The next company that wants to make a new kotor game is most likely not going to tell everyone what the gender of Revan/Exile is. To put it simply they want all of the fans buying the next game to find out what it is. But they wont tell them in hopes that they buy KOTOR 4 to find out. It just keeps going on and on. A game that actually should get a sequel is Jedi Academy. THAT had a cliffhanger that was left unsolved. If the player chose the darkside it had Jaden Korr entering hyperspace in a star destroyer and Kyle saying he would go and find him. If the lightside Kyle would ask Jaden if he would want to go on another mission. Kotor is deserving for a sequel. But it doesn't absolutely NEED one. That said, I would buy the Kotor MMO if it came out and play it. If a kotor MMO came out then that would suffice for the rest of the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadYorick Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 We already know the canonical genders of Revan and the Exile. You would be surprised how many MSN conversations I have debated on with what Cannon is. There are still many fans who believe Revan is a female or Exile is a male because of small details that the games have. Most people debate on how the cannon is just there so they don't have thousands of emails flocking to Lucasarts asking the exact same question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really wish to get into a big gender debate since that is not the purpose of this thread but it is not the end of story. You would notice several clues in both games that lead to both of them. Like how the Exile's romance with Brianna was much better then a romance with Atton or The Disciple. Or how Carth was looking for Revan and unless he was homosexual why would he be constantly searching the galaxy for him. But that is not the purpose of this thread and now I end this debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 There is no debate. Revan is male. Exile is female. End of story. Wrong. I do not have to play Revan as a male nor the Exile as female. Just as I do not have to play either one as light sided. There is no cannon bs for the games. The only reason there is a gender set and light-dark set is so that there is consistency when people use the characters in comic books, books, films, music, ex cetera.

Sir Vougalot Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 A game that actually should get a sequel is Jedi Academy. THAT had a cliffhanger that was left unsolved. But you see, were they to continue that series, the next installment wouldn't be a sequel to Jedi Academy, it would be a sequel to Jedi Outcast. The reason is that the former is a spin-off and not a true sequel. And many people incorrectly refer to it as Jedi Knight III when it isn't. It isn't numbered for a reason. The numbered Jedi Knight games follow Kyle Katarn as the main protagonist, whereas the spin-offs -- Mysteries of the Sith and Jedi Academy -- star companions of his (Mara Jade and Jaden Korr, respectively). As such, Jedi Knight III would tell of the next chapter of Kyle's life, and it would make heavy reference to the events of Jedi Outcast, but very lightly touching anything from Jedi Academy, if at all; in much the same way Jedi Outcast continued from Jedi Knight while lightly glazing over Mysteries of the Sith. The sequel will (or should) make perfect sense with or without Academy. However, I personally feel that the Jedi Knight series is done. What else can they do to up the game mechanics? We've got The Force Unleashed underway for that. Therefore, I do honestly feel that Jedi Knight has run its course, unfortunately. Sorry. That had nothing to do with the subject at hand, but it's just something I always feel obligated to point out to people. Carry on. Also, people: cannon go boom! One N in the middle, please.
