Knights of the Old Republic

I just read the X-box magazine and it says that a new RPG game called Knights of the Old Republic will come out in the fourth quarter this year.

It looks like a lot of fun!

I heard about this. It is based 400 years before TPM.

I think the graphics will be great anyway....but will the game itself feel like Star Wars?

You definately can't judge it by the movies because it is set waaay before them.

I;ve talked about KOTOR loads of times. It has been in development on the PC for ages. And it is going to be DAMN good, by the looks of things.

Is it also going to be available for online play?

Not sure, but I would guess not b/c they have galaxies coming out for PC.

Why not do both? It would sure get moe people online a the same time.

True....but if you draw too many people on at the same time you could upset the balance of the world...... 😉

It would probably slow down connection time for us 56k users.

True....I was talking about the real world.....what if the water purifiers all decide to go on strike and not work 'cause they wanna play!!!!!!!.....Star Wars could cause chaos 😉

Well it causes chaos whenever the movies come out.

Chaos can be good 😈 😉 I mean hey it is Star Wars!

Go Star Wars!

Absolutely!.....what would us poor directionless people do w/o Star Wars to take our mind off the cares of the world?

Who knows.

KOTOR is a story-bassed game and not a persistent world and so might not be suited for on-line play.

That said, I expect it to have the same range of options as the Baldur's Gate games, which were made by the same people. These games were two of the finest ever to come on the PC, each lasted many months of playing time with almost totally non-linear scenarious, branching plotlines and dialogue choices and even in-party romances based on the sex and profession of your character and those with him. The multi-player options (co-operative play only) were astounding.

When they said that Bioware were doing a Star Wars RPG as well, it was a VERY happy day.

I think I have a thread about this buried deep inside this section somewhere; in wich I posted a link with some details about the game. I'll see if I can find some details again

Yeaaa....***stubborn childish voice***...I wanna play now 😉

I note that, just to irritate me, its PC release is being delayed until after the X-Box. PURELY because they don't want it to calsh with Galaxies. Bastards. I'd rather they ditched Galaxies, myself...

Those jerks! How could they delay any SW game???
