you know how doom3 and halo2 have expansions to the game . what if kotor2had that where the locked places have been opened.even the droid faciltiy and maybe even be able to explore the tombs. this will also be conncvted to the first espacailly in naga sadows tomb. this expansion may even put new levels so you can level up more

I can't see that happening but the team-gizka guys at the TSL Restoration Project are effectively doing just that so when they release their finished version it will be like an expansion.

You've read my mind, Chrishalomaster.

I was thinking of an expansion pack for KOTOR 2 too since there's lots of content cut from the game. However, given that its been over a year after KOTOR 2 was released, the idea of an expansion pack might not sound feasible, in my opinion.

well halo2s came almst 1 1/2 years after and doom3 came out 3 days after the release, but ive known games to release expansions 4 years after the release.so maybe and hopefully they will come out with one

all we can do is wait for the TSLRP guys get the stuff done and hope that it completes the game.

Erm..I think those are more to sequels than expansions. Usually, expansions of a game are released within one year after the first game (because they're just expanding on the first game). As for sequels, it takes way longer than that due to the fact that they're creating a totally new game compared to the original, in my opinion. Their development period measure from 1 1/2 years to somewhere 4 years maximum. Sometimes, it could take way longer than that like Half-Life 2's development period of 6 years as an example.

Okay. You've got a point here. I take back what I said previously.

But still, I don't think it will sit well with those who've played KOTOR 2. Its just too little, too late. Wished that Lucasarts haven't rushed the game.

oh. well thats fine for me as i dont even have an XBox. the only game console i have is my computer. and my dads old Atari.

correct me if im wrong, but doesnt the XBox connect to the internet if you have XBox live or something? so couldnt you download it or whatever?

thats where the problem begins. when i modded my xbox i kinda took that functionality out. id actually have to manually put it into my xbox which the program i installed was hard enuf that would be even harder...but i could try on my other xbox at my moms house...i didnt mod that onme but i dont have the needs to put xbox live on it yet(also id have to bring kotor 2 to my moms)

I've said this many times already at different threads that the video is NOT KOTOR 3. Its a tech demo by Lucasarts to demonstrate Pixelux's Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) system and Euphoria's Biomechanical AI. Period.

EDIT: Forgot to add some sentences.

The interview on G4tv, is it? Well, I've read IGN's interview about that tech demo and I don't recall them ever mentioning a KOTOR 3 there. All they said is that they have plans to turn that tech demo into a game.

Considering the endings of this game, I think we're all used to it.
