New KOTOR game being developed...and it's not by EA!

ubisoft ea and bethesda

cant pick a worse lot than that

I like to take a moment and re-share my love affair with KOTOR. I bought my first Xbox out of a pawn shop (Poverty PSR in effect) and I recall trying to talk them down in price, something I did, and continue to do all the time. The guy wasn't budging, but what he did do was toss in a game (you know where this is going). Well... that game sat, and sat, and sat. I was a Star Wars fan, but as I told the pawn shop guy, I was not a role-playing game fan. I actually hated those games for the most part, because I felt like it took my true power away as a gamer.

One day out of pure boredom, I put it in. I was blown away how immersive the world in which this game pulled me in to. Giving me the option of what to do, and how it affected the ENTIRE game... I just couldn't believe it. It was so addicting... I played it both good and bad side. My wife, who watched me, did the same. When playing dark side, I actually felt bad for the decisions I made, especially since I played light side the first time, and saw how my earlier actions had benefited total strangers, vs, "No need to thank me, I'll just take all your money instead." This game had one of video games most classic surprise endings.

Ugh Ubisoft is not much better.

Playstation just announced a KOTOR remake.

I'm not trying to, hopefully they do it justice.

Btw this came out today, the first episode is lit.

The first episode theme-wise has been done numerous times in the past, ie Westerns and Chinese warriors.  That being said... it was pretty darn awesome.

Btw...

I figured as much. But if its not canon, it would have been kewl to make them somebody we knew.

Yeah, I mentioned it.  I think I also mentioned that one has to be cautious with that label.  If the original team was 25 people, and 3 guys are working on this project, its kinda disingenuous to say, "From the makers of Left For Dead!"
