Yea, but MLB put it directly in their contract that it had to be multi-system. I don't see Sony handing those out again anytime soon. Not after MS purchased Bethesda and started pulling games.
Why would a remake that is legends become canon? I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Kind of like how Bethesda games should not be unavailable on PlayStation or other platforms as they've always been known for being 3rd party, and yet Microsoft acquired Bethesda out of desperation just to have a "mic drop" moment and no other real purpose at all? Exclusives will keep happening.
How far off is this? Being that we got no in-game screen shots or anything....wondering when it will release. I loved the original game on the the OG Xbox and would buy this day 1....but just really curious what it looks like. Watching the 'after show' thing and the guy from the dev. is not telling us much. Just want one screen shot like a before and after picture.
Revan was made canon already.
Exactly what I'm thinking. They've already made Revan (and Malak) canon (through the visual dictionary for Rise of Skywalker). So now they can form the back story elements that will be made canon.
I replayed the original a couple of months ago, they really will need to re-build the entire thing. There's a lot that's just not that compelling in 2021, and the original is in my top five games of all time.
Hope it leads to a proper KOTOR 2 that is content complete and a sequel in the future.

I have waited for this announcement for years and to have it announced as a Sony exclusive is a punch in the balls.
Launch exclusive so I guess 6 months to a year till we see it on Xbox. I just excited to play this game again.
Your interpretation of why a large service/platform owner would acquire a publisher just to have a "mic drop" is interesting, lol.
why are people talking about money hat when Sony is the Publisher of the Game?
this is no different than the Marvel-Spider-Man Situation where Sony is the Publisher

Its AAA production and they specifically build their team for this game:

Thanks for sharing this.
I'm actually content with the developers for this one. Because honestly, who else would you rather have for this project? Before Cyber Punk, my answer would have easily been CD Project Red, but now? Not anymore. Bioware is a shell of it's former self with almost none of the developers from the original behind the game working there now. Chris Avellone isnt with Obsidian anymore.
A dedicated team of developers literally built for this game is a great plan in my opinion. The actual execution, we will wait and see.
2003. Before a ton of gamers were born. People here forget how old they are sometimes.
Plus, who knows if they add any sort of new content as with the FF7 remake.
Game is published by Sony so I doubt that it will go to XBOX
This is the video games business bro. All parties fighting for your wallet. If they can get you to buy their system then this is how they will continue to do it.
I mean, in that context Nintendo was strong arming third parties throughout the NES/SNES era to control content, release dates, etc., even leading to bootleg cartridge production by non-trivial publishers.
Controlling content availability has been a thing as long as we've had competing hardware platforms. I can't recall exact stories but I'd guarantee there was all kinds of bullshit even during the Atari/Intellivision/Coleco/etc. period.
I am unbelievably excited about KOTOR being remade. But it will take many years to release.... so that excitement kind of will fall within a year for me. It's incredible they are undertaking this though. KOTOR is my favourite star wars game ever.
Microsoft published Rise of the Tomb Raider and Nintendo published Dragon Quest XI S, so that really doesn't mean much.
Member of the LFL story group basically saying it's not canon (though he's clearly not allowed to say outwardly):
a KOTOR 1 remake brings us that much closer to a KOTOR 2 remake, which brings us that much closer to KOTOR 3.
Good. The canon is irredeemably stupid now. Just hope it doesn't keep us from getting sequels.

KotOR takes place so long before the movies that it could not matter less whether or not it's canon.
Oh for sure - ultimately Playstation can do what they want. I am going to buy a PS5 to play this game (alongside the other incredible games we saw today - which is obviously why they continue to do it) My post was directed at the hypocrisy here. Either we apply these moral standards to exclusives, or we don't and recognize they are arbitrary (and just cover for console war narratives.)
Exclusives have always happened, and will continue to happen. Just a bit disappointed that KotOR's legacy on Xbox is being ignored with this announcement
They didn't hide shit

That wording they use is very odd. If this was a true console exclusive it would not have the tag of "console launch exclusive". It sounds like it will be on other "consoles" in the future, but at launch only on PS5 (console). Hope some clarity is coming.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake still isn't available on Xbox nearly 2 years later, so I do wonder if this deal will be similar. The fact that they kicked off the show with this means it's a big deal.
Very interested in this, Manaan will be the highlight world for me.
Hopefully they redo the combat system.

So I'm guessing there will be some other form of media that will canonise the back story to Revan and the other characters. Maybe they have a series or film planned out. Oh well, I'll take a remake of KOTOR either way.
