| Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG? | |

Got this rumor from Wikipedia: Quote: On April 25th, 2007, a rumor came about that BioWare was secretly in development on a Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG. Stemming from the latest issue of EGM, the rumor contained little information to support the claim. However, investigation into the matter reveals that there is more to the rumor than EGM's single suggestion. In early 2006 BioWare opened an Austin branch to develop an unnamed MMORPG. This alone confirmed an inevitable BioWare MMO, but the choice of Richard Vogel as a leader of the project is what largely suggest that the currently unnamed MMO is set in the KOTOR universe. Vogel was one of the project leaders behind the sci-fi MMO Star Wars Galaxies. SWG was held down by being set in a universe where continuity prevented any true story development (such as seen in WoW) and SOE assuming creative control eventually caused the removal of the things that had kept SWG's hardcore fanbase playing among them the skill tree system, which allowed for more customizable characters and drastic changes to the game's combat and character profession selection.
SOE has been confirmed to have lost the Star Wars license, though there has been no confirmation that BioWare will be producing a KotOR MMORPG. This post was edited by Kenyon on Mar 23 2011 05:48pm. |

nope its like star fox _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

If you search for "gameleakerz" on youtube, you'll find leaked footage of Imperial Agent gameplay; some awesome dialogue. It would appear that they've taken the best parts of Mass Effect for this. So excited for it! |

Quote: Lost quite a bit of posts here unfortunately. There's confirmation from a PC Gamer article that space combat in TOR will be more of an on-rails shooter and single-player only at launch. It is an optional experience, not required at all.
@JJ Yea, I find it rather interesting too. Some clarifications... space combat is more of a tunnel shooter, meaning you can move up/down and left/right in a limited fashion to avoid obstacles. Space is not totally optional as well. There will be a few required segments, which will be very easy, that are probably linked to the story. Other than that, TOR news has been pouring from Gamescom and will be incoming from PAX this weekend. Keep a lookout for a reveal or two at PAX! _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

That's so awesome, it looks like Starfox haha! Looks like it'd be great fun, but I do hope they'll implement a multiplayer space mechanic outside of combat. This comment was edited by planK on Aug 25 2010 05:19pm. |

That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace.

Quote: they've made some great new tracks for the game
http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/music-old-republic 5.5 hours of original music with 5 composers! In addition to that, there's a slight reveal of Corellia being in the game from the Gamespot video. The Gamespot video was an addition to the one on the official TOR website. There's an image of sheet music with the title of Corellia Intro. Also, at Comic-Con this year, space combat was revealed to be in the game officially. There will be "hot spots" for space combat, sort of similar to the war zones for PvP. Darth Hater has some nice coverage of Comic-Con. Also, can't forget that Fatal Alliance came out recently. Haven't read it myself, but hope to soon. I tend to avoid hardbacks due to the pricing though. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

Yeah i like Bastila a lot, BUT actually the 1st kotor i played was TSL, and i really enjoyed it sometime after that i played the 1st Kotor in which the storyline is better.
I don't like TOR just be cause if bastila or any Bastila ofsprings will be on it. its BECAUSE i liked the story of BOTH kotors, Revan and the exile not just cause of Bastila. About the MMO, i played SWG and i liked it, but the idea of making the storyline of the last 2 Kotors into an MMO, well ,i know i haven't read much of the details but i still hate it anyway. Let's see if they give a nice continuation to story instead of just great looking graphics. |
