Agreed, that was just a user's speculation

THrawn((9 · 12-15-2005, 02:51 PM

i hope that Bioware will dev the game cause i'd like to see a good job done on it and with the let down of the Second one (it was a let down for me *who had high hope for the game that were perhaps to high*) but i would like to see the end of the Story from KOTOR 2:THe Sith Lords like where they have said about going into the Unknown Regions and seeing what became of Revan and helping to destroy the Sith Empire with Revan.

Dear ilwugoalie,

Let me point out a few things reguarding to your pevious post. Firstly I do NOT have a BIG ego. Secondly I am giving everyone plenty of oppertunity to get credit to find Kotor III rumours news and speculations. I am just sharing in what I mind what other people say about Kotor III. If you want to find Kotor III news for yourself and want to take the credit for it by no means do so. I am a sharing person and like to share what I find with other Kotor fans. If you have a problem with this please don't bother looking at the Kotor III news.

Yours Sincerly

Kookaburra.

Man, lighten up. He is just looking for clues if there will be KOTOR 3. This isn't a credit or respect contest about "Who can find more or better KOTOR 3 possibility news". And does it really matter? It doesn't to me. And I really don't see a reason why should it matter to you.

No need to get upset about this. The thruth is...err...nevermind, keep it up with the speculation...

Is there any other news on this?

kookaburra · 12-31-2005, 11:32 AM

Heres a list of games for 2006/2007 that arn't offically anounced yet. Kotor III is one of them.

P.S Yes just take this as Speculation. This is just for your reading enjoyment.

Vladimir-Vlada · 12-31-2005, 11:57 AM

Link doesn't work. In which section is the news on this site?

kookaburra · 01-10-2006, 07:38 AM

Ladiess and Gentleman,

POSTED 10 January 2006.

I have found some more stuff on Kotor III, Yes I believe it's just speculation, I hope you enjoy reading this as much as me .(I advise you to take a look.)

LucasArts: KOTOR 3, Mercenaries 2
LucasArts' recent silence by no means equals inactivity. On the contrary, Knights of the Old Republic 3, in development with Obsidian Development, is in the early stages of creation for a late 2006 -- most likely a 2007 -- release. The game should feature more seamless interaction between NPCs and the lead character, as well as better, more economic interactions between party members. We predict the combat system will go entirely realtime, as opposed to partially realtime (the way it was in KOTOR 1 and 2), and RPG fans will be able to enjoy more distinct shades of gray recognized by characters instead of the black and white distinctions made in the first two iterations of the series.

If that entire prediction is true then:

Oh! UH! HUHUHUHU! RPG fans are going to be so mad. I can only imagine the look on their faces.( They go

Cygnus Q'ol · 01-10-2006, 10:18 AM

I'm confused. (as usual)

Assuming for a moment that this is true...

What exactly does this mean going "realtime as opposed to partial realtime"?

How would this change the game? Would it be better? Will it still be KOTOR?

I hope they don't screw up a good thing. Should I be worried?

Darth InSidious · 01-10-2006, 12:06 PM

Interesting...Not so keen on the "shades of grey" comment, though, myself...

Now please read what the article really said. Focus on the bolded part.

Kookaburra, why did you delete that little part?

Now, onto what the real article said, it is all speculation, and predicitions. Why would they change the system? In fact, the only 'proof' they offered was artwork from KOTOR 2. If they prove that K2 is being made, I won't trust them with this 'prediction' about a combat system change.

kookaburra · 01-10-2006, 11:19 PM

@ Hallucination

I have no idea why, I didn't even notice the missing part. The proof is in the link any way.

IndianaSolo · 01-11-2006, 01:15 AM

It's that website's prediction for 2006, nothing more nothing less. It has as much credibility as me making predictions for 2006.

Fallout 3 will be made. It will be real time.

See? That's about as credible as IGN's article is in terms of how much truth there is to it.

You need to make a website though...

Cygnus Q'ol · 01-11-2006, 11:18 AM

No one ever explained HOW this would change the game.

Can someone give me an example of the difference?

How would the game play be different?

Would it be the graphics and the look of movement or the action and fighting or what?

What would be the differences for PC and console users?

**RedHawke** · 01-11-2006, 11:28 AM

It is just a websites predictions, holds as much water as my own, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it Cygnus.

Best comparison I can think of (at least for real-time combat) is Morrowind vs TSL..

In Morrowind, when you encounter/engage in combat.. there is no "pausing" and thinking about strategy.. it's a "you better hope you either have quick fingers, proper hot keys, etc.. OR you can run like a mother.." Granted, you can still "switch" your inventory, but there are games out there that don't even allow this. Also, in Morrowind, in order to combat (swing weapon, throw, pull bowstring), something has to be "pressed" per action (ie, button-mashing)

TSL being turn based allows you to "pause", que actions for the entire party then resume based on your choices... no pressing buttons to swing, block etc. No strafing controls, no nothing.. it's all based on a die system where your skills and abilities adjust your "roll" to determine effectiveness and success/fail.

