KOTOR Remake

I hope they don’t make it a pure action game either.


It’s a shame we didn’t see any gameplay and with no release date it will be a long time before we do get to see how it plays.


Can’t wait though.

Unless they do something like FF7 Remake it’ll be an awkward fit to make it an action game, retain control of the party and any of the feel if the original.

I liked being able to pause and issue commands. It was basically a more casual CRPG system in 3D.

Yup, agree. I didn't try the FF7 remake, and I appreciate the original was obviously a very different game from KOTOR, but how did they handle party swapping in the new action combat for FF7?

I suspect Kotor has become an object of veneration from afar rather than something people actually still play. There really isn't any thread developers can catch onto to update the battle system because there's nothing there to start with. The IGN play guide is hilarious, I'll lay some 'pro' level Kotor strategy on you. If you don't equip weapons... Gasp! You'll lose. Now this is vitally important, melee and ranged attacks. You'll need to switch to a ranged weapon to do ranged attacks! If you keep trying to do them with a melee weapon... You'll lose.

This is big brain, big boy stuff. Not one of those *hock* *spit* JRPGs where subtle player choices can change the tide of battle, we're doing this the Kotor way. Is your level high enough? Then just keep on attacking. Brute force baby.

Kotor's battle system is so vapid, shallow and dumb there's nothing to work with, they'll probably switch out for some sort of Mass Effect style action system, modern controllers have so many buttons it's not like you need to pause to equip and use grenades etc.

I hope most of the cast do come back too. Canderous, HK-47, Jolee, Malek. These voices have to be the same.

Come to think of it I can see it following the Dragon Age / Mass Effect path for combat and action. Mass Effect grew out of KOTOR afterall.

Great...

It took less than 24 hrs to go toxic

Oh ffs, gonna see these dickheads in every comment section. It is interesting though, certainly suggests they will be adding to if not changing aspects to the story.

It may not have been perfect, but it did have one of the greatest twists in any game plot.

This person is probably the type who thinks the sequel trilogy is the pinnacle of Star Wars.

With her in charge the best we can hope for is a solid combat system. The story will be shite.

The story is also absolute pish outside of that, it's generic sci fi war nonsense with a sprinkling of random SW lore.

A fantastic game, but let's not pretend like the story was some immutable legendary text that can't be dramatically improved upon.

It was a great RPG that basically made Bioware, and had the first decent, original Star Wars IP in a long while* bolted on top.

*The world was still reeling from the prequels and Hayden, which probably boosted its popularity somewhat

Really excited for this but feel a little like it can't really be done right. I adored this at the time, one of the best of the generation and still look back on it fondly, but it's so old. I hope they capture what made it special without messing about too much.

How did I miss this news, awesome. If only PS5s were available here, amazon is shilling them for 1000 euro now at least so maybe it's getting closer.
