Star Wars KOTOR - PC Version, Sequel Rumors

Thanks to IGN PC for their hands-on preview of the PC version of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, which is currently due to ship on the 18th November. Apart from increased game resolution (up to 1600x1200) and texture detail, "about thirty new items will be added to the game, including two new lightsaber types", and "the space station around Yavin (from the first film) is a new locale" for this conversion of BioWare's immensely popular Xbox RPG. GameSpot also has a brief preview of the PC version, and elsewhere, IGN Xbox has an interesting, but very unconfirmed rumor that a sequel to KOTOR "...is not being developed internally at BioWare, but in Orange County at Obsidian Entertainment", the Black Isle-rich company who recently announced a co-development deal with the KOTOR creators.

Something worth mentioning, and hinted at in the articles, is that the extra in-game items (and other new content?) _MIGHT_ be coming to Xbox consumers over Xbox Live. And since it's quite possible that DaveCBio works for BioWare, well.. he might know what he's talking about, I guess. Worth watching out for.
