Gabrielle Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 LA blows. Obsidian should make it. I loved the story in K2, just too damn bad they did not "finish" the game but were rushed by LA to release it.
Craftsman Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 I honestly think KOTOR3 will be an Xbox 2 launch title, AND will the the first of a new type of RPG's.
Gorth Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Let LA have it themselves. I would prefer Obsidian to use their time on other new things, if not completely new setting, then at least some relatively unexplored one (as far as crpgs go). Of course, reading that their next game might be powered by an Unreal engine, I did lose interest in whatever they might come up with next, so... Back to playing PS:T and BG2 again “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Kdy-worker 1138 Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I would say Blizzard,since the Companies that have been making This Star wars "RPG" so far,has turned it into a mindless Loothunt of items with insane Stats,not to mention the Horde of useless foes that you cut down like grass we might as well get the masters of said type of game to make it.

Bounce Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 By the way: I thought you guys choose BioWare or "Other", I'm shocked that most of you chose Obsidian! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think they had big plans with the story & the game itself, but not enough time. They wrote a story, made the levels, made the scripts, recorded the voices, made the animations, made upgrades to the engine, tested it & finally sent it to QA. In just 13 months mind you. I'm 100% sure if they are given some more time, they can really make a masterpiece - But if the publishers keeps screaming at the devs to finish at this date at this excact time, it can be tough Edit: K2 is OK, I just want bigger outdoor levels next time Freeedoooommm!

Not a fan of the Unreal engine, I take it? Oh, I love a good shooter I played Unreal 2 several times as well as Pain Killer and Red Faction, a much under rated game. I would just like somebody to make crpgs too, not only shooters with a bit of story and rpg elements thrown in for good measure. For some reason, Doom was never my thing and never got into Halflife, so I can't really say why some of them catches my interest and why others don't. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I voted other, for NO ONE, at least no one til KotOR 2 is finished. Harvey

BLIZZARD ?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!
Gorth Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Ever tried Unreal? 10x better than Unreal 2 Never got around to it. I even got it as bundled software a looong time ago, when buying a soundcard. Unfortunately, the rest of my computer wasn't up to it back then. Forgot about it when I did get some decent hardware “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Spooky Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Blizzard makes killer rts games - But rpg? .. nah <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are mistaken, Blizzard MADE killer rts games, warcraft 3 wasn't so great, and don't even get me started about Starcraft Ghost, we want starcrat2 damnit STARCRAFT 2 !!! but noooooo, you had to go dev that WOW bull**** instead, damn money-grubing bean-counting mercantile sons of *******. You want a good rts, play Rise of Nations, there's a grade AAA game, expansion included.

Spooky Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Oh I'm not mistaken friend, I know I'm not the only one, which makes this whole business even more infuriating.
Illbleed Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Bioware - good choice, they know how to make a good rpg Obsidian - same here, but they need ENOUGH TIME (damn you LA) Lucas Arts - bad joke hu? Blizzard - Irritated Statement : Do they know how to make an rpg in kotor style? I don't think so. Other - Errr .... no! Square Enix - *LOL*
metadigital Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Other: Me. I can knock together a couple of JPegs sandwiched between a few (hundred) pages of dialogue that you read through pressing "Next". And I'll do it for the lowest bid, AND I'll do it in less than twelve months. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

I am afraid they give you the OK cause low costs = more money to make!! Isn't that the LA philosophy?? :ph34r:
Bounce Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Bah crazy LA ... The best SW game ever created (K1 & K2) and they still rush it. Go figure

I think it's safe to say that quality is the furthest thing on their minds when determining what games to make and how long to allow them to be made.

dufflover Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 My top 3 would be: 1. BioWare (a failsafe choice) 2. Obisdian (potential for good and disaster) 3. Raven (yes, they make FPS but they got good SW reputation) Technically/game engine wise, I don't think it matters *too* much cos it'll be a new modern engine. I guess it comes down to story and persuasive power against LucasArts.
