Knights of the Old Republic 2!

[Bond]

From EGM:

Next Month: June 2004 - Issue #179

You'll find no Jar Jars in this corner of the fabled galaxy far, far away - even if you did, you could dabble in the dark side and strangle 'em with the Force. Knights of the Old Republic, the stellar Xbox RPG that restored Star Wars' sci-fi reputation, returns with a sequel, and we've got the world-exclusive scoop. Join us as our interrogation droid extracts top-secret screens, intel, a pullout poster, and part one in a set of special collector's covers (complete the picture with Computer Gaming World).

I read about that. Gonna be cool.

[Dyne]

I want to see how it'll do now that the series it out of bioware's hands.

Hopefully Jade Empire will be good.

if its half as good as the first it will be the best game ever released!!!

hmmmmmm...... i see where i have follied.......well then regardless, it will still be the best game ever made..... :(

KOTOR was a big disappointment for me only for the fact that the worlds were so so soooo small :(

[Typhoid]

but the fact that the game was so incredibaly awsome, kind of gets rid of the bad parts doesnt it? I think it was the best XBOX game so far.....well if not its definately up there.

[bobcat]

The thing that pissed me off most is the languages they speak. It's repeated, and totally ruins the story for me.

And the heads are similar, like they don't change. These small annoyances caused me not to play the game maybe as much as I should.

[Blackmane]

I'm looking forward to playing that. it should be good enough for most to enjoy seeing that it is Star Wars.

[thatmariolover]

Eh.. Wow... I hated KoToR. Couldn't stand it. Guess I'll get to hate it twice over...

[Professor S]

Why would you even play it if you hated the first? Makes no sense.

[Ginkasa]

What about it did you hate....?


*shrugs and walks away*

[thatmariolover]

I'm not intending to play it. Although, I doubt I'll be able to avoid seeing it since my friend is obsessed with the game. I can at least give the game a try, though.

As to why I didn't like the first, I don't really know. I strongly disliked the controls and battle system (probably the biggest issues) and the story didn't catch my attention. But who knows, maybe the second time around they'll do something I can like.

[Professor S]

If they change their battle system it will be the biggest mistake they could make. That battle system for an RPG is revolutionary for a console game as it mixed real time with trun based play. KOTOR is a true Video RPG, and not an action RPG which may be the reason why you disliked it.

i um 'borrowed' :sneaky: the 1st game from my friend for the PC. so i have it on my pc right now. i just find it boring really. i guess its not my type. I'd of had a lot more fun if the fighting was more of a zeldaish then its true RPG'ish type.

Perhaps it gets better later on i havnt played too much of it. But this far i really doubt i'd get the 2nd.

[Bube]

Maybe you haven't played enough. KOTOR gets better as you learn new abilities, and it gets awesome after you become a Jedi. Nothing beats attacking with flurry, equipped with a blue saber. :D And the thing you learn near the end of the game... Whoa! I couldn't believe my eyes, so I continued from a save point just to read it again. The story was just unbelievable.

I'd get the 2nd the second it comes out. <---- Bad :)

[Ginkasa]

The story seems to take in the dark side ending of the last game...but the article (you didn't completely post it all the way Ace, FYI) said it allowed the possibly of both endings so...

Anyway, its looking pretty neat. Second only to Wind Waker 2 for most anticipated sequel ^_^

[Acebot44]

Heh, only three scans were given to XBLgamers so I guess we are all out of luck here. I'm sure we will get the rest of the info soon enough though.

Is it just me or does anyone else not like the thought of being the Last Jedi? I mean, I felt lonely all by myself in Halo(single player) and would of liked to have had another Spartan fighting along side me in the story. Who will we fight against if we are the last Jedi? It does however say that we are the last "known" jedi so maybe(most likely) we get to fight another.

After reading the article again it seems to me that Sith Lords will be kind of like KOTOR 1.5, just fixing what the first missed, and there's nothing wrong with that. New story, same game mechanics and partially better graphics. I'm not gonna hype myself up on this one so I cant be disappointed like last time :)
