I highly doubt they're adding any content.
I'm highly sceptical that this will turn out well if they are rescripting.
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.

A few extra side quests wouldn't be that surprising. Rescripting is fine in terms of improving bad dialogue, pacing etc. Almost every remake tries to improve on things that were annoying/dated about the original. People wanting the exact same thing with zero changes should just play the original.
And I highly doubt they'll change the main story. I mean, they can't be that dumb.
Like tie fighterI 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 do not understand why it needs a new writer, where Karpyshyn was excellent and now is not involved with BioWare (and many times mentioned that he would love to work in Star Wars again). He was excellent in the original game whose stories is still mentioned as one of the best ever (though to be fair, Kotor 2 from Avalon has as a good story).
Nevertheless still very excited about this.

Was my 2nd fav ever game on the old consoles?
Tbf it's not like there isn't plenty of scope to expand aspects of the original game or add depth. Ideas I saw mentioned elsewhere were expanding Malak so he's a less one dimensional villain, delving more into the backstory between him and Revan, taking more time with the Bastilla turning to darkside plot and building each planet up so there's more depth and side quests to all of them. You also have the ability to blend plot points from KOTOR 2 more seemlessly into the KOTOR plot. Even without changing the general outline of the story at all you could go into way more detail on pretty much all of it and add hours of content.
Which would be great. If you offered me Kotor with just more side quests I'd happily buy it again.

The production team on this includes some of the people who worked on the original game. Suffice to say that this will be very faithful.
Hope it's a remake rather than a remaster. I played through it on PC 6 months ago.
Still brilliant.

I can't wait. If it's amazing then it'll sell shitloads, and then we'll get a KOTOR2 remake and I'll finally get Nihilus' mask when I tell my minions to bring it to me.

Reports are saying this is delayed indefinitely due to trouble at the studio.

feck sake.
Well that's a shame.
As an aside, I replayed KOTOR on mobile and my goodness it ported really nicely. Wild how the processing power on our phones has come along.

Another Prince of Persia then.
They'd been working on it for three years and a realistic release date was still 2025? Sounds like they just botched the project.

Well this is clearly no longer happening
This bump better be due to good new.................
Is there a worse holding company than Embracer in video gaming at the moment? What an absolute train wreck they've been since their acquisition frenzy.
Apparently Sony PR are saying it was removed due to music licensing issue
I'll just replay the original again.
Yeah me too, I guess. If I have to force myself... Damn it all.
Ahh I was hoping this was bumped for some good news
Ah, brother. It is strong in you I forsee.
It's deader than dead.
I'll never understand why projects like this, or the Prince of Persia remake that would inevitably sell well are ignored or de-prioritized while companies are happy to throw millions at Avengers, Anthem or whatever stupid GaaS knowing that genre has an incredibly high fail rate.
