Relevant part of the article:

in an investor call following the announcement of Saber's departure, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors implied the KOTOR remake may still be a long way away. The game has undergone a long limbo, having been announced in 2021 after three years of development at Aspyr, paused indefinitely due to lack of progress, and revived again at Saber Interactive. There have been minimal official updates since.

Good news everybody! This game is already out, graphics don't matter, and quality of life mods are probably better than what a studio could do.

If only it was playable with a controller

Sounds like a subpar experience imo

Not the same developer of course, but I hope this doesn't get the battlefront classic collection treatment.

Nah. It's stuck in development hell. If it does get released it's gonna be mid at best and be a The Lord of the Rings: Gollum at worst.

What a rollercoaster of a development cycle. I want to get off this ride!

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea I agree. I'm at the point where if it comes out then I believe it was in development this whole time.

Gonna end up like that Duke Nukem flop from years ago

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Or like the star wars collection recently :(

The weird thing about these remakes is that they keep cutting and remixing content from the originals with mixed results. Resident Evil 3 was a good example as it's almost a whole new vision for the game (I do acknowledge this came with a lot of shortcomings).

When I think about what Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth has done, I understand that it's a sequel that turns the remake genre on its head. I think this is a more interesting way of approaching it.

When people debate whether it's good or bad is almost a moot point. If someone "remade" Devil May Cry and it was a top down turn based RPG like FF tactics, I wouldn't care as long as it's good. ( I didn't hate D.M.C. and it's weirdly 2000cool aesthetics)

I may or may not buy the new one, I just want the option to buy the old one too.
