There is no video for me, what am I doing wrong?

Edit: Found it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s58TvG8V-0k

The problem is usually caused by using ad-blocker, or script blocker. Though it usually happens mostly on the forum section, and not the front-page news-bits.

Now back on topic I like what I see, and have my eye on it's future development.

I'm usually not seeing any videos here either. If you want to see the videos, you have to (temporarily) allow in your ad blocking or no script application:

Don't get your hopes up…don't get your hopes up…dangit! I got my hopes up.

Looks pretty good so far, seems to be a blend of SWTOR style graphics into a first person view which works. If the game systems get proper attention this could be something great.

KotOR is one of the best games ever. Hopefully this will stay true to the storyline aspects of the original. If so, then I look forward to playing it.

I'm guessing the first-person view is only for the purpose of showing what they've built so far. They probably haven't worked on any character models yet.

*Edit* At 1:30 of the video he mentions that it'll be in 3rd-person.

If you're remaking a game yet change the combat, then you are not really remaking the game… are you? I'm sorry, but once you make an RPG all about action, it stops being an RPG in my eyes. We have enough action based Star Wars games. That's what was so great about KoTor was it was a RPG series!!!

Even a small update in graphics would look good but i won't lie that this looks very good. I just hope they don't change the combat much cause it has its charm and it fits the game as is.

^ This would be a dream come true. Even if it wasn't fully open world it would still rock.

The quests, dialogue and exploration can stay the same but that quasi D&D terrible combat needs to go. They tried to make something between NWN and action combat and ended up with unbalanced shit.

MGS remake has just been cancelled. Suspected Konami's decision not to allow anyone to mess with IP.

Any word from EA's stance about Kotor remake?

I suspect that if you take the Skywind route of requiring the precursor games to be installed, then you're probably on safer ground. You're essentially just modding the original at that point. Still, it's always good to get permission from the IP holder.

looks like some of the footage taken from TOR exp the scene that looks like Sith homeworld city.

If I take Starcraft and make it turn based tactical game out of it, should I call it "Starcraft remake"? Answer is no. This game, if it ends up like what it looks like, a shooter, may be called 'Another game that uses the same locations as Kotor', or AGTUTSLAK for short.
