minus-squarejedibob5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 days agoNo, there was a remake announced in 2021, it just got trapped in development hell. Supposedly it hasn’t officially been cancelled yet, but I don’t have my hopes up. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/kotor-remake-returns-for-annual-tradition-of-reminding-you-its-still-alive-but-no-you-cant-hear-anything-more-about-it-until-it-comes-back-next-year-to-say-it-again/
minus-squareImgurRefugee114@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-22 days agoJust keep the audio assets from the original. Honestly, even the graphical assets… The gameplay is the hardest thing for new players; I’d kill to see KOTOR in a modern engine and with some mechanics like BG3.
minus-squaretmyakal@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoI booted up KotOR on a whim last week, started the character creator, said “Oh, that’s right. This was based on 3E rules,” and promptly noped out. I don’t have the time or patience to relearn 3E’s complexity.
