A damn shame. KOTOR 1 & 2 are still, IMHO, one of the greatest Star Wars stories/experiences. I’d really love for something to revisit the time period.
Not a shame, imo. Any remake would ruin it by changing things, I’m glad this has happened as you are right that the games are the best star wars stories. They’re also my favourite games in general, especially TSL.
I have no idea why you think that, it’d make it much better. The environments, the characters, the cutscenes will all be much better in a remake.
No, I doubt it. Because they wouldn’t keep it true to the originals. They’d change the characters and the story and cut out sections and add in new things and replace the combat and make it fundamentally not the same game anymore. Especially when it’s not being made by the original makers.
Also, graphics aren’t a selling point for me in games.
Why would they have to do that
Why do you assume they’d change anything besides modern QoL stuff like that
Where are all of these assumptions coming from that they have to change stuff?
Even if the remake was worse in every way, why would it matter when you can still buy and play the originals without any issue? The KOTOR games are some of my favorite video games so I can understand not liking a remaking that (hypothetically) changes some things, but I don’t know why it’d be a positive to not get a new version of it that might have gotten more people interested in the originals.
We knew this was happening a long time ago though. This is probably just Sony making it “official” in an unofficial way. This project has been dead for ages since the dev team was pulled off it long ago.
It was given to another team, but obviously radio silence ever since.
Part of me is wondering if the success of Baldur’s Gate has impacted the approach to it at all, given it falls roughly in the same genre space.
Embracer’s financials probably impacting it more, though.
Sony clarified that this is because of them losing the license rights to the music in the trailer.
Honestly i just play the originals. I don’t need a remake
I do. The originals were locked behind an anti-consumer EULA once Disney got ahold of them. Since I won’t agree to their EULA, I was holding out hope for the remake.
I’m not sure if id trust the remake to have a more reasonable EULA tbh, and frankly with the originals if you want to play and don’t like the EULA i’d say pirate it, KOTOR is 20 years old now at this point.
What was special about the eula?
It contains an arbitration clause. Arbitration clauses are evil. No one should ever agree to them.
Please no 😭
Good.
