    I don’t really want a remake. I would enjoy a kotor3 that was the same quality as Baldur’s gate 3, though.

    This game is going to make a ton of money if it ever comes out. Canceling this was stupid.

    Disney: Yes there is a lot of demand for this game but the reality is it was made in a different era in gaming. There’s just no way for us to turn this into a live service or aggressively monetise it through microtransactions or battlepasses so our hands are tied.

      Also Disney: Sorry, money-cows fans, but we do not understand what is this “quality” thing you speak of. Our panel of highly skilled market analysts fail to identify any correlation between it and higher profits, so we ignore it.

      There’s just no way for us to turn this into a live service or aggressively monetise it through microtransactions or battlepasses so our hands are tied.

      The irony is that they already have a game that allows for all that predatory shit, The Old Republic MMORPG.

      Don’t underestimate a capitalist’s creativity when it comes to rent seeking schemes.

    Fuck it Disney. This is what I wanted the next Star Wars trilogy to be based on. Not whatever Skywalker trash your writers vomit up again in your creative meetings.

    Can we just make new media? Movies, games, television, ALL just rehashes of the same stuff we’ve experienced before.

    I’m not a fan of star wars, but I liked kotor 1 & 2. I’d probably play a kotor 3, but not a remake. I have no interest in anything tied in with the movies, make a new story with new characters, I don’t care about luke or darth vader.

    Is it a “We hear you and are discussing internally” or a “Yeah, we hear you, so what?” type of vibe?

      I’m sure they discussed it internally. It went something like this:

      Manager: “Our last item on the agenda is the KOTOR remake”

      All: laughter

    A lot of demand and yet it remains in development hell with no one willing to comment about its fate. Oh well, I guess the classic games are still there. They’re still perfectly playable and that’s before you start bringing in mods to tweak things that haven’t aged well.
