Arclam Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I saw an add on gamespot and it said " Coming to PC on February 15." At least I think that is what it said. :cool: Edit: Yes, that is what the ad said. And to talk anout the hardware side of things, I disliked playing KOTOR on a 9600xt, I loved the battle animation but seeing them at 15 frames did them no justice. I could not stand trying them on a Geforce 2, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oherror Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I played KotOR 1 on a Athlon 900 CPU and a GF2 MX400 decently enough. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well that because you don't max out the graphic settings and expect it to run fine...if you don't mind running at a lower res then you should have no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Just is the system requirements for this game anyway? Out of curiousity I went to the LucasArts main siste and it doesn't list them. What the hell is up with that? The game is less than a month from being released and they don't have the system requirements up?!?!? Don't you guys know the system reuirements, Obsidian? have you shared this information with LucasArts yet? What is the freaking delay? Very bad form to not list the system requirements with a game less than a month from release. Get on your publisher's ass so they can get their work done.

Judge Hades Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The big deal is that a game is less than a month away from release and such basic information has yet been stated. You would think they would know the minimum requirements and recommended requirements by now and if they do why not post them on the website like many other publishers/developers do when a game is about to be released.

Something is up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think there's a lot riding on this release, for both L.A. and Obsidian. Mike Gallo has been quoted as saying that the success of KOTOR 1 and 2 will ensure the Star Wars RPG franchise. Link. If they need more time to polish up the PC version, they should take it. While I never suffered the XBox problems or multiple "broken quests" that some have complained of, the errors I did encounter were annoying and detracted from a very good game. Most seem to be the kinds of errors that could easily be eliminated from the PC release. I wouldn't mind a 2nd Quarter release at all if some of the additional content was restored. That said, "the powers that be" should keep us informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakron Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 God if the SW:KotORII model is the future of Star Wars RPG then I rather not have Star RPGs at all. The fact is there is not much riding on this release, they aimed at the xmas sales rush to make as much profit out if it and just drop it, LucasArts is now marketing Mercenaries and then Stars Wars: Republic Commandos. I think the only ones that have things at stake is Activision since they are handing the european release . And as Hades said, its one month away and no system specs with likely means another rushed release since they are still woking on the PC coding and not moved into beta testing of the PC version.

Something is up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good point, Hades. At this point I am absolutely stumped on what the heck the deal is with TSL. I've been checking every website I can, and all I can get is 'system specs are coming soon', or, like Walmart did, putting the KOTOR specs up for KOTOR II. They've listed [correct me if I'm wrong] System Requirements: * Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, XP * Pentium III * 1 GHz * 128 MB RAM * 4 GB hard drive space * 32 MB OpenGL 1.4-compatible PCI or AGP 3D video card * DirectX 9.0b-compatible sound card * CD-ROM 4x This bothers me because I've been saving for a few months now for KOTOR II and I just barely meet the requirements for the original KOTOR - I have a 1 GHz P3 [although it keeps telling me I have a 996 Mhz and therefore can't play it <_<], plenty of HDD space, and KOTOR 1 ran fine - of course, having a 256 MB ATi 9600 card and 384 MB of RAM helped too. If I'm going to need a new processor to run KOTOR II because it needs a 1.5 GHz, I'm going to go stick the cash I've saved in the bank and try and deal with my disappointment now instead getting all psyched out about a game I won't be able to play. And since the game is going to be released on 2/8 - which does seem to be the release date, regardless of whatever anyone else is saying - I find LA / Obsidian's lack of information disturbing. Or, to quote Darth Vader- "The Emperor is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress". Lord Revan was most displeased with your lack of combat skill. -Something I wish they'd put in KOTOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
