Game News WTF: Knights of the Old Republic II gets new official patch, TSLRCM now available via Steam Workshop

[pippin]

KotOR 3 incoming?!

Nah, I think they just want to prevent too many refunds from people who bought the game on a whim and based purely on Episode 7 hype.

Woooo! More Linux games!

WTF: Knights of the Old Republic II gets new official patch, TSLRCM now available via Steam Workshop

And its July 21st. 3 times 7 = 21.

Kotor 3 confirmed.

 

[Ismaul]

Kotor 3: "by the team that brought you the 10-years-later-patch to a game they didn't make!"

It's Beamdog all over again.

Maybe they can get Avellone to give some comments so all the fanboys/girls come running.

 

[crawlkill]

wasn't KOTOR 2 super buggy and unfinished at the end of its patch cycle? high-rez patches are nice and all, but I don't wanna throw myself into a broken game =\ or did fan patches clean a lot of that up?

 

[Stinger]

TSLRCM is also a bugfixing patch.

With this new patch + TSLRCM there is really no reason for anyone to call the game buggy or unfinished anymore.

I've played Kotor 2 with the most recent TSLRCM version and it is done and extremely stable. I think I remember maybe one CtD while playing it.

I personally wouldn't recommend the M4-78 planet for anyone wondering as it really slows the pacing to a crawl and while it's impressive that the team built it from such limited assets and information it really isn't all that good. I'd also recommend people to actually put thought into building Hk-47 because while the majority of the game is stupidly easy and there's a pretty long section where you have to solo as HK and it can be frustratingly hard if you just go autopilot while levelling him.

Damn,not sure why they didn't get Obsidian to do it though

Maybe they wanted the game to remain enjoyable.

 

[Shin]

Cool, free shit. Does this work if you have a retail CD?

I wonder when n-Space is going to make a new KotOR game. Or when Beamdog does KotOR: EE. Obsidian will probably get screwed out of the next Fallout spin-off as well, mark my words.

played this on xbox back in the day, one of my favourite games

rebought, installing now

 

[Jasede]

I cannot recommend this game, or rather, the writing in this game, enough to anyone who hasn't played it yet. Arguably MCA's best work, even though that is a bit of a controversial statement here. Many ideas from PS:T, refined and honed to a sharp point.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Probably part of the overall media blitz up to the release of episode vii. With swtor also getting a huge redesign and update, and all the new game releases

 

[Duraframe300]

Hassat Hunter Do you know if this patch is a one time deal or if we get support for a bit? Because there are a few resolution related issues.

 

[Makabb]

Kotor 2 sales spiked on steam and once again you can see it on the list.

It has more players than planetside 2 or modern warfare 3

Question: do you guys think this kind of thing could realistically become standard? From the $$$ standpoint, the game is now one of Steam's topsellers for ~8 bucks/yuro, and AFAIK the topseller list takes into consideration the amount of $$$ people spent on game, not how many copies it sold.
So it brought whomever owns KOTOR 2 now a fair bit of gold and all that for some cheevos (!!!) and patching.
Do you think other old games would also start selling anew if they got a face lift and some patching?
Can jet fuel really melt steel beams?

Support for a bit.

fwiw, the KOTOR game on ios that they did was a great port, played it twice.

 

[Bonerbill]

Aspyr makes some excellent Linux and Mac ports, so it's no surprise they added some nice goodies and updates for the Windows, Mac, and Linux version of the game.

Now hopefully they'll make an update for the KOTOR 1 on the PC. The mobile port was excellent.

 

[shiteatingnippledick]

What a genius fucking update, they integrate what existing mods can do and add achievements. People buy it in masses.

Not that it's nothing new considering all the old games with only dosbox launchers, they wouldn't get even a fraction of the money if they'd sell straight up dos versions, people seem to love easy access.
Maybe those poor bastards like playing games instead of modding them.

Spoiler

I'm tempted to buy it myself now, even if all the money goes to Disney only

Restored content mod should be integrated it has so many fixes it should be mandatory.

Well it's couple of clicks away, I doubt that is too hard even for people of today. I'm sure vanillatards would go crazy too if they implemented restored content.

Can this patch be applied to the disc/non-steam version? I know it had an update you could run through the launcher, anything there?

Does anyone know where I can see a list of all the Kreia predictions that you get at the end (pretty much the game's ending slides) and what causes them? I think most companions have a different prediction based on their alignment at the end, and a few of the planets get different fates based on who you sided with during their main quests. Managed to see what I think is most of them from a few youtube videos + my own saves that I have on this computer, but I am specifically looking for a dark side Visas one, if anyone remembers (entirely possible it's the same, Mandalore's).

I thought this post was going to make me rage at first.

I would even say the writing in Kotor 2 is better than in PS:T. I wonder what went horribly wrong with PoE and the 'Ajjykuularrooetooe' writing
