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.
