Embracer confirms one of their AAA titles was moved to another studio to ensure quality; no delays expected
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
Aspyr will be fine. They still need them to push their games into the MacOS market now that Apple is making moves towards gaming on Mac.
Plus they seem to be a solid port dev, shame they couldn't rise above that.

Why would you hope that?
If you don't like the remake just don't buy/play it.
Other people might enjoy it
I dont think Aspyr or Saber were/are the right choice for a kotor remake. Hoping to be proven wrong.
I was wondering this too. Where does it specifically say this is about KOTOR?
Why hope for that D:
Glad it's passed on to another studio, but I hope they take all the time they need
Are you aware of any other project Aspyr was working on, or that wasn't put on pause recently due to studio shakeup?
Just ignore it then, noone forces you to play it.
you can always replay the originals, they won't get worse retroactively because of the remake.
Personally, I'm excited for the remake. Never played the originals (although I own them) and i'm willing to give it a go.
There's really no indication that this is KOTOR and There's no mention of Aspyr or Saber in that section
This is all pure speculation from OP
this could be any game
They have over 30 AAA games in development

Who should have it then?
Saber is decent, they do good work. They put frigging Witcher 3 on the Switch!
I believe the "group" means all of Embracer Group and not just Aspyr. They never specifically mention Aspyr.
They do great work yeah but most of their portfolio, just like Aspyrs is ports and/or smaller games. This should be handled by someone that has experience on working with AAA games, not just ports of them but actual production from scratch imo.

Going by Jason Schreier report, and he is pretty accurate, you just have to do 1+1
My point is where they did mention KOTOR or Aspyr? This seems like OP is just guessing which game and studio they are talking about when they own dozens of them.
Sure, but they have made original games at least. And they have a reasonably big staff. They are a much better fit than Aspyr.
Yeah thats a legitimate question that may not have a better answer right now. Clearly Bioware either had no desire to or couldnt put together a good plan with EA to do something more with KOTOR while they had the exclusive liscense.
Personally Id have liked Obsidian but they have a ton of their own projects going on.
Feels like a bit of a stretch to just say this is KOTOR.
Aspyr staffed up massively for that project, with a lot of people who had experience in the Star Wars or KOTOR universes. Not sure it would be as easy as just passing the project to Saber.
As a huge fan of the original game I just can't see this project surviving and also living up to its legacy. It's doomed, only a sequel has a meaningful chance.
Also, this is a million times more complex than putting The Witcher on Switch. This is a from the ground-up remake of one of the best games of all time, with game, level and quest design all needing serious work.

Wow!!There's really no indication that this is KOTOR and There's no mention of Aspyr or Saber in that section

didn't even know embraces was this massive!!
more than 30 AAA games in development!!
amazing!
They didn't mention it. But it is the game that fits the most given Schreier said Devs were speculating this would happen and it's the one that lines up the most. Pretty rare an AAA game changes developers, it happens, but it's rare. Would be shocking if Embracer had multiple games undergoing the exact same problem at once.
Its still speculation as they don't mention anything
It could be literally any game
more than one AAA game can have issues in a group as large as Embracer
this is a massive reach to assume this is Kotor
It's not completely unlikely or anything, but the thread title shouldn't have been written like that - it makes it sound like this was all confirmed by embracer.
They've made remasters not remakes no? I suppose Halo 1 and 2 anniversary were close to remakes, the scale of the KOTOR remakes seemed to be advertised on the same level as FF7 though.
That's largely because they're on a buying spree and have been for years. Saints Row is also theirs, btw, and that's coming out next week.
Totilo seems to think it's a possibility too

Come on, the bloomberg article said that saber was already very involved in the project and that devs feared that saber would take over entirelyThere's really no indication that this is KOTOR and There's no mention of Aspyr or Saber in that section

They should just greenlight this instead.

Halo 1 and 2 are solid remakes that looked great for their time.
I don't think it's been intended to be 2022 since need the start of the project
The pedigree of the studios they keep choosing to do this is frankly appalling. Don't get me wrong, I play games by them, but they're not fucking Kotor. Better than leave it to die already in the hands of Aspyr, I guess.
Bioware getting involded would mean that EA is publishing, and Embracer alerady signed with Sony to do that, If I'm not mistaken.
If Jason Schreier has said anything (recent) to give this speculation credence, I'd advise putting it in the OP.
Saber Interactive owns Aspyr though, so would this just mean that it's moving to another Saber owned studio? They have 22 subsidiary studios.
Saber owns 3D Realms, and 4A Games? I remember the headlines of Saber acquiring Aspyr, but not these two.

One of the press releases from today says "The Group has 120 internal game development studios and is engaging more than 12,750 employees and contracted employees in more than 40 countries." It's huge.

Yes we need more Apple silicon native games/ports!
Wtf? KOTOR remake announcement was a year ago? Holy shit time flew by fast! It felt like it was from earlier this year like a few months ago before E3.
