My ATI 9800 XT runs KOTOR flawlessly at high resolution. Keep in mind that KOTOR (and KOTOR 2) are written in OpenGL code. Nvidia cards have historically run OpenGL better than ATI, but I have had absolutely no problems.

Is this one of those posts which is supposed to have more than one level of meaning? All good things come to those who wait (hackneyed as hell but often true). Many, many posts I've read have complained that the Xbox version was rushed out (with bugs) for Xmas.

Why then, because of the ending...? *shock* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd REALLY like more information re why things became so emotional. I hope it was due to the storyline/characters (somehow??) and not to all the work necessary to iron out bugs and improve framerate.

If the only games we are going to get for the PC are Xbox conversions and HL2 & Doom3 look-alikes, I'm going to be buying less and less games until one day when I will quit gaming altogether. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good point. And it's one of the things I'm worried about.

I hear you and agree. It's just that the PC is capable of much more than the box, and it's a shame that a game has to be "dumbed down" just so the box can handle it. You're right, it's about the gameplay, but were not getting all that is possible on reasonably new systems. Doom 3 is a terrible game to play but the graphics are great (although kind of dark), and if you see the Xbox struggle with it you'll understand what I mean. This is becoming more and more of an issue as developers go for as many bucks as possible (I guess you can't blame them but is sucks)

Hey, I was just reading an article over at starwars.com by Chris Avellone of Obsidian. He was writing about the development cycle for Kotor 2. One of the main factors, according to him, was working around the "Xbox's limitations." Anybody know what that means for us PC gamers? Is this the reason we have smaller maps, poorer graphics, etc.? Is it true? Another game written for the box and ported to the PC as an afterthought. This is becoming more and more common. Thank God for Half Life 2 and even Doom 3. Maybe PC games will finally get good enough to "break" the damn consoles.
