XboxSithLord Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 If Kotor2 is done, then what is stoping it from releasing, and yes i know they have 2 tweak some stuff, but does that take 4 months?
Daaave Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 They have to do all the music and localisation as well as fixing bugs and stuff. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.
Daaave Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 They have to compose and record music for the entire game which will probably take a long time, also I'm guesssing there will be a lot of bugs to fix. So they will have to do this and then bug test again to check they have fully corrected the problems and then thay have to translate everything into different languages so I think 4 months is a resonable amount of time.

MalaksBane Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Testing software and fixing the problems that are found, the effort and skill for this required is frequently underestimated. Just think that every time a (major) bug is found and fix, a whole bunch of tests has to be run again to insure that the fix did not cause any new bugs.
GhostofAnakin Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Advertising, voice acting, musical scores, packaging, and whatever else LucasArts does once Obsidian passes it along.

Rubber Ducky Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 As was already said, they need to polish the game and add all the sound. I'm sure that they've got the game itself done, but the game itself is only a small piece of what needs to be done, beleive it or not. Then they have to shackle the play testers to the floor and have them play through everything, which could take a few days. Then when they fix any errors that were found, they need to go over what they fixed in detail to make sure they didn't just create an error breeding ground.
Darque Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 but does that take 4 months <{POST_SNAPBACK}> These things take time.
Product of the Cosmos Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 but does that take 4 months <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We'll see how long it takes 4 Months isnt long to wait IMO. In the meantime we have one helluva RPG comin out next month-Fable!
Grandpa Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 but does that take 4 months <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL! If you ask Troika, they'll say "no"! And look what happened to TOEE!
mastaGAW Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 What is Fable's date its been delayed so much? I have NCAA Football and a real life to hold me until KOTOR2 comes out.
Darque Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I think Fable was supposed to have been released, like, 2 years ago?
Darth Sirius Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I think Fable was supposed to have been released, like, 2 years ago? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :D yeah and it still hasnt appeared
Rubber Ducky Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Also, they might be holding out on us to release it during the christmas rush for maximized profits, as well as allowing Lucas Arts and Obsidian to polish their parts of the game to perfection in te mean-time.
Product of the Cosmos Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I think Fable was supposed to have been released, like, 2 years ago? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :D yeah and it still hasnt appeared <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's pretty much confirmed now, this date is not a developer speculation. Sep 14th or 15th(not sure which one) for Fable. I'm eager to actually enjoy a video game. lol. It's been a while..

Grand_Commander13 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Just this weekend, Akari said that you couldn't play through the game without encountering game-stopping bugs. Bug hunting/killing takes a lot of effort; you gotta give 'em time to do this stuff, or it'll be KOTOR 1 all over again. Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out
mastaGAW Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Theres so many games out there to enjoy till KOTOR2. NCAA Football 2005, Samurai Warriors, Chroicles of Riddick, Madden, Morrowind, Halo2 and if I get bored with XBOX time to move on to my favorite system GBA SP. I don't even have all those games but I know I could rent them if I get bored and have spare change I could rent them. Probaly won't need to anyway as its football season and that means not only do I have to go to practice but school starts up soon.
EnderAndrew Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I need to pick up a copy of NCAA Football, but if I do, I won't get any work done on Fanout! I'm curious how Nebraska's new West Coast offense is represented in that game, especially considering there really wasn't a depth chart released for Nebraska when that game was being made.
Darth Ravok Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 I actually enjoy the anticipation of waiting for a game but 4 monthes does seem like a long time now I relaly can't wait to see wihat obsidian did with KOTOR:TSL
KOTORFanactic Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 (edited) First off, there is more than just tweaking to do. There is the fixing of bugs, the polishing of the areas, the finishing of character clothes and models to say the least. Secondly, r we not going a little bit off topic talking about this fable2. i hav never heard of it, (shouts of WHAT), and ncaa football, aswell as this samurai stuff. Edited September 3, 2004 by KOTORFanactic
Mucka_Heartagram Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 most of the music is done for kotor 2 and the release date i heard frm the lucasarts producer woz winter 04 and on a website it has been quoted as 13th of december 04 so ur 4 month wait mite not b that long my child!!!!
Adria Teksuni Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Mucka is correct about the music, the recording for it is completed as per Mike Gallo at the LucasArts Forums. In addition to standard tweaking, they also have a wide variety of compatability tests to run, to ensure that the PC version will work as smoothly as possible for the widest variety of rigs possible. 4 months is not long at all for testing like that. Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.
Mucka_Heartagram Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 mike gallo also sed that the game will b ready winter 2004 and other sites have sed 13 december 2004 but that aint official but the mike gallo bit is ive seen it in an interview so if he sez that then we cud b lukin at a pre christmas release yay!!
