Yup, since Troika went under and Jade Empire wasn't the multi-million seller Bioware hoped it to be, i'm a bit pessimistic about the future.

Our own opinions on whether Kotor3 should be made, or whether it will be a good game, have absolutely no impact on whether it will be, or is already being, developed.

Excellent. That is what I'd hoped everyone thought ...

Good Philosophy.

I think the fact that they have an ongoing KOTOR comic is evidence that they do, in fact, see this as an "ongoing franchise", as LA employees have been quoted as saying.

 

the KOTOR comic writer even went so far as to say that the new game would "provide momentum" for the comic.

 

I think we will hear something by E3.

 

I personally, want Obsidian to wrap this up.

 

After K3, I wouldn't mind a different era for the next RPG, although KOTOR era would be fine.

Though didn't the comic come first?

no. KOTOR I was loosely based on the setting described in the Dark Horse Tales of the Jedi comics, that, essentially, tell the story of Exar Kun and the Sith War. KOTOR is about 40 years after Kun's demise, IIRC.

 

the first KOTOR comic was released Jan 2006.

OE emplyee reading, anything to add Joseph?

I'm going to bet no.

That's a pretty obviously truism.

 

If LA publish a game, which engenders pumping several millions into a marketing campaign, then it is only logical that anyone in the gravy train will necessarily get a fillup.

 

It still doesn't mean anything.

why so agnostic?

I would say realistic not agnostic.

so realism suggests that K3 will not be made anytime soon?

Yes.

 

Well, if you expect Obsidian to make it.

Hype serves no useful purpose to the game development cycle; in fact I would counter that it does a lot more harm than good. Pressure to get the game out, get the return on the marketing investment and hurry up and get onto the next Big Moneymaking Thing.

 

Bad.

on the one hand, I agree but K2 fans have already had to wait a long time.

Nope. About a year after the release of Kotor2. And if Kotor3 came now it would be as rushed/bugged/half-decently ruined like Kotor2.

 

And besides that IF OE makes Kotor3 NWN2 and PNJ come first...

for crying out loud, I'm not talking about the finished product, I'm talking about an (official) indication of the plans to develop the game.

Not really. It's barely been a year for most people, and hasn't even been a year for PC users.

 

 

Doom was years in between, as were other popular franchises like C&C Tiberian Sun, Half-Life 2, etc.

 

It's not uncommon for there to be years in between.

Besides the fact it probably isn't in development look here to see why nobody follow your pretty destructive path...

well, just to clarify, I am content knowing that it is planned.

I'm just trying to feed the trolls a bit which, to be sure, often gets one into trouble.

Feed me!

lol

Feed me!
