Dungeon Keeper was fun.. DK2 was great I spent countless hours designing and building dungeons... but most likely they&amp;#39;ll have a limited time schedule.. will get pressured by EA.. and release a subpar game with expensive updates.. or there is a 10% chance they could do it.. but I&amp;#39;m not gonna bet that they would get it right.&lt;/p&gt;

Westwood... The company that made the original and made it best?  Gone.  The new games are merely passable and won&amp;#39;t contend with SC2 or even the Warhammer games.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ll give you factual information!  Give me the names of the companies EA has bought out and I&amp;#39;ll show you their crap products since the acquisition.  Maxis?  The Sims games are continually turned out and change absolutely nothing.  Hope for Spore?  Hmmm...  We&amp;#39;ll see, Will may have gotten his hands on something he can work with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DICE?  Battlefield series was amazing.  They developed BF2 as they were being bought, put it out and its stupendous.  What happened when they were purchased?  BF2142, a game clearly less than its predecessors so much so they never got a fan base and BF2 is still their game.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bioware?  While a good game, Mass Effect was clearly rushed out the door before it was made to the specs a Bioware game normally has.  If you&amp;#39;ve played any of their games previous, you know exactly what I mean by this.  A bunch of repetative &amp;quot;dungeons&amp;quot; with a mocked up storyline to make it seem fleshed is NOT their way of working.  We haven&amp;#39;t seen anything else from them since the EA situation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take Two is so against the idea, theres rumors they&amp;#39;ve done what crazy business men call a Poison pill, making it a complete waste of time to go after them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;EA is not a good company.  Ask me about other companies, and I&amp;#39;ll say very different things too.  I&amp;#39;m not just against big business.  EA is *** because they buy IP and make *** and don&amp;#39;t care how it sells as long as they make profit.  Nowadays in the VG market, its almost impossible to NOT make money on regular games (MMO&amp;#39;s being an exception to this rule).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe I haven&amp;#39;t changed your mind on EA, but I did provide you with at least SOME information on numbers and how the purchased IP&amp;#39;s never size up to anything more than Passable, and normally SHEISSE.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*edit* Oh oh! Remember Hellgate:London? :-D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://aoc-de.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=16321" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>KotOR 3 - To be MMO!</title><link>http://aoc-de.curse.com/blogs/electronic-arts-inc-en-news/archive/2008/09/17/N11915Id.aspx#18419</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:07:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:18419</guid><dc:creator>DarthMeatloaf</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;....&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YES.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://aoc-de.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18419" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>KotOR 3 - To be MMO!</title><link>http://aoc-de.curse.com/blogs/electronic-arts-inc-en-news/archive/2008/09/17/N11915Id.aspx#18418</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:07:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:18418</guid><dc:creator>Crusnik02</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s not going to beat WoW.  WoW has too many casual players who don&amp;#39;t give a damn about their lore.  A large majority of the players on KOTOR will be avid Star Wars fans.  World of Warcraft has just enough lore space to make people think they&amp;#39;re playing a run-of-the-mill fantasy game.  More than likely the Star Wars MMO is going to be pretty hardcore, and if not, the players will make it feel hardcore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is going to fall under a Final Fantasy 11 status, where people who like FF, play FF.  And people who like SW, will play SW.  Granted I can bet it&amp;#39;ll be better than FF11, but in no way will it come near WoW.  And that&amp;#39;s not from a player&amp;#39;s perspective...it&amp;#39;s from a logical perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://aoc-de.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18418" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>KotOR 3 - To be MMO!</title><link>http://aoc-de.curse.com/blogs/electronic-arts-inc-en-news/archive/2008/09/17/N11915Id.aspx#18417</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:07:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:18417</guid><dc:creator>Nosmo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;wow im there&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://aoc-de.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18417" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>KotOR 3 - To be MMO!</title><link>http://aoc-de.curse.com/blogs/electronic-arts-inc-en-news/archive/2008/09/17/N11915Id.aspx#18416</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:07:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:18416</guid><dc:creator>Painkiller68</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;YES! the KOTOR series has been hidden FOREVER. Although WoW has a huge base of casual players, Star wars does indeed have the fans it needs. But, you&amp;#39;re right, most players play WoW for the gameplay...very few pay attention to the lore of the game. Very few look at the lore, even though it is incredibly well implemented and it all fits in together as one big picture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Either way, hooray for the Kotor series to come out of hiding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://aoc-de.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18416" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
