EA to Play in Knights of the Old Republic - Technology Blog - Tech Observer - Portfolio.com

Quote:

"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," said Riccitiello. The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. "And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about -- in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it."

Does Riccitiello mean the oft rumored Knights of the Old Republic Online? "Yes," he said.

Finally.

That article is written really oddly. There are numerous mistakes. Like it says Vivendi bought Activision to get World of Warcraft.

I wouldn't trust that article.

EA is working on the next version of Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic, and it will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it.

Watch the Massively Multiplayer aspect be online Pazzak & speeder races.

You clearly didn't read the article, or the link.

They need an MMO to make up for the fail that will be Warhammer.

Daezuel · 07-17-2008, 12:44 PM

Hard to get excited anymore about a game so far away from release. That said, can't wait to hear more about this!

You haven't played much of the star wars games, at least, its Bioware who is doing it, they have a good record for fun Star Wars games.

I'm sure the eye roll emote was not intended...

"Moving into MMOs is an essential component for any gaming company, and it's a big part of the reason Vivendi merged with Activision, for that company's World of Warcraft MMO."

That's blatantly incorrect in any possible reading of that sentence.

Such great news.

Thanks for the info!!

Kotor 1 was a lot of fun, spoilers aside, great storyline, awesome fx, great NPC's, and the original force/alignment system rocked.

With AoC we had sorta of a Glimpse of a Bioware'ish MMO with the quests dialogue options, but perhaps with Kotor online it will actually play a decent role.

Day one and will hope for a beta seat.

Wish it could be launched by 2009 but I bet the silence is because the game should be due what? 2011-12+?

We will be like, old. X)

I bet the graphics will look just like Mass Effect, wonder where the netcode is comming from.
