Adria Teksuni Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 No, K2 will be an XBox exclusive. Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.
Drakron Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 EA multi-plataform games and all versions get released exactly the same day, if one is completed they hold it until the others are done.
nyugisszorny Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 The only thing that lowers my dissapointment is the release of the Trilogy DVD. It will be sooooo good. Only 10days left:-P
Darth Somethingorother Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 In reply to the above post by Viper 1000, I'd have to say that I don't see why Pc gamings days are numberd. All games are developed on PC's. PC games are easily and inexspensively, for the customer, patched. PC games can be modded. PC graphics will always be better. Older PC's can be upgraded. U can get adapters for console controllers so that they work on PC's. There are also slightly less legal ways of playing any game u like on a PC. The possibilities are endless for PC's, whereas consoles get outdated, then you have to fork out a fortune for the newer version, after only getting 2 years worth of play out of it, the first year of which was filled with crap games. Secondly, IMHO, it is unfair to critiscise the Devs for the release dates, they were clearly working their ***es off for a simultaneous release, it's just that LA probably pulled the plug, for the prophits. BOYCOTT DECEMBER!!! Blue lorry yellow lorry blue lorry yellow lorry blorry. D'oh.
Drakron Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 No, K2 will be an XBox exclusive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes that is why there is a PC version as well. I see Obsidian is keeping up Black Isle moderation tradiction ....

Just look at Pacific Assault. Cheers!

I believe that was what she was responding too.
Evil_Manbeastly_Beast Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 that sumone was me if it actually matters which i doubt it does
TSAdmiral Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Sooner or later, a dev would have to comment sometimes on some topic on this message board. As everyone has been stating before, it's not the two months, its the stringing along we felt. I think it would help everyone settle down if a dev were to simply give an honest explanation.
Drakron Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 No offense, but IMHO EA games besides the EA sports games, are mediocre at best. Just look at Pacific Assault. Cheers! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No offence taken, I dont like EA much (they killed too many companies) but as publishers they are very good at placing games in the stores. My point is EA (a huge publisher) simply holds to make all versions being released on the same day, saying that "the Xbox version is done so we have to release it" is complete BS, they can hold release. Heck "Vampire:Bloodlines" is done and its not released due to contract (Half Life 2 have to be released before it) ...

SW:KotOR2:TSL have Xbox and PC versions, its as Xbox exclusive as Silent Hill 3 is a PS2 exclusive.

Drakron Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 More than M$ did?:-P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Origin, Bullfrong and Jane's. I never forgive then from not seeing the last Crusader game or another Wing Commander.
Delerius_Jedi Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 In terms of this release problem EU would be the European Union. Where I am sure KOTOR2 will be pirated by the millions after this treatment by LucasArts.
Feza Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Thank you Akari for posting. Personally I'm not blaming this screw up on you Obsidian folks at all, it very much looks like LucasArts are the ones. Heck, they could have softened the blow a little to the PC fans, the way it was told was a bit insulting - as though the PC was an afterthought. What I don't get at all is why the international version Xbox K2 will be pushed back to then as well. They do realize that this move will probably encourage pirates, don't they? (NOTE: I am in no way endorsing piracy, just making a comment )
Feza Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Well, back on topic... I don't suppose since the PC version will be delayed now, the powers that be would now reconsider additional content for the PC folks ?
Evil_Manbeastly_Beast Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Well, back on topic... I don't suppose since the PC version will be delayed now, the powers that be would now reconsider additional content for the PC folks ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> excellent idea! it would serve atleast some compensation...but if there was additional content then LA will just say that pc version was delayed BECAUSE of additional content......or even more likely they will say that they gave pc gamers additional content to shut them up about the release date.....lol all of my ''additonal content''s are all lined up! lol (i realise this is a very sad thing to find amusing)
Delerius_Jedi Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Well, back on topic... I don't suppose since the PC version will be delayed now, the powers that be would now reconsider additional content for the PC folks ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good question, Feza. Will the PC owners will be compensated for this?
Darth Somethingorother Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Well, back on topic... I don't suppose since the PC version will be delayed now, the powers that be would now reconsider additional content for the PC folks ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol! Like they care that much about us PC users! Blue lorry yellow lorry blue lorry yellow lorry blorry. D'oh.
steelfiredragon Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 thanks for the explanation. HOWEVER OBSIDIAN, that DL content for the Xbox version of KOTOR II, can you wait to ship it till after the pc version ships???? Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome
nyugisszorny Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 They give us 11 lightsaber colors instead of 10 and than we have to be happy:-) No, i don't need aditional content, i need the game:-D

Like they care that much about us PC users! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sorry darth somethingorother but im afraid i will have to disagree with you for once....im sure they do care its just they dont care THAT much....but pc usually has better extra content than xbox.....like a few days ago i borrowed my friends version of jedi academy cos he told me you could make any character/vehicle/thing you wanted!!!! how cool is that?!?!?!?!?!?!
