Comment on Farewell, BioWare: The End of an RPG Giant

KOTOR was one of my favorite games of all time. Why don’t they make games like that anymore?
nice touch interviewing the emulator devs instead of just running benchmarks. One question: on the 3DS the top screen is 400x240 and the bottom one 320x240, so they differ in width. Does the duo use two identical panels and letterbox the bottom image, or do the emulators handle it some other way?
I think everyone hoped for a nice modern KOTOR game, and it would have been so nice to see it. I guess Star Wars had a license change, and for so long EA just wanted a certain kind of game instead :(
Wasn’t it announced? What happens to it?
The KotOR remake is still supposedly in development at Saber, but they’ve been radio silent on it. They are also fresh off of being acquired and have way too many concurrent projects. I expect news of its eventual cancellation any day now. That or they rush out a half-assed port with a bit of lens flare to capitalize on the Bioware void.
At the same time, Casey Hudson from Bioware spun up a studio last year to begin working on Fate of the Old Republic, which is intended to be a successor to KotOR. I wouldn’t expect to see that project come out for a while longer, but at least there’s a second project in the same realm if the first one doesn’t work out.

Because companies don’t believe games like this are worth the risk.
