Saber Interactive? The cucks that fucked up Snowrunner by emphasizing DLC development over actually fixing the fucking thing?

This game is out of the toilet and into the shit frying pan.

Sony needs to get a real developer on this.

 

[ManaByte]

I genuinely hope the story mode is good. I've put off playing too much of this game until it comes out.

I played through what story there was in the first preview release and up to where it ended it was a traditional great Obisidian story.

This guy's work has clearly declined, ever since he stopped running around wearing a goalie mask all the time.

Its a shame. KOTOR is still my favorite Star Wars game, was really rooting for this studio to pull a rabbit from the hat and deliver a decent remake, but as it looks like, this will probably turn into vaporware now.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I'm going to blame this on Kathleen Kennedy. Everything Star Wars has been shit, since she took over.

 

[64bitmodels]

now i just wanna play the originals

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

 

[SlimySnake]

What the actual fuck man?

lol what were they doing in the office for the last 2 years? giving each other blowjobs? how do you miss a date by 3 years?

 

[64bitmodels]

at this point Sony might as well just get bluepoint to do a simple remaster
also, port it to PC. The original came out on PC so you might as well leave it there

 

[TheMan]

god fucking dammit

 

[93xfan]

Right above this thread was a last of us remake read.

 

[Valedix]

This is what happens when you reveal a game with a CGI trailer and post no updates for over a year.

 

[fatmarco]

I mean, this game should have never been an exclusive to Playstation lol. The audacity of the idea of one of the most iconic Xbox games being remade exclusively for something else. It's a kind of hubris.

It is funny how this sort of thing has happened before though. Both Resident Evil 1 and Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes being exclusive for GameCube, and not releasing on Playstation 2 is still outrageous.

 

[EDMIX]

This isn't exclusive to PlayStation....

The KOTOR remake is coming to PC, too

It's official - the KOTOR remake is also on the way to PC

Funny enough, it wasn't exclusive to XBOX either so.......yea.

Do some of you just live in this console warring bubble or something? lol

fucking sad...

Kotor 1 was exclusive to the Xbox initially, it was built around that console, and then it came out later that year on PC. This game is (was) releasing exclusively on Playstation then later on PC ("“a console exclusive on PlayStation 5 at launch”).

And I feel PC doesn't count in these sorts of discussions. No one goes around saying God of War, Uncharted, Halo, Gears etc. are multiplatform games because they're on PC now do they.

For further perspective, games like Final Fantasy VII and VIII released on PC a year after their console launch. Are they not considered Playstation exclusives? Same goes with games like the original Metal Gear Solid etc. Imagine if Xbox had had the same timed exclusivity with the remake of Final Fantasy VII? It would be stupid.

Phil Spencer is a genius!

Give it to 343

Well shit.

the irony

 

[Bernardougf]

I guess this opens up the budget for a ps5 Pro remake of The Last of Us

Dont joke like that ... you will bring up the nd crayziessss in here

 

[M1chl]

What the actual fuck man?

 

[Madflavor]

On the one hand this sucks to hear, on the other hand I can't help but feel like they're gonna ruin the remake anyways.

 

[jigglet]

It was a mistake letting Aspyr develop this game in the first place.

Should have given it to Namco Singapore.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Man this really blows, because I have never played the original game and hoped that the Remake could be a good way of entry for me and play it.
Gutted to hear this.

I'm not as bummed as you but I was definitely looking forward to trying out the remake someday, for the same reason (never played the original; a remake often brings gameplay and QoL enhancements)

 

[Iced Arcade]

OG Xbox game coming to PS6... Year 2

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Can we all take a step away from the console warring to agree that Disney Star Wars has been an utter shit-show? They went from a 10 year exclusive licence for EA to deliver fuck-all from an IP that should have printed money, to farming out the remake of arguably the best SW game ever to a team way out of their depth.

FFS, how is the Mouse this bad at this?

 

[AJUMP23]

I played the original loved it, I am good with that.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Only on NeoGAF can a third party game be used as motivation and fuel with how one constructs their posts in the great console war.

When the OG fuck up is Disney, and always has been Disney.

 

[ANDS]

THEY. HAVE. NEVER. MADE. A. GAME.

All they've done is port old console games to modern consoles and port PC games to the Mac. They're just a port house.

I mean. . .so was BLUEPOINT and they were able to hit it out of the park on their first crack. Perhaps that is the difference here: a stronger guiding hand (I say thing having zero knowledge about who above ASPYR is handling decision making for this title).

 

[Javthusiast]

Moral of the story? Hire competent studios for beloved game remakes.

Thier Aspyrations were greater than thier talent.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

The fact that Sam Maggs was hired to write for the game was the second clue that development was a clusterfuck.

Well both Battlefront games sold over 40mil combined, and Jedi Fallen Order was selling better than Battlefront 1 for the first few months (according to EA), so Fallen Order is probably another 10mil on top of that at least.
50+mil sales is pretty close to printing money for 3 games to be fair.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

How are the Switch versions today? Worth playing if i never played the originals?

 

[BadBurger]

The game was announced ten months ago, but does anyone know when development actually began?

3 games over 10 years for an IP like Star Wars ,from a publisher as big as EA is fuck all IMO. Especially when one of them pissed people off so bad governments started to take notice.

I have no doubt they turned a profit, but they left a shit ton on the table.

To be fair they didnt get the full 10 year exclusivity license, i think it was more like 6 years. EA and Disney fell out over Battlefront 2 if you remember, and they lost the exclusivity licrense.
I also forgot about that Rebel Squadran flying game too EA did, it sold decently from what i can tell.
So yeah its more like 6 years, 4 games, 50+mil sales.

I get your point though, i wanted more games, and more genres like a new Jedi Knight, SW rpg, open world adventure game, etc.

 

[DeepEnigma]

And she was promptly let go.

 

[ByWatterson]

Super crazy that a port studio with no history of creating anything is failing at one of the most high-profile projects of the most complicated era of game development.

Absolutely mental.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Demons souls remake this and release it for 40$.

 

[SeasonedInTheAbyss]

Not surprising, this remake could easily pass 200-500 million budget. And nobody wants to screw it up.

 

[skit_data]

Big oof, what a disaster. I wish I could’ve seen the reaction from Lucasfilm and Sony that led to this, sounds like something similar to the reaction of the ”first version” of what would become GoW 2018 but way way worse.

 

[Doczu]

Maybe they uncovered more woke activists trying to ruin it for everyone. Like that writer they fired earlier. Let's hope it can be salvaged..

What writer?

And saw that when they announced who makes it. Way over their head

 

[StealthGoblin]

This is why Sony either need to buy or create an RPG team. Bring the quality in house and manage it from there.

 

[Roufianos]

Obsidian would have been perfect, but they are owned by Microsoft. Still makes absolutely no sense why an original Xbox game is getting a remaster/remake on PlayStation. It would be similar to having FF7 Remake be a Xbox exclusive.

Well apparently Microsoft were given the option but pulled out. That's what MrMattyPlays heard anyway.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Oh look, every console manufacturer makes mistakes.....

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Oh well, good riddance, perhaps.

Maybe we just make KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 canon!?

Hell yeah, that would be the ticket!

And a UFO landing on the White House lawn will also happen tomorrow.

 

[Pallas]

My most anticipated PS6 game.
