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?

They have to do all the music and localisation as well as fixing bugs and stuff.

but does that take 4 months

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.

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.

Advertising, voice acting, musical scores, packaging, and whatever else LucasArts does once Obsidian passes it along.

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.

LOL! If you ask Troika, they'll say "no"! And look what happened to TOEE!

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.

I think Fable was supposed to have been released, like, 2 years ago?

:D yeah and it still hasnt appeared

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.

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..

2tru i havnt really enjoyed any of the games ive played recently, not since KotOR.....hmmm memories B)

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.

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.

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.

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

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, 200421 yr by KOTORFanactic

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!!!!

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.

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!!

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?
