A source close to BioWare confirmed to us today that the studio’s upcoming untitled massively-multiplayer online RPG will be centered around the Star Wars universe, specifically that of Knights of the Old Republic

[codemaster]

wow kui see tõele vastab siis, siis yesss lihtsalt

[LightsabeR]

Jäi ka see uudis silma. Muretsema paneb mind see, et Bioware kuulub nüüd minu teada EA'le. Viimane on aga firma, mis minu silmis on igasuguse usalduse kaotanud ning saavutanud "parima mängude pe*se keeraja" tiitli. Loodan muidugi, et EA annab Bioware developeridele vabad käed, ning poisid saavad teha seda, mida nad soovivad. Ainult sellisel juhul võib siit midagi head tulla.

Ah jaa, veel nii palju, et kuna mäng ennustati välja tulema 2009 aastal, siis arvestades trende MMO maailmas, ei näe see ilmavalgust enne 2010't.

[krr]

It's currently unknown whether or not EA, which acquired BioWare last week, will act as publisher for this title, or if the studio had a previous arrangement with another publisher.

kuna bioware nüüd ea omanduses, siis väike kahtlus selle mängu suhtes
nüüd hakkavad tulema mängud a la baldurs gate 07 ja nwn 08 sims edition

[noonius]

huh hoh, loodetavasti ei ole seal neid filmidest pärit tüüpe, kuna need olid ikka väga nõmedad, isegi Darth Vader

[Paganarh]

nu kui KOTOR temaatika siis reinu- ja muid Vadereid seal pole. tegevus toimub ikkagi (mõni?) tuhat aastat enne filmi sündmusi

[Timberg]

Yedid ikka on. Kõik hakkavad yedideks. Word .)

[Paganarh]

seal võiks ewokeid saada nottida. oleks esimene onlinemäng mida ma suurima rahuldustundega grindiks

[Eints]

[Megadux]

[xtriz]

Oot, misasja... KotOR III on siis MMO?
Kurat küll. Seda ma küll ei lootnud. Oleks tahtnud vana head kotor SP mängida.
Ei viitsi MMOdega jamama hakata - liiga sõltuvusttekitavad ja aeganõudvad.


Tehti juba Warcraft MMO, et siis järgmiseks lõppeb vist elder scrolls saga kah ära ning tuleb selle teemaline MMO?

Nüüd ei teagi enam, mida arvata

Wondering what that BioWare/Lucasarts project was going to be? Oh, come on. Like you couldn't guess. During EA's analyst report earlier today, it was seemingly revealed that in addition to working on more Mass Effect, Dragon Age and a "New MMO", BioWare are also handling a new Knights of the Old Republic title. Which means that, if accurate, it's not their upcoming MMO. So, a new, straight-up RPG, then? Probably. If this is indeed correct (and we're checking with EA), your excitement glands can't possibly repel joy of this magnitude.

[Killer85]

pagan, oleks ikka midagi muud biowarelt soovinud, kui starwarsi crappi

[Timberg]

<ork warlock yedi .P

[xtriz]

[drac]

Dragon Age võiks hoopis valmis saada väikest viisi...

[madness]

jaa..Kotor III, singleplayer RPG meeldiks küll rohkem!

Nüüd loodame et native Maci klient kah sellele tuleb

Bioware'i MMO on KOTOR 3. Lucasartist kirvest saanud töötajad lekitasid info.

Ever since it was announced in 2006, BioWare's massively multiplayer role-playing game has been shrouded in mystery. Though the Canadian developer opened a satellite studio in Austin, Texas, just to develop it, its cofounders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk maintained an iron wall of silence. However, Electronic Arts knew enough about the title to help convince the company to buy BioWare/Pandemic for $860 million last year.

Today, as E3 2008 wound down, the fog hanging around BioWare's MMORPG appears to have dissipated. Less than 72 hours after presiding over EA's own press event--where the project was nowhere to be found--CEO John Riccitiello almost casually revealed the MMORPG in question is a sequel of sorts to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

[kuldplaat]

Arvatavasti on siis Bioware MMORPG mootoriks siis HeroEngine. Terve HeroEngini leht on reklaami täis

kuldplaat, oot, aga kes veel Hero Enginit kasutab?

[kuldplaat]

Hakkas ennast ka huvitama
Stray Bullet Games, ShadowBane loojad, arendavad oma uut, veel nimetut, MMORPG-d. http://www.straybulletgames.com/news/20070112.shtml
Colony Studios teevad Universe Online, uusi uudiseid neist pole juba 8 kuud . Gameplay videotest aga näeb midagi sellist, mis võiks kindlasti ka Bioware mmorpgsse jõuda. Space flight!
ZeniMax Online Studios, Bethseda(Elder Scrolls, fallout) tütarfirma vms. MMOG-de jaoks. Pole veel midagi kuulutanud.
TRIANIT- ei saanud saksa keelest aru

Word is spreading throughout the Internets that LucasArts and BioWare are at long last prepared to pull the curtain and speak more about the long-awaited co-project between the two companies.

The event, which many suspect will be the official announcement of the Knights of the Old Republic MMO, begins on October 21, 2008. Invitations were already dispatched and now the package is all but unwrapped.

You know what the best part is? None of you are invited (and neither are we).

OCTOBER 21, SAN FRANCISCO — LucasArts and BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Star Wars®: The Old Republic™, a story-driven massively multiplayer online PC game set in the timeframe of the Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ franchise. Star Wars: The Old Republic, being developed and published by BioWare and LucasArts, represents an innovative approach to interactive entertainment, featuring immersive storytelling, dynamic combat and intelligent companion characters.

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players will explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy. Players can choose to play as Jedi, Sith, or a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, defining their personal story and determining their path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way, players will befriend courageous companions who will fight at their side or possibly betray them, based on the players’ actions. Players can also choose to team up with friends to battle enemies and overcome incredible challenges using dynamic Star Wars combat.

“Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is the most critically acclaimed Star Wars game in LucasArts history and a preeminent example of our company’s interactive storytelling heritage,” said Darrell Rodriguez, President of LucasArts. “For a long time, we’ve wanted to return to the franchise in a grand way, and we felt that the best setting for it was an online world that would allow millions of people to participate in the experience together. We knew that the developer capable of working with us to deliver an engrossing story with a fully-realized online world was BioWare.”

“Traditionally, massively multiplayer online games have been about three basic gameplay pillars — combat, exploration and character progression,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder and General Manager/CEO of BioWare and General Manager/Vice President of Electronic Arts Inc., “In Star Wars: The Old Republic, we’re fusing BioWare’s heritage of critically-acclaimed storytelling with the amazing pedigree of Lucasfilm and LucasArts, and adding a brand-new fourth pillar to the equation — story. At the same time, we will still deliver all the fun features and activities that fans have come to expect in a triple-A massively multiplayer online game. To top it all off, Star Wars: The Old Republic is set in a very exciting, dynamic period in the Star Wars universe.”

Added Dr. Greg Zeschuk, Co-Founder and Vice President Development Operations, BioWare and Vice President, Electronic Arts Inc., “Star Wars: The Old Republic is set roughly 300 years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic, a timeframe that is completely unexplored in the lore. BioWare has been able to add to the Star Wars history in developing the game’s story and has created an overarching narrative that players can enjoy, regardless of their play style. Our goal is to offer players an emotionally rewarding experience that combines the traditional elements of MMO gameplay with innovations in story and character development.”

Additional details on Star Wars: The Old Republic features, gameplay and release date will be announced at a later time. For more information about Star Wars: The Old Republic and to sign up for future product updates, please visit www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com.
