KOTOR Remake Announced + Teaser *UPDATE* It appears canceled

[Nizam al-Mulk]

KOTOR has that great reveal, and is very polished/complete, but it's otherwise a cookie cutter

I disagree. Including the Rakata was a huge risk and they made it work.

jk. I do love KOTOR, and I think it would make an incredible Star Wars film, as it feels like the OG trilogy in a different era. I liked the Rakata implementation too, ancient civs are always intriguing, like the race in Jedi Fallen order, forget what they are called. I never played Jedi Survivor, as it was a mess at launch, but I'll get to it eventually. Hopefully they delve more into that race.

KOTOR 2 is more like Andor, or Deep Space 9 is to typical classic Star Trek.

Lol, I fired up KOTOR2 on my Xbox last night cause of this thread and had a game breaking bug in the prologue, hadn't saved yet. I've only ever played it on PC prior. Xbox got shafted.

Good description of KOTOR feeling OG trilogy. Agreed. It's a more simple story than KOTOR 2 but I'm good with that, I wouldn't change a thing even though I prefer the second. I like the mix of simplicity and complexity in SW story telling.

The KOTOR games are my favorite SW characters and stories, even over all six of the movies.

I wouldn't change a thing either. I freaking love Star Trek the Next Generation, but DS9 is my fav Star Trek anything. However, it couldn't exist and have that contrasting appeal without TNG, same applies for KOTOR 2.

I get angry every time I realize theres never been a great Star Trek RPG. DS9 would have been a perfect setting for it.

Yeah, the closest we ever got was Star Trek Online. That had really decent ship combat/exploration though, and some surprisingly good stories with OG voice actors, but everything on the ground/space stations was poor to mediocre.

It was still cool to visit and walk around DS9, but a focused RPG in the midst of the Dominion War would have been amazing. There are so many cool/diverse fleshed out factions in that setting.

Like Babylon 5, DS9 was the perfect hub for introducing new races, characters and storytelling. That would be a really cool place to live.

It's too bad Star Trek is in such a rotten state these days, but that voyageur Faster than Light-type rogue-like looks promising.
