New Star Wars MMO in the works?

Reports suggest BioWare is working on Knights of the Old Republic multiplayer online title.

Widely celebrated as the best Star Wars game of recent years, rumours have emerged that RPG specialist BioWare is hard at work on an MMO version of its hugely popular Knights of the Old Republic franchise.

CVG reports that the latest edition of US games print mag EGM includes the snippet in its Rumour section. No confirmation has been forthcoming from the developer as of yet, but were the game to emerge it would almost certainly be a sure-fire contender to better LucasArts’ previous MMO outing, the troubled Star Wars Galaxies.

Knights of the Old Republic was a critical and commercial success upon its release on Xbox in 2003. Its fortunes were mirrored by an equally celebrated PC version shortly afterwards. Obsidian took over the reigns for the second instalment in 2005, which whilst failing to win over the critics was again another firm retail success.

EGM also revealed a couple of other BioWare rumours. Namely, that current PC-only title Dragon Age will also be heading to PS3, and that the as-of-yet unspecified DS game already in development at the studio will be a new instalment in the Baldur’s Gate franchise.

Don't make it a MMORPG!!!!!

Im asking here to not make it a MMORPG.Even tho that there has been problems and not a great success the currently pc game StarWars Galaxies.It wouldn't be far to xbox gamers such as myself.since early 03 i waiting for the first KOTOR to come out as i watched the previews.Then coming upon KOTOR2.it wouldn't be fare to those who have as much fun as i have playing them on xbox.Now since the 360 has came out i was thinking that the new release KOTOR3 would be on Xbox 360.which was a problem enough since i don't have a Xbox360,but i was fine still with that thought.but putting it on pc and not only that but making it an MMORPG would just be down right upsetting to me and as well i know alot more of other people who are familer with the KOTOR story and games.If at least if it is released on pc atleast make it on both Xbox and pc,and not an MMORPG,and if it is just out on pc dont make it an MMORPG,just leave it as an RPG.Please dont make it an just pc realese.Cause i ahve been a big fan since and before it was relased on to xbox.KOTOR the first game is still my favorite and ive beaten it countless of times and still love playing it.So just from one fan to the makers please dont make it an MMORPG for me and the rest of the fans.

THANK YOU!!!

The first 2 games were great and an MMO for KOTOR would definately be a good idea considering how bad Star Wars Galaxies was turned into. I mean come on how can anyone of you not want an MMO in the KOTOR series.

the mmorpg idea is rediculous. reasons:

1. the first 2 games were rpg's. why would you switch genres on the last and most important game in the series.
2. the game has to be canon. how is that even possible on a mmorpg in the star wars universe?
3. for the people who have played the game since kotor 1, this is gonna piss off allot of fans who may be unable to play mmo's for whatever reason.
4. dont try to salvage destroyed game by destroying a legendary game series. its counter-productive.
5. and finally for the people who bought a 360 for the pleasure of playing kotor III.

in conclusion int is my opinion that an mmorpg would do more bad than good.

I think it would be a great idea to make a new mmorpg like say (star wars galaxies 2) for xbox360 and ps3......and this time make it to where its actually fun!!! HOWEVER if someone was to make KOTOR3 a mmorpg i think u would have mutiny on your hands!! The KOTOR series deserves respect..KOTOR was one of the best RPG games ever made! KOTOR2 was a decent game but obviously rushed...dont ruin the series even more by making it a mmorpg...make the game right how it deserves to be for the real fans of the game!! (the goal of a company is to make a great product everyone will love and they can make alot of money) so this is a no brainer in my opinion on how the game should be made..

I have been playing the KOTOR series since near release of the first game. The only problem I have ever had with the games is that they end. I think a KOTOR mmo to finish off the series would be an excellent idea. With the wide variety of classes available in the regular game i think it would make an excellent MMO. PvP would be fun as hell with Sith and Jedi going at it in the middle of Tatooine. And for all you 360 owners i think that you need to lighten up a bit because do not forget that the 360 is very online capable. I would almost prefer to play it on the 360, but i know i will have to get it for my pc just like the other 2 KOTOR games.

HELL YEAH! make it an mmo. The great thing about almost every mmorpg is that your character just doesn't stop growing. I'm sure they could put the same awesome story plots and questlines into an mmo it's all content and cutscenes... and as for xbox? stfu you guys get the force unleashed. enough said.

