It would really depend on who's making it for me to be excited. What bioware in their heyday did and obsidian even more so with the sequel will be a near impossible act to follow up on for any rpg developers out there in my opinion.

Of course its going to be Bioware, who else you think EA are going to hand an RPG to? I'd be surprised if they gave it to ReSpawn tbh, but Bioware to my understanding has been working on a Star Wars Game for some time. I recall when EA first got the Star Wars license, Bioware was one of the teams listed as working on a Star Wars title. Could be the same one, who knows.

It’ll be shoehorned into being Disney canon. Which means what? No dialogue choices or sith/Jedi paths to follow?
It was better when all of it existed as its own thing with little regard of it being “canon” or not.
Extremely low expectations for this one. The force is not strong with Disney and it won’t ever be.
PS - the ios port of KOTOR is the only game I’ve ever purchased to play on my phone.

I have my doubts but even if it is true, I doubt it'll be as good as older Bioware offerings. They're a shadow of their former selves and nobody else seems to be making decent games like KOTOR anymore. Add all that to the worsening of industry practices. I have little faith.

A "reimagining"... Oh boy.

It will be very woke. And Bioware will fuck it up. Bioware is Bioware just by name now. All the talent left long ago. They should let Warhorse do it. Daniel Vavra will make sure it will be excellent
Maybe some dev should also do a Reimagining of Republic commando.
"Reimagining"? Female republic clones? Cloned from Jango Fett's secret unknown wife Jenna Fett?

I don't have any hopes for this, they'd probably fuck it up. But man, this game is great... I think it's way better than Mass Effect.

Just give it to Obsidian and Microsoft. They nailed it last time, no reason why they can't do it again

Don't trust current day Bioware handling this, nevermind Disney Lucasfilm overseeing it.
Still, Jedi Fallen Order turned out good by all accounts despite the low expectations. Maybe Disney are in damage control mode now and have mandated EA not make a crappy game so as not to further damage the brand.

If they are really going to “old republic” or “high republic” next you can bet they will retcon some stuff and add characters that weren’t there before.

I expect that to happen. Though I hope they'll keep some of the characters and concepts from the previous KOTOR games. The groundwork has been laid, all one needs is an competent and imaginative dev team to make a good game out of it.
As for the High Republic, I'm interested to see this era of Star Wars that's never been explored before. I'm still wary with how Disney is going to handle thing going forward. But as I said before, I believe they're in damage control mode now and are doing their utmost to now fuck up the brand. The Mandalorian has already won back some good will, they'd be fools to squander it.

They have basically retconned anything made before 2013 as non canon now, so if they “reimagine” it I think it will stray very far from the original source.
Similar to Battlefront 2 vs Battlefront II

And look at what happened when Disney strayed far the original source with the sequel trilogy.
We got The Last Jedi.
Like I said, damage control mode. It still hasn't been confirmed but I think this new KOTOR project could be an effort to bring back fans to Star Wars games.

Literally the game that got me into RPG. Never enjoyed them before.

Got Kotor 1, halo 1 and project Gotham racing 2 when I brought my original xbox. Loved all 3. I hope this is true.

All that content (esp the voice acting) would fill out a single-player experience nicely.
And by that I mean -- knowing EA -- a core sp experience that receives 3-5 paid "expansions" over the lifespan of the title.

I have no faith in Bioware's ability, or that Disney won't shoe-horn their bullshit into this.

It still amazes me David Gaider who wrote that game completely sperged out and wrote all that trash that was Dragon Age 2

I'm sure his lucky "white tears" cup will also ensure the success of the Kotor remake as it did for Andromeda. Maybe they can make "face tiredness" a dark side force power.

I can't wait for EA/Disney to absolutely destroy this part of Star Wars too. Universally acclaimed Kotor becomes universally panned filler-tier trash.
Respawn did a commendable job with Jedi: Fallen Order, but I have no faith in Bioware. During the early days when Mass Effect and Dragon age were being made Bioware was an entirely different place. By Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 the writing was already on the wall, and Mass Effect 3 and Inquisition were pale shadows of what they should have been based on how they started. Now Bioware is a husk.
I hope Disney goes more in the Mandalorian or Rogue One direction (gritty, somber, violent) and not the sequel trilogy/Rebels/Resistance/comics direction (retarded) if they go ahead and dredge this back up.

I played and completed KOTOR 1 and 2 for the first time last year and they were wonderful. I doubt any modern interpretation would see a character like Kreia. On recent evidence neither Bioware nor Obsidian have the chops for it.

Yeah and with EA involves this could potentially be really bad.

First one was great, second one not so much.
Second one was shite compared to the first.Just give it to Obsidian and Microsoft. They nailed it last time, no reason why they can't do it again

Don't know about that, Mass Effect was great, even the third with the BS endings.
Unless you specifically refer only to Anthem with that statement I guess.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Never actually played the game, mostly because I'm pretty indifferent to Star Wars. Something tells me that whenever I do get around to it, though, I should probably just stick to the original.

How about Obsidian made Xbox exclusive (now that they own them).

That vile PoS returning to Bioware would most likely be the final straw to completely kill the studio off.

I must disagree there. The story is far better and Kreia is an amazing character. It's such an interesting take on the star wars universe.

If done right I'd definitely love to see the franchise return. Hell, even if it isn't as good as the original I would still enjoy a competent single player Star Wars RPG.
But I don't really know who could do it. Obsidian is with MS now, CDPR are doing their own thing, Larian is doing Baldur's Gate, Bethesda is probably hard at work making sure Starfield is only half broken and has the visuls of a top tier 2012 game, and """"Bioware""""" is, well, """"Bioware"""""

I'm ok with Jedi and Sith but do something different.
Let's see more alien Force Users ffs. Look at the Rakata for example.
Also SW canon needs to show off new Force powers. As poopy as TLJ was I will at least give Roundhead credit for showcasing new abilities.
