    If it goes well, can we expect a remaster of Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series? They’re also owned by Crystal Dynamics and I recall them sending me a questionnaire asking about a possible revival

      Can you elaborate on why the Wii to Switch version is your favorite? I played it on 360 back in the day and have it on Steam. I’m curious what the differences are.

      Aren’t Aspyr garbage?

      Last I remember is their janky arse port of Jade Empire and a unlaunchable KotoR.

        No, they aren’t garbage.

        Can’t speak for their Jade Empire port but their KOTOR port is actually pretty good. Might be something wrong with your handset.

        Their general output is pretty good.

        Don’t know why you’re being negged. They’re “okay” and I do understand why some are negative about them. Overall they’ve done okay with re-bringing back out old games.

        But you’re right there’s been some issues with jank, and some anger due to how they dealt with KOTOR 2 DLC and purchases.

        The kotor2 remake has also been removed from aspyr.

        IMO I’d say wait and see, let the reviews come up, and see if it fits for you.

    Feels kind of weird to have a remaster coming long after a total remake. Granted, I don’t think they remade 2-3, just the first one - and it was for the sake of their small trilogy referencing events from the first game. (I think it went, Legend, then Anniversary (Remake), then Underworld, right?)

      The original games are so old that it is quite messy to get them to run on PC these days and the remake changed the gameplay quite substantially. So this remaster is quite welcome and probably a lot cheaper to produce than a full 2 and 3 remake.

      As for Anniversary, the story there is a bit weird, as Anniversary and Legend are basically completely independent games that have nothing much to do with each other other than the engine. Legend is a reboot and Anniversary is a remake. It’s only with Underworld that the the story of those two get wrangled together into a trilogy. Only the first game is taken into account there, all the other sequels of the original game are ignored.

    I’m glad they were looking at Anniversary and Legends instead of the reboot by square enix for the modern version of controls, loved those games on PS2.
