Hey, speaking of E3, y'all still have 10 days to vote on whether or not LucasArts will announce KotOR 3 at this year's E3. Just a hop, skip, and a jump over to <here> (

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YY!!!!!!
whell, have you heard enything about new BIG LA game? NewYork Times had an article about New Game that people at LA are developing, and the game is called Darth Vader, simple as that. Now, I don't know what tha h**k Tim Ward ( if I'm not wrong about that name, president of Lucas Arts I refere) or ony of those leading guys out there at LA was/were thinking about, but hey it's their intetion or something......
ALL I'm afraid is that this is going to push KOTORIII way further away from US, maan i'd rarher see kotorIII a.s.a.p. then any other LA game for shore.
So what we now is Indiana Jones and Darth Vader game being developed. It is bad, and I don't think that they have enough money nor time to push for KOTORIII development as whell for now, That Ward guy was saying something about rebudgeting LA for whatever reasons, before we had news like poople being laid off at LA, etc, etc....
This is very BAD for KOTORIII and further......
and is defenetly pissing me off at large scale, F**K!!!!!
What do you think, and if anybody have any info about this please share....
Best regards to all of you!
What do you think, and if anybody have any info about this please share....I think that K3 is several years away, if it is done at all. ;)
meh... at this point I seriously doubt their going to do one.......they've had like almost 2 years and thats plenty of time to make a game...that doesn't mean i've lost hope and i don't think i will ever loose hope that there will a Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 3: (inter subtitle here)
It is good to hope but brace yourself. Hope is a romantic illusion to hold onto something that one has never had. All it does is bring despair and you will be left with nothing when you atarted out with nothing so why hope at all?
It can be several years before it is released. Just announce it.
hopeis what keep people going?why would sombody giving up on hope? isn't that giving up on life. i've been through many instences in which i wouldn't have been able to go on without hope......

"Dust in the wind," my friend.
I found some tidbits of information which proves nothing of course, but its encouraging. This information may already be in this thread earlier so I apologize
This was in the upcoming projects section
E 3 EXPO 2006
E3 is rapidly approaching again and Lucasarts have informed us that this years booth will be their biggest ever. Although no other announcements have been made as to what will be there, you can expect to see Star Wars Galaxies, Lego Star Wars 2, Indy Jones and we've been told of something extremely exciting that will be making its debut - we can't wait! As you'd expect, guys from the Network will be there taking some photos for the June edition.
and this one . There is a link at the starwarsknights page if you want to see for yourself
Gamedaily has posted a feature called "The Unofficial Five of Next Gen", looking at some sequels we all know will be coming sonner than later. And among such high-profile franchises as Halo, GTA, Final Fantasy and Mario, we find their take on Knights of the Old Republic 3: "One of the most successful Star Wars games of all time is heading to the next generation courtesy of Obsidian. The third installment of the series will expand on the somewhat lackluster second title and once again be exclusive to Microsoft. We've heard that Bioware has had very little involvement with the third title, but Obsidian has been clearly instructed to take their time and pump out a game that rivals the original in quality. We don't expect Knights III to make an appearance at E3 2006, but the holiday season should bring around news on the next generation title. Expect it to pick up many years after Knights II with an entirely new cast of characters and even more force powers. Shifting your character between light and dark will also have a much more significant impact on the game."

I have a bad feeling that the "Big Suprise" is that Darth Vader game :firemad:
Whatever happens, I hope they dont turn Kotor 3 into Duke Nukem Forever, i.e. announce the game, then taking literally "Forever" to bring it out. Duke Nukem Forever started in the late 90's.... its now 2006.
^^^^
i don't think so. LA already announced that a Darth Vader-based game is in the works. although they haven't released any specific details, it wouldn't be some big surprise if they made an official announcement at E3 with some details on the type of game, etc.
if it does come out, which i hope really badly, will it come out in the normal xbox or in the xbox360 ?
You guys have a lot more confidence in the prospect of a new KOTOR than me. I'm not saying it won't happen, just that its highly unlikely
It will come out for XBOX 360 if it duz, but i doubt it will now, thou i hope it duz, I wouldnt put it past lucas arts on canceling the 3rd

Here you can read and get the fealing how those guys at LA, leading members, think about gaming world. I danno, but somehow I think most of it they say is kind out of place....

