"Microsoft has the money, there's no real reason not to."

Having all the money in the world doesn't mean something will be successful so saying that holds very LITTLE weight.

@ troc 59:

You oviously can't read...it says Gamecube not Revolution. Plus how do you know the revmote is horrible...oh thats right...you haven't even used it!

I actually cracked up out load at one when I was at work...it was this one:

Relaunching the system with westernized games isn't going to change everyones minds. Even tho Donutta is being a little on the sarcastic side, it is true that MS seems to think that having handful of japanese developers make 5 games for the system will make it sell.

Sure there is reason to get excited over games created by Hironobu Sakaguchi but when you rely on him a couple others to make games to draw in millions of people from one country, then that is pretty pathetic planning.

But like I said, I can MAYBE see why people would get concerned about this. I mean how often do non-gamers see gold boxes with black question marks on them? But if the authorities go to the length pressing charges then that is pretty pathetic.

"They've ALWAYS had good color"

Being a huge Nintendo fan, I'd have to disagree with that one. The indigo/purple of the Gamecube was not the greatest color choice.

"News alert- old school systems only cost about $10, same with the games"

On what planet dude? I've been re-buying old systems on eBay and in smaller game stores and NONE of the older systems cost $10 for a complete system. You are going to spend AT LEAST $20 and that is on the rare side. Games can easily run you well over $10 as well.

"it didn't use optical media and presented Eidos with either eliminating a big chunk of the attraction (those FMV sequences helped sell the series)"

Despite being fugly as hell...even for that time.

"An interesting take on that Jago, but no, they are simply trying to keep a positive atmosphere on their forums. They don't particularly want their work to be interpreted as an attack on Obsidian."

I actually meant people criticizing Obsidian and not the that team modifying KOTOR 2...but I can see how you could misunderstand what I said. :-)

@ Aikiwoce:

The problem was not with Obsidian doing a half-assed job...the problem (like everyone else has stated) was with LucasArts RUSHING them to get it done. I know 4-5 people who work there (and on that project) and they all acknowledge that they had to rush is b/c of LucasArts..hell I work less then 2 minutes away from them.

Well it's the internet...what do you expect? People who wouldn't normally have the balls to say something like that to your face do all the time.
