No, it's not another KotOR, which I'm semi-disappointed about, but it is a new Star Wars MMORPG. This game is actually set 300 years after Knights of the Old Republic, but does feature some familiar faces. You'll be able to fight on both sides in this game, as you were able to in KotOR.
So here's the thing. Why now? Why didn't they announce this game way back when they released KotOR II. It was actually in demand then, now the Star Wars hype has died down again, with the exception of The Force Unleashed, which was kind of a let down, to me at least. Yes, it took a different look at Star Wars, and let you be a complete bad ass, but I'm not really into that sort of thing. I want to be a Jedi, I want to fight Darth Vader, or whoever else has control of the Empire, and most of all I want it to be challenging, yet beatable. Is that too much to ask?
I doubt this game will even feature and Emperor, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised. They also better not make this a subscription based game, because there's no way I'm even buying it then. I have better games that don't even cost money. Or I'll pick up a $10 one off Steam. Maybe BioWare will give this game all they have, or maybe they'll piss it away like some other games which I won't mention. Now I'm going to have to go play some KotOR in anticipation.
