    So they shut down the fan remaster because there’s an official remake, then that gets canned?

    Bastards.

    Somewhere in another reality

    Because… Larian has acquired the rights to make a new old republic game in the style of BG3

    Personally, and I say this as a huge fan of KotOR, I don’t see any point what so ever in a remake. The original is not so dated that it’s unplayable. And unlike Baldur Gate which got the enhanced edition I don’t think KotOR needs that boost to be played by younger players.

      I just ran through it on switch a little while back and it’s perfectly playable and enjoyable!

      It’s never worked for me too well on PC. If I recall it doesn’t have native widescreen support or something. It made the UI difficult to navigate. I love the game and played it on Xbox originally, but typically gave up tweaking it on PC. Was looking forward to the remake; I’d pay for the convenience. But I get what you’re saying.

    Aw man. A buddy knew a guy working this.

    Said he was super excited to do so. Dude was pretty damn bummed when he got the stop-work :( such a shame
