No, it was literally just announced today that they were making it, even though rumor has been spreading for a while. Go here to watch an interview with the people in charge of this game.

eh it looks cool, and i am glad that they are now kinda explaining that whole "true sith " thing that seemed to loom over the whole KOTOR series.
BUT, id really rather that they make another KOTOR game for the Xbox 360. I have never been into the MMO's, so i am kinda disappointed that they decided to go this route.

i got the email for this from bioware yesterday and almost had a heart attack.
FINALLY the void that SWG left in my life will be filled. WoW is fun, but you cant touch the Star Wars franchise.
And I have to put my vote in for MMO>a KOTOR 3.
i will be keeping a close eye on this. I would like to see us all (who are interested in playing) play together on this.
Who's with me?

sounds like it will be like World of Warcraft. You buy the game then pay a monthly subscription.

Hey a high school senior has to have fun and this game will help with it. Wow first Force Unleashed and now this. This looks to be game that I am more then willing to play on whatever platform it comes on. The Old Republic is considered to be a favorite of mine in star wars. I am actually going all out into looking into this game if they do come with it. YAY!!!!!

Well I just hope that the screenshots I had a look at are just early designs instead of the permanent deal. I don't wanna run around as a Sith and end up looking like something out of Warner Bros. gone bad.

So true on that part; if they can make the Force Unleashed with great graphics there is no doubt that they can make this game like that.

remeber this game was only accounced a matter of DAYS ago. Yes, those screenshots are just early ones. They have a running version of the game up, just for use in testing things.
This is Bioware we're talking about, have they ever really dissappointed in their games? Mass Effect- Awesome, KOTOR I- Awesome, Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate- classics.
Its in good hands. Have faith. I'm willing to bet that those sabers (which look like the Lego sabers to me) are just models being used to fill in while the art is being worked on for an improved one.
I've looked at all the screenshots on the official site, I still don't understand why people complain about the look of the game, you can't have an offline games graphics for an MMO, its just too much information to process while trying to keep up with what everyone else is doing. Minus the look of the weapons, if the graphics stays just like they are in the pics, but they nailed storyline and gameplay, I'll be more than satisfied.
But I think with Biowares standards in games, the graphics will become more refined as the days go by. Maybe they'll figure out a way to make it look as good as Mass Effect, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Looking forward to the gameplay, regardless of the graphics.