Look an MMORPG would be a horrible idea. I mean think of all the money people are going to have to spend just to play KOTOR! I would of never bought 1 and 2 if they were for the computer only anyway. The x box made it glow and the controllers are easyer in my opinion. Please dont make it an MMO

Here is the deal, when SOE **** on it's SWG player base, hundreds of thousands of people where left with out homes, Most went to WoW, We both deserve and need a new home, with the way the Kotor series works, it would fit. I understand that the xBox players would feel a bit ousted, but at the same time, most of them play halo, an have xbox live, what's another 15 amoth really. Not only that, the MMO environment would give you a never ending KKotor game, you could be your jedi, and acctually take part int he sith wars, how sweet would that be. I do feel for you and your potential loss at not being able to sit alone and play your game by yourself, but i like other people, so if it's not an MMO, i hope they make it multiplayer, and improve on on the game play,

An old republic MMORPG would be great, but a KOTOR one? The Kotor series is about the Jedi Order. Short of everyone being a Jedi, which kinda takes the uniqueness of ya characters away, it wouldn't work. I agree that an Old Republic game would be great online, but I'd prefer to see that as a Galaxies 2 and see the next KOTOR as a simpe rpg.
Though maybe a multipayer mode would be neat if they do it right.

The Star Wars Universe isnt just what the esteemed Mr. Lucas deems to authorize as "gospel". Many Star Wars games and books are just ignored like the 2nd Highlander movie. They dont live up to the mythology, the spirit of Star Wars. (for example, tell me: what is the 'White Currant')
KotOR was the best storline addition to the Star Wars universe sinceTimothy Zahn wrote the Thrawn Trilogy.
I need more please. MMO or 1st person. Whatever.

Frankly I think the idea of KoTOR Online is an awesome idea. And I agree that the wost thing about the KoTOR series is that they end. The only problems I could forsee is everyone will want to be Jedi/Sith, so how do you make it seem as though the Jedi are a small organization in a galaxy of billions? there has to be some advantage to not being a force user, or they have to limit the populations of each server. I would totally Jump from WoW for a better SW:MMO. You have 3000 years of history to live out in KoTOR so no worries about what'll be canon or non-canon.

Make it an MMO, those who don't like the idea don't have to play, it's quite simple. No one is twisting your arm, so occupy your time with something else. I have played all KOTOR as well, but there is nothing wrong with a new and concept.

It wasn't the main reason i bought an xbox 360 but it was definately up there. I have waited for kotor 3 anxiously for xbox360. I had an idea of having the exile go sith while revan continues the path of the jedi or vice versa! There is so much potential there for a kotor 3. forget about mmo

I think a KOTOR MMO game will be the best. I would leave WoW for it in a heartbeat plus i really liked the originals on xobx i think a mmo of it would top them easly. One idea for the mmo if u make it would have people pick what the want like Merchants, Madalorians, diferent species ect... not just sith or jedi that would be to boring. A KOTOR MMORPG WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO GO BOTTOM LINE

Those of you who are crying not to make it an MMO are morons. Clearly. What the hell kinds of arguments are those? What do they stand to gain by making it an XBox game? A surge of gains from eager gamers and then NOTHING.

Make a quality MMO nowadays, especially with graphics in the tradition of the KOTOR games, and you're rolling in the money. SWG is as good as dead. The community left because of the constant nerfing, the RPers left because of the installation of the option to be a jedi at the click of a button. If Bioware can engineer a game where players have the option to have Force Sensitive character by completing a process, after playing for so many hours, so on and so forth, the game will be a smash.

Make it an MMO. The end.

listen, WoW is the best MMO ever made so far and it started in a Semi way that kotor is. It started as RTS games (as kotor is RPG) and they made it into an MMORPG and LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!! Millions of people play it and dont plan on stopping soon. I love Kotor and I want to see that happen and expand the games popularity to the world. If Bioware does make it an MMO, im getting it and if it has a monthly fee, who cares? ITS KOTOR PEOPLE! Bioware knows what their doing and I know they wont dissipoint us im sure.

Yeah make it an MMO but include other things that SWG pre-cu nailed. The countless professions, character custiomization, guild an community depth, and the ability to build your own Star Wars cities made SWG one of my favorite MMOs. Now add in the story and setting of KOTOR and you've got yourself a blockbuster. If their going to make another Star Wars related MMO, do it right and please learn from SOEs mistakes. Listen to the consumers. Just some thoughts.

And Vehicles and Mounts and the like, as well as like species other than human (i know, PC had mods for Twilek and things,) but a Wookie would be nice, i love wookiees. And it would jsut rock if it was both...

