Yes and then series about revan to Disney plus
I don't think it should go that way. Kotor is amuch more accessible game than the kind of games Larian make and it should stay that way imo.That's the correct choice. Bioware is gone and Obisidian is not a top tier developer. Larian has the right spirit and talent for this project... although it won't happen of course.
I'd play Kotor, an reimagining wouldn't be the same and it likely wound't be as good because it's a high bar. They got it right the first time.
Kotor is almost 20 years old now and people want to replay it but with modern techonlogy, making the world more alive, and maybe reintroducing it to their kid. It shouldn't be hard to understandWould much rather prefer the later in the OP with a sequel of sorts instead of a straight up remake. Why does everything need to be remade? Focus on original story ideas, borrowing gameplay cues and nods from what made the predecessors successful if needed.
KOTOR 2 is better game out of the two tho.
Shame it's yet another Obsidian game where they were forced to do crunch dev cycle and shove it out unfinished.
Bluepoint Games making a KOTOR reimagining exclusively for the PS5. Believe.
KotOR 2 has worse story, worse writing, much worse characters and it even manages to have worse gameplay despite KotOR 1 having poor gameplay to start with. If it was finished properly it would still be only average.

Revan is to big for Disney plus. He needs a trilogy of movies to tell his story.
Totally down if they put the current Bioware studio doing The Old Republic in charge of it. They've proven to be competent storytellers.
KOTOR 2's writing FAR surpasses KOTOR 1. I mean, I can see the appeal of KOTOR 1, I just played both of them recently in fact, there's a certain charm to KOTOR 1 with the environments and everything that actually makes it difficult for me to choose which one I like more but KOTOR 2's writing has a level of complexity and nuance that KOTOR 1 simply does not. Kreia might be the best character in all of Star Wars.
Burn.Starwars and bioware have alot in common these days too, they are both shells of their former selves
He was on the writing for Fallen Order, pretty sure he'd love to write for Star Wars he just isn't interested in working with Obsidian again.Wasn't he technically made canon inRise of Skywalker? The Visual Dictionary?
I'm interested, but also agree that I don't want Bioware touching this. Respawn actually wouldn't be bad. Doesn't even necessarily need to be an RPG in my opinion.
I would love to have Avellone back, but I don't honestly think he would want to.
This. Cant get excited if it's an incompetent dev behind it.It all depends on the developers, isn't it? Do you want the current Bioware to make a sequel to KOTOR?
I'll reserve my hype until everything is confirmed.
My heart..

Agreed, I actually think the Emperor in SWTOR (in all his variations) is the best villain Star War's ever had. And having 8 classes meant they did fantastic stories in the Star Wars universe that would never have happened if it was a traditional single play sequel which would have just been the Jedi Knight story. And as someone who adores the Sith Warrior and Imperial Agent storyline it would be a shame to not have them.Absolutely. it's a fantastic follow up to Kotor 2. And they really dare to do some crazy shit with the universe, especially in the expansions.
100% lolI just have a feeling that this is going to be a real "monkey's paw" situation
This, that combat would work so well with a KOTOR game.I want a long sprawling story with deep customization but want it to play like Fallen Order.
What I've heard separately, from people familiar with goings-on at the studio, is that BioWare Austin did indeed play around with a Knights of the Old Republic prototype, but that it hasn't been greenlit and is not currently in development.
According to one, the previously mentioned Knights of the Old Republic remake is back in development. My other source added to that saying they felt it wasn't so much a remake, but a "sequel" of sorts. It would be a Knights of the Old Republic project that would integrate elements from the first two games in order to bring certain things into the current Star Wars canon. Not necessarily a remake, so much as a re-imagining.
Do not fully believe in Star Wars rumors unless it comes from Making Star Wars.
Has this site ever leaked something that was later confirmed?
If not, what are we even talking about :P
Project Luminous IS supposed to have a game attached to it. Granted Luminious supposedly takes place during the 'High Republic' era not the Old Republic. So who knows.
People should adjust their expectations. Project Luminous takes place in the high republic era and EA has a game coming out as part of that transmedia project.
Whoever is the source of this (if it's true at all), probably just got High Republic confused with Old Republic. Hence, the "reimagining", which is basically what the High Republic Era is.
I've heard EA has a BUNCH of Star Wars projects in various stages of work at this point. From Jedi: Fallen Order sequels, the Project Luminous tie-in, to something on the Switch, there's a lot going on.
As long as it plays like Fallen Order, but BETTER than Fallen Order, know what I mean?I want a long sprawling story with deep customization but want it to play like Fallen Order.