What I ment was if anybody has any info on this Darth Vader (my God what a bum that is) game. From what I heard is placed between 3rd and 4th episode, whell prity much Vader eradicates Jedi, those he can find, since crucial ones get to live throughout 4th episode and further, which we have allresdy seen (for God sake) many many times.
Whell I'm not interested in that, it is enough of Darth Vader, I want to see more of those ancient Jedi Masters and Sith lords, when they were bringing Force to it's glory. I WANT KOTOR III and more.......but thats just me, whel now I'm asking all of you: I'm not alone, am I?

I so agree with you Raven! I think its rediculous of LucasArts to make another Darth Vader game personally. I mean will this game be a hit like KOTOR? lol maybe not. I am kinda crapped off with LucasArts at teh moment, they just don't seem to be doing any thing or listening to what Star Wars fans want in video gaming. I mean the devs or people at LucasArts have probably gone around on all the gaming threads and read what the fans want and they have probably seen Kotor III , but LucasArts just don't seem to still get he message that people want KOTOR III. As much a I love Episode III, I don't really want another movie game at this stage. I want what Raven wants! ancient Jedi Masters! and Sith Lords. Kotor series b***dy well needs to be finished! Obsidian needs to get onto LucasArts back and tell them! If I found out LucasArts e-mail address I tell ya I would b***dy swamp them with e-mail to do Kotor III, and I am b***dy sure other people would agree with me.
LucasArts is blatently exploiting the franchise. LA dosnt care about SW game fans, they care about SW fans and general gamers. It is simply a question that Darth Vader Sells. More people would buy a game called "Darth Vader" than "KotOR III". Its simple for them, they only factor in the money, not the fans request. Maybe after they have abused the franchise by releasing "Darth Vader 9, the final trillogy", then maybe they will go back to making imaginative games. My favourite aspect of Kotor is that it is a SW game that is completely independant of the movies. Shame most people only care about Luke and Vader.
I just had a thought. Do you think that Lucas Arts believes that KotOR II was a finished game, and it has a clear ending?
Otherwords, Kriea tells us everything we need to know, and all we have to do is listen?
I just had a thought. Do you think that Lucas Arts believes that KotOR II was a finished game, and it has a clear ending?Probably don't care. It will be more along the lines of "did it make the projected sales and revenue." I highly doubt they are thinking that they need to do a game that ties up all the lose ends.

Agreed! Just look at all those games came out from SW movies (all except Jedi Knight series), those are axploited to the maximum. And I understand once new technology features come out (hardware, new engines, etc) they automaticly going for it, but with what? With Empire at war for instance, dude i have studied Force commander and I loved it much more than Empire at war, EAW got me bored with in couple of levels, complete waste of money and time, and I fully regret it. But that's just me.
KOTOR franchise is not finished with KOTORII, I don't think so, defenetly!
For what I can say: since we had gone through KOTOR I & II and to aprehend this time without any possible info (rumors avoided) about next KOTOR at least what we deserve is something official from LA, what is going on with KOTOR franchise?! HEy, for the sake of all these gamers that like the game. Just to let us know next kotor: yes or no. I'll take either answer, but I'd rather prefer yes! It is definite time to tell us something official.

