LucasArts hiring for open-world RPG

I'd love something like that. I thought the ROTS game MP dueling was fun, and could have been great if there were lots more characters.

 

Yeah like how MvC2 had, what, 50 characters? Of course if you know how to do sprite animations and have good software to assign some convincing and consistent hit detection, M.U.G.E.N. can pull off some 2-d wonders.

 

Actually, yeah ROTS had a pretty decent fighting game and it was balanced and didn't make anyone too underpowered or overpowered. It's the transition from 2-d to 3-d that gets to be troublesome. IE one of the Street Fighter 3s seemed okay but I'm surprised how poorly received it was by some (in my area at least). Sure, anyone here knows I'm all about the retro era but I do like well done 3-d fighter games. Or combat sim-esque. :p

 

SW could hold its own if it just had the right execution, sort of like the difference between twisted metals 3 & 4 vs TM Black. Doesn't need to have bells and whistles like the in depth customize-ability of smackdown for example. Just needs to be good.

 

As for the ROTS game itself, hey it was what it was and it doubled as a fighter quite well IMO. Anyone familiar with playing MegaMan X4, 5, & 6 as Zero and a bit of KOF2004 and beyond could handle this without too much trouble. I liked it. :carms:

Courtesy of Jae, it has emerged that LucasArts are now also hiring for the positions of Rendering Engineer, Level Designer and Environment Artist for a First Person Shooter.

The sad thing is that even if they do suddenly announce another X-Wing, all of our expectations will be so high that no matter what we'll end up thinking the game is nowhere near as good as it should be.

As long as the open-world RPG is Star Wars, and I can play a Jedi/Sith, I don't care what else they make it. :D

 

Of course, even that's not a given.

 

As for FPS... I wonder if the Jedi Knight/Academy series is considered FPS? :D

 

By the by... Lynk Former, I love your avatar!

That's what the Old Republic is for.

 

Bah, I'm too broke to pay a monthly subscriptioni.

 

How does that stop them making a single player, open world Star Wars RPG?

 

Let's hope it doesn't.

It's independent of the OR era really. There is no reason they couldn't have made a single player K3 (in fact, arguably it would have made more sense to do so specifically as a lead in to TOR), they just don't want anything that people might play in preference to TOR. But on the subject of a non-OR era RPG, in that eventuality I would suggest LA would probably mandate a Clone Wars era title, as that's their thing atm.

Naw, you truthfully believe a single player RPG that probably won't see the light of day in a couple of years might hurt TOR sales? I could understand if it was set on the same timeline and then players popping up, legitimately upset that it "messes up with the persistent TOR universe's canon" but otherwise nothing of the sort.

I won't deny when I first heard this rumor I though Kotor 3 like most, but then dismissed it. But then I remembered something. Back when the MMO was first announced didn't BioWare say something about making some game for people who don't like MMO's, for the console???

 

Maybe this is Kotor 3 or maybe it's just another RPG set in a different time considering how popular the two titles became.

 

Anyway, just something I remember I wanted to put out there. I'm curious to learn more about this project. Hopefully it won't be too long until we get some sort of clue...

If they create KOTOR3 internally instead of giving it to BioWare or Obsidian (or CDProject? 0_0) there is no hope for it anyways.

 

And I would definitely prefer it over TOR. More story, less grinding, more actually building your character rather than having 100 abilities, no MMO-combat but rather back to old D20. Hell yeah...
