Watch this video from gametrailers...
Gametrailers.com - Invisible Walls - Episode 17
At about 1 minute 45 seconds it mentions Bioware has a "surprise." Any thoughts on this? I don't mean to get anybody's or my hopes up as it could be anything.

I think it's about "Dragon Age" not a new Kotor.

The thing is Dragon Age isn't a surprise since everyone already knows about it. They'll most likely announce what the project between themselves and lucasarts is.

Can we put to rest what game gametrailers meant... being a day has gone by or is about too of E3? If anybody figures out what Bioware game was meant in that video please tell.

Wow, I didn't see that thanks for pointing that out. I guess there is still hope. 10 am tomorrow (whatever time zone that is) Real soon we'll figure out.

According to Joystiq.com, the website that has been covering E3, bioware and lucasarts have announced that the next KOTOR is in fact going to be an MMO. If you don't believe me just head to Joystiq and look for it.

Per E3 2008: EA CEO confirms KOTOR MMO - PC News at GameSpot

KotOR III is to be a MMORPG.

Darn.

As I mentioned on the other thread, if it's a MMO it isn't KOTOR III IMO, so I won't buy it.,

Ditto. I like CRPG's... I'm not fond of MMO games.

Hang on. As far as I can see, all that is "revealed" about it being K3 is this:

"And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about in partnership with Lucas [Arts is] coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry." When contacted by GameSpot, BioWare reps declined to comment further.

That doesn't say it's K3 specifically. The rest of the article is speculation on the writer's behalf.

But correct me if I'm wrong. I might just be grasping at straws in desparation at the prospect of an MMORPG...

hmmm, bioware is making an online Star Wars game with LucasArts. Sounds like KOTOR 3 to me.

I think it's pretty definite:

[QUOTE=Slashdot]Today, as E3 2008 wound down, the fog hanging around BioWare's MMORPG appears to have dissipated. Less than 72 hours after presiding over EA's own press event--where the project was nowhere to be found--CEO John Riccitiello almost casually revealed the MMORPG in question is a sequel of sorts to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," Riccitiello told Conde Nast Portfolio magazine. "The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about in partnership with Lucas [Arts is] coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry." When contacted by GameSpot, BioWare reps declined to comment further.

BioWare's first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game was released in 2003 for the original Xbox and PC, and was named the year's top RPG by GameSpot. An Obsidian Entertainment-developed sequel was released in 2004 and 2005 on the same two respective platforms. Both critically acclaimed games are set several thousand years before the events of the Star Wars films, and cast players as adventurers who eventually become powerful Jedi Knights.

Currently, the Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG is set for release sometime in 2009. Once it launches, it is unclear what will happen to LucasArts' current massively multiplayer title, the Sony Online Entertainment-developed Star Wars Galaxies. [/QUOTE]

I know I'm being a bit dramatic, but I can only think of this quote for whoever had the idea of making KotOR a MMO:
