[Hawke]

Remember ages ago we asked you for questions for an Alpha Protocol interview we were having? Well, tomorrow, we're publishing that interview, and some of your questions were used! Here's a teaser:

So, check out GGTL for the whole thing!

I don't see how they hint at K3 anywhere in that article.

I don't see how they hint at K3 anywhere in that article.

 

Probably a bit of wishful thinking.

[Enoch]

[Raithe]

I think they're being a bit wishful thinking from the "no comment / we're not allowed to say" response to the questions about what they're working on..

[Beast]

Can't they ever just give a simple "no".

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

That's the thing - they have said no. The only thing we know is that Obs would like to make KotOR 3, but it's been pretty much official that they're not making it.

 

Besides, the combat would be consolized.

[Pop]

Yeah, it means nothing.

[Nepenthe]

That's the thing - they have said no. The only thing we know is that Obs would like to make KotOR 3, but it's been pretty much official that they're not making it.

 

Besides, the combat would be consolized.

 

Eh? How wasn't it "consolised" before?

[WorstUsernameEver]

TBH, scrapping KOTOR combat system for a more action-y one would be quite the good choice.

KOTOR combat was easy, incredibly broken and boring to watch, its only redeeming quality was that spamming force lightning made you feel like a badass jedi.

The fact that you can beat bosses with different approaches is definitely a plus in my book.

Also it seems that they were interested in co-op since the beginning but scrapped it for, I guess, time constraints.

[Oner]

I'd like to see an unarmed guy beat SIE in the trainyard boss battle.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

That's the thing - they have said no. The only thing we know is that Obs would like to make KotOR 3, but it's been pretty much official that they're not making it.

 

Besides, the combat would be consolized.

 

Eh? How wasn't it "consolised" before?

Well they'd make it less turn-based, probably something along the lines of Fable or Mass Effect. I wouldn't mind, I guess, the combat was always pretty ****ty in those games.

[kreese12]

Actually more consolized-RPG combat for KOTOR game would be pretty great I think .

 

Don't get me wrong, I love tBS RPG combat in some games, like in Age of Decadence , and Fallout 1/2, and for some many RPGs consolized combat sucks, like Fallout 3, but with the Star Wars IP and the nature of the fights and more action-orientated, real-time combat system could have a lot of potential.

 

Not that they are making the game or anything.

[Nepenthe]

That's the thing - they have said no. The only thing we know is that Obs would like to make KotOR 3, but it's been pretty much official that they're not making it.

Not the answer to my question - both kotors were xbox games, as well. If you mean "dumbed down for a mass audience", you're entitled to your opinion, but consoles would hardly be the culprit, as the old system worked just fine on 'em.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

It still felt like an old school RPG even on the xbox, maybe not to you BG/ID/PS:T purists but I'm pretty sure the controls would feel strange on nextgen consoles.

 

Like I said, the combat was never any good in both games, so this might actually be a welcome improvement.
