Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Announced For PS5

From PSU: "Lucasarts Games has revealed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake for PS5 from developer Aspyr. Though little was shown of the game beyond a brief pre-rendered trailer which showcased Darth Revan, the main villain of the game, but the very fact that the KOTOR remake exists and is coming to PS5, is enough to get us (and probably everyone else) extremely excited."

RaidenBlack984d ago

This and the Marvel duo were my favorite teasers of the presentation.

RpgSama984d ago

Having KOTOR a game that was and is a synonym of Xbox and has never been in a PlayStation System be a Launch Exclusive for PS5 is a HUGE win for Sony.

PapaBop984d ago

Those three announcements were huge. Marvel and Star Wars are by far the biggest IPs around and will shift tons of consoles. If they stay true to the KOTOR story, it's going to be an amazing treat for anyone who doesn't know Darth Revan's story. Wasn't sure how big of a deal the presentation would be but Sony absolutely killed it.

I nearly had a heart attack...man I can't wait!

neutralgamer1992984d ago

This is huge very smart move by Sony. They will have star wars, god of war next year, spiderman in 2023 and wolverine in 2024. These are all huge IP's and To have them exclusive is big boast for the brand

UltraNova984d ago

Do we know if KotOR is PS exclusive though?

darthv72984d ago

@Nova, no idea but it isnt like xbox owners cant play kotor already. It is bc on the series and xbo systems. and looks really good in the process (not remake good but almost remaster good)

nix984d ago

And as usual GOTY nominees is going to be ruled by PS exclusive games every year.

KillBill984d ago

@UltraNova - you would think if it was that Sony would be screaming it out loud. Not subtly just mentioning PS5 and PC availability.

neutralgamer1992984d ago

Ultra bill

It's launch exclusive on playstation

Lucasfilm Games has confirmed that the KOTOR remake will be coming to PC at the same time as PS5. Sony's used console exclusive at launch

Finally! Not only is it finally coming to PlayStation but we can also enjoy the remake on PC with better controls!!

Lets fucking go!!

Bladesfist985d ago

Is it confirmed on PC? It's my favourite game of all time, please come to PC.

Flakegriffin984d ago

@Sayai jin

Timed exclusive for PS5 and will also be on PC.

CaptainHenry916984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

It's confirmed It's a PC/PS5 ONLY exclusive. I'll be playing it on PC. They mentioned it on Twitter but I don't know if the PC version is releasing the same day as the PS5

porkChop984d ago

@Captain

It's a "console launch" exclusive. That means PS5 is the only console it'll be on at launch. It's coming to PC on day one. Obviously Xbox at a later date. Console launch exclusives aren't new, we know how they work.

CaptainHenry916984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

@porkChop

If that's true it's probably like the Forspoken deal. Sony has a two year time exclusive deal with Square Enix. So I'm sure they made the same deal with Lucusfilm for Star Wars. Which is still a long time for a Xbox release. I hope it releases day one on PC though. 4K 120fps or 1440p 120fps

It’s amusing right? Down votes due to misunderstanding the comment. People think I’m taking a stab at PS but I’m a PS fan myself. I’m just excited to play it with better controls. Like Mass Effect remaster.

Mass Effect 1 controls aged TERRIBLY but when they remastered it, it was so much better to control and play. People just have too much hate in their hearts to read between the lines.

I heard about this awhile ago but I figured it would get canceled or something. I'm so glad it didn't but I can't wait to see gameplay.

TheColbertinator985d ago

I will wait for the PC version but this is amazing. Fantastic news.

CaptainHenry916984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

TBH it should release on Xbox too unless Sony made a big deal or something. They had to give them a lot of money to keep it a PS5/PC exclusive

Orchard984d ago

Sony lists it as a 'console launch exclusive', that means:

- It's coming to PC day 1
- It will be on other consoles in the future

CaptainHenry916984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

I agree with you but the only thing is a Sony developer is developing the remake. It says Sony helped develop the remake. If it was a remaster I would believe it would come to all consoles right? It's confusing.

neutralgamer1992984d ago

Captain

That's business bro companies pay to keep games timed exclusives

--Onilink--984d ago

@Captain

Aspyr is not a Sony Developer, they are owned by Saber Interactive I believe. Sony is probably the publisher on PS5

PapaBop984d ago

As I said to my friend, while Sony and Microsoft duke it out, us PC gamers are just reaping the rewards. PS5 is still the console to own but PC gamers are getting the best of both worlds.

