Godsidian Pitches New Star Wars RPG to LucasArts

Plus Disney said they would outsource some games related to Star Wars, so it is quite possible that if a studio really wants to develop a Star Wars game, Disney would let them do it.

DarkGamer007

Didn't know that... Interesting.

I'd actually rather they do stuff on their own. I liked Alpha Protocol a lot, so much of that game is funny. If they had more time to work on it, I'm sure the Madison mission and endings would've been much better. And the combat felt odd but I still liked it. But the main reason I loved it was that there was so much hilarious dialogue. I don't see that happening with a star wars game.

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"] Kotor 1 does have one of the most memorable plot twists I've ever seen in a video game, yeah.lundy86_4

I honestly can't think of anything, in this gen, that matched that twist.

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]Given that it was very nearly superior to the game it was a sequel to? Yeah, I'd say so.Slow_Show

That's debatable (the high points may have been better, but the amount of content that failed to make it into the game really hurt the overall game flow and story), and it was sure as hell buggier than the original. The point being that considering how quickly Obsidian fans are willing to shift blame for all the developers' failings to publisher interference, the fact Obsidian is talking about shacking up with LucasArts again kinda raises some questions (to say the least).

Well, now I need to play both of those... I've been wanting Spec Ops for a while, and I completely forgot about TTM. Oh my.

Does RCM changes the ending and the final few sections of the game?

Never tried RCM, and the final parts of KOTOR 2 are definitely the most lacking ones!

Just bought To the Moon... Feels prepared.

I thought they were making a Kickstarter game? Do they have multiple teams or is that just a small project?

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Have you played it with the RCM? Because you should. It really fixes all of the issues with the game. As for the Obsidian/LucasArts thing... it was kinda LucasArts' fault. And I guess they just really wanted to work on Star Wars again?DarkLink77

That's great, will do a replay when I have the time. Never bothered modding that game, are there any other highly recommended mods?

That's nice, hope you like it... just don't expect much (if anything) in the way of gameplay, the game is basically a visual novel...

And hope you don't end up getting bothered by the banter between doctors (you'll know what I mean when you start), some find it awkward and out of place, but I actually thought it balances out the storyline, it it wasn't there, the story might've felt forced and too serious for its own good.

Yeah, I pretty much knew it was essentially a VN from a while back. Largely why I held off. I heard it's great though.

I'll see what you mean soon :P

Crap, I think slashless hacked DL's account.

But texas always gives such legitimate praise and has such interesting debates.....

lul.

Obsidian and Star Wars? Match made in heaven. 

What I would love is if Obsidian developed Battlefront 3. They've already shown they can take over franchises and actually make them just as good if not better, ie. KOTOR 2, FO:NV.

Man, I'd love this. KOTOR1 is great but the Obsidian sequel blew out of the water even with all of the bugs, crashes, and axed content. I haven't read the comics and novels, but it's the best representation of the Sith/Jedi divergence that I've ever seen. I'd love to see them get another crack at it.

The only way a better SW game could be made is if Obsidian got the contract and then said, "we're making all of the RPG stuff but we're partnering with Itagaki or Kamiya to handle all lightsaber combat."

Obsidian >>>
KOTOR 2 >>> KOTOR1

New Vegas >>> Fallout3

Neverwinter Nights 2 >> NWN1

Godsidian! :cool:

Godsidion? I have yet to play some amazing game they made that was not fallout 3 in las vegasredskins26rocs

First off Fallout3 felt NOTHING like Fallout, Fallout New Vegas though felt alot like the old fallout games, MUCH better in every aspects besides the radio stations imo.

- Neverwinter Nights 2  - Great D+D game that has 3 expansion packs and some of the best mods around (Thousands of user made CAMPAIGNS, including someone remaking the whole ICEWIND DALE RPG in NWN2 engine with the mod tools). Better that what Bioware did with NWN1 imo (which i also liked just not as much). Not to mention Mask of The Betrayer expansion is one of the best rpgs ever and one of the best expansion packs ever, so well writen and jsut a wonderful rpg to play. Most find Mask Of The Betrayer to be Obsidians best work.

- KOTOR 2 - Fantastic and imo better than the first one was (better dialogue, story and characters)

- Alpha Protocol - Up there as the msot underrated game this gen for me

Then you can also go far back and play some of the games that current Obsidian memebers worked on before (Fallout2, Planscape Torment,Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale 2, etc..). Check out the games that the founding Obsidian officers have made in the past (Chris Avellone, Feargus Urquhart, Chris Parker, Darren Monanan and Chris Jones). Also see Black Isle Studios old games.

They also have South Park RPG coming out, along with Project Eternity rpg coming out.

Have you played any of the other games that are similar to To The Moon?

A good RPG set in the Star Wars universe would be a good thing to happen, doesn't have to be Kotor 3. Another MMO is meh, unless they come up with some very interesting gameplay mechanics and not just another grind fest.

Well the only two games this gen that ahve brought me to tears was To The Moon and The Walking Dead (Telltale).

Not really the same games but both are more about characters/story and bringing out emotions then it is about crazy gameplay,etc..

Not to many games like To The Moon out there! Be on the look out for the new To The Moon game though, its pretty far into development now (there is a music theme and I liek 3-4 screenshots that ahve been released).

I find Star Wars stories to generally be terrible, but Obsidian makes awesome stories and characters, so it could be cool.

Luckily this time they won't have to build off of a bad game that Bioware made.

while thier games are buggy I still enjoy them. So yea bring it on.

The best part of this was the Lil B reference

I loved New Vegas, but KOTOR 2 was completely unfinished... I am cautiously optimistic about this.

LucasArts forced KotoR 2 out the door for a holiday release. You can get the unifnished content enabled with a small mod

There's always an excuse for Obsidian's unfinished games. The thing with Obsidian is, they never had good production management in the first place, which is why they've always had trouble with multiple publishers.

In any business, especially creative, production management rules everything. Doesn't matter if you're a visionar y director, amazing musician, or talented video game developer, your work will go to the dogs if you can't manage time wisely. An even worse example of mismanagement is Silicon Knights.

To put it bluntly, Chris Parker needs to remove himself from the senior producer/CDO role at Obsidian. He's never proven to have his sh!t sorted in the management position.

I rather have BioWare make a new one.

I'm interested. Now, we only need a new Battlefront game.

Awesome if it happens and as an Obsidian and SW fan it'd be a day 1 buy, but, basing it between Ep3 and Ep4 kind've irks me as we know our characters are doomed from the outset considering there is only 2 Jedi (and 2 force sensitive twins) remaining when Ep4 takes place.

But meh, still a good 20 or so years on not so certain time to base a kick ass game around.

A non-KotOR 3 title is not the game we need right now, but the one that we deserve.

i wouldnt mind if it takes place between 3 and 4. a kotor sequel is kinda ruined unless they retcon the revan book and the old republic

Finish Project Eternity first and the Stick of Truth. Then we'll talk Obsidian Star Wars RPGFrozenLiquid

It's a bit worrying them trying to tackle 3 projects when they rarely can even tackle 1.

I really hope your right. When these guys can make a complete game it destroys other RPG's.
