Title: Did You Miss Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic the First Time?
Post by: Gusington on September 09, 2021, 03:44:39 PM
I did. I'm not proud. Wanted to play the game when it came out but didn't have a PC at the time. But now...

I've owned it for years and never played it, due to shiny things being somewhere else constantly.

......

....welp, looks like it's time to order a remake!  :D

You know, I've had it for years but have only played it for a few hours like donkeys ago.  I've been thinking of giving it a try just recently, though.  I've heard it's a fantastic game with a great story.

^That's the word on the street...a classic.

1 donkey = 3.5 years?

Had to deretire for a while to train the next production manager at my family's ex-factory (or words to that effect). ;)

A lot of my prior posting came while degaussing my brain at work between juggling cats (metaphorically), or after work in the office, although in the final year or two the various stresses of transitioning the business over reduced that a lot; and then after retiring I had more time. But now for a while I have less time again (and can't post in between work at work), and not much energy to do non-work with after 'work' work. ;)

Anyway, all's good here, just can't focus on Grogheads atm. Thanks for asking tho!  O:-)

It is my favorite Star Wars story, and while it's true I'm not a huge fan of the movies like some people, I'm enough of a fan to have seen several of them.

And yes, a great game to boot, even as dated as it is.

I have heard of, but never played, and apparently this one is also coming for PC as well.

Might be worth a looksie.

Where did you see the PC confirmation?

On Sony's blog, the developer says that Knights of the Old Republic Remake will be a "console exclusive on PlayStation 5 at launch." Lucasfilm Games later confirmed that the game will come to PC. VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb later reported that KOTOR will release on PC on the same date as console.

The original was a PC classic, seems really dumb to make it a console exclusive at launch.  Sony must have shilled the big bucks for that deal.  ::)

I remember the original being on X-Box, but I don't think it ever made it to Playstation, which makes this whole deal quite ironic.

The remake has indefinitely been delayed....sounds like after some previews, management didn't like and fired some people.  Seems to be a question if/when it will ever happen now..not looking good

I guess that's not surprising with a game of such scope and complexity.  That sucks to hear.

Yeah - don't know if I will ever play it now :/

The original is on GOG and Steam. You could do your 20-year-younger self a favor and grab a copy.

I have a digital copy somewhere but for a 20+ year old game, I don't think I could 'go home' you know? It's just too old.

Yeah, that version of the game is so old that you pay for things in farthings and ha'pennies, rather than credits...
