As a kid I would pretend to create my own lightsaber out of wrapping paper rolls and this game was letting me customize my own. I was so excited to finally create my hero and explore the galaxy, making the choices I wanted to. “When KOTOR was released it married those two passions brilliantly. One set me on my career path, the other kick-started my love of storytelling,” says Treadwell. “When I was 9, my parents did two things that were incredibly impactful: they bought me my first video game console - an original Gameboy - and they sat me down to watch a VHS copy of A New Hope. The characters were speaking to me in full VO and reacting to my choices, whether I was going light side or dark. “When I first put in KOTOR and saw that the camera was pulled down to ground level and I could look up at the skyscrapers of Taris, I really felt that I’d been put in the world in a way that I never had before.
It wasn’t until I started playing KOTOR that I really understood how cinematic they could be,” Kellogg tells. I started on the Apple IIC and played all the BioWare games. Orion Kellogg, executive producer at Lucasfilm Games, and Ryan Treadwell, lead producer at Aspyr, consider Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (known to fans as KOTOR) among those rare works. Their genre, the art form, what we think a game could be. As you play through the game, you make choices which determine whether you're a goodly Jedi or a badly Sith, and also there's a robot everyone loves.There are some video games that seem to change everything. BioWare's RPG launched in 2003 and takes place four thousand years prior to the Star Wars films. Knights Of The Old Republic is the most beloved of the Star Wars bunch, though. (Update: Lucasfilm Games confirmed on Twitter that it was coming to PC.)Īspyr have a long history of porting Star Wars games, including recently bringing Jedi Knight to Switch and previously porting KOTOR to mobile. Knights Of The Old Republic Remake will be "console exclusive on PlayStation 5 at launch" according to the PlayStation blog, which normally doesn't prevent it from launching simultaneously on PC. He also said that it would be some time before they're ready to show anymore. He clarified that it's not a remaster, but a full remake built "from the ground up." The aim is to "honour the original story" while delivering much higher fidelity graphics. Aspyr Media lead producer Ryan Treadwell appeared on the livestream post-show to talk up the game some more.
