Knights of the Old Republic was Mass Effect before Mass Effect was cool. This is not a "Star Wars" IP as much as it's a BioWare one. They're working with Lucas, but most of it comes from them.
And I really wouldn't want an ME mmo, because it would end up being an FPS. And that's just not my thing. |

I still wouldn't mind an KOTOR (like the first one) running on Mass Effect's engine. I don't care much for MMO's.

I agree that I wouldn't want an FPS MMO, but I don't think that an ME MMO would necessarily be FPS. Between biotics and tech powers, Mass Effect has the framework for the "magic" click powers around which most MMOs revolve. Compared to The Old Republic, which will feature melee/ranged combat plus force powers, I don't see much of a difference beyond the setting.

I have such good memories of KOTOR that I'll probably give SWTOR a shot. I was on direct2drive and saw they were selling KOTOR for like 10 bucks. I almost impulse bought it, but it came out so long ago I'm not sure how into it I could get.

KOTOR is one of the top 10 RPGs of all time IMO. I think I've beat it like six times.
I wish they would make another sequel, but I know it'll never happen. |

I loved KOTOR and bought it again for $1 during a Steam sale last Thanksgiving. I'll give it another shot soon and see how it holds up.

Some news in the last day. Jack Wall will not be scoring Mass Effect 3 (he did the first two for those who don't recognize the name...). However, Clint Mansell will, the fellow who scored a bunch of Darren Aronofsky's films (Pi, Requem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan) as well as a number of others (Smokin' Aces, Moon, etc.).
I'm mixed on this news. On one hand, I think Jack Wall's ME scores are iconic. Sad to see this happen. But on the other hand...it's Clint Mansell... |

It's happening and it's called Star Wars: The Old Republic. Except it's not a sequel, it's like KOTOR made 100 times bigger.

First major ME3 details are hitting, it's the cover story in May's gameinformer. This is all spoiler, obviously, but I'll only tag the stuff that's directly story-related:
Spoiler!
Reading on the BioWare forums, it sounds like they're going to try not to spoil the entire game before release the way that ME2 was basically spoiled by trailers and articles... |

I always thought that the background behind the Illusive Man was Sol?