I can only imagine the horror of a real-time scenario with more than one Party Member (excluding the fact that until stoffe fixed it, Pary AI sucked)...

If KotOR III is to be a "true" real-time combat game, it's going to become more of a button-mashing nightmare rather than a storyline driven RPG (IMO)

I prefer the KOTOR style than Morrowind style. IMO, RPG combat is about strategy (albeit KOTOR's combat was a little too easy to have to worry about strategy), and if you go to full real time there's no chance for real strategy.

JediMasterDeath · 01-12-2006, 05:23 AM

Hey there guys and gals

I've read this entire forum tonight and would first off like to say !!!MAJOR KUDOS TO KOOKABURRA!!!. Shes found at the very least 60% of the KOTOR 3 news we've heard. I didn't see anyone really thanking her for it either -.- though mabye you guys did. HOWVER considering I did a Find (on this page) search for the word Thank on all 3 threads and in total only found 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 OF WHICH WAS IN SOMEONES SIG. (I HOPE I MISSED SOME -.-) I WOULD SAY SOME OF YOU SHOULD THANK THE PEOPLE WHOM SEARCH TO FIND US OUR KOTOR 3 INFO, AND STOP DOING NOTHING BUT SAYING "I'll believe it when I see it."

Quick question, do you believe in the wind? I for ONE am extermly glad you find this info for us, THANK YOU ALL.

Kotor III speculation on knights.com????

posted by Com Raven on main page.

Quote:

So, you read the bit below about Obsidian Entertainment doing a pure action-combat KotOR 3? Laughed about how crazy that ideas sounds? Alright, then you might be prepared to read this

It seems that Obsidian is hiring a Audio Programmer for an unannounced game. Not too exciting in itself.

It gets more interesting once you look at the details:
Audio Programmer - PS3, XBOX 360, PC
Unannounced - 3rd Person, ACTION, RPG

So, a few days after IGN (who are despite some occasional wacky predictions still a great source for gaming news) proclaims a Xbox360 action-based KotOR 3, we find that Obsidian (the most likely candidate for KotOR 3 since BioWare is busy with its own IPs) is working on an action rpg for the 360, PC (a sure bet for any future KotORs) and the PS3 (with the PS3 having a HDD this time around, a port seems likely).

Feel free to draw your own conclusions, and to discuss them along with the rest of the community on our KotOR III Boards.

Feel free to disagree or agree.

total speculation.

another interesting thing??? Kotor 3 ?????? (Just a guess)

People have talked about this before and reacted with "What do they mean action RPG?!" Which I don't know why really. KOTOR could be considered an action RPG, there's a lot of...action.

They are refering to the control interface. An action RPG implies a more twitch-based scheme that you would be unable to pause/assign commands.

Hallucination · 01-16-2006, 06:53 PM

^And as you can see, that would change the party control quite a bit.

Okay Ladies and Gents,

again I have found some more Kotor III rumour/speculation, read this:

Quote:

Obsidian Working On Next-gen KOTR 3?
According to various reports, Obsidian Entertainment - developing house of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords - is currently working on an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game. Although the actual title hasn't been revealed, chances are at least reasonable that it's the third Star Wars game in the Knights of the Old Republic series, currently labeled KOTR 3. We'll keep you updated if Obsidian makes any official comments.

DOUBLE TREAT

OH my we are in for a real Kotor III rumour treat tonight. Of course still take this as a Kotor III rumor.

look at this.

Obsidian's Quadruple Set
The dev team behind KOTOR: The Sith Lords has new games in store. What are they?
by Douglass C. Perry

Quote:

January 17, 2006 - Obsidian Entertainment is currently working on three unannounced role-playing games, according to job listing site Creative Heads.

Comprised of former several Black Isle and BioWare creators, Obsidian appears to be expanding with work expressly for next-generation and PC platforms. One game, listed as a third-person action-RPG for Xbox 360 and PS3, is possibly the third in the Knights of the Old Republic series. Neither LucasArts nor Obsidian would confirm a renewal of their work done on Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords. According to a source close to the development team, Obsidian may not have sealed the deal yet for KOTOR 3.

The second role-playing game listed (Obsidian is looking for an entry-level programmer for this title) is an RPG slated for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. This second RPG is an original intellectual property called Project New Jersey and uses the Unreal 3 Engine, according to Obsidian employees. Along with job postings for Neverwinter Knights 2 (announced in August 2004), Obsidian is also creating an adventure-RPG for Xbox 360 and PS3 (for which it's in search of a senior graphics programmer).

In addition to the Creative Heads listing is Obsidian's own job listings.
