Star Wars: KotoR

Yes! Today Bioware unveiled Star Wars: Knights of the Old republic. Why is that good? That's good because Bioware rocks!

it uses a brand-new 3D engine with a floating camera instead of a 2D tile-based engine with an isometric perspective. The game takes place approximately 4,000 years before the Star Wars movies. However, space travel still exists, and the universe is still very technologically advanced. You'll traverse worlds like Tatooine, which will look very familiar to you and yet contain enough subtle cues to remind you that these are ancient times.

Correct!

All 3D games do look like ASS, detail wise in comparison to 2D.

The primary reason I bitch about Star Wars RPG being ASS is because it COULD have been richly created in 2D.

Bioware's TORN 3D engine looks like ASS as does Neverwinternights.

The 2D engine with pre-renders could have pretty damn amazing for a Star Wars game.. what a waste.

First person who says "Yeah, but MDK2 sucked" gets my foot shoved deeply in their ass. Not that it didn't suck on certain levels, but still. Shure was purdy.

Yeah, it should be 'kick ass' game, but that's the way they all seem when they're first announced. Was there even one good Star Wars game produced? Dark Knight or whatever it was, the fps, was decent but not great. As I can recall, every other attempt was horrible. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.
