Maryokutai Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 And it's a timed exclusive, great. At least that's what I think "it’s a console exclusive on PlayStation 5 at launch." means. They really hate being clear about that stuff. Anyway, good news regardless. Will wait for literally any other version out of spite though, timed exclusivity is such a shitty business model.

Maf Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Apart from thinking that the character in the trailer was Kylo Ren, and it being a very short cinematic trailer with no gameplay. Squeak. Very excited. It’s going to have to be a FF7R style remake though. There’s no amount of graphics that can turn this In to an exciting, big budget game for today’s audience (That screenshot might be the sequel but whatever). They’ve got to totally reimagine it from top to bottom. The only thing that can be recycled is the story. Ahhhhh. Still excited though. This series is what got me in to Star Wars. It’s the best Star Wars product full stop. No movie or game is as good as KotOR 1 and 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That's a game that everyone goes on about but I know nothing about it. I do like a well regarded RPG tho, although, after being a massive star wars fan as a child, I can't fucking stand what it's become. That last trilogy was a disgrace.

Maf Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Just now, bellow said: That last trilogy was a disgrace. Yes but this is not that. C’mon @bellow forum playthrough of KotOR I think they’re on Gamepass let’s go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Whoops they’ve got every Star Wars game on here except the oldest ones lol. Gamepass is a bunch of bullshit I always said this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 They'll put them on now because of the remake. It's always the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 While it's unlikely I'm hoping it's kinda like a Fallen Order follow up with the KotOR story. And for it to have a lot of new story elements but keep the iconic beats everyone associates with it. Its just I'm pretty familiar with the original so a FFVIIR type of deal is what I'd prefer too.

I think this will be the same kind of remake as for example TR Anniversary was. Graphical overhaul but without being too cutting-edge (it's aspyr, they're not the biggest studio), maybe polishing up some aspects (controls etc.) but fundamentally the same thing.

Snaggletooth Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Never played KOTR, so looking forward to get to try it out whenever it releases 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So they had a vertical slice that was received so badly (it seems) that a bunch of people were almost immediately made redundant, and internal dev estimates of project release are 2025, completely out of step with the estimate given to investment partners by the publisher themselves. Speaking of, the publisher hasn't really shipped anything other than mobile ports of existing games, certainly not a full fledged remake of a massive RPG. Aspyr are shopping around looking for a new dev to work on this but this sounds like a sort of 'soft' cancellation right now. The devs were excited about the thing they were going to show Lucasfilm so I wonder why there was such a disagreement with how it turned out.

AndyKurosaki Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Alarm bells were definitely ringing when we’ve heard extremely little about this. I hope they somehow manage to work it out. I don’t give a flying fuck about Last Of Us Part 1, there is absolutely no reason for that game to exist. This on the other hand, is crying out for a Remaster. Guess we will see what happens next.

DisturbedSwan Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 I've never played KoTOR (well, I technically have, for about 30 minutes before giving up lol) so I'm not really fussed either way about this delay (cancellation?). It would've given me a chance to play it finally with all the modern bells and whistles but at the same time, would it of ever been that great given the developer and publisher? I'm not sure. Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Shame about this news as its a really great game that could do with an update, but at the same time at least its still available to play on pc/xbox/mobile iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
