Those are all big AAA efforts that take ages to come around though, when years ago it seemed like a SW game would appear more often, even if quality was variable.

True but you could get games like Kotor II that were obviously not even half of the way complete. Just rushed to market as a cash grab. The sequel to the game of the year Knights of the Old Republic. Its like they put more polish into the ad instead of the game.

Poor Obsidian they had no intention of releasing it in that state. It was interesting failure on Xbox. I still hear Kreia saying Apathy is death, apathy is worse than death. Because at least the corpses feed the birds and insects.

I still remember confronting Atris and demanding the lightsaber back, well you never get it back.

KotOR II was very confusing at the time, especially the stuff with Kreia and Visas Marr at the end. Like you’re saying don’t date her but I don’t know if I did? What’s going on? But I never went back to it after reading what happened behind the scenes, or after the later day patches.

I came across this artwork and remembered “Star Wars: Eclipse” was a thing. The Quantic Dream (Heavy Rain) production. Then I wondered if it’s ever going to come out.

They claim it’s still in development, but say they are also making a multiplayer game. Which lately has signalled the death of dev teams since the market for such things is basically full.

If you’ve never played it with the restored content mod, I definitely recommend grabbing it on steam if you can and getting the restored content mod from the steam workshop. Adds so much to the story.

People throw this around a lot but KOTOR 2 was pretty much finished. The main issues were bugs and a handful of nonessential cutscenes mainly near the end of the game. A lot of people get this impression because they didn’t take the effort to talk to the characters and understand the story. They went through it saying “I hate Kreia, annoying old woman will never shut up” (true, fair) but then they get to the end and they’re like “I don’t get it, what is she doing, the story is missing”.

Worth noting the Steam version comes with the cut content mod and patches pre-installed now.

Some new games!*

*what’s old is new again

Well yeah especially considering the time spent on a KOTOR remake seems to be going on forever.
