Looks like they deleted all their tweets about the KOTOR remake as well.

Yeah... I'd rather have it cancelled than have her involved in this.

Given that the KOTOR project is now somewhat attached to Sony, I'd rather like to see them take over the title with any of their 1st or 2nd party devs and have Bluepoint supervise it from afar.
Shadow of the Colossus, Demon's Souls, The Last Of Us... they've published some of the best videogame remakes in recent times.

Same here, it was one of my ps5 games checklist. Always heard the buzz around how good kotor was and it was classic bioware material. After reading this thread, thank god it was canned. I would rather they not desecrate it.
That said, Im less of a remake enthusiast anymore. Remasters can always be done without sacrificing the original spirit (generally). And with the revolution of AI upscaling etc, I can foresee lots of custom mods that are basically modern version of retro games. We shouldn't need official endorsements by agenda driven companies to produce the modern IP remakes.

Did anyone really want this?
The game is/was obviously going to be massively redesigned to not play and feel like complete ass in 202X. KOTOR's always had this weird niche fanbase, were the purists ever going to be happy with the inevitable changes? Did we really trust them to just 1:1 the story into a modern game? I like KOTOR but didn't feel even a twitch of excitement when this was announced because the above felt inevitable. Also felt like vaporware the second they announced it for some reason.

Do you have a source for that? Not saying I don't believe you but I just want to have a source if I bring it up anywhere else.

- Eurogamer was the first who reported it a while back - https://www.eurogamer.net/saber-interactive-joins-development-of-star-wars-kotor-remake
- KotOR Remake was listed by Embracer as in development a few months back - https://www.thegamer.com/kotor-remake-still-in-development-ps5-pc-embracer-group/
- Aspyr is Saber's subsidiary and both are Embracer's subsidiaries
- One of Gaming Leaks and Rumors reddit users found "unannounced Star Wars AAA game" tidbit on a LinkedIn profile of one of the devs who works at Saber. The time when this developer started working on the project is relatively close to the first rumors that KotOR Remake was put on hold at Aspyr
This recent change can of course mean the project was completely cancelled considering Embracer's recent stunts with canning projects left and right, but it may also be just preparing the ground for the game's re-reveal

There is not a modern better exemple of how to lower the bar then releasing so mutch shit that mandalorian and ahsoka can look like "pretty good" shows .
Both are dog shit ... specially ahsoka and I like clone wars and rebels to a extent
Ill give you mandolarian season 1 and Andor ... Andor is the best and thats because KK wasnt involved.. and this is why you ill never see season 2 of it .

I'll be honest I never thought the original was quite as good as others back in the day. Good but not great. But that didn't stop me wishing for a great remake. Real shame if it is indeed cancelled.

Embracer also officially confirmed that Saber is now working on KOTOR Remake in one of their recent quarterly earnings calls.

I dunno I loved Mando Season 1 and 2, and his parts in BoBF, however Season 3 is a big drop in quality aside from the last couple of episodes

Good. I don't need Revan reenvisioned as a trans, black person in a wheelchair whose only obstacles in life are present to show how much of a badass zrhe is

Let this fucking game die.
Give us a nice little remaster project of the original code and call it a day. I don't want KOTOR rewritten or redesigned by less talented people who aren't passionate about Star Wars or who think KOTORs narrative needs to be changed.
Every remake is an opportunity for some hack to hijack it and impose their shitty ideas onto a classic property.

Probably it’s for the best to cancel it. I doubt I’ll satisfied with the final product.

Mandalorian S2 was tolerable at least for the most part as well, but wasn’t amazing.
And yeah, everything else produced since she took over has been shit.
Sigh… for all their faults, the new EA’s Jedi Survivor games are better vs almost everything produced on SW movie / TV side in last 10 years (except for the above mentioned and Rogue One).

The previous thread was amazing with people defending this to the death and being completely oblivious of how Aspyr NEVER MADE A GAME IN THEIR LIFE. All they did was port old PC games to the Mac and mobile, yet suddenly they were going to make a AAA KOTOR remake with Sam Maggs writing? LOL everyone got scammed Abandoned-style.

Well he's one of these people that says "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less", what do you expect lol
Are people like this fucking retarded or they just have no idea how anything works??? I really want to know

Isn't this old news? It was already known for a long time that the vertical slice prepared by Aspyr was rejected by Sony/Lucasfilm and the project got canned.
Kinda sucks but eh, just leave it alone. The last thing we want are some zoomer cunts updating that game for modern audiences or whatever.

I forgot all about this.
Not the end of the world, there are literally squillions of hastily, cobbled together remasters for the rose tinted afflicted to gobble up.

Even if isn't canceled it should. Don't really trust any dev anymore that can do it justice.

Respawn could, but they're busy with Jedi 3 and their Star Wars FPS.

A couple of months back I bought Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga off a sale and was really pleasantly surprised. Not only as a game (my first foray into the Lego games as a matter of fact, dunno why, just never bought any before), but also how they handled the plot of the prequels/sequels. A more sarcastic take made all the nonsense much more palatable.

The idea of this not being turn based always freaked me out to start with. I spent too many hours in the OG game on Xbox.

You can still play it on PC or Xbox right now…

It's baffling to me how people can't get this right. It's not even a typo, it's a fundamental failure of reasoning. God people piss me off

I would rather have Sony take control. Get the Bluepoint guys to do it.

Recent news seems to point that it's just a licensing issue and that the game is still being made. Sorry for the bad news.
Holy shit. I think we avoided a disaster
