All I want is a convenient way to play KOTOR 1. An adapter version like they did with KOTOR 2, so I can play from the couch with a controller like when I was a kid.
They dont know how to make good movies or games anymore, so not hoping for much. It actually requires emotional maturity and love for the craft.
I want to be enthusiastic about this. I really, really do… but Star Wars has just burned me so hard this past decade announcing exciting projects only for them to never be heard from again. Remember that High Republic game? That was announced years ago now, and we’ve not heard anything since.
Abandoning stuff like 2313 and moving forward with shit like Outlaws is baffling to me.
Star Wars Eclipse was announced in 2021. It’s a Quantic Dream game, they usually take their time, deliver a polished release and don’t really talk about stuff until the release. I’d rather they take their time than release the shit everyone else does. That’s probably the worst example to use of Star Wars stuff being bad recently.
Also there are rumors that that was effectively a recruitment video which would also push it to very early stages of development. Makes sense though probably better for a large project to get a bunch of people from the start and delay development a bit at the beginning than to delay development later due to fuckery.
It’s also par for the course with recent Quantic Dream announcements.
The Kara tech demo was released March 2012 (over a year before the current game they were working on, Beyond: Two Souls released). And Detroit: Become Human gave us the corresponding game for Kara but didn’t release until May 2018. So that’s 6 years from announcement/introduction of a new game to it’s release.
Forgot about that bit, but yeah makes sense then that we haven’t heard shit since they are at best still polishing things up. If there’s one thing I can give Quantic Dream it’s that their games are generally well polished baring a few bugs (JASON!) or scattershot writing (beyond two souls).
Well at least Sam Maggs isn’t on this one.
Hopefully it’s a step in the right direction for Star Wars?
EDIT: Before you riot, my distaste with her has nothing to do with her being a woman, and everything to do with her being needlessly antagonistic to people and her being a writer on such “banger” games as Anthem and Call of Duty Vanguard.
Was expecting the remake to finally get to know the original game… The husband is a fan and I tried to play it but couldn’t get over the graphics and gameplay. Don’t know if I should force myself to go through or just wait.
Honestly, this shows next to nothing.
Yeah, not very helpful. Comments were hyping up the director, never heard of the guy. I’ll give it the same things I give to all the other Star Wars projects, hope and cautious optimism.
Casey Hudson was the original project lead of Kotor 1 and the entire first Mass Effect trilogy. I think that’s why a lot of people are hopeful about the direction of this new game.
never heard of the guy
Director behind some of the best RPGs of all time. Baldur’s Gate 2, KotOR, Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect, Jade Empire.
Yeah the only guy that really compares would be if someone like Brian Fargo was involved. Real golden era of games guy.
Fuck now I want a Wasteland 2/3 style star wars game.
Casey Hudson alone won’t make the game good, sadly. He closed humanoid and now is making a licensed game. That likely means whoever is writing the cheque will have outsized influence in how the game is developed. Seeing as it is likely lucasfilm calling the shots, I’m not optimistic it won’t be slop.
If it’s not D20 Star Wars RPG, we riot.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
SWG was the last good Star Wars game. I’ll die on this hill.
LOL dead franchise
I will only play this if there’s a Destiny 2 crossover.
Lol
