Mill o’ Rumour: KotOR MMO?
Electronic Gaming Monthly, who used to be journalists, is now reporting that BioWare has formed a new team to develop a new Knights of the Old Republic game. One problem, apparently it’s not KotOR 3.
EGM has reported that BioWare has formed a team of Super friends to develop a Massively Multiplayer KotOR. This is a bad idea, plain and simple. The MMO market is already overly saturated with games piled upon games. Guild Wars, WoW, Everquest & Everquest 2, Dark Age of Camelot, City of Heroes/Villians, The Matrix Online (more or less), Second Life, not to mention that there already IS a Star Wars MMO, Star Wars Galaxies.
Now, unless LucasArts is willing to slap SOE in the face by letting someone else develop a new Star Wars MMO, I don’t see this happening, even though I am sure BioWare WOULD make a great MMO. For now, in any case, I hope it’s not true. I just want there to be a KotOR 3 to tie up the story, and then… go nuts with it. I’d love to play a KotOR MMO, but for now just give me the final entry in the Trilogy, K?

I read that today, too. I have seen videos somewhere on the internet that looked like a KotOR looking game with 2 seperate characters running around using force powers on each other. Though it may have just been my imagination. But I would only play a KotOR MMO if they made it for the 360. Only because my computer sucks ass and wouldn’t be able to run it. LOL
