Star Wars - Knights of The Old Republic PC Gold!

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the games-people-play dept.

Cobol Junky writes "After many months of development, the PC version of Star Wars:Knights Of The Old Republic has finally been finished. KOTOR for the Xbox has been a huge success, and the PC version will most definitely do just as well. Expect it to be on store shelves Tuesday, November 18th." This was among my favorite Xbox titles to date. I'll probably snag a copy just to replay it on the light side, and at high res.

  1. About time... by Evanrude · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I played the Xbox version and it was a fantastic experience!
    I've been a huge fan of BioWare for their Neverwinter Nights game. The fact that it has a Linux client was a huge selling point. I hope KOTOR for the PC has a Linux client as well.

    New Space Station trading post, new weapons, new creatures!

  3. Meh by PktLoss · · Score: 3, Funny

    I played the x-box version for all of five minutes, then stuck it at the bottom of the pile, just above Blood Wake, never to be played again.

    It just didnt catch my eye. As such a PC convert will be even less attractive.

    Man, who's that stacked jedi chick on the lucasarts page? I'd sure like to "feel her dark side"!

    Man, Taco, if it's taking you this long to finish "Enter the Matrix", how did you ever have time to play through KOTOR?

    We may have to wait, but when we get it, we can point and laugh and say "XBox was just the beta test for the PC version":)

  7. Checked the size of the game yet? by dzym · · Score: 4, Interesting
    KOTOR PC requirements are stated as 4.0 GB of free space.

    To put that into perspective, NWN plus its expansion pack, which comes on 4 CDs total, installs only to about 2.6 GB. This likely means that KOTOR will come on something like 6 CDs.

    I wish somebody would have the balls to start releasing these games on DVDs.

      They do - just for Xbox and PS2. :D

  8. strange? by deus_X_machina · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does anyone find it strange how little hype KOTOR has been getting? I only own a PS2 and a PC... I had actually considered getting an X-Box just to play it. About two weeks ago I was in EB and I asked one of the sales people when it was coming out for PC, and he said "oh, that's just an internet rumor...". I asked if he could double check for me, and to his surprise he said it was coming out in November. It's not even on the front of EB Games Website.

    I'm frankly very shocked that such a highly critically acclaimed game, initially viewed as being X-Box exclusive, is receiving so little advertising this close to it's ship date. With so many quality games released this month, I'm baffled. Star Wars games usually sell okay just because of the name, let alone ones that have been this well received.

      Because it is one of the xbox's best games and will most likely still sell a lot more copies.

      Once word gets out that you no longer have to buy an xbox to play it or that a better version is coming out for the pc, people won't buy the xbox version.
