Nice. They DMCA’d the remake fan project so they could do this.
Group announces fan remake. Group get cease and desist. Internet tells them they should have just dropped it one day out of the blue. A tale as old as time. Im sympathetic. But its idiotic to announce a fan remake of anything unless you have the written consent of the owners. (and even then its risky because they can always revoke those permissions at random)
Unless you’re remaking a Valve title apparently. Black Mesa is fantastic.
According to Wikipedia it started out as a mod, Valve asked them not to give it a name too similar to their own Half-Life Source, then later Valve approached them and suggested a commercial release!
Does anyone really still expect a clean ,better than the original, unmonitzed remake from EA? This is probably for the best
sigh of relief
I don’t, but the original has so many bugs and issues on my PC that I’ve never been able to finish it.
I’m both disappointed and relieved. I love KotOR and was intrigued by what they would come up with, but I’m also quite sure it would have missed the mark in the end. It would’ve been nigh-impossible to recapture the magic. Shame this killed the fan-remake, though. We ended up with the worst of both options.
"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, KOTOR Remake… and yet you are nothing.“
We were this close to greatness
Why not just do the work in secret and then release the finished game as a torrent?
