    We’ll have years of speculation ahead of us

    I'm not sure how much depth such a character needs
    He wants what all Sith do, power. He was fed up of living in the shadow of his master so he plotted his downfall and seized the Star Forge to help him conquer the galaxy.

    Maybe a bit of backstory about how he was a good Jedi corrupted by Revan aftet the Mandalorian War might be interesting, but as the antagonist he just needs to be evil and powerful

    I'd rather not have the dark side murder fantasy thing forced upon players who don't want to play an evil character. :p

    In order to redeem the character, Revan should kill a bunch of people in a hallway with his or her laser sword.

    If there's one thing you can count on it's a dark sider having a cool hallway scene.

    So the hallway murder scene is the light side ending then?

    I take it you didn't care for the Vader opening level in The Force Unleashed? :p

    I remember liking it at the time, but 1. we were playing Darth Vader and 2. that was quite a few years ago. I also used to play dark side in KOTOR a lot but I'm not interested in that anymore.

    I hear you. I'm not particularly interested in playing evil characters either. In fact, I'm kind of over the whole "cool evil character" thing. It seems a lot of people are hoping for extended flashbacks of Anakin killing kids in the Jedi Temple for the Kenobi show and I just... don't understand why anyone would want that in Star Wars. At all.

    The villains are cooler though.

    That's why Revan is so popular, looks really cool and was crazy powerful.
    Also has a hilarious murder droid companion.

    The Vader level was the best part of the not very good TFU games.
    Hurling Wookiees into giant trees and off high platforms never gets old.

    The Dark Side powers are also way more fun to use.
    Force Scream & Crush were awesome in the KOTOR games, mainly because they could be very OP

    If the knights of the old republic remake succeeds, do you guys also think it’s possible for a shadows of the empire or a force unleashed remake games to be a possibility as well?

    The Inquisitors have replaced Galen Marek in Star Wars canon.
    For the better IMO

    It's a shame the Republic Commando remaster wasn't better.

    I'd like to see a KOTOR II remake & Episode I Racer

    Fallen Order is the new Jedi Knight series
    Squadrons is the new X-Wing/TIE Fighter
    So those games won't be redone

    Also Fallen Order is ajedi series now and Cal is just one of the jedi they'll tell stories with.

    Squadrons is absolutely nothing like the old X-Wing/TIE Fighter series, other than the one multiplayer game.

    I am going to say unlikely for The Force Unleashed remake (Fallen Order is its replacement in my mind). Starkiller has been criticized as being too powerful.

    Shadows of the Empire is unlikely unless there is a certainty the nostalgia will make big sales.

    Honestly I don’t think any predictions about other remakes are possible right now because we don’t even really know the scope of this one. Like, do they remake TFU? Maybe if “remake” turns out to just be polishing the mechanics and graphics enough to be a midrange title, maybe not if “remake” means a meticulous AAA grade reimagining from the ground up. There’s just nothing to go on.

    Honestly, does TFU need a remake? It's a modern enough game. An update in graphics? Sure, why not I suppose, but a complete remake? Nah. It still holds up as the mind-numbingly dumb (but kind of fun) hack and slash game that it is.
    And a remake to integrate it into the new canon would mean an entirely new game, as the story in the game is too far removed to work.
