Aftrunner Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am ok with this. Lets face it, Bioware will be terrified of doing another Tortanic so most likely we will get another KotoR. And Dice and Visceral are both solid developers. Hopefully we get good games out of this. Can I have Republic Command 2 please? Good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Raven Soft did the last iteration of the Jedi Knight games, they are the best bet in my opinion. they did solid work, but I also want to see some new spin in the whole starwars jedi knight series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 they did solid work, but I also want to see some new spin in the whole starwars jedi knight series Who would you like to see in their stead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Who would you like to see in their stead? The guys from 38 Studios (Kingdom of Amalur). Kingdom of Amalur have the right mix of action of RPG, the game work so seamlessly in both gamepad and keyboard that just playing the is so much of fun. The only thing I don't like of KOA is the art style, give me gritty witcher like art style with KOA gameplay in the jedi knight series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
