Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Check out the box art for Soul Calibur IV. I have no idea who any of those other folks are, but you should be able to spot two familiar faces – Yoda on Xbox, Vader on Playstation.
Look for the game in June.
Just what you wanted for morning, right? Well, real or fabrication, Game Set Watch found a Gamasutra comment from that may (or may not) shed some light on Jim Ward’s departure last month.
Adam Rodgers explores the concept that all geek springs from D&D at the NYT. As a concept it’s hit-or-miss, but the diagram is funny.
New evidence that there may be another Knights of the Old Republic game: 1UP has a ‘tipster’ with portions of a script. LucasArts has no comment. Whatever, dude. This game doesn’t even officially exist yet and I’m already sick of it.
Who has played an RPG (Role-Playing Game) in their life? If you’re one of the geek-minded subculture of gamers, then the answer is most of you. Today, the co-creator of the grandfather of all role-playing games, Gary Gygax, died at his home in Lake Geneva, WI, the origin site of GenCon. The article I saw it at is here, as reported by SlashDot.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Gygax. Your contribution to entertainment and leisure time has provided countless hours, days, even months of fun, learning, and opportunities to grow in many lives, for many years.
Remember the supposed ‘KOTOR III’ images? Here’s what artist James Zhang told EUCantina:
“I’ve never used photobucket — those images were swiped off a private folder on my website, and certainly weren’t intended for public use.”
and
“I can’t really comment on anything regarding the images.”
I’ve been hearing some rumblings – nothing verifiable, and quite possibly simple fan speculation – that a KOTOR III was at one point being considered, but was dropped/postponed for The Force Unleashed, something a lot of the GDC stories last week support. I wouldn’t give up hope for future installments, but don’t certainly lose sleep over it.
StarWars.com celebrates the Celebration Japan announcement with a ‘Star Wars‘ in Japan checklist, a comparison of manga and American comic adaptions, and ten items they beat us to.
CVG is reporting that these mysterious images by artist James Zhang are concept art for KOTOR III. Can’t say I’m entirely convinced, but I’m always happy to see some pretty pictures.
