KOTOR Kinghts of the Old Republic (Remake)

With all the talk of appealing to a Modern Audience it makes me wonder if they'll allow you keep all of your companions, no matter the choice you make.

That article also mentioned that the same language was used in regards of remakes that changed little/not much of the original. I get that FFVII remake is a perfect example of the direction they could go for with KOTOR, but it’s not the only one.

I also don’t think that changes are necessary going to make the end product a bad game/remake. It can still end up good and not a shitty remake. Granted, I’d have preferred to have the remake where they’ll announce they’d change zero in regards of the story, as there are less chances of the changes being bad, but never expected that to happen, unfortunately.

Looking forward to seeing the changes made in the remake.

It sound like you never played a video game remake. They are entire new games, like movie remakes are new movies.

The recent Resident Evil 2 and 3 are remakes and they had rewrites and new voice actors. Going by what was said, the KoTOR remake will keep the cast (well those still alive) and the story as is. 

What's going to change is probably in-universe references and certain sentences in dialogues, especially if Revan is voiced. I mean, "How do I level up?" is an actually dialogue choice in the intro.

It’s possible the lead developers of the two were different? 

Direct personal attacks on anyone are against the forum rules. That applies to developers as well as forum members.

'Her statements are hypocritical and self-serving' is permissible.

'She is a self-serving hypocrite' is not.

I’d say that’s something went wrong with RE3’s remake, as suggested.

Can't wait to see what their idea of a KotOR "updated for a modern audience" is.

Will it be bold and stunning? A masterpiece even?

Only time will tell.

Indeed.

They appear to have some good people on the team.

But the only real test will be 'proof is in the pudding'.

ok, it's easier to sort out which posts are good than which ones aren't.

So I'm moving all the posts out, then moving the solid ones back.

ok, this is what has happened:

We have a forum rule about game developers which I'll quote:

"Game Developers

We give special protection from harassment to game developers.
Many developers lurk on our forums, some visible, others invisible. Without their work, we have no forum.
Breaking the rules with a developer as the target will lead to a more immediate and firmer response than our standard rules, so don’t do it."

Even if a developer becomes very senior where legitimate critique may become reasonable as they have become a mouth-piece for a company, personal attacks are not.

In this thread matters became targeted and personal (around 3 pages worth), which is not going to stand.

There wasn't a practical way to remove the 'fair critique' from the 'toxicity' so that line of debate has gone (along with a section of digression concerning the merits or otherwise of the modern-day Star Wars movie franchise). Sorry if anyone's fair posts were removed, it was just collateral damage.

I should add that there was a good portion of 'bad faith' posting going on designed simply to wind people up and provoke a response. Let's do a good deal less of that please.

(we'll take a look at the 3 pages of steaming content to see if we need to take any other actions.   )

Going forward, please discuss KOTOR Remake as you will, but please leave individual developers out of it unless they comment on the KOTOR Remake in the press (and then their involvement in the topic should stay civil and relevant)



On with the show.

(I really liked the original KOTOR, though I find it has aged just too much for me to enjoyably play it now, perhaps the remake will be awesome)

I'm just wary of Sam Maggs, is that too much of a criticism?
