I'd really like Larian to do their own thing and not be an IP slave to WOTC and Sony/Disney though. I loved BG3 but want them to continue making OC. There's so much rehashed stuff these days, having original content is just so...uncommon in the AAA and AA spaces.
Divinity? Isn't that their IP
That’s what they’re saying, they don’t want Larian to become the studio that only reboots old popular RPGs
It is! They said they are focusing on smaller projects right now- stuff they are excited to work on. Hopefully, that's more OC. Good shit either way, though. Larian's past few games have been solid.
Another game the size and scope of BG3 would probably kill the company, and I can tell people would expect them to make a KOTOR remake of the same size.
Their source is a reporter at Giant Bomb? GameSpot and Giant Bomb are owned by the same company.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have much faith in this remake, but citing the opinion of a guy who works for your sister company doesn't seem like proper journalism.
It's terrible journalism. If you skimmed past the first couple short paragraphs, the quotes from Jeff Grub (their "source") read like he's an insider at Aspyr or Embracer. In reality, the article is just linking to a 1.5 hour news podcast and quoting the host. The article doesn't even try to summarize Jeff's basis for his opinion, and the only quote they have from an actual insider is, essentially, "no comment."
Yeah I was real confused, I've not listened to the podcast but how would Jeff even know?
Are they? I know CBS used to own them both but GB got sold on a few years ago, around the time the Giant Bomb guys left (Vinny, Brad, Jeff Gerstmann, etc).
Either way, I'm confused as to how a simple guess from Grubb could be constituted as actual sourced news. What an odd article.
Yeah, they're both subsidiaries of Fandom
Gaming journalism being an incestuous pit of incompetent buffoons? No way.
Does anyone really still expect a clean ,better than the original, unmonitzed remake from EA? This is probably for the best
We just got a pretty good Dead Space remake, so maybe
sigh of relief
I don't, but the original has so many bugs and issues on my PC that I've never been able to finish it.
You sure you're not thinking Kotor2?
Nope, Kotor 1. Not sure why, but ended up with massive asset loading issues on some planets, and the worlds ended up bugged out as hell.
thats the obsidian experience
"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, KOTOR Remake… and yet you are nothing.“
Was really looking forward to this one.
Everyone was. You'd think this would be a no-brainer remake.
We were this close to greatness
I'm both disappointed and relieved. I love KotOR and was intrigued by what they would come up with, but I'm also quite sure it would have missed the mark in the end. It would've been nigh-impossible to recapture the magic. Shame this killed the fan-remake, though. We ended up with the worst of both options.
I thought this was too ambitious to come out.
I was literally just thinking today how much fun this would be to play once it's out and now I'm sad.
Day ruined :(
Meh, this probably would have been a terrible remake anyway.
Boooooooo