Orchard984d ago

@Papabop

Hell yes. The two of them wanting to expand in the PC space is a win for PC gamers who used to miss out on these MS/Sony 1st party experiences.

InUrFoxHole984d ago

@behindtherows
Even better. He got down voted because people hold grudges about video games. Lol

Darkborn984d ago

@onilink the aspyr guy said a studio at playstation is helping them develop the game.

Orchard984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

@Darkborn It’s clearly coming to non-PS consoles or Sony would call it a “PS console exclusive” rather than a “PS console launch exclusive”.

Console launch exclusive = its coming to other consoles later.

Saber Interactive CEO Says KOTOR Remake Is 'Alive and Well'

IGN:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is one of gaming's most elusive projects. But we finally have a real, concrete update on what's going on.

Saber Interactive is still working on it, and according to the CEO, it's "alive and well."

CobraKai48d ago

It was announced in 2021 and there hasn’t been so much as a screen shot. Hopefully it is alive but i dunno if it’s actually well

Eonjay47d ago

I'm just happy this game didn't die in the deadly Embrace like so many others.

CrimsonWing6948d ago

I’ll believe it when I see it.

SimpleSlave48d ago

As long as it's not AssPyre doing this, there's still some hope.

*Takes a look at the games Saber Interactive have developed...

Oh, fu...

RNTody48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

What's the point of this comment from the CEO without a screenshot of the game in progress or announcement of a trailer? It's been a long time since the announcement and absolutely nothing to show for it which is not a good sign.

I was beyond hyped when this was announced, but I've long accepted the reality that it's not going to happen, unless something concrete is shown.

Compare this to Delta Snake Eater which has more than shown its existence off.

KwietStorm_BLM47d ago

Showing a screenshot doesn't prove or disprove it's development status. With everything that's happened with Aspyr, the last thing they want to do right now is show a product that isn't ready for public viewing. The reason the CEO spoke up is because of the game being in the news recently. Metal Gear is an entirely different situation and has no correlation other than being a remake.

Snookies12235d ago

R.I.P.? So sad, if it's actually getting cancelled after switching developers... This has always been one of my most wanted remakes in all of gaming. Been wanting a remake for Knights of the Old Republic for so damn long.

CobraKai235d ago

I read somewhere it was due to music licensing but I honestly feel it’s more than that. Things aren’t looking good with the devs switching and now this.

Hopefully they surprise us all and deliver a new trailer but i will be disappointed if a remake to one of the greatest SW games of all time gets canned.

Obscure_Observer235d ago

@CobraKai

"I read somewhere it was due to music licensing but I honestly feel it’s more than that."

Right after Ryan´s sudden retirement announcement.

ApocalypseShadow235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

Obscure. Your comment is ridiculous. But what else is new.

Was Sony making it? No. Tell the truth for once. Jim is 63 years old. The interesting part is that Sony has changed CEOs multiple times and still whooped Microsoft's ass. When should he retire? Go play Star Field.

ZeekQuattro235d ago

Apparently a lot has changed in the last 124 days since the its not dead yet piece. Oh well guess I'll be seeing a Matt McMuscles Wha Happun video on this game sooner rather than later.

sparky77235d ago

It's for the best it would have failed anyway without the original team.

I do wonder how many millions Sony wasted on this.

rbailey235d ago

I guess the force wasn't strong with this one lol

KOTOR Remake Is Still In Development Despite Rumors Of Cancelation

KOTOR Remake is still in development, destroying the rumors that suggested towards its cancelation. Release date is currently not known.

meanmallard360d ago

This is typical.

The developers said that when the first project was canceled which was a simple port of the game the new project was using an internal team and was going to be much larger in scope.

Again the whole rumor was spread by people who only read the negative articles or simply ignored what had been said and didn't read or report what Embracer actually said about the game at the time.

Becuzisaid360d ago

I think people are just dumb and don't know what the word indefinite means. Doesn't mean it will never come out people.

SullysCigar359d ago

Lots of negative rumours around at the moment, trying to stir crap up. Same few suspects pushing them, without repercussions. Great to hear KOTOR is still on it's way, though, as Tales From the Galaxy's Edge has me hooked on Star Wars again!