Look at it this way. Sure Galaxies wasn't that great but think about it. A company that makes horrible systems and TV's got with Lucas arts on making a game. that doesn't even make sense. With the success of bioware so far it would be a great game. Plus KotOR is an awesome series so far and if you put the two together it will be kick ***. in it you should be able to choose sides like in SWG but it should branch out more into Sith, Republic, Mandalorians, Czerka Corp. That would be truely awesome. In fact I was jsut thinking about this the other day. DO IT!

All I have to say is KOTORMMORPG is just too many random letters for a game name. Lol Just settle down and wait to see what happens. No use getting all upset over nothing. Wait until they announce it before you make a big fuss. If enough people hate it, they will change it, like the PS3 controller. Anyone remember the boomerang that never made it to production?

You're a complete idiot. Do you honestly think they're going to look at your text block and not develop a game? The developers want to make a good game that will make a lot of money. The idea for a KOTOR MMORPG is outstanding and I believe with BioShock behind it, could rival WoW. If SWG was reverted to Pre-CU I'd be back in no time.

First off WoW is not all that great. Granted they have some good elements but a large percentage of their success has also been a factor of timing in the market. When your game works and everyone elses is screwed up while they are making dramatic changes, your bound to garner some hefty profits...Can you say tired of dwarfs and elfs?...Second I'm sure with Kotor's success that they will continue to kick out more of their popular series...If they do decide to make a MMO of KOTOR they will most likely have an entirely different team of developers on it. This would not effect the series everyone is crying over so protectively. There is a huge pool of MMO players in limbo after SWG's took a nose dive and a company would be foolish to not want to fish those players in...business is about making money after all.

k buds, is it not possible to have mmo AND non-mmo? like halo, for example...have the ability to choose campaign OR multiplayer? sure, it'd take longer, but heck, it'd be worth the wait, if you could play the storyline, and then when you're done just go chill with other people online and be all "i don't like this guy...i'm gonna kill him". and like fight...that'd be a game worth buying, man.

FOR THE LVOE OF GOD MAKE# Another star wars MMO Galaxies ahs gone to hell, everyone left cause hte game creators dont listen to players and make horrible changes that are not canon at all, A kotor mmo would be amazing, theres so much freedom to do tihngs without worrying about affecting the whoel story of star wars, thers so much unexplored space, and having jedi around wouldnt be implausable, IT Wouldnt ruin KOTOR becuase it wouldnt be a sequel, mmos cant be sequels so it would just be a kotor time era not a continuation os the KOTOR fans dont have to get all pissy
PLEASE PLEASE DONT REPEAT THE MISTAKES OF SOE and the NGE they put in Star wars galaxies Other than that im drooling over a new SW MMO

I think making Kotor MMO would kick %^$, but KOTOR III should remain like the rest of the series and stay as a RPG. It wouldn't be fair to the other KOTOR fans out there to force them to play a MMO just to play the next istall ment.

I think this would be a bad idea because it just wont feel the same with kotor as a mmorpg plus i like the xbox controls better like someone said earlier. A good idea would be to make it a mmorpg but on xbox live so that way it would feel the same as a mmorpg and ppl will be able to play the regular story this would be awsome that way everyone wins.

I think KOTOR 3 Should be made for XBOX 360 RPG and a 360/PC MMO. How?

The canon story of Revan, the Exile and every character in the series should be FULLY completed first.. Only then can the MMO be set up for PC/360 players.

Finally! i have been waiting for another star wars mmorpg. especially if bioware makes it. if they give it some of the freedom you had in pre CU swg, then it will sweep WoW off the market! I personally want it to be an mmo and be linked between 360, PC, PS3, and (wii possibly). They should set it in the time of the mandalorian wars! no skrewups bioware! you could own with this idea! (By freedom i mean NO CLASSES) like swg used to be, and we need to be able to be entertainers man!

If Bioware makes the online version the same way they made kotor 1, it will be bigger than wow. Personally I have never played wow but everyone knows about it, think of how many players will be playing kotor the MMO! I just hope they hire the same guy who did the score for kotor 1, his musiced rocked.

I think it would be a really good idea, ive been a fan of the KOTOR games ever since KOTOR 1 came out... and i still find it the best game as far as charactar customization and all that stuff goes, so i think that if you were to expand that and turn it into an mmo it would sell alot... and also i think all of the people that say "duurrr dont release it for the computer that would be stupid".... are stupid.... who says there cant be an MMO for 360? and who says you have to pay for it... i know of plenty of games that are mmo that u dont need to pay for.

