KOTOR HD remake

Recommended Posts

I'm almost completely positive that this is all BS.

The initial trailer for this mod only showed a compilation of Various Kotor trailers and early pre-release footage. Hell, it even included a moment from JediShemLs "Revan Kisses Bastila" video, which shows several different mods from Sheml.

One of their videos lets you hear a brand new remastered piece of music for the game/mod/whateverthehellthisis, accompanied by pictures of various different mods that can be found on Kotorfiles. Ironically, some of which show the game at low graphical settings.

Their channel also has two visual comparison videos, comparing the original game to the "remastered" counterpart. I'm 99% that all that's being compared here are the games low graphical settings and high graphical settings. 

Is this supposed to be for the Xbox version, or what?

They're also planning to add new plants and, above all things, multiplayer to this? Pfffft

I mean, if this ends up being something fantastic with multiplayer actually being part of the game one day, I'll be amazed, but what I'm seeing so far is ridiculously unconvincing.

You are all right of course. When I first saw this (back around August) I was extremely skeptical that any of their ambitions could come to fruition. In their video they are extremely apologetic for misleading the public for who knows how long, saying they now realise the limitations of their abilities and the game's engine (duh?). But in all honestly that should have been STEP 1.

I wonder if their claims about online multiplayer was from looking at some of the 2da files and thinking they could do something - of course they ended up not being able to.

Not a shock at all. These guys clearly didn't have any experience in the gaming field. Anyone in a modding community knows perfectly well how these projects take so much time and effort. This project was too ambitious for their optimistic release date. Setting a release date was their biggest mistake, but setting it so early was just foolish.

 

And yeah, mix in all the legal issues and whatnot.

 

I say leave the remastering to the people that know the game the best, the original devs (or a legit company), or the modding community. :)
