A new KOTOR game was seemingly announced at an EA Analyst Meeting this morning. At the meeting a list of what were previously BioWare/Pandemic-owned studios was presented, along with the games in production at each. While there are a myriad of games on the list, the BioWare-developed list is the most interesting by far, as the contents address a host of rumors and speculation. It seems that BioWare is developing not only an MMO but a real sequel in the KOTOR series. As KOTOR fans We can't think of anyone we'd rather have develop the third (and one might think last; trilogies and all) game in the KOTOR series than BioWare. Great news, but what does this mean about the "New MMO"? Is it Star Wars based? Is it something totally new? BioWare has had success with new IP lately ... dare we say Mass Effect MMO?

Could it be true!?
Man oh man, I have been waiting for this game for what seems like ages...
I loved the first two games and am sure that the next one will be equally amazing; dare I dream... even better?!
Note to Bioware: I will happily give you my hard-earned cash-money for this game... I'd even accept a remake of the first one... yes, I liked it that much, lol

And knowing EA they'll probably even try to port it to Sega Genesis. Either way, I definitely welcome a KOTOR sequel.

And Criterion is has Black on it's list.
Does that mean another Black is in the works?
Or rather both titles are being worked on for Xbox Originals?

I think it's become clear that MMO's not based on a license of note don't do as well. Between WoW and LotRO (which is successful, although nowhere near WoW's numbers) and the hype for Conan and Warhammer, I just don't even know how something like Mass Effect could fit in there. I just don't see the average person caring about that universe nearly as much in comparison, simply because the others have had many years to build up that interest in their lore, characters and so forth.
It makes me think Bioware would be better off investing their energy in a new Star Wars MMO, as obvious as that would be. It's not like many people love Galaxies since it was changed dramatically a while back.

I am sorry I will have to disagree with you on that Tony. Guild Wars which in all its iterations was successful(although not a MMORPG in its truest sense) .So if you actually give the players something which has a definite cool factor associated with it then I dont see why we cant have a successful MMORPG. In fact, as a GW fan I would love to see it port to a 360 cause it can make that jump with relative ease(however with NCsoft on Sonys side I seriously doubt that will ever happen). In fact, my guildie used to play it with his Xbox controller(not 360) and preferred it to the keyboard/mouse.

A Black sequel was announced/rumored a few weeks ago, if I recall.

Never did like KOTOR, i played them and didn't see anything special. Never been a fan of RPGs anyway but yeah, didn't seem to bring anything new to the table.

If you're not a fan of RPGs then how can you expect to have liked the first two. I'm not a fan of sports games, but does that mean I think they're bad, of course not.

I HIGHLY doubt it. This seems as more of a list of the important games each studio has put out and some new titles that are coming from some studios.
