Endorenna Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 To be honest, the problem isn't really the monthly fees... Could you please clarify?
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The content would be the problem. The experience KotOR offers is somewhat unique, and on my view impossible to be reproduced to a MMO. How about the choices, the dialogs? A plot and, for God's sake, an ending? The characters? The feeling that the galaxy really relies on you and not on "Joe_Doe4evar" to save the day?
Char Ell Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Someone over on BioWare's forums found http://swtor.bioware.com/ It's a blank page now but likely won't be come Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning.
knight 12167 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I hope that it is more like Kotor 1 than 2...............
Pikmin Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Well I guess it's possible then that Obsidian Entertainment is working on K3, since Bioware is doing "The Old Republic".
Darca Lar Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I hope that it is more like Kotor 1 than 2............... I hope its better than both of them put together!
LordOfTheFish Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I hope its better than both of them put together! Dittoed.
SW01 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yep, something superior to the two would be great, but failing that, I agree that KotOR would be a better model than TSL, given that it had an actual plot twist, and an ending...
LordOfTheFish Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 That would be rather hard to accomplish though, seeing how great of a game KotOR was.
Endorenna Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I personally think that the original KOTOR is a lot more boring than the second one, at least after seeing the plot twist once. In the second one, there are a ton of powers to try out, hundreds of lightsaber upgrade options, TONS of dialog options (well, except for Bao-Dur and Disciple ) and, IMO, a much more interesting storyline. I'm still trying to sort out the true stuff Kreia said (however sparsely placed it may be) and the baloney.
TKA-001 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 The only thing that confuses me is the idea that TSL has no ending, yet K1 supposedly does.
knight 12167 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I prefer the first installment as it makes you feel as if you are fighting a war instead of being on a search for truth
DrPhil2501 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 ^ plus its heaps more interactive than the 2nd one in every sense IMO The idea of a KoTOR MMO just wouldn't be KoTOR at all. It has a certain unique experience that I know the MMO prject will never be able to duplicate. If there is anyone to blame for this; it should be EA for coming up with such an incompetent, lazy idea. (lol I'm sorry. An overeacting fan here...)
Christos K Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 4 more days............................ 96 hours........................
Ztalker Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Something just came up in my mind (doesn't happen very often, blame alcohol). I wasn't an active member at the time K2 was released. But I do remember Lucasarts released a trailer. One trailer only. Including the date the game was to be released. Does anybody know how many months were between them? Because, I have a certain feeling the 21th will give us a trailer. Because artwork won't do. "The wait is over." We aren't waiting for a boring announcement. I know this has been in development since 2007, but does anybody know how much time was between the trailer-release of K2? We might have a possible release date for k3 too then. PS: Since Christmas is impossible. Maybe a Q3 2009 release?
SW01 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 In the second one, there are a ton of powers to try out, hundreds of lightsaber upgrade options, TONS of dialog options (well, except for Bao-Dur and Disciple ) Content-wise and graphically, I will concede that TSL was (marginally ) superior, but IMO the storyline of KotOR was better. I'm still trying to sort out the true stuff Kreia said (however sparsely placed it may be) and the baloney. Good luck with that! I gave up trying the third or fourth time round! The only thing that confuses me is the idea that TSL has no ending, yet K1 supposedly does. Maybe it's just that the KotOR endings are more interesting, more dramatic - especially considering it was a standalone - while TSL was alway supposed to be part of a series (True Sith bit). TSL's ending was a little bit of a letdown, IMO, as the two were so similar no matter what, contrasted to KotOR.
Yar-El Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Two days left! I'm not a MMORPG fan in any means. I just want this to be over. I want to hear Knights of the Old Republic this or that. I wish for a single player game; however, I'm not going to be surprised by a multiplayer one.
Liham Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 they should either do an mmo and an rpg or an rpg with a multiplayer mode so u can do missions with ur friends
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I personally think that the original KOTOR is a lot more boring than the second one, at least after seeing the plot twist once. For me it's incredibly hard to see KotOR as boring. Even the second game... well, except for Nar Shaddaa and it's waves of uninteresting NPCs. In the second one, there are a ton of powers to try out, hundreds of lightsaber upgrade options Naturally. If it didn't, it would be an expansion pack, not a sequel. TONS of dialog options (well, except for Bao-Dur and Disciple And Visas, and Handmaiden, and Mira, and HK, and Hanharr, and... It goes without mention that Atton's back story ends with an eye blink.
Endorenna Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I can get Visas, Handmaiden, Mira, and HK to talk with me for a long time. Hanharr--he just goes in a circle. The thing that redeems Atton out of the 'needs to be thrown in the garbage' oblivion is that his backstory was interesting. And he'd play pazaak with me in the middle of a battle...y'know, let my Force points recharge... Kreia--no comment.
Master Zionosis Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 As far as I'm concerned, this isn't a bash KotOR II thread. I'll be glad when this announcement has finally been said. All this pointless banter about how empty K2 is, and how fulfilling K1 was. In terms of a KotOR MMO, well, if the announcement turns out to be the MMO, I'll laugh and say I told you all so. If the announcement brings other news, I'll, errrm, calmly walk on, lol.
mstr kenobi Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 i have a bad(mmo) feeling about this. sadly,the wait is gonna continue. i hope it turns out to be a "mass effect kotor",but i don't really believe that's gonna happen,i'll do leaps of joy if it does.
Web Rider Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 i hope it turns out to be a "mass effect kotor",but i don't really believe that's gonna happen,i'll do leaps of joy if it does. You mean a good RPG or one that lets you have sex with a hot blue alien? Still, I'd be OK with an MMO if it's well done, but I think it'll really take away a lot of what was great about the other Kotor games, ie: some semblance of an actual story.
Tommycat Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 You mean a good RPG or one that lets you have sex with a hot blue alien? Didn't know they were mutually exclusive Still, I'd be OK with an MMO if it's well done, but I think it'll really take away a lot of what was great about the other Kotor games, ie: some semblance of an actual story. It would be the one thing that is severely lacking in a good percentage of the MMO's out there. I would really like to see an MMO that has a very good and long lasting story. It would also be nice if you didn't have to spend days grinding womprats to gain a level haha...
