I'm also skeptical. People act like Fallen Order is mediocre. Just wait until you see this game. Fallen Order is made by one of the best third party teams around, and an ex-God of War director. And it's focused just on action, not RPG stuff or quests.

This is an action remake with also deep RPG elements, quests, tons of rewritten dialogue, and a party. Good luck.

Sorry, but I absolutely could not stand Fallen Order. The character controls were beyond broken. He NEVER healed on command, missed jumps that even a toddler could make, deflection mechanics were broken af. Had to put the game down during the third zone, because I just couldn't deal with the awful controls anymore

 

[Topher]

I think the objective might be to try and achieve a high quality remake. Whether or not it will be that remains to be seen but I don't see it being basic imo.

Obviously have to reserve judgement on the game itself until we actually see some gameplay, but they are building a team with some impressive credentials it seems.

I though it was awesome, but there was a little control jank here and there. And the story was a bit whatever. Have high hopes for the sequel.

I've seen one person say it would be a quick port of the original but I don't believe that's going to be true at all with the people behind the project. I believe it's a bit early for people to call this a disaster if we haven't seen it yet.

That's fair, I liked a lot about it, but gameplay for me is most important. I finally had it when Kal kept saying "I need healing", and BD literally did nothing, then I tried to jump over a small gap and fell into it for the 100th time. Don't know if it was the version I played, but I do not have good memories of playing FO

There's definitely some jank. Dunkey's video on PC has a ton of glitches. Even when functioning properly there's a little jank in platforming and stuff.

KOTOR was the game associated with Xbox...

360 was at the forefront of everything meaningful, in many ways we've taken steps back since.

But this gens innovation is not games or tech, it's "sales models"

The devs already confirmed themselves it will be a complete remake.

Microsoft made a bet on the future. They own the Starfield, Fallout and Elder Scrolls IPs. That alone on top of getting Todd Howard & Bethesda Game Studios and all the other IP and studios under Xbox's first party banner is simply huge.

I wouldn't exactly classify this as a gamble.

Kotor got out sold by mass effect.

Wasn't that due to the platform they released on and overall availability?

No doubt, this will inturn leapfrog mass effect

Pretty sure these guys were not brought in to do iOS ports.

It seems like the remake is in good hands then.
Good.

Oh....this?

Not sure what you mean, but all signs are pointing to a quick port. If they add content, improve the boring combat, and make a technically competent game, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Factually, there are no signs pointing to a quick port. Nothing at all. All signs point to it being a remake. Mainly because they are literally calling the game a "remake".

I've played the game on hard mode and never had any of those problems.

The real post wasn't deleted, it's on the playstation home thread. First reply and it derailed the whole thread. Go see for yourself.

I think microsoft did the right thing. I really don't need ANOTHER remake at this point, give me some fresh new games already.

I've seen many people letting their feelings do the talking lately.

Oh, definitely not a gamble hahaha. It's guaranteed pot of gold at the end and for many years to come. Bethesda, even before Activision, literally cements Xbox's future.

Whenever Sony gets a 3rd party exclusive, they only did so because MS turned it down first.

This is always the case....

In the minds of insecure fanboys.

Edit:
They are hiring a project manager too but it doesn't say for what game. Could be unrelated.

how so? what happened?

 

[El Pistolero]

how so? what happened?

The game is officially in limbo, apparently because the vertical slice they showed for their work was not up to par. Consequently, they fired two directors and halted the development indefinitely. Read: Never coming out, at least not from this particular studio.

 

[Black_Stride]

how so? what happened?

Silently cancelled delayed indefinately due to incompetence.
They spent alot of money making a demo to shop around and dont have enough to actually make a game.
Theyve fired every director who ahs touched the game and its pretty much in limbo because without a driver that train is going nowhere.
Without an influx of money and someone willing to actually steer the project they likely wont be able to finish the project....

Almost there

This topic, without any substantial confirmation, will be 11 pages minimum. Count on it.

Well well well how the turn tables

This I believe was just a dumb ass move by Microsoft.

I do not believe it was a dumb ass move by Microsoft.

You're hoping it's trash, aren't you? Unfortunately for you, it's more likely than not that the game will be good.

Doubtful.

There's always a risk handing off a beloved IP to a completely untested studio, this one turned out to be a real risk.

That's fine. But why jeer at those who were hopeful?

I don't think the poster meant people genuinely looking forward to the game.

Just a quick look at the first two pages will show you a lot of posters weren't posting in that context, there was a lot of chest thumping and "lol ms fucked up" chatter.

 

[Punished Miku]

That's fine. But why jeer at those who were hopeful?

Its just for fun dude. Why did people shit on MS for not buying exclusivity? People were trashing them in this thread for having the audacity to not bankroll the game. I say just lighten up. People are not making fun of people who were just merely hopeful
