Obsidian to pitch Star Wars RPG.

Well I didn't see anything else about this so thought I would post it.

In an interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Obsidian's CEO Fergus Urquhart, is aparantly about to start talks with LucasArts/Disney to work on a Star Wars RPG set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

Sounds interesting to me, I just hope that unlike with KotOR II: The Sith Lords, they are allowed to work at there own pace and actually finish the game instead of been forced to ship a broken product,

I really hope this happens. Now we just need someone to make Battlefront 3...

Woo! Hopefully this gets made, Star Wars needs a good game after the dumbness that was Force Unleashed 1&2

Well it isn't exactly a sequel to Kotor, but sweet! Sounds promising. Now like everyone else says, onto Battlefront 3! and maybe eventually a Republic Commando sequel.

Despite the fact that KOTOR 2's bugs, crashes and freezes still wake me up at night, it was still a very, very, very good game. If they are given enough time, this new game could be amazing.

YES! 

Its not KOTOR 3 but its close.

What's with all this hate for Kotor 2? I thought it was an amazing game. I can't even recall when it glitched up or anything. Granted it wasn't as good as the first one, but it's nowhere near as bad to actually complain about it.Solid_Snake325

I'm all for a SW RPG, but that time period is too close for what Disney has planned for their newest set of films. I don't think they'll go for it. Why not take a que from the Kotor series and set it hundreds of years BBY. Not a decade. As long as they have a good developmental window to finish the game and aren't rushed, then by all means go for it.

can you guys imagine how many awsome star wars games would already be made if there was no intellectual property. It's a waste having the awsome star wars universe and no one is able to make games for it. dkdk999

It would suck in many ways as well. If anyone can set a game in Star Wars universe then we will see countless games set there with many just banking on the name.

[QUOTE="dkdk999"][QUOTE="Black_Knight_00"] Star Wars is pretty much spent, in my opinion. After 35 years of movies, games, books, comics and fanfiction, it'd take a drastic turn to produce something fresh. My idea is they should ignore the Jedi/Force aspect altogether and write a completely different story, which is what seems to be happening with 1313. Here's hoping.Black_Knight_00

[QUOTE="dkdk999"] So you hope the new star wars game is completely different from star wars ? Travo_basic

Wouldn't really be Star Wars without some kind of Force aspect to it. If you want to play a game thats all about mercenaries and bounty hunters etc there are thousands of alternatives.

There been a few Star Wars games that that have not been without a playable Jedi. Shadow of the Empire comes to my mind. I read Star Wars book where the force was down played.

I also understand that the force is the most defining part of Star Wars. It would be like talking about Warhammer 40k without including chaos. The force users are the individual that have normally had the most control

He does make some point. Look around 13:40.

I am more worry about how they will handle the gun fights and out of combat skills.
