KOTOR III--Update
As I wrote in a previous post, I was hoping that KOTOR 3 would finally be announced at May's E3. Yeah, so much for hoping. Nonetheless, even without an official statement from, well anybody, there are several good signs that suggest that the game is truly in developement. If I had to assign a "Magic 8-Ball" answer to the question, "Will there be a KOTOR 3 and in is in production?" it would probably be, "Signs point to Yes".
What signs might these be you ask? Consider this hopeful bit of information...IGN.com, a reputable gaming site with quite a few connections believes that KOTOR 3 is in development enough so that they have it list under rumored games for Xbox360, PS3, and for PC. This note is attatched to the link:
NOTE: This game has not yet been announced or officially confirmed by the publisher. Exact plans for which platforms this title might release on are also unconfimed at this time. Unofficially, the game is expected to be one of three next-gen projects in the works at developer Obsidian Entertainment.
There was also an article speculating about some features of the game but I wasn't able to find it. There's also the clipping from an interview with a LucasArts representative,
"Q: Ok, I'm going to throw out some more titles, and you can
comment, or react to them however you like. Knights of the Old Republic
III?
A: That's a great idea. [Poker face]"
And then Feargus Urquhart saying in March of 2006, "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."
My sources are pretty good. Anyways, it seems the logical choice to make. Logical enough that I'm thinking it might be a good idea to start up an LJ group for KOTOR 3... Anybody else with me??
