I don’t really want a remake. I would enjoy a kotor3 that was the same quality as Baldur’s gate 3, though.
Kotoe 3 by larian would slap my whole ass.
Your comment reminds me of how Amber Ruffin says she would “watch the butt off that” for a show she likes.
This game is going to make a ton of money if it ever comes out. Canceling this was stupid.
Disney: Yes there is a lot of demand for this game but the reality is it was made in a different era in gaming. There’s just no way for us to turn this into a live service or aggressively monetise it through microtransactions or battlepasses so our hands are tied.

Don’t underestimate a capitalist’s creativity when it comes to rent seeking schemes.
Also Disney: Sorry,
money-cowsfans, but we do not understand what is this “quality” thing you speak of. Our panel of highly skilled market analysts fail to identify any correlation between it and higher profits, so we ignore it.There’s just no way for us to turn this into a live service or aggressively monetise it through microtransactions or battlepasses so our hands are tied.
The irony is that they already have a game that allows for all that predatory shit, The Old Republic MMORPG.
Remakes are nice but what about new Star Wars games? First person shooters, soulslike, roguelike, realtime strategy, 4X, flightsim, survival, city builders. A new Battlefront not by Dice/EA.
But what about my inability to let go?? I want to play the same game FOREVER because I loved it as a kid! Remake remake remake!
New Rogue Squadron games ….
I love Star Wars for its stories, but I don’t think a SW reskin is that interesting. There are a few places where I could see it maybe working because the SW setting could justify additional gameplay elements (city - > star system builders with a heavy automation and trade components, sekiro-like).
Instead we need SW games that tell their own stories well in a modern format. That does not mean a KOTOR remake. The bioware format had its time, but a remake in the same style is going to feel dated by the time it comes out.
For some reason I don’t trust new Star Wars products to be good anymore with how much the tv/movies were a let down the longer it ran. And everything is afraid to not tie into the original trilogy.
So it’s one of those cases where I would prefer a remake.
I’ve found that I tend to agree, and I’ve only come to this conclusion relatively recently.
And looking back, with hindsight (and I’ll probably get downvoted for it), even the original trilogy wasn’t that great when you take off the nostalgia goggles.
I’m not a fan of star wars, but I liked kotor 1 & 2. I’d probably play a kotor 3, but not a remake. I have no interest in anything tied in with the movies, make a new story with new characters, I don’t care about luke or darth vader.
Fuck it Disney. This is what I wanted the next Star Wars trilogy to be based on. Not whatever Skywalker trash your writers vomit up again in your creative meetings.
Is it a “We hear you and are discussing internally” or a “Yeah, we hear you, so what?” type of vibe?
I’m sure they discussed it internally. It went something like this:
Manager: “Our last item on the agenda is the KOTOR remake”
All: laughter
Can we just make new media? Movies, games, television, ALL just rehashes of the same stuff we’ve experienced before.
Didn’t this already get canceled?
I thought it was picked back up. Unless it got cancelled again?
No official cancellation was announced. Only some pretty convincing rumours that it was.

A lot of demand and yet it remains in development hell with no one willing to comment about its fate. Oh well, I guess the classic games are still there. They’re still perfectly playable and that’s before you start bringing in mods to tweak things that haven’t aged well.
