If Obsidian will make KotOR3, you will purchase it

[metadigital]

I'll wait for you lemmings to buy it and play it. If Hades gives it a not-terrible score, then I'll buy it.

[Gabrielle]

Hades scores are always in the negatives so why bother.

Except for Fallout.

[Darque]

Not even Hades can trash that jewel

[Gabrielle]

[Judge Hades]

The Score I gave KotOR 1 was a A-/B+. KotOr 2 got a B-/C+. I don't see that being in the negatives. Just because I concentrate on the aspects of the game that are crap does not mean I don't like that particular game. I mainly focus on the negative aspects because everyone else is focused on the positive aspect of the game.

[CoM_Solaufein]

I would buy it unless a bunch of monkeys were working on it like EA.

[Judge Hades]

That is because I have an irrational hatred for EA for what they did to Origin SYstems. DAMMIT, I WANT WING COMMANDER 6!

 

Grrr...

[CoM_Solaufein]

Didn't they buy out Westwood as well?

[Musopticon?]

Uh-huh.

[CoM_Solaufein]

Thought there was a reason why I disliked them. Damn large companies buying out the little ones that are good.

[Lord Tingeling]

Doubtful. I might be convinced to warez it, however.

Maybe the pirates will iron out the runtime bugs ... "

[Gabrielle]

Pirates suck.

[metadigital]

And ninjas flip out and kill everyone!

[Gabrielle]

 

My aliens assimilate.

Since Troika unfortunately has disbanded and some have joined with Obsidian (Horay! and hopefully they all will) it would be really nice to see what kind of game the old fallout crew could make...KotOR3 or new IP. Bloodlines and Lightsabers, whoa... (w00t)

[Gabrielle]

Kotor 3 with the Source Engine.

As a funny aside, I remember when many people were reporting bizarre problems about the Half-Life expansion Opposing Forces.

 

They were all up in a rage, and many were contacting tech support and whatnot. It turns out though, that the problem only existed in the pirated version. I heard there were many bannings on the gearbox forums

I'd be too distracted watching the lip-synching....assuming they did it as well as Valve (I was less impressed with Bloodlines' lip-synching).

[Surreptishus]

Bloodlines supposedly used an earlier version of source and thats why its glitchy. I prefer the new unreal engine.

[alanschu]

Though I found the lip-synching to be subpar compared to the earliest HL2 videos.

 

 

I have a feeling the range of motion of the mouths of the characters was just more limited.

[CoM_Solaufein]

I didn't see any problem with Bloodlines and lip synching. But thyen again my gaming experiance with 3D games is limited.

I remember a story about AutoCAD (y'know, the Computer Aided Design package that invented and defined the market, and came with a hardware copy-protection device, connected via the serial port, called a dongle?): apparently the 3D wire models were degrading after a certain (predictable) amount of time. So, after a couple of weeks, the model would slowly lose it's vertical integrity and look like it was melting.

 

Turns out that this was due to the pirated versions not completely duplicating the functionality of the dongle: there was some dimensional constant that used a value from the device as a reference, and when it was absent the Y axis would deteriorate asymptotically. Very fiendish copy protection, worthy of admiration!

 

The closest I ever heard of for the black hats was a virus that installed itself as an encrypting hash algorithm between a database engine and its data; after a number of weeks (a couple of months, IIRC, enough to affect all normal archives in the backup cycle) it would then delete itself and leave the engine with an encrypted database. That's one pee'ed off ex-employee! (Not sure if the perpetrator was caught.)

I would not mind getting a third game for Kotor, but I would observe how it turns out instead of holding initial expectations like the ones for K2.
