2 - Finaly another KotOR!!

Anything the Game Gods of Bioware make is always phenomenal, and the first KotOR was one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

I truly hope, though, that there's also some single player "component" as well. Lots of people like MMOs, but I prefer single player rpgs. Although being Bioware, I'm sure whatever the make it will be awesome.

4.1 - my thought exactly

Given that the first two kotor games were xbox. MS could try using the force to get EA to make it only for the 360 but then again EA is so $$ greedy they would do better to release it on both PS3 and 360.

This will be up to LucasArts to decide what platform(s) it goes to. Star Wars is their baby.

But if it is a 360 exclusive single-player RPG then they will sell at least on 360 to me on the day of its release. The first KOTOR is the reason I bought an Xbox.

Funny thing is, I "knew" for quite some time now.
If you know ScrewAttack, they have a feature called SideScrollers, it's a podcast more or less. They talked about it being confirmed to be a MMO a while ago. Dunno how reliable they are as a source, though.

They have become at the top of the development heap as of late.

14 - the best news of the day or week (arguably)

I can't think of a game all week that has made me more excited. Kotor 3 (story) plus MMO functionality equals game of the year as far as I'm concerned. Here is hoping that the game is released multiplatform on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3:-)

17 - AHHHHH $h!t.....

This is my game. I love this series. I'm a big Star Wars fan and this really the best of any Star Wars series, and Star Wars has some good series. The first one was Classic, the second one was just great but its hard living up to how good the first one was but the 2nd one was really Phenomonal too. I dont know if the Ps3 ppl are ready for a game like this (if its like the KOTOR 1&2). They seem to only be interested in older regular style control schemes the way the series plays might over shoot them. The Force Unleashed might be more their speed.

Hey man!....I'm just saying they havent been buying alot of RPGs over there, and this is a RPG.

1.1 - how is this an xbox exclusive title being on the ps3?

how is it an anything title?

For all we know it's only on PC, or it could be Xbox pc only.

This is only a confirmation of the game in development, it hasn't been official announced and it hasn't had it's platforms listed.

1.3 - Hey Cheifsman

STFU fool

are you telling me i missed out on KOTOR and HALO because i was bias? No dude its because as a consumer with limited wealth i need to make a choice on what my money is worth!

I was playing Socom and LOVING it! At that same time you had 3 games on the xbox worth a sh!t...HALO KOTOR and GRAW and they where chargin to play them online when at the time i was having the most fun i had ever had online with Socom....

You ppl are complete mindless fukn drones...you jump to the same conclusions without even a thought going into that brain!

The 1st xbox didnt have the games and by the time i was ready for a upgrade on my gaming the PS3 was 4 months away and the 360 still only had GRAW! So i started saving my pennys with the hope of playing my favorite game Socom on the PS3!

Maybe those aren't all AAA, but to say there were "3" games is idiotic. You revert to your name calling you child. Play the games not the console, it may open your mind.

2 - ok then

let me say

MS needs to wrap this one up because it will be a system seller..

Im just going by the tags and that BioWare is not a MS studio like i thought they once where

I really liked the 1st KOTOR even if i didnt get the full game. Just bits and pieces over time..

I didnt know KOTOR was a long running series...i always thought they had that ONE game on the 1st xbox

oh well

heres to hope

2.2 - bioware only made one kotar game.

the second game was done by a different studio.

Also, bioware made games for the xbox because they wanted to, not because they were an MS studio.

4 - Basically it will be an Xbox360/PC exclusive IMO.

Star Wars in general has mainly been an Xbox franchise, not soley but mainly especially w/KOTOR.

However I wouldn't mind if it was out on all platforms even Wii but still it would be better as an Xbox 360/PC exclusive.

well thats not true but you can go fuk urself

what games have BioWare made? I really dont know who does what in terms of gaming studios unless its something i really liked...

Zipper was the first gaming studio i really stood behind. That was 3 years ago maybe

Just because you see me post on this site often doesnt mean i know alot of gaming studios and what work they have done...im just a gamer and not some dude that takes everything "gaming" to heart

so anyway

is this story not under the PS3 tag?

you know Roy i seen i miss spelled that laugh but you know what..i didnt care..you know why...because its not that important...I have a email with EVERY word mis spelled in a study done by some college. They explain how spelling is not really important because 75% of the ppl could still read it

When someone corrects other ppl's spelling it shines the kinda of light on that person that is not very flatering. In fact its a sign of a consided person!

8.2 - No that'll be Lucas Arts' call

LucasArts is going to decide what platforms any and all Star Wars games will be on.

That means it will most likely be a 100% multi-platform game.

The only reason the 1st 2 KOTOR games were not on the PS2 is because it did not have Hard Drive.
