New KOTOR 3 For Christmas?

Posted by Dana Vinson - Friday, June 08, 2007 10:09 AM

Earlier this year, BioWare announced the formation of a mini-studio devoted to developing the new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic MMO. Since then, BioWare has remained mum about the extent of what they are developing, but rumor has it that they might be working on KOTOR 3 for Next Gen systems like the Xbox 360.

The Internet is ablaze as most fans are tepid about the MMO, but absolutely getting their panties in a bunch at the thought of a new KOTOR RPG.

Perhaps there will be some sort of interesting announcement at next month's E3, but if not, fans will have to continue to cross their fingers.

Computer and Videogames: KOTOR 3 tipped for Christmas

Fans have a good reason to be tepid about the MMO, SWG did everything they could to run off the people that was there from the begining of the game and make it as boring and unplayable as possible. I had given up on KOTOR 3, but its damn good news if they do make it. I had been debating on buying a 360 around christmas anways, if that game is out, then i probably will. Then I will lay the hell out of it, enjoy it immensily, then get pissed off at the crappy ending, just like i did with KOTOR 1 & 2.

Posted by Asrugan - Friday, June 8, 2007 2:25 PM

It won't nessacarily be rushed, it could use an estalibhed engine (say, Mass Effect's) and they just have to put in content.

Posted by sdc10 - Friday, June 8, 2007 2:55 PM

i just hope they set up some kinda plot outline, not having some kinda conversation where you have to establish what path revan took, and then what path the exile took and wether or not they were male or female

Posted by MidnightMarauder - Friday, June 8, 2007 3:53 PM

KOTOR an MMO!? Bioware please don't do this to me. KOTOR is arguably my favorite series of all time, and definitley my favorite x-box series of all time, but I don't know about them making this game an MMO.

If they make it an MMO I won't gurantee, but I would say I might not by this game if that is the case. Even though the first two games were two of my favorite x-box games of all time, I think this is definitley the wrong direction for KOTOR, which many fans think is the finale.

Posted by sykoh - Friday, June 8, 2007 4:06 PM

Knights of the Old Republic is my favorite game ever made so I really hope they are making a 3rd one.

Posted by kieran601 - Friday, June 8, 2007 4:09 PM

i agree with old_school_soldier on his feelings of not wanting the game to get rushed. i do believe the games, at least the first one, are fantastic though. kotor is probably my favorite or at least one of my favorite games of all time but id rather wait an extra year and have an amazing game than wait 3 months and get the glitches and ending kotor2 had.

Posted by sykoh - Friday, June 8, 2007 4:13 PM

Oh also, the guy who did Carths voice is doing voice acting in Mass Effect also! Carth is my favorite character of all time so yea...just wanted to put that out there.

Posted by freeway8989 - Friday, June 8, 2007 4:35 PM

I never played the second, but I loved the first.

The only thing that disappointed me about the first was the final cutscene when *SPOILERS* the Star Forge sank into its own energy field. The graphics were crap. And while I don't care about IN GAME graphics, cutscene can easily be made to have at least decent graphics. Those graphics just looked rushed and took away from the epicness and finality of the last cutscene.

Posted by aleatoric - Friday, June 8, 2007 7:24 PM

i just shat myself, and by the way sykoh carth was a whiny little girl. My commander turned on me waaaa, i cant trust you waaaaa. i lost my penis waaaaa- carth= not cool

Posted by Naruto_Style - Friday, June 8, 2007 7:58 PM

ohhh happy day!!! i the first 2 games were awesome. im really curious about the stroyline. has there been any rumors?

*unrelated* i would also like to that i am SOOOOOO happy that paris hilton went back to jail. the house arrest thing pissed me off, but shes back in the slammer and all is right with the world

Wtf I refreshed the page twice and it put my other comment in twice... that's weird.

Posted by jay19 - Friday, June 8, 2007 10:51 PM

I knew all of thos letters that I sent will pay off!!!!

Posted by Shryock - Friday, June 8, 2007 10:54 PM

Sigh.... i dunno why people take G4s feed that seriously! G4 doesnt look into the background of stories, they are just looking for an article that will make them seem like they are ahead of "Geek News"...

Posted by Shryock - Friday, June 8, 2007 10:55 PM

^^^Comment continued from above:^^^

Well, these are generally the same rumors that pop up every 4-6 months, and when I've tracked-back the sources sited they always lead all the way back to when Bioware first announced that they had formed a studio working on a top-secret MMO. Everyone then said "OMG KOTOR MMO FTW!!!!"

Posted by Shryock - Friday, June 8, 2007 10:58 PM

^^^Continued from above:^^^

And that's where most of the newer rumors crop up. Someone doing a search or just browsing around stumbles upon one of these old threads and doesn't realise it's old, or been disputed, and thinks it's something new and then quicker that you can say "sith" we get a new rumor based off the old one (just FYI, this is typical of internet rumors in general, they never go away as long as the topic is still being talked about, they just fade for a bit then come back with a vengeance)

Ok, that said, lets look at this....

Posted by Shryock - Friday, June 8, 2007 10:59 PM

^^^Contined from above:^^^

Posted in the Bioware forums by Chris Priestly, Community Coordinator for Bioware, concerning OXM's "new" rumor, and the debate that sprung up about it there:

"How about I prove you wrong by saying that we are not working on KotOR 3 and have no plans to start? It may be a rumor or a hope or a wish or whatever, but we are not currently working on KotOR 3 and we have no plans to work on KotPR 3 at this (or any afaik) time."

^^^Continued from above:^^^

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a new KOTOR game, too, but I don't see it happening soon. LucasArts is busy with Force Unleashed, Fracture, and the Indiana Jones game. Bioware has Mass Effect, the secret MMO, an exclusive game for the DS and I think one for the PS3, too. And Obsidian (the developer under Bioware for KOTOR 2) is busy with an expansion for NWN 2, an Aliens RPG, and an unnamed RPG being co-developed with Sega (and which, I highly doubt, would be KOTOR 3)

They only possibility I still see is if the Bioware MMO does in fact turn out to be a KOTOR-based one -- but I wouldn't expect that since all of Bioware's recent staements lean towards things like "developing our own properties" and not so much on the licensed ones. Who knows though, it still might be, and we can hope

Posted by Taska - Saturday, June 9, 2007 4:34 AM

If Kotor 3 comes out it won't be made by Bioware, they said that on the wiki. Don't count dangit!

Posted by sdc10 - Saturday, June 9, 2007 6:42 AM

o ya because wikipedia is a very trustworthy source

Posted by Shryock - Saturday, June 9, 2007 1:27 PM

didnt the creator himself say that Wikipedia is not entirely reliable....

Posted by Shryock - Saturday, June 9, 2007 1:28 PM

Posted by IamRevan32 - Sunday, June 10, 2007 1:34 PM

I have read on the bioware website that they are no longer doing games for any other companies, so I would like to know what this mini-studio is called and if they have a website, and why they are waiting to make this news official.

Posted by sdc10 - Sunday, June 10, 2007 5:02 PM

maybe well get an announcement at e3 next month *fingers crossed*

Finally! Ever since I beat KOTOR I & II a while back, I always dreamed of KOTOR III.

Posted by mikek1993 - Friday, September 7, 2007 6:40 PM

I hope to god this game is more like KOTOR 1 instead of 2 but better with more character development longer story line and harder fights
