funcroc Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/575/575798p1.html Areas for Improvement Chris Avellone: As far as the story goes, I think maybe we were trying too hard for an Empire Strikes Back feel especially in terms of the revelations toward the end game and the resolutions - we just wanted the player to feel like there was something more going on, something greater, and it may not have seemed to tie together as well as it should. We could have made more of an effort to keep the game more self-contained, but the more that option was discussed toward the end, the less appealing it seemed - we wanted more of a sense that the saga would continue, that what was happening was only symptomatic of something occurring on an even greater scale. I think this is something that sat well with some gamers, but not others... Looking Ahead Chris Parker: Obsidian Entertainment has always planned to be a two-project studio. We could even go to three at some point, but we don't have any desire to grow bigger than that. We are even worried about three projects - we enjoy the unity and closeness of having less than 50 people. Everybody knows each other, we hang out together, and LAN gaming is super sweet. But to address the two-project thing, we have been working on NWN2 for several months, and are currently seeking our third project with a number of publishers. That is something we'd like to start in January or February of 2005. I can't speak of what LucasArts wants or if we've had discussions with them, but if we were to do a KOTOR III, I think it would be a large divergence from the first two. We'd need to create a completely new engine, redo the rules system, and take care of a host of other 'things'. Of course, we'd stick to the Star Wars feel and story-driven gameplay. But that's outside of anything we should talk about here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastilla_Skywalker Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 What A exellent find funcroc! As for Chris mentioning about KOTOR III this could be pretty big! (w00t) I can't speak of what LucasArts wants or if we've had discussions with them, but if we were to do a KOTOR III, I think it would be a large divergence from the first two.

But that's outside of anything we should talk about here... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Chris/Lucasarts/Obsidian (If you are reading this) please make KOTOR III,I'm sure everyone would be delighted if there is a KOTOR III and I'm sure I'm not just speaking for my self, there would be other people out there who would probably support me,I believe in you Obsidian that you will make a KOTOR III. I know theres been rumours here and there but I believe there is going to be a KOTOR III !!! GO Obsidain GO Obsidain GO Obsidain. (w00t) (w00t) Cheers Bastilla Skywalker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the letter a above its just a little cheer on for Obsidian to encourage them to make KOTOR III...I know there will be a KOTOR III,I have good instints that there will be....I raise the stakes....There WILL be a KOTOR III :D Press Teh Button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertHawk Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 This is why spam email was invented. So that we can get our way when is comes is KOTOR3. Fnord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 If LA does let Obsidian make KOTOR III Obsidian is going to have its hands full. The last saga of the Trilogy. New story, charecters, engines, rules and fixing "things". KOTOR 3 will be a while off. But I support obsidian no matter. You guys rock! On official Sith business.

Jad'en Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 No fixing things required... they would create a whole new source engine probably, or use that of Jade Empire OO im getting all tingly thinking of the possibilities :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cewekeds Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 But look at the new toy they'll get to work with. Xbox 2 with more power " Maybe after they finish one of their projects though and focus on K 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderAndrew Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 If they're doing a new engine from scratch, it will be atleast 2 years. If they license another engine, maybe sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderAndrew Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 The Source engine, with full ragdoll physics. Imagine using Force powers in a game with realistic physics and Half-Life 2 caliber graphics. I get goosebumps. Imagine racing speeders, or flying the Ebon Hawk in the Source engine. I also really want proper lightsaber sound effects when I duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad'en Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 O i dont doubt it is... but considering the minimum Ram requirements are generally 600mb for that engine then i am not exactly expecting wnoderworks, if you can see where im coming from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jad'en Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Yes but also by that time the price for consoles will of risen tremendously... Also by that time "next gen" PC's will be out and maxing out whatever consoles have to offer, its just the way it always has to be as you design the games on the PC:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I expect the next-gen consoles to launch around $300 just like the XBox and PS2 launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
