KOTOR Kinghts of the Old Republic (Remake)

I’ve been playing it on and off for the last couple of months on my iPad. Having a fun time with it, too, but never play it for very long at a time. So it’s been 6 or 7 month and I am just about to get off Taris.

I'm not convinced a remake of an 18-year old game counts as 'over and over' but ok...

This is one game I've been hoping to get the remake. I really hope they expand on the environments, make places bigger with more people, more quests, make some of the areas more open. The game was in the end fairly linear when it came to exploration so would love them to just add more to it.

I first played it back in either -04 or -05. Been a while since I've played it but I do remember it hasn't really aged that well, the combat is a bit clunky. I do wonder how they're going to upgrade it.

Not sure about adding a voice to the player character, can't say I would be totally opposed. It's always a bit clunky when everyone else is expressing them so clearly and the PC just stands there with no emotion.
I do hope for a more, a lot more expansive CC tho. Since you're gonna look at the characters face a lot, would be good to invest on it proper.

This is hardly a new thing.

Movies stared being 'remade' in the 1890's.

There's likely a slight bounce with the next-generation of consoles, but these things are hardly difficult to keep track of and naturally you don't have to buy them. Most purchasers of new-KOTOR will not have played the original.

A remaster would have been better.

I mean, to use movies as a comparison, there's plenty of classics out there that I and others would happily buy when a new media platform becomes popular. Movies like The Maltese Falcon, The Great Escape, Star Wars, And so on. Same movie, maybe touched up a bit, but now available on the current technology.

A remake? Yeah, that rarely works out so well. 

Ghostbusters?
Total Recall?
Robocop?
The Mummy?
Around the World in 80 Days?

Sure OCCASSIONALLY a remake may match the original. But more often it's simply an attempt to cash in on the name recognition of the original.

I'm HIGHLY skeptical this will do the original justice.

There was 3 remakes of the Mummy (the original was in 1932), only the most recent one (2017) was a flop. The other 2 remakes spawned series with 4+ movies each as did the original.

Around the World in 80 Days is a Jules Verne novel that has numerous movies, theatre, television and even video game adaptations.

The Jackie Chan movie is just another adaptation of the novel, it's not a remake. Jules Verne is credited as the main writer for it.

It'd be harder, since I would lay serious money on the remake being more action oriented than the original, but if they can make it work - they definitely should.  If nothing else; different forms, combined with classes and prestige classes would add replayability.

Disagree with it being unplayable, clunky at times yes, but as a whole package it holds up well. I did a playthrough of KOTOR and KOTOR2 on the xbond last year, for me I got the same enjoyment out of them now as I did as a kid when they first came out. Their just solid games, which is why many in here are nervous about the potential changes that will be made.

Resident evil 2 is an example of a good remake resident evil 3, not so much...

 Shows what I know, I guess.  I didn't realise that the forms and Prestige classes were specific to D&D.  But if so, then yeah, I guess that makes it less likely.
