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."
The weird thing about these remakes is that they keep cutting and remixing content from the originals with mixed results. Resident Evil 3 was a good example as it’s almost a whole new vision for the game (I do acknowledge this came with a lot of shortcomings).
When I think about what Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth has done, I understand that it’s a sequel that turns the remake genre on its head. I think this is a more interesting way of approaching it.
When people debate whether it’s good or bad is almost a moot point. If someone “remade” Devil May Cry and it was a top down turn based RPG like FF tactics, I wouldn’t care as long as it’s good. ( I didn’t hate D.M.C. and it’s weirdly 2000cool aesthetics)
I may or may not buy the new one, I just want the option to buy the old one too.