This info is inaccurate. Lucasarts is working with Bioware on an MMO project, but the game has nothing to do with KOTOR. Lucasarts said this themselves in an interview. I don't think Bioware would make KOTOR 3 a MMO. They know that would a crap idea. But Star Wars is deffinately in need of an MMO because Galaxies is utter *******s!

just think about it. in a MMO the player is playing in a static world where the story doesn't progress unless there are expansions or additional content. thats what makes the single-player games so cool. u see how it evolves. but in MMOs u have to complete some quest/mission just to learn where an important guy (say Revan) is. but we cant get to him...cause we have to w8 for the next expansion. i think our old friend Lucas should make a SP game then if it sells good to make a MMO out of it. bliz managed to make a MMO from a RTS. now how hard can it be to make a MMO out of a RPG? -.-

You people are saying stuff like mmo is a bad idea stick to rpg and your saying the Xbox controls were easier,

The Xbox controls are not easier, the Xbox360 can play online, like Final Fantasy 11 is online for the 360.

And it would turn to a mmoRPG so it will still be a rpg just with spammers around you trying to veer you off course with the game,

When i completed KOTOR, i lent it to my mate and the first thing we both said after we completed it was, ''It would make a great online game'' there could be a way to release it on the xbox360 with xbox live, but they could keep the playing style but have it online, which would be great, maybe a guild wars feal to it

XBOX vs PC

I think the MMO is a great idea as long as the XBOX 360 isn't part of it. XBOX sucks for one thing. The controllers are too slow vs the PC. You could make the XBOX kiddies be the targets for the PC players. That might fit in nicely since obviously they would be no competition against PC players. XBOX in short should be left on by the wayside. XBOX sucks.

An MMO would be great. I agree with the guys before me though they the XBox should be left out. Their bandwidth is much narrower than the PC leaving them at a disadvantage. Hense making the MMO much less challenging to PC users. Not to mention the XBOX would allow a huge amount of sniveling kiddies into the game. Thumbs down to XBOX. Keep them out.

Regarding Crap

Rob

This is a horrible idea. Am I going to have to stop playing games all together? I suppose I will if they all just become MMO's. Who has the time for crap like this?
Someone living with their parents who has no job? Or someone who plays this game and isolates them self from the rest of their family because that's the only way you can be successful in games such as this?
I'm sick of MMO's. Why does every major game franchise feel the need to extend outward in this direction? Maybe I don't want to play my game with the rest of the world. Screw the rest of the word. And for that matter maybe I want to play at my own pace with an actual story line that leads somewhere and has a conclusion. These games are just a cheap cop out to keep the money flowing. There is nothing spectacular about them. They're flat, time consuming, and terminal to the story line of any game for which they are adapted.
If you're a KOTOR fan who is looking forward to this then you're welcoming the end with open arms.. enjoy

I beleive that KOTOR should stay as an RPG. You still keep the genre and all of it's fans without huge risk of losing them. The problem with making an MMO of KOTOR is that you would be competing with World of Warcraft of which many have tried to compete with and failed miserabley, (Conan and Lord of the Rings is a good example.) If you keep it RPG, you won't have the risk of it falling through like Star Wars Galaxies and you will hopefully have one last chapter of a great saga. It's good bussiness sense.

The fact is, more people have PC's than X-BOX. creating a mmo, with game subscriptions, will be far more profitable than KOTOR3 xbox game. Welcome to the new age of gaming, especially off of popular titles like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.

Get used to it.

Wow...some of you kids on here are big on it not going pc? Do you realize this MMO has longely been awaited? Many REAL gamers whom have actually played swg think it has been totally changed for the worse... they killed it and it sucks now. Just because you clearly only like consoles (which by common sense of technology will always be behind pc gaming, especially graphics wise and control wise) because thats all you can afford, why should everyone else conform to what you have? Greedy I must say.

I and thousands of others are waiting for this MMORPG to come out, look on the real gaming forums and see yourself. I await the day beta comes out...I just can't wait!

Look at the one kid, he even says "screw the rest of the world" and basically says mmo's are stupid and don't make money! rofl, only stupid brat kids are the ones posting this xbox RPG stuff on here, most are quite laughable and total nonsense filled idiocy.

We all want what the old SWG was (pre space flight)... it was soooo fun getting groups of rebels in one town and riding our new bikes to the next town to fight some imperial players. The weapons, the travel system, it was the best...IMHO better than WoW in almost every aspect..

Then they wanted to make big changes....totally lost its worthyness. I agree with a post above, Sony failed in the end. I am pretty sure they lost the LucasArts lic. too! Go Go new team! Great updates so far!
