 I've Been Thinking About KOTOR III
Hello All!
First I would like to say that this is my first post with Gamebanshee. I've been following your website for about a year, and have paid particular attention to all of the posts about a possible KOTOR III.
Without trying to rehash everything that has already surmised regarding this subject, I confess that like many of you I am perplexed as to why KOTOR III has not even been announced yet.
After considerable thought on the subject, I think I might have a couple of ideas. Notice I did not say they were new ideas, because it is possible that with all of the hype on this subject, someone else may have thought about these ideas first. If that is the case, then I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes.
Idea #1: Given the "highly" uneven feel of KOTOR II, I believe that a KOTOR III will be (if ever officially made) be a hybrid RPG - real-time strategy game. There are two main scenarios that I forsee.
First, the main character (neither Revan nor the Exile) could concieveably chose the path of the ligh side, and seek to rebuild the Jedi order, (where Revan and/or the Exile failed) and leads a grand army against the Sith (the true Sith that Kreia alludes to in KOTOR II).
A second scenario would involve the main character (again neither Revan nor the Exile) being one of the true Sith, and leading his/her army against Carth Onassi and the New Jedi Order to crush the rebuilt republic.
Given that we are in the midst of a technological shift in terms of next gen consoles (XBOX 360, PS3) and newer and better PC's (MS Windows Vista, DirectX 10 graphics cards) such an event like KOTOR III will not occur until these new paradigms have caught on full force.
My best guess for KOTOR III will be some time mid-late 2009. Granted that's 5 years after KOTOR II (and I do hope it won't be that long), but better late than never.
Best wishes for summer everyone.
Happy Gaming!
