Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Is No Longer In Development - Report

Current approach to Star Wars- whatever the fans want, do the opposite. Seems like its really working out for them.

It's for the best. The remake would've been infested with woke inserts with questionable character presentations & designs. The story would've been butchered for a "modern audience."

I'm taking this as good news! The original is a masterpiece, not sure they could have replicated that today!

Probably for the best. They likely would have made Bastila the lead and Revan canonically female. At least we will always have the original.

*cue The Price Is Right losing horn sound effect*

Another quality exclusive from Jimbo Cryin’ and Kathleen Kennedy. 😆

So, the thing that NO ONE wants to say is probably this. LucasArts KILLED the project. Period. They didn't want anyone changing or redoing the original ideas and gameplay that was involved in the project. I could give 2 $hits if someone that was working on the project was "woke" or some bs. That's the world we live in. Love it or hate it, it's true. Still, I'm pretty sure LucasArts saw what was being written and redone and simply said, "NOPE". End of story. No more redux. Period.

Probably numerous reasons why this happen. One of which is probably updating the combat for modern audiences. That was thing I was really curious on. No way they were gonna do the old school pause and play style of combat in a modern AAA game. But then they’d have to justify that change with something REALLY good or else they’d of pissed off the fans. I’m pretty sure this might of been at least a small part of the problem.

Good. I'm not really a Star Wars dude, but KoTOR was (and probably still is)the best Star Wars story since the original movies. Nothing drives me more bonkers than when people who never created anything of note, swoop in and think they know better than the original writer of the source material and proceed to ruin the property.

Still would love to see a 1:1 remake with new assets or something clearly made with the love and understanding of the source material, like the FF7 remake was. This wasn't going to be either.

Nothing good was going to come out of it anyways, especially with the writer being woke. The damage she'll do to the beloved characters is reason enough to cancel this remake.

I've said it a million times across not only the videogame industry, but across all life in general. There are far too many people getting paid far too much money to be terrible at what they do when it's not that hard to get it right. A remake of KOTOR, if done well, is a license to print money and a potential source of goodwill from millions of gamers at a time where Star Wars has probably never been more popular or had such a large fan base. If you can't get that to happen, everyone involved in the mess should be out of the industry. They won't, they'll continue to make millions, and we'll be stuck with whatever garbage they throw at us.

I knew this wasn't going to actually materialize. How f***ing hard is it to just give people what they want?

its a shame. a lot of remakes like star ocean 2 and mario rpg are coming out amazing being mostly graphical updates with a few gameplay tweaks. this could have been like that

Lucasfilm Games should do whatever it takes to get Larian to make KOTOR III after this debacle.

This is why you shouldn't get excited over a CGI trailer. So much hype got built for a game that'll never come out.

Just a reminder the Mass Effect 5 trailer is now three years old, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 has broken the record of longest development with 15 years.

All for the best, every time i hear HK47 is not cannon and IG88 is i get upset.

The original holds up fine.

SW going forward is so eff'd.

~I wonder what dirt KatheleenKennedy has on george Lucas to make him sell

his baby & watch it crumble to pieces.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

It's probably better this way.

We all know deep inside they'd have most likely F_ed it up. Just play the original folks.

Just give the license to Larian, I bet they would be more than happy to make a Star Wars RPG.

So no fan remake and no big AAA remake.

We're just left with the out-of-date original.