Absolutely! LA can't possibly believe that TSL was a proper ending to the KOTOR series. And assuming that LA in some capacity is aware of the fan support for the KOTOR series, they should at least issue a statement saying they won't be making a third installment. I also agree that Lucas is just whoring-out the movie trillogies while a great new franchise is just waiting to be exploited. Come on LA, Just tell us Yes or No!!!!
Next stop is E3, if nothing gets revealed about next KOTOR installment by E3 shoup, then is for shore - years will come to past till we see it, play it and enjoy it.....question remains, what to do till then, play Darth Vader game, o hell NO! F**K Darth Vader game!!!
Best regards to all of you and keep the faith up.
Time to put a different spin on this. The Darth vader game wouldn't be so bad if done right. Say Like the jedi knight series. Now...now if lucasarts was absolutely sure they were not going to have a K3 game they would have said so and put us all out of our misery. The idea, even if it is not announced at E3 still floats in the air and has not been shot down I might add. We just have to keep going and hoping. Truthfully if the game came out five years from now I would be happy. I would be pretty pissed off that it took so long but It would be there right? yeah.
Now on another note when I get a job in the entertainment industry you can bet I will make a K3 game myself for all the fans who loved and lost.
Hi Everyone
I have a link to Feargus Urquhart's profile at Obsidian, from here you can PM him and perhaps ask him about Kotor III. I did.
Have a go, and see if you get a response. If you don't, least you tried. Maybe with all theses people PM'ing him, something might happen, of course nothing may happen. Goodluck any way....

Interview with Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart (

"We have been talking with LucasArts to do KOTOR3 since August 2004 and we hoped to do it since KOTOR2 was done. LucasArts is thinking what they want to do with it and we would happily make KOTOR3, if that's what LucasArts wants to do."
Well I guess it is up to the KOTOR gods whether or not they want to make KOTOR III. Maybe an offering would sway their decision? :D
Have a look at this. Don't get too excited just yet.

yer thats been posted before. But no worries.
I found this on theforce.net, still a little disapointing though. :?
But so far nothing has been seen or written in regards to KOTOR III, Republic Commando II, Star Wars Galaxies' future, and the rumoured title based around Darth Vader. All of those, of course, have never been completly confirmed nor denied by LucasArts as yet ... but we're still hoping.

i just think no matter what way it turns out it should be a great game just hope its not rushed arghh glitches we'll all be thinking just like on kotor 2 and it would be good if it is a longer game
I just hope LucasArts can see clearly how promising the KotOR series is and has been, and that they make the right decision (that is, make a third game!)
We may have to wait a while seeing how busy LA looks with those games, but there might still be hope. Look how long its taken them to make a sequel to Command & Conquer, and If EA reccognises the cashflow potential, LA should do too, in a year or 2 maybe (hopefully not :( )
Well, they wouldn't not make the game. It would be too profitable. They want to make the game and I have hope that they will.
Then again, we are still waiting for Starcraft 2 :( its been what 8/9 years now?
Well, they wouldn't not make the game. It would be too profitable. There have been lots of profitable games that haven't had a sequel...
Sadly, the only way I see them commiting to KotOR 3 is if somehow, someway, the other L.A. games now being developed and distributed are a huge bust.
Which isn't the case.
All of the current games on their table are all making a beaucoup of money.
Maybe next year, but I doubt it. The larger the span of time between sequels, the lesser the chance becomes that it will be made.
I'm trying hard not to be pessimistic, but the reality of this is kicking us all in the keister.

Yup. Just wish they'd say no. I hate limbo.
And now we play the waiting game.
Patience padawan. You can't let all hope be lost. There is always the slightest chance that It will be made :D
And now we play the waiting game.The waiting game's boring... let's play hungry hungry hippos
Well, LucasArts certainly has to redeem itself in the gaming community's eyes. The way KOTOR II was rushed was simply inexcusable. What would they rather have? An unfinished project for a quick profit, or a properly done masterpiece? Honestly... what were they thinking?
If they don't make a new game fine. I would be just as happy if they wrote a book to close out all the characters they created in this series. I think that the lack of ending in the second game should be reason enough to at least give fans some close. It WON'T be the reason they do it if they do it.

I wish they would fix that. A deluxe version (on x box 360 maybe?) would be a good way to guage potential profit in a new game, and I'd (grudgingly) pay for the game that should have been.
