TBH & IMO, sad to see but I’m actually a bit relieved because i was worried about what a KOTOR remake (not port) from Aspyr would even look like.
Yeah, they should have Larian do a remake if they’re gonna do one. Not ASPYR lmao
That would probably be a dream game
I know right? Alas, dreams it shall be then.
Unpopular opinion, but…Good. Remakes need to stop. Hollywood and the gaming community is cashing in on everyone’s low attention span.
We’ve seen it before, we’ve played it before. Give us new shit and stop regurgitating and recycling all the old shit. Let them be what they are- great games of the past.
Start making great games of the present.
Why can’t people make what they want to make, and if you’re not interested, don’t buy it? I understand being frustrated by the lack of new original IP, but that doesn’t mean they can’t both exist.
It’s exhausting listening to the overwhelming negativity some people put out there when no one is hurting them.
Lemmy is exhausting with everyone’s negativity and confident incorrectness.
I didn’t play the original KOTOR. I would love to play an updated version of it.
Exactly, all I’m saying is that there are people out there that enjoy re-imagining or updating of good content. The numbers don’t lie, and people enjoying something you criticize doesn’t make them stupid.
Both new IP and remakes can co-exist. I agree companies want to take the less risky option, but content creation (both in games and movies) has become more accessible than ever.
Ditto!
i played the originals, there both in my like top 20, and yes would absolutely love to play a remake, just not when that opportunity is given to a company only known for a few remasters (not remakes) /shitty ports, and little to no visible experience building a game from the ground up.
to be blunt Sony asking Aspyr was like asking a 4 star house painter from yelp to restore/remake the sistine chapel.
You can just play the original KOTOR? It’s still just as good as it was

It worked fine on win 10 for me when I played it a few years ago. If you’ve tried it, what issues did you encounter?

That’s kinda strange that it doesn’t work on win 10 for you. I haven’t had any problems running it on win 11, which is obviously not the same as 10 but I would imagine the compatibility issues to be very similar.

I’ve definitely played both KOTOR I and KOTOR II on Windows 10.

Why can’t people make what they want to make
Because it’s companies who are making these games not people. They own the rights to make Star Wars games so they can and will. An indie developer can’t make the game they may want to make because they don’t own the rights. I think it’s human nature to get angry at a company that isn’t treating an IP you like with respect.
That being said I totally agree with you though, people definitely take these things so personally. All you have to do is just not buy it. It’s obvious these companies make remakes because people buy them, you then have this weird situation where the community is split between enjoying and hating.
Some people want new games rather than rehashes. Game companies only make so many games. Each remake is a new game that wasn’t.
And some of us were really excited to play this. And now we have a game that wasn’t.
Not all games that release have to be what you want. Some can be what I want too.
Depends on the era the game was made. I certainly didn’t want gta triology to be remastered; but I’d absolutely pay AAA price for a Chrono Trigger remaster in 3D.
I literally don’t trust Square with it, they would split it into five games and let Tetsuya Nomura write it. They would shit all over the game to make sure it better fit with Radical Dreamers as if anyone gives a shit about that.
Honestly no. Gimme one in style of Octopath
