That’s my Knights of the Old Republic remake wishlist. Dropping the strictly turn-based approach in favour of a more fluid combat system doesn’t mean things have to be lightning-fast requiring the reflexes of a professional player! But a redesigned approach to combat would help the game feel like a more natural adventure and less like, well, a video game from the early 2000s. Combat in the original version of KOTOR feels like a wholly separate event from exploration and the rest of gameplay with a noticeable transition, and I think a less rigid approach would be to the game’s overall benefit. Turn-based combat feels clunky and slow, and it interrupts the natural flow of gameplay. But if KOTOR is being remade from the ground up with a view to being modernised for a new audience, I think a new approach is needed.

With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s get started! This is a wishlist from a fan – and nothing more. It goes without saying that I have no “insider information” and I’m not trying to claim that anything on the list below will actually be a part of a new Knights of the Old Republic game. Today we’re going to look ahead to the Knights of the Old Republic remake and put together a wishlist these are things that I truly hope the new version of the game will include. After twenty years, a remake that brings the game into a new engine and in line with modern titles could be a great way to re-experience it – as well as for new players to experience it for the first time. I’ve talked about this before, but in the early 2000s – when Star Wars had been damaged by two disappointing films – Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel did an awful lot to rescue the franchise’s reputation for me. The remake of Knights of the Old Republic is one of the games that I’m most looking forward to at the moment. Spoiler Warning: There are spoilers ahead for the Star Wars franchise, including Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II.
