KOTOR: Apeiron

  • February 17, 2016

    Morning Ladies and Gents, I wanted to create a space for an upcoming project that has be unbelievably hyped, screw Fallout 4 or Skywind, people I'd like to bring your attention to KOTOR Apeiron.

    So what is KoTOR Apeiron? Well to make it short and sweet, it's a remake of Knights of the Old Republic using the Unreal engine, but I suppose even that doesn't sell it right. Apeiron is not only a remake, but it also promises to add new content including, new worlds, missions, HUD, inventory, items, and companions.

    A comparison of Tatooine (New-Right, Original-Left)

    Now, it is still fairly early in development, but to me this is something that could be massive, not just for me but by the looks of it, the Gaming Corner as well. Based on content, even discounting Albino we seem to have a large fanbase for KoTOR here and this is the perfect chance for new and old players to get back into the Game.

    I'll be keeping updates coming to this discussion, I am hella excited for this update, and I wish all the best for the team behind it.

    What a time to post this, managed to get it up (twice) in the short period of time Ning allowed me onto the Site. Anyway, figured this definitely deserves more attention than being swept under by the 500 error.

    From what I hear, they're more than likely going to get shut down on copyright grounds. I'd love to see KotOR remade, but I don't think the fans are going to be able to do it.

    Yet Capcom was A-OK with fans remaking RE2

    Heh, Capcom and Disney are very different entities.

    That is true. Hopefully they can do this. I've been wanting to do fan versions of KOTOR 3 and 1313 for awhile now. Granted, I wouldn't label them as Star Wars games, probably

    I haven't actually seen any mention of it being shut down. On their site they do mention that there might be issues, but at the end of the day it's basically a mod, and considering KotOR 2 is completely open to Mods I really don't see this being that big of an issue.

    I'll certainly update the discussion if it does get shut down, I wouldn't be terribly surprised, but I haven't seen any indication of this happening.

    It seems like they're well underway with the world creation, with parts of Taris and Dantooine finished, and they've obviously done a bit of work on Tatooine. 

    I don't know how close they are but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't finished by 2018, but at the same time I also wouldn't be surprised if we got it in the next 2 years. I suppose it all depends on what they're upto right now, and whether or not they get shut down.

    Alright, wanted to update this with a couple of picture from other planets.

    Here's what the Lower City of Taris is currently looking like

    And this is where we'll be training as a Jedi, hot damn look at Dantooine.
