The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is dead and no longer actively being worked on, according to a new report.

surprised-pika-messed-up I figured this wouldn't be good, but now it's dead-dead.

The original game is still playable and doesn't really need a remake TBH

    If someone figured out how to hack-and-slashify the OGs, I'd have played more of them than the first three or four hours; but I can't stand the pseudo-tabletop format they're presented in and I was really hoping this'd finally be it

      Understandable. I eat that computer real time with pause tabletop RPG shit up, but it's not for everyone.

      Knowing Disney, they'll probably adapt the stories into some mid web series in a year or two lol.

      That Jedi Fallen Order game was pretty cool. I could see someone wanting like that.

        Christ, that's even worse. See, the entire reason I avoided Fallen Order was 1, I don't fuck with soulslikes(yes, I keep 'DMC-speed hack/slash' apart from 'Souls-speed hack/slash')-- don't like the format, especially don't like the communities they tend to engender-- and the other part of it is because I'm sick of white-guy Jedi; and they didn't allow Cal to be customizable at least. I'd have to go looking for a melanin mod, or a total character replacer before I ever booted it up.

          Yeah, they do the shitty Disney Star Wars thing of having the PoC characters be supporting cast (the mentor character here) or fascist villains (the main Jedi hunter villain working for the Empire).

          I'd have to go looking for a melanin mod before I ever booted it up.

          God, I'm having flashbacks to awful freeze-gamer dweebs modding Baldur's Gate 3 to whitewash the one Black main character. The character models were originally designed to look like the actors, too.

            Yeah, half the reason I'd want the melanin mod in the first place is to get those very same kyles pulling the white Wyll shit(yes, I saw that) to seethe about it

      Or if they're going to do the pesudo-tabletop way, learn from Larian. Baldurs Gate 3 has pushed that format forward massively. It could ABSOLUTELY work for something like a KOTOR remake and keep it in the original style.

      But they won't do that. They aren't interested in doing that. If The KOTOR remake ever happens it'll not be because someone had a good idea about how to modernize it or improve it, it'll be because someone had a good idea about how to monetize it.

        Bioware did make Mass Effect later on as a more action focused scifi party-based RPG.

        I'd say that the new Final Fantasy 7 is also proof that you can still make party members work in an action game.

        MvC-style tag assists? (Admittedly, I totally forgot there were companions-- like I said, I never got that far through the first one)

        I think they included Restored content, wide-screen support, 4k support, controller support, workshop support.

        Nothing too crazy, just some qol shiz.
