[@tevocity4673]

My conclusion with the limited info is that there is a reason to be concerned but there’s time for things to improve. Firing a Design Director and Art Director is a clear sign that Sony/Lucasfilm we’re not happy with the current state of the game and overall direction. Delaying the game indefinitely gives them time to course correct and if needed switch studios. I think saying this is being overblown and no cause for concern is very generous, I understand games are difficult to make and there’s always turmoil especially with projects this size, but with a studio who’s taking on there first large scale project having to change directors in core positions is concerning. Passion is great but if you don’t have the ability/vision you will struggle, not saying this is the case just a possibility. Overall I would feel a better if Sabre took the lead on this as they are slightly more proven and have Aspyr as a support studio.

[@100StarWars]

Delayed “indefinitely” is often a good term. That allows them to take time to improve the game without tying them down to an arbitrary release date. We all know fans will get mad to the point of forcing a release if they delay to a release date and continue to push it back.

Firing the art and design directors is an interesting move. I know a design director is responsible for more than just looks but if the problem was more than aesthetic, I would imagine the gameplay and story directors would be for the chop.

It just felt more like clickbait and stoking fears, especially when the game never had a release date but a release window (where you had a 1 in 365 chance of getting it right or 1 in 12 chance of being in the right ballpark) . Games like Security Breach certainly could have benefitted from more delays. Elder Scrolls VI and BOTW 2 are certainly being delayed more than enough times but that gives me more confidence we will get better games in the end.

To me this is bad news as usually if there are no updates within 6 months to a year, it could mean the project is cancelled and i hope there will be updates, i really need another RPG Star Wars game

[@Jwatchdizzledrip3003]

Written July 28, 2022 Actually an article by Engedget said the game will likely get released after on in 2025. This could be interpreted as good since now it’ll become a full specific next generation console game instead of catering to the ps4 as well, which could likely mean more horsepower for nicer graphics, characters models, story elements ect Tbh, I feel like Kotor remake is going to release in 2026-2027 at the latest which is only like 4-5 years from now so not a long time in retrospect, and the ps5 will still be a current console until 2028

And I almost considered smiling today. Thanks for ruining that

[@100StarWars]

Sorry bro

[@martinez206045]

on the delays are healthy and normal: Duke Nukem 3D :) also, a delay translates pretty much like this: a) there was a plan on how the project would be completed, however there were enough problems in development to derail that plan to the point where a new one is needed; (a good plan will always include some room for unforeseen problems) b) the initial plan was not good enough and did not account for all the problems that popped up so a new one is needed in order to get anywhere it is better to delay by an amount of time that allows the team to make the game properly than to rush it out, but when a delay is *needed*, that casts doubt on the overall planning capabilities of the people in charge and / or the ability of the teams involved to work together productively. had everything been going great, a delay would not have been needed. So no, a delay is not normal, it's the preferable alternative to a rushed and incomplete product.

God I hope you are right been waiting for remake for almost 2 decades

[@lucaborgese2695]

Are they doing Kotor 2 as well?

[@75JUNAKI]

I feel like they could, but maybe not as I don’t think it’s nearly as popular (I’m not sure, correct me). I feel there’s a lot of thing’s they could do when remaking, like for 1, add all the content in the vinilla game, not from mod’s and such.

[@lucaborgese2695]

See I preferred kotor 2 over kotor 1 but here's to hoping.

[@jessehorn6180]

If the Kotor Remake gets cancelled, then they might as well cancel Eclipse and be done with it!

[@brianbardel482]

Sooo... what you're saying is... the kotor remake is canceled permanently? Lol of course I'm not that obtuse.

[@mightybasedzao3057]

I’m glad you made this video I couldn’t believe this got delayed this is truly the only game I care about that’s coming out

[@BenHallow]

I'm not worried at all, as long as they are working on the game, they can take as much time as they need. I want this to be a new classic that lives on for years to come.

[@user-ly8lf1fn8x]

I hope your right I've been very sad since the Jason S article. Kotor is my all time favorite rpg and I'd love nothing more than to see it get a remake.

[@Kyfas7]

Omg! Hope! Thanks Luke! Somehow I got conditioned s that when I hear bad news about SW, I always assume it's even worse than advertised. I'm tone down my panik and patiently wait... years I guess, to see where this is going.

[@100StarWars]

That's all we can do. Everything I've said could change, it could go up or down. Only time will tell.

[@Cheshire3Cat21]

Im conflicted about this news. Aspyr did some great ports for Kotor 1 & 2 (and a bunch of other games), but they're just that. Ports. From their releases, they don’t appear to have much experience when it comes to building a game from the ground up, which this remake ultimately comes down to (new models, graphics, systems, UI. The stuff that's already taken care of is either from a narrative standpoint and maybe a few other bits and pieces like game direction). Firing these people is either great or terrifying news for the remake. I really, really hope they give it the love it deserves and that this is simply a delay, and it will in fact not be scrapped, because often when it comes to this kind of corporate speak, a delay like this can really be all or nothing. Hopefully there will be news that the developers that they lost have been replaced and development gets back on track. It would be insane not to conintue given that the teaser has close to 5 million views.

[@georgesuarez8325]

My friend I'm glad to hear you're not upset when the news came out about the KOTOR remake being postponed and delayed. I agree with you that it's best that the game developers take their time in making the game instead of it being rushed into production. Hopefully it'll come out next year for the 20th anniversary of KOTOR but as long as your confident that it hasn't been canceled despite what others think

[@jessedeansocial]

Its on pause, last time I check pause was not active bud! Two leads got fired, no more progress until they figure things out, and its been delayed indefinitely.

[@100StarWars]

And I know for a fact, it's not on pause bud. Work is still being done.

[@jessedeansocial]

@@100StarWars Well, I know for a fact that many Star Wars games have not seen the light of day, it is my opinion this will be one of them, you might have heard something from a designer or media, but they don't run the show.

[@jessedeansocial]

*my opinion, excuse me

[@Thisguy2532]

I honestly was thinking it would release late 2023 like November or December around the time of Christmas, still kinda disappointed I have to wait longer, but at least we will get Jedi survivor when next year I think

[@shadownor]

As always a great video. thank you

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Some delays are inevitable, and usually it is worth the wait. Also Seasee tiin: "there haven't been battles like these since the days of the old republic."
