To create their remake of KOTOR, Aspyr has created a team of 'industry veterans' that have worked on 'other great RPGs' alongside 'some members of the original Knights of the Old Republic development team.' In recent years, Aspyr has been working with Lucasfilm Games to remaster several classic Star Wars titles for modern systems, including Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Wars: Episode I – Racer, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.Īt this time, KOTOR's upcoming remake has no release date. That said, Aspyr has stated that they plan on 'staying true to its revered story.' This remake will be built 'from the ground up', utilising the latest technology to match the 'groundbreaking standard' that the original set with its 2003 release. They need to find that balance.Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games have confirmed that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's upcoming Remake will be coming to PC and PlayStation 5, with the game being a 'console exclusive' for PlayStation for a limited time. It can be done, VTM:B is an example of a game I have no issues with (assuming I use a build, that is). But me, who didn't play them when they came out and grew up with TES: Oblivion playing games like KOTOR feels frustrating and terribly dated. There's no way a cheap remaster a la Mass Effect would've worked. useless skills, skills that severely gimp your character etc. Like VTM:B it's no issue once you figure a build out, but before that you're going 'ehhh'. The over complicated skill system where I had no idea what to even build. I just don't see that working anymore for KOTOR. You swing into someone with a lightsaber 'miss' you stab a mudcrab 10 times, all miss. The problem for me is more that those mechanics just lack visual feedback. But I don't think they're going for that either. It can be turn based I don't think that matters as much. To me it's not even about making it ready for a modern audience as much but more that those old DnD mechanics really don't fit in a modern RPG anymore. Is SWTOR worth trying?
