Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 This video makes a pretty good case that Aspyr is the mystery developer that Jason Schreier recently suggested is making the new Star Wars title that will be set in either The Old Republic or the High Republic.

Asypr Media is primarily a port house that specializes in developing Mac versions of PC titles. They also made the iOS version of KOTOR. They were acquired by THQ-Nordic's parent company earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Not sure I'd want an unproven developer tackling a project of these magnitude and importance. Remember when the team that had only done the multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 was assigned to do all of Mass Effect Andromeda? Look how that turned out. That being said, the idea of a Knights of the High Republic game that takes the ideas of KoToR, and is basically a modern reimagining of that series, and now canon (with hopefully real time combat) is an exciting one. I just hope the team that would do it is a good team, and could pull it off, like say the original BioWare, or Obsidian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Eurogamer confirms that Aspyr is remaking the original Knights of the Old Republic Quote The unannounced Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake will be developed by renowned port studio Aspyr. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier revealed the detail while a guest on the MinnMax podcast. It follows earlier whispers of a KOTOR remake which have swirled for some time, and which also suggested the project wasn't being handled internally by EA or original studio BioWare. Eurogamer has separately heard of Aspyr's involvement, and that while the developer is known for often releasing straight ports, work is currently underway to make the project more of a remake instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I just replayed the original. It doesn't really need a remake. The sequel needs a remaster adding in the cut story content mod and clean up some bugs and glitches. But maybe this will lead to a remaster of the second one (or remake I guess?).

The PC original version is a hot mess performance-wise, a lot of the systems and interface suck ass, odd production with weird camera angle choices and cutaways / voice acting, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today the alien languages specifically are a bit of a problem, because they only had a handful of recorded sound bites. So you’d hear the same “phrases” quite a lot.

I didn't run into one issue. But that was my playthrough, perhaps for others that sounds likely with an older game. 55 minutes ago, Spawn_of_Apathy said: may the time yeah.

Keyser_Soze Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Well I think we are thinking on two different levels here. He wasn't talking about the quality of voice acting (as I was saying) but the PC version had an odd production choice with voice acting, which others say is because of a small selection of alien languages, which isn't a "problem" (I don't think it is that big of a problem) exclusive to the PC version. My friends and I still quote that Twilek language all the time because it was so limited "Ashootah!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I think it could probably use a fresh coat of paint, for sure. I thought it played alright the last time it played it (probably over a decade ago), but there are things that could be improved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The human voices are pretty good, though they all have the same weird tone to them all, I don’t know how to explain it. But yeah I can hear the alien phrases in my head lol. I recently played through it as well and I just was surprised to find that someone could play through it and be like nope, this game is good to go, no remake needed.
