Support NeoGAF

[thekonamicode]

Sorry if this is old, I browsed the first couple of pages and didn't see anything

Lucasarts will be re-releasing Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 in a bundle for $19.99 this summer.

 

[Chris R]

Are they going to fix kotor 2? And what about proper widescreen support for kotor 1? If they fix that stuff I'd probably bite.

 

[Kinyou]

A HD console remake would be cool....

 

[clashfan]

Looks like PC only? I was hoping for a optimized version of KOTOR for the 360. KOTOR currently runs like a slide show on the 360...

 

[Ponn]

Be bigger better news if they were re-releasing them with updated graphics or as XBLA/PSN downloads.

 

[Psychoward]

PC only? And no fixes? What's the point.....

 

[statham]

oh shit, KOTOR3 incoming!
E3!E3!E3!

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Very interesting.

Spoiler

Not getting my hopes up.

 

[Emitan]

I'll buy it. Never owned KotOR II and I might as well own a 3rd copy of the original KotOR.

Plus I want to show them that THEY NEED TO MAKE ANOTHER SINGLE PLAYER STAR WARS RPG FUUUUUCK

 

[brotkasten]

I hope they're doing this in preparation of a proper Kotor 3.

Yeah, right.

 

[GeoramA]

Be bigger better news if they were re-releasing them with updated graphics or as XBLA/PSN downloads.

Yep. And with Jade Empire as well.

 

[Ein Bear]

God if this was a full on remaster, with all the cut content in KotOR 2 restored then I'd buy it so hard.

But yeah, this'll just be a cheap re-release

 

[def sim]

A widescreen version would be just great. I applied a mod to fix that but the UI is stretched and looks awful.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Just sounds like a reprint. Nothing special. I already own them, so no reason to get this.

 

[def sim]

Guys, remember how dumb the Rakatan people looked? Man, infinite empire my ass, those dudes were dweebs.

 

[Cipher]

Got really excited there for a second.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Maybe we'll finally get KotOR 2 on Steam. I rented KotOR 2 on Xbox once, but never finished. Never bought KotOR 2 on PC as the lowest I've ever seen it is $20, which is still too much for me at this point when the game is that old.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

The optimistic side of me is hoping this is a sign that LucasArts will return to being the "good guys" and making games people want to play.

But we all know that is not the case. This is just a cheap reprint.

 

[RoboPlato]

I want a PSN version of this so bad.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Fuck that retail bundle shit. If you're not going to fix anything, just put both of them out cheap-ish of a variety of DD services.

 

[Gileadxv]

I wonder if they'll fix/complete the ending for KotOR 2. This isn't a troll post, I'm genuinely wondering. KotOR 2 would have out shined the original, but it was obvious it was released too early in order to make the holiday season. I don't think I've personally seen a game self destruct quite as horrifically as KotOR 2 (ME3 would be a close contender, but at least it was an ending -- as rubbish as it was).

 

[MikeE21286]

Are they going to fix kotor 2? And what about proper widescreen support for kotor 1? If they fix that stuff I'd probably bite.

My first thoughts.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Maybe we'll finally get KotOR 2 on Steam. I rented KotOR 2 on Xbox once, but never finished. Never bought KotOR 2 on PC as the lowest I've ever seen it is $20, which is still too much for me at this point when the game is that old.

I've never owned KOTOR 2, and it's something I'd love to try if I could get it over the net without spending too much.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I hope there will finally be a Steam release for KOTOR 2.

 

[smallios74]

I guess this is probably to get more interest in SWTOR than another KOTOR, perhaps linking in with a new update for the MMO.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

I see this as bad news, a GOG deal would let me get what I want from their backlog, this seems like they might drip feed there older games as long as they can.

 

[Cipher]

Be bigger better news if they were re-releasing them with updated graphics or as XBLA/PSN downloads.

Yep. And with Jade Empire as well.

I would enjoy all of these things.

 

[Attackthebase]

Would be nice if Lucasart actually allowed Obsidian to add an ending to KOTOR 2.

 

[DrForester]

A game and a beta of a game...

Is that really bundle worthy?

 

[MisterAnderson]

Re-release the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter series you fucking twats.

 

[Dice]

How do we know there are no fixes? There was nothing confirming that posted.

 

[CorvoSol]

Guys, remember how dumb the Rakatan people looked? Man, infinite empire my ass, those dudes were dweebs.

This is why they conquered the galaxy. Everybody kept making fun of them, so they had to prove themselves.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

A game and a beta of a game...

Is that really bundle worthy?

Oh you

 

[Nirolak]

oh shit, KOTOR3 incoming!
E3!E3!E3!

Well, they do have a team making an open world RPG.

 

[Arnie]

Well, they do have a team making an open world RPG.

!

please

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

How do we know there are no fixes? There was nothing confirming that posted.

It's speculation, nothing wrong with that until we know more.

 

[Eusis]

Fuck that retail bundle shit. If you're not going to fix anything, just put both of them out cheap-ish of a variety of DD services.

If they're not complete idiots (though I kind of expect them to be) we'll probably see KotOR2 added to Steam and other places in the near future, much like how NWN2 Platinum surfaced shortly before the retail collection of the NWN games.

 

[brotkasten]

Well, they do have a team making an open world RPG.

You're so cruel.

 

[Yopis]

Looks like PC only? I was hoping for a optimized version of KOTOR for the 360. KOTOR currently runs like a slide show on the 360...

False played through both only after 360 came out. Some rough audio glitches here and there but not a slide show at all.

 

[antonz]

Whole point is to rebuild interest in the series then probably have some trailer play at the end about SWTOR and continue living the story bla bla

 

[graywolf323]

so we should finally get KOTOR II on Steam?

 

[Ein Bear]

You're so cruel.

Would be far crueler if they actually did announce it. Do you really want an in-house, LucasArts KotOR 3?

Obsidian or bust.

 

[throwawayname]

You could get the first game for 2,5€ during the last steam holiday sale.
edit: yeah I mixed something up there.

 

[Dice]

It's speculation, nothing wrong with that until we know more.

Then I'll speculate that they signed a deal with GOG and after their shit was fixed up for that now they're capitalizing on it just because they can. It has happened plenty of times before.

 

[K.Sabot]

FINISH 2 PLEAAAASE.

 

[thekonamicode]

You could get the first game for 2,5€ during the last steam holiday sale.

Stealth edit!

True, but KOTOR 2 isn't on Steam.

 

[dondarm]

How do we know there are no fixes? There was nothing confirming that posted.

Yeah, a Win7 fix is pretty much a given.

 

[Dysun]

Fix KOTOR2 proper and I'll play

 

[DopeyFish]

KOTOR 2 was still pretty good even though the end was so... Nonexistent

Still hoping for KOTOR 3... The KOTOR universe was just so well done... Loved everything about the game

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

If they do this without an adjustment to the ending of KOTOR 2....well...Lucas Arts really has lost their way.
