KOTOR 2 Restored Content Project: This Is the Mod You're Looking For
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I own this on the Xbox and expect we will see it as DLC shortly after George Lucas admits the prequels sucked ass. The KOTOR2 restoration projects are unsanctioned project that are, I think, technically in violation of intellectual property laws, but LucasArts has no reason to start firing off cease-and-desists as long as no one is directly profiting from it or trying to put it forward as official content.
I will buy this for PC so I can play the mod. I promised that to myself when I first heard about it.
It's sad for me that Team Gizka's project failed. According to the Gizka forums, the main developer and project head lost interest and abandoned the project.

I think it's a simple matter of money. A development studio has to generate revenues if it's going to survive, whereas a fan project can be done purely as a labour of love.Echolocating said:

It is not old per se, but I think that it is the processor that is sub-par and my main concern is that it'll lag like crazy because of it. But I guess that it can't hurt to try though, considering the reward.Vim-Hogar said:
Oh right, hadn't thought about the sectioned maps thing, and I think you have a point there. At least I hope that it'll at worst just take a couple of seconds longer than "normal" to load if I play on lower settings. It can't be worse than Bioshock, and I trudged through that despite the lag.Bored Tomatoe said:
PC version it is, then!
Of course it has to do with money, but the fact that a bunch of rabid fans did it on their own free time tells me that it wouldn't have taken a lot money and time to actually finish it, especially since those fans also went through the trouble of learning how the game was assembled and such.Malygris said:I think it's a simple matter of money.

It still seems like a wasted opportunity to boost the name of both Atari and Obsidian. People still talk about the original KotOR like it was the second coming. Obsidian could have shared some of that limelight, but then again... I'm a poor slob, ranting on internet forums. What do I know? ;-)
Wow, i didn't expect this (not meant in a negative way). I love both KOTOR I & II and have played them to death (one of the few games i can play over and over), and i've been checking out the website for the a while to see the progress. I must say, i'm pretty excited to try it out. KOTOR fans can finally get some of the missing area's of KOTOR II (but only those that own the game on PC though sadly).
Hmm, I would love to get it for this reason, but unfortunately I don't think my computer has the power to play it. It can barely play Age of Empires 3, so if anyone knows if my computer could play KOTOR 2, let me know.
