The Lucasarts website has released a new press release today in conjunction with Bioware. The press release announces that the two companies will be collaborating on "an interactive entertainment product". While it should be noted that there is no specific mention of an MMORPG, but the mysterious announcement does come at a time when speculation about BioWare's Austin's MMO being the much-prophesized Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG is at an all-time high. Managing Editor Jon Wood contacted Lucasarts this morning and was told that at this time, they "aren't releasing any details about the actual product".
Visit Lucasarts here. Cheers, |

I think it would be hilarious if it was some type of interactive program for the new TV series of Star Wars that Lucas is supposed to be making. Or even funnier if it was a Pirate game... Monkey Island Online. Currently playing: Looking Foward too: |

Hello KoTOR Online, Goodbye SWG! If it is KoTOR Online this would be the final nail in the coffin of SWG, may she rest in peace. |

As much as I'd kill for a KOTOR MMO, I'd be just as interested in something original. So long as it's not fantasy :\ |

What makes a good MMO? Good quality, good customer service, good business model, good fun. |
Hey thanks for the update Stradden ^_^. I'm still doing the wait and see thing, but I can't help hoping another company is given stewardship of the StarWars saga for the MMO game genre. It would be very nice to see the story and its history--along with its fans--treated with honesty, integrity and a shared love for what's become a modern day classical mythology. If it's a StarWars MMO, that'll be great. If it's a StarWars MMO that doesn't delete professions, years of quest progress, change core game mechanics unexpectedly, or sell an expansion for the game system they're planning to delete within a few weeks, that'll be priceless ^_^. |

If it's Bioware and they are working on a Star Wars title, I'll be happy no matter what it is. Fps, MMO, RPG, whetever... It'll be awesome. Obviously, *looks at sig* I hope it's going to be a MMO |

Here's hoping. I know Mass Effect launches within the next few weeks, so hopefully after that, we'll get some idea of what this is going to be. |

Well, it's official. I asked the Magic 8 Ball if Bioware was developing Kotor Online and it said "Absolutely!" Then I asked it if Kotor Online would suck and it said "No Way!" Rejoice! |

Originally posted by Cabe2323 I think that is a strong possibility actually. And that is why... Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness. |

Heh, now is time for phase 2! Everyone has built up their expectations for a KotOR game, now whether it is or not, everyone WANTS this, or that, or whatever... so now when everyone does not get exactly what they want, even IF it is the game build they wanted, so many are still going to cry and be disappointed. I wonder how long before people liken it to SWG. "OMFG! They do not listen to their players because what *I* wanted is not in" heh... I can hear it already. I think I need to go buy more popcorn.

Originally posted by ArcAngel3 LA is just as culpable as SOE over the CU-NGE, as with a lot of IP partnerships, the owner of the IP has the final say of what goes into the game. So what that boils down to is LA giving the green light to, or even orchestrating, the whole CU-NGE debacle. There is nothing stopping them from doing it again with any new Star Wars mmorpg and turning Bioware into the next whipping boy of angry Star Wars gamers. Here to hoping that Bioware have a little more 'executive' control of what goes into the game. |
