The History of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Hello everyone, thank you for watching and (hopefully) enjoying our latest video. We'd briefly like to shed light on our recent absence and dip in content the last couple of months. Over the course of this year, we were faced with a couple of setbacks following the impact of creator burnout behind the scenes. To make a long story short: the people behind this channel, a very small team, have been creating a lot of videos non-stop since the channel's inception up until 2020 and that came to a head when circumstances surrounding COVID-19 coupled with mental fatigue forced us to restructure and re-evaluate our ambitions. Regardless, we're happy to report that we've persevered despite these setbacks and are working hard to improve the channel for next year, but more on that later. We hope you'll enjoy the remainder of 2020 with us as we look forward to making 2021 our best year yet!

Larian needs to make KOTOR 3 the same way they followed up BioWare with Baldurs Gate 3. This is the studio I trust most to breathe life into the long shelved franchise

It was a pretty fun game for its time. I got it whenever the first PC release came out. The big box one that came with that manual that was on a binder and had some type of technical charts in the back for the levels. I don't really have any interest in playing through it again though. I remember the Manaan planet was the usual style of Bioware I don't care for. Where you're on some hub area talking to NPC's for a year with no action going on.

If I have to choose between a SW where KoTOR is canon vs one where The Last Jedi is canon, I'm choosing the former. Disney can decide the canon when they actually add good stuff to it.

After seeing how BioWare handled revan in the old republic game, you kind of wish there was an actual sequel

I LOVE KOTOR. Played it on a dying Xbox that would crash 1 in 3 load screens. I dug the sequel, despite its rushed nature with a new team.
I refused to touch the MMO, despite assurances it had single-player content.
Then, of course, I loved Mass Effect.

Kreia is still the best NPC of all time.

I don't even like star wars, but this game was AMAZING
That twist...no game has done a twist half as good

In my mind it's cannon
And
Everything Disney creates
is just DLC

Pain

Rest In Peace BioWare

Ahhh KOTOR... The closest any other game has got to Jagged Alliance 2 and the depth and quality. Of course i say that as in without being too drawn out/involving convoluted skill trees.

Its amazing other games havent cut and pasted the formula from this or JA2.

But then again both of them came shortly before the downfall of both devs who made them(be it Sir-Tech going bust or Bio-Ware becoming a shell of themselves)

Really wish they would’ve pursued a Kotor 3, instead of that SWTOR junk.. KOTOR 1&2 are my favorite games of all time. Absolute masterpieces. So much so, that the writing for those two games is MILES ahead of the “script” for the Star Wars sequels.

I used to be really into WOW and the idea of a KOTOR 2 games just sounds amazing to me.

Fuck I don't even like star wars but I love kotor

Bro sounds like he’d be a narrator in a 2004 PBS documentary or a true crime show 🤣😭

You definitely had creative burnout since you keep using the behind the scenes video of the Episode 3 video game and pretending it’s relevant to KOTOR. Irrelevant filler footage is lazy documentary making.

Damn shame EA gutted bioware and the mmo was trash

With the remake coming I wonder if we will see a full complete kotor 2 and maybe see a kotor 3

Wait the events are non - Canon? Learned something new today

As long as they don't play around with the story of the original in Remake, it should be revival and maybe even a gift to Obsidian to make Remake 2 with everything it needed to be in the first place.

I played this game briefly when I was 18. combat system was a massive turn-off. never tried playing it again

pls do a history of gothic trilogy from Piranha Bytes.

EA is just as bad as Kathleen Kennedy, dare I say worse. Still looking forward to the day they all go under

they did revan dirty on SWTOR

Games like these are why Gen 6 is the greatest for consoles. Xbox, PS2, and GameCube... Such an awesome time to be a gamer.

Two of the greatest games of all time. Nobody will be able to tell me otherwise.

Kotor and Kotor 2, both amazing games and one of my favorites to date.

And the end of Kotor 2 always screamed for a sequel.

Just finished playing Kotor 2 as Jedi consular and Jedi weapon master. Great game still holds up in 2022

This is Cannon not Disney

I still remember till this day when I was playing the knights of the old republic on Xbox and find out you the player was revan the whole damn times the biggest mind blow twist and KOTOR it the best game of all times and the fact we get a remaster I would be exciting about it till we found out on the write SJW activist that hates male Star Wars fans & constantly mocks the fanbase telling them to "die mad about." She was asked about her favorite SW game in 2019 and said "Not KOTOR and everyone inlcude me are worry about the story and she already said revan it gay and we just got wait and see and hope she not on the team

KotOR remake on the horizon! Maybe by then I'll be able to find a PS5.

That moment when you realise Kotor 2 delivered cosmic horror with The True Sith and Nihilus while most "lovecraftian" adaptations and video games fail.

Aspyr Games, your our only hope

Honestly if you have not played KOTOR 2 I'd still recommend it. Still a good game w/ a fascinating story.... you dont really have the timeline of development issues in your face until the last 5 minutes of the game

Who's watching this after the remake got announced?

While i am not a fan of kotor combat i still love it

if they made Kotor single player id be 100% buying deluxe edition pre-order and risking the burn. I was VERY let down by Kotor MMO I played it for about a month and it just felt so shallow when I compared it to the best starwars mmo Star wars galaxies where as a teenager I spend maybe 5-6 years on that game and played it daily.

Neither corporates nor creators get to decide what's canon. Once it out, it belongs to the fan.

Kotor is an rpg? I don't think turn based combat would work with star wars

I look forward to playing this again now on the Nintendo switch

Sith Lords had some really cool ideas in it. I liked the 'nothing happens in a vacuum' philosophy. Ultimately though, I found myself on the last planet, and thought: "Why am I here?"... "Hey, Bastilla. This planet has zero civilians, no naval defense, and two mediocre sith. Let's nuke it from orbit."

If this is what the remake will be im not interested.
All i want is a darth maul game.

The second game is better than the first, FIGHT ME

kotor2 is top 10 games of all time.

I’m here after the announcement of the remake!

I hope they dont fuck up the remake
