EnderAndrew Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Since people keep asking what is going on with KOTOR:3, I think we should sticky a topic so that everyone knows the official status of KOTOR:3. In September of 2004, LucasArts laid off several of their employees, including the team who was currently developing KOTOR:3. All internal projects save for one were canceled. Akari, one of the KOTOR:2 developers said shortly after KOTOR:2's release that as far as he knew, no one was currently working on KOTOR:3 MCA (Lead Designer on KOTOR:2) has said a few times (such as the recent interview with Gamer Girl) that he would like to do KOTOR:3, but it is not currently being developed. Q: Will there be a KOTOR III? Or, be still my heart, a Planescape 2? No word on either, really. I wouldn

GhostofAnakin Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I suppose atleast if it were stickied we'd have less n00b threads pop up asking about KOTOR III. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

GhostofAnakin Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Only thing is this will have to be stickied in every single forum, since most of the n00bs (and some of the "vets") don't seem to read stickies and just post whatever they feel like, even if it's a repeat of a thread that is on the same page as the one they're posting on. <_< "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
hawk Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 You can also email LucasArts at: http://lucasarts.com/contact/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no way to e-mail lucasarts. Look at the page, no e-mailbuttons / adresses at all. Yeah, why don't we send letters to them. Or maybe someone could find their Fax number?! For one thing, I cannot understand why this company would drop a project that is selling like hotcakes. If the designers at Lucasarts are to lazy to develop a good story, then it will be our job to do that for them. Master Vandar lives!
Darque Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 OMG! OMG! OMG! I'm a n00b! Will you tell me when KotOR3 will be released? Thanks in advance

Archmonarch Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 GoA: You are barred from harming or attempting to harm Darque in any way. I require her for my Diplomacy game. By the way, have any interest in playing? :D And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Darque Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Didn't you get the PM I sent? Or was that specific to GoA?
bubblyofart Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I just visited pczone.co.uk and came across an interesting article about LucasArts and its IP's. Lucasarts info Just hit the link it'll take ya to a site, it doesn't delve deeply into Star Wars but by the sounds of it were going to have to wait a long time as these games become scarcer.
Petay Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Good idea there Ender, at least it would stop certain n00b's from repeating questions asked over and over again, i have a feeling it wont be stickied though.

SteveThaiBinh Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 LucasArts info<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very interesting. For anyone with some knowledge of LucasArts' announced projects and likely sequels (i.e. not me), it might be possible to sketch the company's release schedule for the next few years.

hawk Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 They should kill that guy--Geoghegan <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah, he is not good to me dead. Why don't we freeze him in carbonite and demand Lucasarts / Obsidian or Bioware to make Kotor III? Master Vandar lives!

Darth333 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 there are lots of news concerning lucasarts since a few days (just search google). I posted some news at www.starwarsknights.com (Check for the news of the 07/11/05 and of today). You'll also find the links to the original sources. There's a short mention of Kotor 3 but it raises as much questions as it gives answers ...but if you read the original article and look how quickly they say they don't have immediate plans for Jedi Knight...well everything is possible...

6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Is that a petition for not having a KotOR 3? Harvey

"We are best known for our Star Wars IP, but we feel like we oversaturated the market in the past," says Geoghegan [pronounced Go-Heegan] vice president global sales and marketing at LucasArts. "We were inadvertently harvesting the brand and we were shipping too much undifferentiated, mediocre product. We have to be more careful about how we manage the brand." ... Sounds like as much of an admission of guilt as we're evver likely to hear. No mention of the patch for the game described as: ... some gamers going so far as to argue that the best Star Wars products recently released--on any media--are videogames. Adventure KOTOR II and action game Battlefront have many admirers ... What does this remind me of ...? Trust us, this time for sure! Nothing up my sleeve, and Presto! Bulwinkle the Moose!

EnderAndrew Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 I'll add that quote to the first post. I suspect that may suggest KOTOR:3 is more likely to happen later down the road rather than sooner.
jodo kast 5 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Is that a petition for not having a not having KotOR 3? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, they think LA isn't going to be makin K3 and thats why they're petitioning them to make it, though i highly doubt LA will care......
