Guest JaseP Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 According to Derek French, the Assistant Producer of Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic, there is no Linux port planned: There are no plans for a Linux version of KotOR. Any decisions along these lines are completly up to our publishing partner, Lucasarts._________________ Derek French Producer, Live Team "Its time to get your RPG on." I'm very disappointed. I guess all we can hope for for now is WineX being able to run it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 we knew this a long time ago, my friend ;-) you know, since KotOR is going to be on XBox, do you think MS would allow a Linux port? seriously.... :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 It's not M$'s decision. It's a LucasArts property. They can dictate terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 It's not M$'s decision. It's a LucasArts property. They can dictate terms. hmm...think about it. LA: we're porting to Linux MS: then we don't want your game, we won't support it, we won't pay you that $xxxxxxxxxxxx, and we'll make sure any games you put out won't work on our system. LA: we're not porting to Linux MS: damn right, b*tch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Actually, it is a part of the Microsoft contract that they signed. They said so in the #openknights channel many many many months ago when we asked them about it... So, here's hoping they forget about the Xbox for all future games.

VeeDubb Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I have recently realized a few things. 1. While most games are better on PC, my life is simpler if I just get them for a console and use the PC for important things. 2. The slightly better graphics on a PC just don't make up for the ability to throw any game in the drive and know it will work instantly. (personal preference, and it helps to have an Xbox) 3. While I hate MS< the Xbox kicks the crap out of the competition in every single concievable category with the one exception of game selection. Just some stuff to think about.

ShadowFoxLSU Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Just be glad we got the Neverwinter Nights port.... It's a great game. SW:KOTOR..... it's an ok game, but personally, I think NWN is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 If the game is anything like everquest i would be very happy not to play it, so i will survive. it's nothing like EQ, it's not a MMORPG. The star wars MMORPG is being made by sony...it's called Star Wars: Galaxies (and it sucked, atleast from the beta-and i don't mean 'cuz it was buggy, it was just plan bad...).

DOlson Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I tried the StarWars game on Xbox, and it's nothing to get upset over, tha's for sure. No offence to BioWare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Compared to NWN, how was it??? Better, more of same, just same as but with Star Wars theme??? C'mon spill your guts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Honestly, it's quite different, and I didn't like it. I didn't play it for very long, and it would likely be easier/better to play with a mouse, but from what I saw, I'm not losing any sleep over it. I just hope that the next non-Xbox project BioWare does will hit Linux. I have a feeling it won't, but I can hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
