  2. I think the remake will be new canon they will delete SWTOR and make a new KOTOR 3 instead SWTOR and Revan novel will be Legends

    Those aren’t canon. I’m talking about their mentions in the post-Lucas Star Wars universe.

    Only the sith in name are canon, Revan, Plagueis sith master, Naga Shadow and Exar Kun.

    Poor Revan... first the Sith Emperor brainwashed him to become a Sith, then the Jedi brainwashed him to become Jedi again and then his brain was all mushy so that he even forgot his gender or which companion he dated in his little hippie commune. He is a wreck and historians sort the mess into heroic tales that are barely there. They stole his life and made him a blank slate propaganda can fill by both sides of the future war when the Sith Emperors legions faced the Republic and Jedi. But with people on both sides believing these legends about Revan... he post mortem became the single unifying point that could bridge Jedi and Sith, Republic and Empire and reunite the galaxy as they all followed a dream he neither had nor was to union.

    (Why does that now remind me of Life of Brian? Lol... a hero without heroism that founded a religion and was the playball of propaganda from all factions, be it Judäa or Rome)

    All hail the sandal of Revan!

    I agree with this post wholeheartedly. That being said though, the last time they tried this, fans slaughtered them for it (RIP to the Revan book). It's almost a lose-lose situation.

    Personally, I'd rather know too much about a character than too little.

    I prefer some mystery. Some mystique. Otherwise there isn’t much to elaborate on.

    I think the only way for there to be a more defined Revan character is to opt for a linear narrative. That does mean losing both the player created character and player choices though.

    A way to have both is to make the remake linear like you say, and make a special ed of Kotor that is the same as the original in every way except the graphics are updated to look like the remake.

    Nice idea, but unless they change it from remake to remaster, I'm sceptical it'll happen.

    To a degree the two products do oppose each other too.

    Do we then need a new Sith lord tale? Before KotOR came out there was no Revan, after all.

    There's a good few other untold Sith stories that could be tapped into.

    I wonder if Darth Revan could work in a game like Uncharted or Last of us type of game?

    Probably be closer to Uncharted, as there you kill entire armies.

    But I think there is value in getting away from Revan - as there's millions of versions - and doing what KotOR did originally, with a new character.

    I think Revan could work in about any game style. Heck I’d love a FPS, like how the Jedi Knight series allowed you to switch between first and third person views.

    A more action style of gameplay might well enable that. Plus quite a few games have been enabling first person view where you wouldn't expect it.

    I love a game like uncharted, where it feels you play as in a movie.

    You ought to start on Trails of Cold Steel, but you have to start with the first one.

    It's a very ambitious JRPG epic.

    Yeah I don't know who vetoed the remaster Idea, but they are a fool. This is the age of remasters not remakes. People want why they had before, but looking better and maybe improved gameplay. This is a lot of peoples fav game or at least one they hold dearly. So messing with the story (which they will do, you don't hire 4+ writers just to ad some side quests), the thing, people REALLY like is a bad idea.

    I think there will be backlash, simply because they are changing things. And then the people who don't like it will be called sexist/homophobic/etc, just like one of the writers already did to people who don't like Rey in TLJ. So get ready for that, "Fun" times.

    I'm not so convinced of that. I think this is Disney/LFL looking at the big Resi 2 / FF7 remake pies and they want a slice!

    Improved audio-visuals? Equals remaster. Once you start changing the gameplay you are into remake territory.

    And honestly i think that their are certain things in the gameplay that could use a massive upgrade and retooling.

    Not to mention again added options for choices. Like Female Revan X Bastilla or Male Revan X Karth romance option.

    Character creation, choices - are the biggest challenges for Disney.

    The developers will likely consider it all standard stuff, but it probably won't look that way to Disney. Probably look far more radical.

    It wouldn't be the first project that got signed off without its corporate masters not fully understanding what they were signing off.

    They changed gameplay stuff in the Crash and Spryo remasters. They have also said they will rebuild the ENTIRE thing.

    Oh yeah they want ALL THE MONEY.

    Also @Jid123Sheeve it's Carth. Krath are a Sith Cult.
