BioWare unveils Texas MMORPG studio

Doesn't Blizzard still have a secret project in the works? I think their own WoW successor is right in the shadows and we will all be surprised...

I personally would not enjoy a KotOR MMO (I don't enjoy any MMOs). For two one of KotORs main selling points were: - You controlled what happened - The plot An MMO would not be able to reproduce either of these qualities. That being said, it's Bioware so no doubt, it'll be good.

Not my type of game anyway.

I say KoTOR3 incoming~!

I see a Gravestone for WoW engraved R.I.P.W.N.E.D

KOTOR (Y), I'd love it as it was.

I would rather play KoTOR 3 than KoTOR MMO :(

I am going to make this real short. I absolutely love KOTOR but I hate MMO games. I think they are stupid. Bring on KOTOR-3.

Here's a page with more information about the MMO.

Bioware, RPG, MMO. This can mean only one thing. Awesome.

gears 2 might beat halo 3 but not gears 1

halo 3 beats gears by 10 times to me anyway but gears does beat halo 2 online

i dont think the ps3 will ever get better games than the 360 all their good exclusives lik gta iv and assassins creed are comin 2 the 360

i think gears of war will be able to beat evryone favourite shooter which is halo 3

this, should be nice, hopefully the 360 will get some of this pie. I have played KOTOR, and jade empire, and both were really fun to play, and I can't wait for mass effect. I think that if anyone is to unseat blizzard , and take a big piece of the MMORPG market, it would be bioware, because all of their games are immersive, and just from playing some of them, and how mass effect is shaping up. these guys are on fire.

DELTAsnake who plays SWG anymore? lmao

sweet can't wait to see what happen's

I will be looking foward to the MMORPG since we all can rely on BIoWare to make a juggernaut of a rpg. Hopefully they will be working with LucasArts on SW:G. Of course I won't get my hopes up or too low. If they do it than we can all happly say "Good-bye" To Sw:G and "Hello" to one of the best SW games ever.

nice

Awesome! I work in downtown Austin right now. I know where I will be looking for a job!

Some of you are just plain negative..Bio-ware has had great success so I applaud their efforts to giving us another choice in this genre. To all you negative thinkers you'll never amount to anything in life with YOUR attitude. You should always keep trying new things (even if it fails) as long as you don't give up you're bound to succeed.

bioware makes some great stuff, this'll be interesting for sure

if its from Bioware, then its bound to be good. at least i hope so....

since bioware and pandemic are technically the same company now, isnt this studio both of theirs?

The Baldur's Gate PC series were classic in my opinion. Fallout 1 and 2 were both sweet. The two KOTOR games were both sweet. Jade Empire was nice. Icewind Dale and Neverwinter's Night wasn't bad either. All I can say is whatever it is they doing it will be sweet... I'll wait and see.

The MMO market looks saturated right now, everyone wants a piece of the MMO pie these days.

I would love to have a KOTOR mmo, I would jump ship from SWG in an instant if Bio could make that.

BIO-YEAAAH!

Cant wait.

BIOWARE LOVES 360. No Love for Ps3. Stfu ->

Thakingk05: "I hate mmorpg's they are boring and time consuming." I agree with you 100%

MMORPG? No thanks...

WHOA..cool gameing empire in texas...nice... its good to know that this state...cause i live here...is worth something to the gameing world...LOL..

Just another reason i love my hometown, Austin is where its at people

LOL do not kid yourself Sigma8. Blizzard is a corporation and as such they are around for only one reason... to make money. They are a part of Vivendi and beleive me if they did not make mony V would shut Blizzard down in a heart beat. That is just the way of business. Now maybe that was true of Blizzard back during the day of Warcraft (yes the first one) but no longer. It is all bottom line. If they REALLY wanted to make a really good game they would not have released it in such a horrible state. Hour long queues to get on to a server. Constant crashes, etc. It was one of the worst cases of a game rushed out by suits to cash in on a buck since Battlecruiser 3000

One thing thats good with this is that Bioware has another studio doing it. They can still create their great single player games WITH A STORY for the ones who want them. MMO's take up a lot of realestate.

Since Blizzard is the _only_ company so far that seems to have released an MMORPG out of (initially) a desire to make a really good MMORPG versus a desire to make a lot of money, I don't think there will be any viable alternatives until another round of wannabes throw themselves onto the spikes of fiscal death... Leaving the businesspeople confused and bewildered why their product didn't make them mega moneys. And before anyone mentions it, Guild Wars doesn't count, since it's neither a traditional MMORPG, nor do you pay monthly. :-P

Cool to think I could move home to Austin to work in games.

Sick!

^__^ I'm getting my copy of ES4 in 1.5 weeks! Btw, I love D&D, it's sad becaue you can't see a joke! ^___^ Just wondering, what was the last D&D or American RPG to sell as much as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest? When was the last time an American company made $225,000,000 in a single hour just from preorders? Square did...^__^ and they will again with Final Fantasy XII in 3 days, well 2 days if you live in Japan!

Quote- Kaos-Angel Wow, now I can't wait to see a KOTOR MMO...NOT! Bioware will fail when Square Enix shows off how to make a real RPG and MMO with Final Fantasy XII and Fantasy Earth! Western RPGs just plain suck. First btw... __________________________________________________________ Way to show off your extensive gaming knowledge kid Square really rocked the MMORPG world with ther last attempt huh?Cause we all know that Square didn't borrow form things like D&D PnP(the first RPG ever and was invented in the USA),..or the Ultima series,.or Wizardry,..or Might and Magic,..or Bards Tale,..should I keep going?Should I point out that by the defination RPG Squares games are weak.True RPG's are about freedom to play your character as you see fit and as you wish to play them,...nope sorry they don't hold your hand and guide you on a predetermined path as Jap so called RPG's do.They involve player thought and creativity.And they don't have tp have spectacular,..look at me mainstreamers I look cool and got a whole lotta style graphics niether. Play NWN on a mod sever,..play Morrowind,..or Oblivian,...play the old Ultimas, and oh yeah then your opinion will actually mean something Anyhow now then you've been taken to school junior maybe your should go get your mommy to give your lunch money

If BioWare is making it it most likely will turn out real nice and fine.

I just hope they work on a Jade Empire II.

I wonder if it is going to be good

360 will be getting it, so I'm not worried.

Good things never came out of Gordon Walton being involved...

Since I currently own two of Bioware games and I loved them both so im hoping this game will be as good. Also im hoping for this game to come out on the 360 as well.

Yay :D.
