There is reportedly a new Knights of the Old Republic game in the works at Lucasfilms Games. We don’t know much about it, such as whether it’ll be a remake of the first game, a full blown third game or even a spinoff. The only thing we do know is that it’s coming and it won’t be made by EA.
I’m anticipated this ever since the announced confidence of the Star Wars game developers and I’m equally as excited as I am worried.
I’m excited as I loved the first 2 games greatly. They’re probably the best Star Wars games out there and a new game makes me wonder if the KOTOR storyline will return to canon after the reckoning of Disney.
I’m worried because we still don’t know how it’ll turn out. Recent RPGs haven’t been all that great because most of them think that giving a player to choose an item with a higher number is all the depth they need. For all we know, it could be a remake that completely alters the story for the worse and makes the progression a tedious chore.
All we can do now is hope that it’ll be in good hands and that it’ll turn out as a game both old fans of KOTOR and new players can enjoy.

Huh. I never played the originals, but I’ve heard good things; I’d be down to try this out! Here’s hoping it’s good!

I wouldn't get your hopes up. There was a fan remake of the original titled Apeiron, that, apparently, was only a few months away from finished. Then they got canned with a Cease and Desist order. To quote a certain Director, We were this close! We were on the verge of greatness!

Please can studios just stick with remasters already? I don’t want a decent game series being screwed up just to cash in on a new generation of gamers. By all means rerelease Battlefront 1/2 with decent graphics and new maps, but given how much hype there would be for ‘battlefront 3’ given the infamous leaked footage of what the original would have looked like, anything will go down like a lead balloon just like the shoddy EA reboots did. Same with KOTOR.

There’s a second one?
