The remake was announced in 2021.

TBH & IMO, sad to see but I'm actually a bit relieved because i was worried about what a KOTOR remake (not port) from Aspyr would even look like.

Yeah, they should have Larian do a remake if they’re gonna do one. Not ASPYR lmao
- That would probably be a dream game
  
  I know right? Alas, dreams it shall be then.
Unpopular opinion, but…Good. Remakes need to stop. Hollywood and the gaming community is cashing in on everyone’s low attention span.

We’ve seen it before, we’ve played it before. Give us new shit and stop regurgitating and recycling all the old shit. Let them be what they are- great games of the past.

Start making great games of the present.
- Why can't people make what they want to make, and if you're not interested, don't buy it? I understand being frustrated by the lack of new original IP, but that doesn't mean they can't both exist.
  
  It's exhausting listening to the overwhelming negativity some people put out there when no one is hurting them.
  
  Lemmy is exhausting with everyone’s negativity and confident incorrectness.
  
  I didn’t play the original KOTOR. I would love to play an updated version of it.
  
  Why can't people make what they want to make
  
  Because it's companies who are making these games not people. They own the rights to make Star Wars games so they can and will. An indie developer can't make the game they may want to make because they don't own the rights. I think it's human nature to get angry at a company that isn't treating an IP you like with respect.
  
  That being said I totally agree with you though, people definitely take these things so personally. All you have to do is just not buy it. It's obvious these companies make remakes because people buy them, you then have this weird situation where the community is split between enjoying and hating.
  
  Some people want new games rather than rehashes. Game companies only make so many games. Each remake is a new game that wasn't.
- Depends on the era the game was made. I certainly didn't want gta triology to be remastered; but I'd absolutely pay AAA price for a Chrono Trigger remaster in 3D.
  
  Honestly no. Gimme one in style of Octopath
  
  I literally don't trust Square with it, they would split it into five games and let Tetsuya Nomura write it. They would shit all over the game to make sure it better fit with Radical Dreamers as if anyone gives a shit about that.
We're living in the good timeline where they haven't fucked up KotOR yet. Let's be thankful for that for a moment.
