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.

    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.

        Exactly, all I'm saying is that there are people out there that enjoy re-imagining or updating of good content. The numbers don't lie, and people enjoying something you criticize doesn't make them stupid.

        Both new IP and remakes can co-exist. I agree companies want to take the less risky option, but content creation (both in games and movies) has become more accessible than ever.

        i played the originals, there both in my like top 20, and yes would absolutely love to play a remake, just not when that opportunity is given to a company only known for a few remasters (not remakes) /shitty ports, and little to no visible experience building a game from the ground up.

        to be blunt Sony asking Aspyr was like asking a 4 star house painter from yelp to restore/remake the sistine chapel.

      Some people want new games rather than rehashes. Game companies only make so many games. Each remake is a new game that wasn't.

        And some of us were really excited to play this. And now we have a game that wasn’t.

        Not all games that release have to be what you want. Some can be what I want too.
