No KOTOR For PS2, Darth Vader Playable?

Posted by simoniker on from the deep-and-heavy-breathing dept.

Thanks to IGN PS2 for their second Playstation 2 rumor round-up, including plenty of questionable whisperings (GTA4 is referenced as possibly being called 'Sin City', though this was a notable April Fool's gag), but at least one official confirmation, from Lucasarts, following some online confusion, that "There are no plans for to develop Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for the PS2. We are concentrating fully on the development of the PC version of the game." The rest of the rumor-mongering has at least one intriguing tip, the claim that LucasArts are developing "a third-person perspective action-adventure game [which] enables players to take on the role of Darth Vader."

  1. This was confirmed as Xbox and PC only for a WHILE by analog_line · · Score: 2, Informative

    I hadn't heard any rumors it was being released for anything other than the Xbox and PC for...awhile. Several months at least. Probably just wishful thinking on the part of PS2 owners.

    Me, I'm not even buying it for PC. I have enough RPGs I haven't finished, and I haven't seen any reason why I need to add this to the stack. I've heard nothing but good about it, but it just doesn't matter.

  2. Sin City existed before April 1st by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    Shortly after the release of Vice City, Rockstar announced that the next version of GTA would be called Sin City. Then, months later, someone played an unfunny April Fools joke that said the same thing. Unfortunately, ever since that damned April Fools joke, a Google search only turns up the April Fools info, and it's impossibly frustrating to find any reference to the original statement. And every time someone ignorantly claims that Sin City was just an April Fools joke, it makes it even harder.
