Sam maggs is her name I believe. Apparently she said it a couple of years ago.
Gaming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PS5 Remake)
- Thread starter Hoof the ball
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
She said it on Twitter…
Feck yeah! The original KOTOR is a top 10 game of all time. I hope the remake does it justice.
You mean this?
Oh yeah, she really hates it. Better sack her now. I mean, if you have to add "I believe" when you're saying her name, and "apparently" when you're explaining what she said, that's a good sign that just maybe it doesn't warrant "any excitement I had about the game is gone".
The tweet being reposted everywhere is one in which she is asked if KOTOR is her favourite Star Wars game and she said no.
Somehow it not being her favourite game translated into her not liking it, at least among the sort of braindead idiots who complain about an "SJW agenda" in everything around them.
This is the one that's doing the rounds.

I mean, it's not quite the brutal takedown it's been hyped up to be

Typical snowflake outrage.
God, that game was so shit but I played it so much for some reason
I could never make it past the level after the underwater Jar Jar Binks homeworld place.No, I don’t mean that.You mean this?

But you seem to be taking this really personally so I’m just gonna not.
So what do you mean, then?
Which comments were you referring to?
oh god, I'm so glad I deleted twitter.
Wake me for KotOR II. 
The reaction is so fecking stupid. But I'm not surprised in the slightest. Star Wars, a woman, people expecting a decades old game to live up to the exact feeling they had when they first played it. It has all the ingredients of a shit show.
You said she didn't like KOTOR and she had said so on twitter.
If that wasn't the tweet you were referring to, which one was? Because that's the tweet all the other people trying to claim she dislikes KOTOR are referring to.
Why does this game need a new writer? Genuine question.
Its a game that was already released and most people would consider it to have one of the best stories in gaming.

Yep, I've read that, a woman who doesn't like original KOTOR, perfect for the job, I guess we still have the original.
Pity you didn't read any of the other posts, you'd know it wasn't true.
Did we ever find out what that TLOU2 agenda was btw?
Pity I read a lot more from stuff her that isn't that tweet people are throwing around thinking it's only about that.
Norman made a smart move and just moved on, because it is useless to argue about this.
I don't care either way, just going to low my expectations to the ground, no big deal.
Really? Other than that tweet what else have you read that suggests she dislikes KOTOR then?
The actual smart move from both @Norman Brownbutter and yourself would be saying "yeah that's the tweet I was referring to, I didn't realise it was a joke tweet about The Yoda Stories, she probably doesn't hate KOTOR after all".

Not like there in the business to make money, instead they are going to hire someone who hates the game and the genre and make it as terrible as can be.
absolute fruitcakes
I don't think she dislikes the game, to be fair. At least not from the evidence people have presented.

However, given how shitty most remakes are its highly likely that it will be terrible, but only a slim chance its due to her writing.
Yeah I think he's being sarcastic. I mean I assume?
Norman didn't argue anything. He never actually gave any indication of what he was talking about, and nor have you.
Oh yeah, misread it. Long day!
That said, hard to assume either way with how gamers and SW nerds behave
Back on topic, a KOTOR remake is all well and good but a KOTOR 2 remake or KOTOR 3 is what I really want.
You have a point. Do you still have to mod KOTOR2 to get it where it was supposed to have been in the first place?
I'm sure everyone would like a reasoned debate, so what's the stuff you've read? Personally, I doubt a company who will invest millions and want a profit on that to have hired someone who hates the game.
Ya, RCM.
...
I suck at playing more or less anything so the old combat system was perfect for me. For the remake, even if my computer can run a modern game, I don't think I'd be any good at it
Yes, but it's as simple as subscribing to this in the Workshop.

I think the writer of KOTOR 2 has said he didn't like Star Wars. And it wasn't kept hidden, he got his characters to criticise most of it.
And everyone loved it.
Star Wars is stupid and ripe for deconstruction, and Avellone did a great job.
Yeah, that's true and I love KoToR 2. That's a bit different from hiring someone who hated the original game to remake it though as there will be an expectation that there are similarities; she will want to adjust not change. I don't believe she does though as she wouldn't take it on

It's certainly an interesting dynamic to bring to something. Possibly works better in this kind of game as you can give the main character the opportunity to take a different POV if you want but not being a massive fan of the source material could probably give you a creative edge in some cases.
Shit you missed the best level on Tatooine, it let you slice up the little slave kidsGod, that game was so shit but I played it so much for some reason
To be honest remakes don't bother me, it's the lack of new games in a series that bothers me. It's obvious to the money men that remaking something is a no brainer and makes financial sense so they will keep at it for the foreseeable. It's the same with movies and even TV shows creeping in! Didn't they remake the walking dead twice?
I crave new things and new experiences ultimately.
You should give the Old Republic MMO a go. It's basically KOTOR 3 at this point. Revan is even in it.
'In it' - that's an understatement. They've been milking him relentlessly up until the most recent stories.
I played TOR fairly relentlessly the first 3 years and enjoyed it a lot. Then I decided I'll never touch an MMO again. It is pretty good in fairness.
I loved KOTOR. I'll be interested to see if there's any free movement with the pov, surely it would still feel dated without it... Do Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight instead
Hopefully if this does well it will open the door for remakes of actual Lucas Games classics!

I guess anything released back in 2003 will need some polish as videogame writing has come a long way since then. You want it to be faithful but you also don't want it to feel dated. Could also be they're adding extra content like more side quests, character development etc.
