[color=66ff00]I hope it's longer and more interesting than the previous game. I also want to see more outcomes rather than just a light/dark ending.

BTW can someone please tell me where the heck HalfLife 2 is?!?

[elorran]

Under development

[Zuljin]

*drools heavily*
Now this is something I will be looking forward too

[Tiara]

Whoa, those graphics are FUGLY. At least, they are compared to other recent games.

My thought exactly.

Whoever made the decision, that no main character of KOTOR1 won't return should be shot. I mean, what's the point in actually developing more-interesting-than-usual characters, if they ain't even going to return in the sequel. It would be like making Empire Strikes Back without Luke, Han and Leia.

Especially, if the new characters are, apparently clones of  the old ones ('pretty boy soldier' someone 'just like HK-74', etc)

And?

By the way:

It is too odd that every Jedi on that picture has DUAL lightsabers. Has it already become a mania?

[Turnsky]

looks like an alpha, a very basic alpha, using the same engine..

shame the screenies don't do the engine any justice.. we'll just have to wait until the actual screenshots are released.

Personally I'm thinking Jade Empire is going to be better than this.

yep. Also, that character in the last picture (beside the robot) looks like a butch lesbian :D

[TopAce]

A lesbian? That girl?

[Langy]

It's probably so fugly because that's the X-BOX version:p

The first KOTOR kicked ass, so I'm probably going to be buying this when it gets released.

That article says the release date is February of 2005, by the way.

[TopAce]

You know that 'official release dates' mean nothing.
If they say, it will be out in February, 2005, then it won't be out by the summer of 2005.

I look forward to this with great anticipation.

KotOR was the finest Star Wars game and indeed, PC RPG, I've ever played, without exception.

Yes, dual-wielding is a mania, TopAce. Considering its been a mania for munchkins in every RPG system that involved swords since 1974, its only to be expected that Star Wars fanboys would like it too.

[TopAce]

It kills the feeling that all Jedi use lightsabers on all of their limbs.

[JC Denton]

Is it moddable?  No?  I'll pass.

No matter how engrossing a storyline is, there are only a finite number of ways of getting from start to finish and trying something different.  Unless there's some way of adding your own content (a.k.a. the Aurora Toolset for us NWN afficionados), the game gets played once or twice, then sits in a desk for a few years.  Official stuff is nice (sometimes), but I've seen end-user mods that are easily superior to the materials the game devs themselves created.  The mod-unfriendliness of the original KOTOR is one reason why I will not buy it until it's a bargain-bin grab.
