Great video man! I went to the star wars universe! I have a video about it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbhldMydqZncpYk.htmlsi=p3c069J1aK8ISgTi&t=137

I would like to see some more retro game videos. Either old trailers/conferences/promotions/commercials/ect... Or maybe just make a video of yourself talking about/playing an old game that has a special place in your heart. Just an idea.

- I think you can get it - must be an early release - on something called g-o-g ?….

Psh don't get your hopes up. No way it'll be amazing or well-remembered.

Yeah, I agree. It’s quite sad that most games nowadays are just a product with no love invested in them

I think that's really only true for big, AAA games for the most part. There's plenty of games out there for you, especially if you're a fan of KOTOR. ​@@dansoare6184

That is still a thing, now it's just that there's a lot more monetary interest than never before.

But then capitalism happened.

@@Mickekzon Yeah, games and life are way better under communism.

A lot of developers were very imaginative and ambitious back then. They are still now, but back then it felt like developers felt like they could promise the moon and you could feel that they meant it even if they couldn’t deliver. Halo 2 had to scrap everything and start over in the last years of development because the earlier build just put too much on the Xbox. Stuff like that always stuck with me during this period of gaming.

@@gabethebabe3337 Yeah... That's why Halo 2 was crazy on Legendary difficulty

@@gabethebabe3337 "A lot of developers were very imaginative and ambitious back then.

I'll say no more...

@@gabethebabe3337 Sometimes the best art comes from situations where you have a lot of restrictions, where you have to get creative to achieve something. I still have some pencil work that I haven't been able to top in over 10 years of doing digital art. You can still find that ambition in the indie side, just look at all the attention to detail in games like Highfleet (made afaik by a single person) where, despite the retroish 2D nature of the game, the environments are full of detail explosions and other effects look more real than in most AAA games with budgets in the millions. Or look at something like X4, a HUGE space sandbox sim, made by a relatively small (albeit experienced) team with a tiny budget where you can sit on the flight deck of a carrier and observe the launching of fighters in real time, watch as they fly off into battle and then return to repair and resupply, then walk to an M sized deck on the ship, pull your frigate out of storage and take it to battle yourself, your frigate which itself carries a pair of smaller ships, ships inside ships inside ships. All while your trading empire autonomously rakes in profits to feed your ever expanding war machine, and your mining ships scour the systems half a galaxy away for valuable materials, all in real time.

All the way back then…? It wasn’t that long ago lol. And this was not surprising.

Shit I meant excited

the final game is cheesy af tho

could it be because the game wasnt even close to being finished?

@@purefoldnz3070 You're correct, I was only freaked out/amazed how much superior was what we saw here. At least I loved the final product and it was radically different, but still even the mighty BioWare couldn't finish this beast of a game that potentially could have been.

@@StefanBlagojevic the mighty BioWare has fallen

@@purefoldnz3070 Of course, that was BioWare in its prime, with Casey Hudson and many, many other talented Devs, that created all these glorious RPG games back in the day. From what I heard, Casey Hudson did form a new game development firm and gathered a lot of his former BioWare colleagues. They are now working on a spiritual successor to Mass Effect, it's called Humanoid: Origin. I wish them all the best, as all good things do come to an end, but then again, hopefully they rise up to the new challenge as well. Fingers crossed for a good game down the line.

At least we have Mass Effect, which reached that development potential.

Nah, 2nd one was way better, besides of the more bugs...

how did this game use pbr textures?

@@alperisler89 In some cases the game uses an early form of PBR textures - a perfect example is Selkath character model and its normal and specular textures.

Sounds like Shepherd!

The devs were probably the ones voicing the characters in this honeslty.

What are you talking about? Practical effects?!

@@finscontingencyplan7005 It's a jab at a trend regarding modern movies... not really related to games, apart from how some people think that older games were better, similarly to how some think that practical effects in movies are better.

Yes. Xbox was weaksauce.

As always the fucking consoles

@@jamin12342 At least the PC has the Yavin level. But yeah, I agree. Consoles ruin everything. There are a few mods on PC. One provides some restored content too and this is for the original KOTOR, not KOTOR 2. But it doesn't do anything as far as restoring the moving speeders and stuff like that.

Xbox has always had the yavin level, it was dlc on the original xbox and comes with the game by default nowadays on xbox one

@@tylerhatesanythingfun I unfortunately don’t know.

The one doing most of the explaining is Casey Hudson, the project lead for the game.
