Obsidian working on 3 unannounced projects, including KotOR3
   

I've avoided the recent rumours on Obsidian and Star Wars: KotOR 3 but with some new job listings and coverage on multiple sites, it seems worth raising.
<br>
<br>The most important piece of information and the only thing that could be called factual is several job vacancies on offer at <a href="http://www.creativeheads.net/Jobs.aspx?CompanyID=9500" target="_blank">CreativeHeads</a>. While it may just be a trick of the wording, the job positions could be interpreted as three separate unannounced projects. Sifting through the positions, there are entries for an "Unannounced - 3rd Person, ACTION, RPG" on PC/PS3/XBox360, an "Unannounced - RPG" for PC/PS3/XBox360 and "Unannounced - 3rd Person, ADVENTURE, RPG" for PS3/Xbox 360 (no PC listed).
<br>
<br>Obsidian has publically acknowledged Project New Jersey (<a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10077&newsid=37047" target="_blank">story</a>), with Producer John Morgan saying:
<br><blockquote><em>Obsidian Entertainment is indeed working on a third project. All I can really say is that it's in a state of pre-production at the moment and it is not a Bioware license.[...]
<br>
<br>It's not a sequel </em></blockquote>Feargus Urquhart subsequently described Project New Jersey as "not exactly an original IP or specifically a license. Lets say that it's something that is inspired by a license"
<br>
<br>It's hard not to link the apparent new evidence that there is at least one - and possibly two - *additional* projects with recent persistent but completely unproven rumours of KotOR3. Among others are claims or comments from <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/680/680220p1.html" target="_blank">IGN</a>, <a href="http://news.gaminghorizon.com/media2/1137523091.3182.html" target="_blank">Gaming Horizon</a> and an unofficial Xbox magazine all hearing rumours or taking guesses that KotOR3 is in development at Obsidian.
<br>
<br>Decide for yourself but beware the flimsy evidence - although it seems there's *something* new afoot at Obsidian, perhaps not surprisingly given that Feargus told <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/666/666403p3.html" target="_blank">PC.IGN</a> they expected to have 110-115 staff working on 3 projects by the end of the year. Let's see what the eventual announcements bring...

It's not a sequel


Spiritual sequel to Planescape

Well if Obsidian is indeed making Kotor 3 (which I doubt), l hope they'll get a decent time schedule this time around. 1 year is simply not enough and if Obsidian doesn't want to be known as the King of Bugs and Unfinished Endings, then they need at least 2 or 3 years on such a project. But if they get a decent time schedule, then I'm certain they'll do a terrific job with Kotor 3.
