| News Article |  |  KOTOR 3, an MMO after all?
11/06/2008 11:41pm By Dalagonash
Anyone that has been abruptly kicked from a group, or sacked from a job knows that sense of anger against those that you once held in such high regard, and you know that urge to unveil all their secrets you've been holding for them, in a last ditch attempt to soil their name, or cause them a few hours of misery at the very least.
Last week Lucas Arts did this to a few employees, somewhere between 75 and 100 and any level of responsibility from lowly testers to the producer of Lego Star Wars and Indy, quite why you would sack the genius that set those games going shows that Lucas' marbles are anywhere but safe.
Fortunately for everyone besides Lucas Arts bigwigs one mouth has started flapping, and it tells of interesting things. A waggle-tastic wii star wars title, a non-lego Indy adventure and the bombshell that is an MMO set in the KOTOR universe.
For the uninitiated, KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) is Bioware's (http://www.bioware.com/) award winning Star Wars RPG that set new standards for gameplay, characters and story within modern RPGs, the sequel developed by Obsidian also received high praise and the company used its lessons learned in the development of KOTOR in creating 2007's Mass Effect.
The prospect of a Star Wars MMO done right is one thing but the idea of Bioware, king of western RPGs making an MMO in such a well established universe is enough to cause hype meters to explode in anticipation.
Lucas Arts and Bioware have not commented on the project yet, after all it could be a cruel trick from an aggitated employee, but nevertheless we are waiting for the force to send us some signals. Or failing that an e-mail. |
