Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (xbox360)...MMO??? OH NOES!!!

Good Lord, smas, there is a pause function endemic to the KOTOR battle system. Keep saying that all you like, but I have to say it is a weird opinon. Any reasonable analysis of that system will soon see how useless it would be for multiplay. Quite why anyone would like such a broken system is beyond me too; it was one of the game's faults (and indeed led to them making a new one, which I understand is considered much better, for Jade Empire). All you did in KOTOR was load up on damage and pick flurry or load up on force and spam lightning; that killed every foe you ever met with no challenge. That is a long, long way from the definition of a good system.

Broken systems can hang around in single player games because people can be self-absorbed enough- destroying everything they meet with no contest, not to care, though that is a great shame. In multiplayer it would never, EVER do, for obvious reasons.

Dude,

I'm not arguing with you at all. If you said its not going to work, fine, its not going to work, thus me not wanting to play it. That's all.

All I said was I might consider it, but if you think its not going to work, then its not going to work, and I wont consider it.

I dont like RGP's at all, especially MMO's, and the only one I liked was KOTAR because of the battle system and story. You obviously didnt like it, but I did. If they changed that formula for any reason, being an MMO, or just another game, I'm not going to like it.

If your going to keep on continueing to tell me that the system is broken and it wouldnt work for MMO's, fine....I never said it would in the beginning. All I said was that I might consider buying it if the system was there, and if it was a free model. Obviously, you dont think so, and because you probalby like RPG's alot more than I do then yeah, they'll change. If they do, I wont buy it.

The player base is always subject to the pettiness of the developers in the end, anyways..

the best time to play an MMO is like a few years after its been released, so you don't have to deal with the gameplay adjustment soap opera

If they mixed Fable fighting engine with Knights of the old republic it would be unstoppable.

If they mixed Halo 2 RPG elements with Final Fanatsy it would be the best game ever.

Played SWG for 4 years, and I'd be glad for the change. The continuity has always been a problem with SWG, and Sony have ripped shreds into the Star Wars license, nothing is holy with them gits, but anyway, if this turns out to be more than a rumour, I will be very interested.

Last week, Nintendo denied it was working on a DS redesign...72 hours before it announced that it was working on a DS redesign. Electronic Arts has been doing a similar publicity pas de deux about the " next-generation entertainment product" that its BioWare studio announced last October.

Whatever could this be?

Despite rumors pegging the project as being a massively multiplayer online role-playing sequel to its acclaimed RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare kept its wall of silence clamped firmly down for over a year. Speaking with GameSpot after the EA buyout, studio cofounders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuck deflected questions about the game in development at their new-ish Austin studio. "We haven't revealed any details about the game," said Muzyka. "It's supersecret right now."

That secrecy evaporated this past July when EA CEO John Riccitiello casually revealed that, yes, a KOTOR MMORPG was in the works. Since then, details on the project--which other EA executives still refuse to speak of--have been nonexistent, with its platforms, price, and exact launch date still unknown.

"LucasArts and BioWare invite you to attend the official unveiling of the game that's been rumored about for years," reads the invite before providing event-locale details. The gathering will be held in San Francisco on the afternoon of October 21, just more than a month after the release of the latest Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed. At a presentation at the Game Developers Conference this past March, producer Hayden Blackman said that the fast-selling game was settled on after a proposed third single-player KOTOR game was ruled out.

Id still prefer a true sequel than a damn MMO, but im still excited.

Could this be good news?

Cant wait.

Im sorry, I just dont think an MMO can be nearly as good as the first KOTOR. Yes its cool to play with like 30 people, but the actual gameplay and story will be shit. Id rather have a incredibly designed single player game then an MMO where everyone runs around as a jedi.

This is Bioware we're talking about, you naysayer mhm

And after Mass Effect I was hoping for a real KOTOR with the cinematic flash ME had, and possibly real time combat.

^co-signed.

That would be cool and I hope they do something like that, but an MMO opens up much bigger areas to explore and plenty of stuff that was brushed over. The gameplay might be shit but I cant wait to find out what kind of stuff we'll be able to do, like maybe join the Sith army and fight the Republic, or something with Mandolorians - I'm thinking of the story the dude tells in Kotor 1 about how he jumped down onto a planet on a ship or something, that would be awesome to see with 30+ people playing the same war.

What would be cool, is if it included Kotor's lightside/darkside thing, so instead of actually picking a character who is on the good/evil team like most MMOs, everyone starts basically neutral and aligns themselves how they want through actions, quests, etc, that way you can swap over whenever you fell like it.

Oh God!!

Here it comes....

I still live in the hope that this will be a KotOR III MMO. Meaning that we get a 30+ hour long singleplayer part, and then after that we get to explore and quest in the galaxy as an MMO after the events of the singleplayer story.

Reason for me to actualy have such a dream is that the EA's chief executibe dude said that they were developing a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game that would have a massively multiplayer online component to it.

That would be cool, because then you could fall, then be redemed, and so on, instead of being good or evil the entire time.

This thread came first.

I feel the same sentiments regarding the "Rather have a straight up sequel than this mmo stuff"

I mean, how in depth and engrossing can an mmo get compared to KOTOR?
