The last Kotor 3 rumour/news i read was that the project was shelved... indefinitely.

 

That was a year ago.

" because the developers do need their time to finish the game completely! "

 

How hard is it to understand that there's no K3 even in planning stages?

If there is another thing that I can think about in relation to the Al script for enemies, is to have them use feats like Critical Strike and Flurry as their main attack rather than using Power Attack. Most of the mercenaries in K2, including many other bosses like Azkul and the Twin Suns were hardly bosses at all. It was probably the weapons that they used that did most of the damage rather than specific combat feats.

 

Not to mention Kreia's three floating lightsabers that essentially used only normal attacks. If they had been two single lightsabers and a double-bladed lightsaber, where the single lightsabers used Master Flurry as a main attack and Critical Strike for the double-bladed lightsaber, it would have added some style of fighting to them. I would not suggest three double-bladed lightsabers, though. OE could have created graphics and animation for the combat feats without being wielded by Kreia. And also, the double-bladed lightsaber would have twice the health of the single sabers.

not sure this has anything to do with K3, but LA just announced a major restructuring to their fora:

their K2 forum is absolutely cluttered with K3 stuff...I suspect that is the main reason they are doing it...trying to get people back "on topic".

So, just make K3 and it'll be all better. "

You would think that with all the money they would make they would do themselves a favor and just make the game.

Have to be careful taking the rantings of a message board as an indication of profits.

 

Heres the skinny as it were. Assuming now that KOTOR III was made it would almost certainly be next gen. Likely 360 , though maybe not.

 

Even at it's best projections the 360 is supposed to sell maybe 2.5 million in the first year. Analysts say it will be more like 1.5 m. But even if you took the 2.5m as the correct figure and transposed that onto the total % of Xbox owners who bought KOTOR/II you would sell about 100,000 units.

 

So yep you will see KOTOR III but not likely before the next gen consoles have sold in enough numbers to make it worth making.

Yes and make more money from us.

Xbox 360? Probably. However, I think it would be a mistake for it to be console-exclusive. I think it should have the kind of "preemptive" exclusivity that the other 2 titles had....then, a port to PC.

 

However, they need not rush the port job....that is one thing that gave K2 a black eye....the Xbox version was more or less fine but the PC port job was rushed.

 

And they need to do something about the "dead zone" between titles....downloadable content for a fee, rather like NWNs Premium Modules (but much more seamless to implement), would help keep the wolves at bay.

Make it for the pc first. And if they must make it for a console do that last.

That probably won't happen.

Damn Gates and the X-box.

Somehow, either way, something about K3 tends to be hard to look at.

Lucasarts officially announced they wouldn't make another Kotor. Read this article

Everyone that link is a trick! Some of you should know this! don't believe the person who posted it. The people who are smart willl know its there too fool you.

...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Zing, Mr Surreptishus. You have been zinged.

Its a fair zing guv

Okay, but post the link now.

Its too exclusive, i'll release information when I am ready.

I'll ensure that I link to your link.

Link please!

Hell, what do I need to do to get a link around here?

I wouldn't want to link to any link that linked to me.

If you linked to a link that linked to you you might cause one of those things that happened when somebody managed to set both her hotmail addresses to forward mails to each other and the whole hotmail server crashed. That would be Extra Awesome.

*considers the implications and possible culpability of setting up a hotmail self-referential cascade event ... *

I'd assume they'd be ready (/ier) this time.
