To some the Xbox is remembered as having a short life span, few rpgs, and no support in Japan. To gamers the Xbox should be remembered as popularizing online gaming for consoles, for mainstreaming FPS games onto consoles, and having great games like the Halo series, Forza, and KOTR I and II.
"So, it seems that the game will still initially need to sync with Origin while installing, based on the phrasing of the last paragraph. That is the same for Steam but where the two differ is in the delivery of patches and updates. When Steam is running it is able to access updates but without connecting through them games will not update themselves. Generally though, the two seem to be analogous and it remains to be seen how else EA may try to break Origin free from the pack."
Even though the worldwide economy is slowly returning to form, the video game industry is still getting hit hard. Today, one of the best developers announces some unfortunate news. Check out the story.
The video game scene has been flooded with sequel after sequel. Yet, developers have failed to bring us the next installment to some of our favorite games. Check out our list of seven games we are dying to play. Cheers!
The Knights of the Old Republic games have delighted (and frustrated) both fans and non-fans of Star Wars. The first game set a new standard for RPGs, and for fans of the Star Wars saga it gave everyone a broader glimpse at the galaxy far, far away. The problem being KOTOR II's ending left so many of us disappointed and filled with unanswered questions. Questions many fans assumed would be answered in an inevitable KOTOR III.
"Unfortunately, this type of sequel success isn’t always a given. Even some of the biggest franchises out there have stumbled on their second tries, leaving a plethora of heartbroken fans in the wake of an either flawed or drastically different than expected sequel. As testament to this all too common phenomenon, here are five of the most notable examples of sequels throughout the years bearing the number 2, or the significantly more stylish Roman numeral II, that sadly couldn’t manage to li..."
"Dragon Age: Origins is the biggest singleplayer role-playing game release of the season. It's also the only big-budget singleplayer RPG coming out this season. The RPG is one of the oldest genres in gaming, but big releases are becoming rarer each year.
We examine the state of the big-budget single-player RPG with a group of RPG developers. Each comes from a different facet of the market. Is it dying? Are the tastes of RPG gamers changing? What role do MMOs, consoles, and handhelds play? I..."
Although Knights of the Old Republic 2 has been out for about four years now, but ever since it's rushed release for the 2005 holiday season, the game has been incomplete. A mod to restore the available elements that were cut from the finished game has recently been released for beta testing, and we're interested to see if it can improve a much maligned game.
"RM: From our perspective, now we get to play the games and just really enjoy them as consumers, and offer feedback from that perspective, at the early start of the ideation phase. We say, "What's our audience excited by? What's our aspirational fantasy? What are solving for here? What goals are we setting up for this project?" Then the team goes and they work on that. We play it throughout the process and give feedback whether the team's meeting the goals that they set out at the start of the..."
At the last E3, rumors were going around that game developers LucasArts and BioWare would be working together on a Knights Of The Old Republic MMO. Nothing has been confirmed about the KOTOR MMO, but on October 21, the developers will announce their joint project.
"This news is hot off the Austin GDC floor so grab it while it's hot, readers. Obsidian Entertainment (developers for Knights of the Old Republic 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Alpha Protocol) are hard at work on an RPG using the Aliens license. The game is being written by the writer of Icewind Dale 2, among other games, and the tile will see a full unveiling later this year."
EA has commented on the titles listed in the attached image, stating that the list "addresses future and past titles. KOTOR, Black, Boogie, Skate and some other titles on the slide speak to past portfolio releases and the pedigree of the studio but do not specifically address future sequels"
Games like Burnout and Skate have been revealed to be receiving sequels though, so not all hope is lost.

"EA has seemingly revealed that BioWare is developing a new Knights Of The Old Republic game in their analysts report yesterday. This is something that has been rumored for quite some time, most recently with rumor reports speculating it to be an MMO. But, as you can see in the image above, KOTOR is marked separate from its new MMO title, which hints that we may be getting a normal RPG done in the same style as the first two games. This is good news for those like me, who want a fully realized..."
