KOTOR 2 Getting 20 New Crowd-Sourced Achievements

Soon after the game’s update and new platform launch in July, Aspyr rep Michael Blair made a call out to the Steam community for pitches on what they thought would make for fun new achievements. The thread garnered over 200 comments with lots of unique and creative ideas. After much deliberation and careful vetting (to make sure a suggested achievement was technically valid), Aspyr has now selected 20 of their favorites that will be turned into actual Steam achievements!

Spoilers of the Achievments are in the above link!

As well as the game now also being available for Mac, SteamOS / Linux, there is a substantial update for all platforms for the first time in years.

This includes

• Support for up to 5K resolution
• Widescreen Support
• Controller Support
• Steam Achievements
• Steam Cloud
• Steam Workshop Support - including Sith Lords Restored Content Mod -- a mode that completes KOTOR 2, which had missing chunks at launch and Story elements

Edit - Update and Workshop content is now available

 

[Queen of Hunting]

Oh article said it has

 

[SargerusBR]

5K is a thing?

 

[Rosur]

Cool, wonder if they will do this to the original as well

 

[Nzyme32]

Surprised they didnt add steam achievements too

They did, I forgot to add that haha

 

[anexanhume]

That's really great. Such a great game, even it being rushed withstanding.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Any idea which team did this work?

 

[Jigorath]

That's awesome.

Best Star Wars game ever made.

 

[topplehat]

5K is a thing?

I guess it is, one of the iMac models has it.

I wonder if this news also means the iOS version is right around the corner.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

They did, I forgot to add that haha

Hehe just saw that lol

 

[Durante]

Everyone should play this now, no excuses.

 

[Mifec]

5K is a thing?

Why wouldn't it be?

 

[Mutanthands]

Oh my. What prompted this? Wonder if someone has been polishing up the game for iOS, and this is a happy side effect?

 

[HotHamWater]

Cool, widescreen was a pain in the ass for that game IIRC, or it might have been Kotor 1.

Also, do this for Kotor 1 pls Bioware I beg you.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Controller support?

Well I guess I'll pick it up next time it's on sale to finally check out the restoration patch.

 

[TheBowen]

Was just thinking I should replay this game for like the 3rd time.

Great to see they added direct support for the expansion mod, never played the game with it on but have heard great things.

 

[jediyoshi]

Steam Workshop support! We've proudly teamed up with the Restored Content Mod team and TSLRCM will be available on day 1!

Neat.

Also, on sale right now $7.50

[stuminus3]

Woah, this is great! Who is responsible for this? Would be nice if they fixed up the original KOTOR to the same standard.

 

[Brandon F]

Will play. Always wanted to see the missing content and never progressed far on Xbox due to the savage cuts.

 

[rockmanjoe]

Game appeared on my Linux library, but no executable yet.

 

[Chesskid1]

never played KOTOR1 or 2 but i've been meaning to. wonder if it'll support 21:9. that controller support is really nice as well.

seems kinda weird 2 is getting update but not 1. different developers? why update it at all?

 

[Sinatar]

I was pondering a replay of this, looks like the time is now.

 

[TheGamingBox]

i wish kotor 1 would get the same updates

 

[Lalalandia]

Will this work with the Restored Content mod? Yes it does work I need to work on my reading it seems, all but required IMO that last 1/5 is sheer nonsense otherwise.

Amazing game

If you used the superpower of reading you would have found this out:



Edit: nvm you did use it

Dammit my foolishness was caught!

 

[Megatron]

Controller support! Awesome! I bought this a few months ago on sale and haven't played it yet...

 

[pmj]

Wow, I bought it a long time ago but never expected to be able to play it. Time for a replay!

 

[ricki42]

Any idea which team did this work?

Aspyr has been teasing a new release for today, looks like this is it.

 

[jesu]

Excellent, I got this in a humble bundle a while back.
Will much prefer paying it with proper controller support.

 

[Tampler]

Wow, this came out of nowhere.

 

[Afrocious]

Wow. How timely. I just started a new playthrough a few days ago and I was complaining about how I couldn't get the game to be widescreen like I wanted.

 

[Mifec]

[Karak]

Using Flawless Widescreen for these games now but maybe I will switch over.

 

[Htown]

Everyone should play this now, no excuses.

but i haven't played kotor 1 yet

 

[Denton]

I like this more than Star Wars episode 4,5,6.
Controller support ?
Replay imminent.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Based Obsidian.

 

[Deadly]

Wow wonder who actually worked on this, great initiative.

 

[TheBowen]

but i haven't played kotor 1 yet

Well now you have to play both of them then.

And you're going to enjoy them

No excuses.

 

[AntiFacebook]

What about unlocking the ending of the game?
It's kinda stupid that an unofficial patch did it years ago,but not the official one.

 

[Snapshot King]

never played KOTOR1 or 2 but i've been meaning to. wonder if it'll support 21:9. that controller support is really nice as well.

Maybe obsidian finally got to make that patch they've wanted to for a decade.

 

[Deleted member 144138]

Hope there will be an updated GOG version as well

 

[Grover Cleveland]

This is a massive update for a game ten years old.

Too bad I've already dealt with the pain and struggle (not really) of getting the game running at 1080p with the Restored Content mod.

Spoiler

Still time to boot it back up for the seventeenth time, YOLO

 

[human onion]

This seems out of nowhere, but cool. Think I might finally do a Dark Side playthrough.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

I'll have to go ahead and play through this again sometime soon. Hopefully swoop racing works now too.

 

[benicillin]

Oh man! This just shot up to the top of my must play list.

 

[robotrock]

Can I play this without playing the first one or are the stories directly linked? I tend to enjoy Obsidian games.

 

[inm8num2]

Everyone should play this now, no excuses.

I still need to play the first game!

 

[kamineko]

Controller support? Damn, I just did a replay 2 months ago :'(

Xpadder mostly did a great job, but native would have been way better.

Those getting for the first time, I'd skip the Droid Planet companion to the restoration mod. I just.... would.

 

[DYLANH24]

Holy shit, time to get back to KOTOR 1, won't have to wait as long to play 2 now

 

[Nzyme32]

What about unlocking the ending of the game?
It's kinda stupid that an unofficial patch did it years ago,but not the official one.

It's part of the content mod that is in the Steam Workshop. The game never shipped with that content completed or unlocked on any platform until the modders got to it, as far as I know. Regardless, seems the developers (either Obsidian or Aspyr) teamed up with them to make it available for the launch

 

[Miker]

Very, very cool. The native widescreen support is actually the most important thing to come out of this, as the content restoration mod was fairly easy to track down and install. Widescreen and custom resolution (1080p) support was a huge pain in the ass to get working, though, and my game would still crash from time to time on transitioning from gameplay to FMVs.
