minus-squareImgurRefugee114@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-21 month 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-squarejedibob5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoNo, there was a remake announced in 2021, it just got trapped in development hell.
