I\'m Liking this game even more!!11 :D
A Visit with the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Producers [/u]
LucasArts.com: Tell us about the platforms for this game.
Mike: Since the beginning, we have been developing this game for both the PC and a next generation console platform. We are just now announcing our plans to bring the game to the Xbox as the console platform. One important reason is the opportunity for establishing this as one of the first strong RPG experiences on this new platform.
Casey: We are focusing specifically on each platform from a design and technology standpoint, and the team is committed to making a great Xbox experience, as well as a great PC experience.
LucasArts.com: How are launch dates determined for each platform?
Mike: We are planning to launch the Xbox version this coming fall, followed by the PC version next spring. One reason for this platform timing relates to other LucasArts PC release plans for the coming year. With the Star Wars Galaxies RPG also planned for the PC this fall, we want to provide some space between these two games.
LucasArts.com: How will the versions of the game vary by platform?
Casey: Each version will have a specifically designed interface that is best suited to those game players. We\'ve also tried to make the design as flexible as possible so that it\'s accessible to a lot of people, but also has the depth that RPG players expect. We\'ll also be taking advantage of as many of the hardware capabilities as possible on each platform.
We will announce additional platform specific features as the release dates for each version approach.
LucasArts.com: Will this game be like Baldur\'s Gate I & II?
Mike: We wanted to work with BioWare on this game because of their expertise and tremendous success with RPG games like Baldur\'s Gate I and II.
Casey: The game is visually different then anything that BioWare has done before, even Neverwinter Nights. I think that you can expect the same type of rich story and characters as in the Baldur\'s Gate series, along with a completely new combat system and interface.
LucasArts.com: When and how can we find out more?
Mike: Aside from the information on this site, we will be talking about the game quite a bit in the coming weeks and months, starting with the April issues of Official Xbox Magazine and Computer Games Magazine. Then we\'ll be showing the game at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3) show in May, plus extensive magazine and web stories.
Casey: We\'ll also be doing chats and keeping up with everyone on the official game forums, which launch today.
LucasArts.com: Thanks for your time and the update.

Lookin\' good. . .

You post a lot of unimpressive stuff, but this is a great looking game.

If anyone want to see screens shots and info on the Xbox: World Series Baseball 2002. I just posted them at Gaming Age. The screens just got realest. :D

yeah, lots of "realest" blur
wtf is with that?

Daddy likes

Looks awesome.. but I\'ve never been a fan of StarWars. I\'m really getting sick of everytime LA starts a new project.. it\'s always SW related. Come on.. you have more franchises than that!! Why not a new Indiana Jones game! Or how about a new Sam & Max? Grim Fedago? Something.. ANYTHING... Manic Mansion sequel?!?
Oh.. that\'s right. Anything StawWars will sell regardless of quality.. you have a brainwashed userbase who is just dying to get a fix until you\'re next bastardization of the SW legacy (Cough.. Episode 2.. Cough) comes out. It\'s almost as bad as wrestling games... *Sigh*

Am i drunk or do all new X box games have Exsessive Blur ?
if so
i think i best stay away for the big black ugly console as i perfer to do most of my gaming while drunk ;)

Very True!
This game looks amazing! and it\'s early...
-
Personally, I think it\'s looking nice. The fact that Bioware are the ones behind the project increases my interest.
And you guys complaining about blurring, you all have a PS2 right? So you should be used to it by now. :) :p
-
moot point
PS2 is over two years old, and i didnt see any blur while playing MGS2 last night :) :p
-
You weren\'t honestly playing MGS2 last night were you?
What is there left to do?
Is the blur on the baseball or SW? I really can\'t see anything in the SW pics.
-
i never beat MGS2
halfway thru it, i picked up FF10, ICO, and J&D
beat ICO, J&D, got bored with FF10
so now, im continuing MGS2
-
Those screen shots look pretty impressive. However not to drudge on with the "blur" debate, but I haven’t seen much of that on my PS2.... He must have been talking about my N64.:smokin:
-
Yeah, it\'s a bit blurry, but it\'s so early to judge a game. Let developers work and later we\'ll say if it\'s ok or not. Thanx for the pics.
PD: mm, bored with FFX? :eek:

WOW mm you\'re playing lots of games lately thats why I don\'t see you on these boards. ;)

No, but instead you get v-sync problems (screen tears from time to time especially when you\'re looking around) and some textures that look like they\'re being processed through a voodoo 2 card. :)
I don\'t think there\'s a need to debate about PS2 vs XBOX in terms of graphics, that issue has been argued to death, and will no doubt continue.
Though I\'m not sure what \'blurring\' you are talking about.. Is it the filtering? The smooth look of FSAA? Would you prefer jaggies and shimmering?
-
"No, but instead you get v-sync problems (screen tears from time to time especially when you\'re looking around) and some textures that look like they\'re being processed through a voodoo 2 card. "
Well.....if your talking about how in the "real" movies how you see the black lines sometimes.....i didnt see any of those in MGS2....no wait......wait about Raiden when his cloths are stolen? Does that count? ;) . But if your not talking about that I could be wrong
-
i have WAY too many games
in the last week alone, i picked up wreckless and onimusha genma for xbox, and SOE and Balders Gate for PS2
:eek: :eek:
lately, i beat them with IGN\'s guides just to get thru the storyline and move onto the next game
-
Baulder\'s Gate is pretty good.
-
I must admit thats looking very good so far.......:thepimp: :thepimp:

It looks good imo.Single player RPG? The PC version could be something for me.
