Rumor: KOTOR III Concept Art?

Long the source of many rumors and much speculation, the possibility of KOTOR III being a real project just became a bit clearer. With the rumor mill spinning anew, we bring you latest loose talk, that is, possible KOTOR III concept art. Discovered in a hidden folder on the concept artist's website, the art showcases everything from main characters to droids and ships. Now when we saw that news for the first time, we got excited, thinking this had to be real, that no one can fake good concept art. Well, this stuff is the real deal, but perhaps not in the way we would have wanted. See, it's dated from almost four years ago, in early/mid 2004. Now a quick wiki check reveals that KOTOR II was released in 2005, and that much of that game was left on the cutting room floor to ensure a holiday release. So in all likelihood these concepts are from that game, just never used. Still, it's nice concept art, and we'd love to be proved wrong, as we've said before: Bioware + Mass Effect tech + KOTOR IP = Massive Win.

some of those look better than M.E...but then again... with CGI and concept art...you really don't know until you see something in-engine...

would be nice...but as i've now gotten into the mass effect story I would like them to concentrate on that

*cries* They have concept art of Gladius 2.
I WANT!
Considering this is likely fake (everything's from 2004?), I've been officially bummed out for the day.

Aw man, I got all excited.
Nonetheless, I eagerly await the day KOTOR III becomes a reality.

Maybe, and the chance here is slight, the ship designs, which are clearly from '04 were intended for KOTOR II, and the rest, which have no date on them, are actually for KOTOR III?

I want some closier in the Kotor series. Like this one better have Revan in it with the guy you played as in two at his side.
