Defining Duke, Episode 151 | Can Xbox Save The KOTOR Remake?!
Added 2023-11-23 17:00:11 +0000 UTCWhat was once a defining Xbox exclusive has made its way to PlayStation. Now, reports are in that the Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake is in a world (or galaxy!) of trouble with development at a complete standstill and PlayStation wanting out. Many fans, us included, are calling on Xbox to, if legality permits it, be the saviors of this troubled project. From legacy to the habit of fixing up the likes of Bethesda and Activision, we're led to believe that this may be a great fit. Does Xbox have it in them and is this a remake even worth saving? Plus, we dive into the success that Yakuza has found on Xbox and how ATLUS plans to replicate the same gameplan for the upcoming Persona 6. With Persona 6 coming to Xbox, has the brand finally solidifed itself as a major JRPG platform? We also tackle the omission of Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3's physical copies, ID @ Xbox's massive success, Call Of Duty's current reception, Xbox's declining European sales, and much more!

Gents thanks for tackling the politically-oriented question. I worry too that stories, messages, and characters are all one sided and token-esque. Also, didn't mean to throw shade with the end of my question. Just trying to close in a funny way. Love the show!

2023-11-27 11:47:13 +0000 UTCMatty as a fan of the Logitech g cloud, have you tried the 3rd party apps for Xbox game streaming? You can play local and xcloud game streaming at 1080p across win/android/iOS/Linux... I'm currently using the xbplay app. It's really good and I wish more Xbox gamers knew about it. I highly recommend it. Check out their subreddit for more info. Its pretty bad that I need to use a third party app to get 1080p local and cloud streaming. I was hoping ms would have updated it recently to keep up with the portal

2023-11-27 07:08:52 +0000 UTCMatty! As someone who is also playing Yakuza all the way through at the moment, I recommend using the rog/PC for Y3 at a minimum and 4 too. The graphics on rog, ultra settings/uncapped fps 10w power is much, much better. The third game on Xbox didn't get the same remake love that Kiwami 1 and 2 got. I'm not going to lie... Y3 is pretty rough. They increased the amount of blocking the ai does and it slows it down a lot. I'd recommend just getting through it on easy.

2023-11-26 23:45:52 +0000 UTCFeel like cog spoils a bit too much of yakuza imo

2023-11-26 23:31:42 +0000 UTCUK sales are bad, too, and Xbox is getting destroyed in even the United States. Have you guys considered that maybe, just maybe, Microsoft is dramatically misreading the market?

I have a physical copy for the PC version, that game was such a good surprise for an excellent video game and also Star Wars with quality. The fact they can’t seem to make that project a reality I feel is so indicative of what’s wrong with the industry. Oh, well, cheers

2023-11-25 14:49:34 +0000 UTCSeemed like a big and relevant piece of news to only spend a couple of minutes on. I think Cog was saying engagement trended up as a result of Starfield? But even still, console sales were down during the same time. I get that gamepass is the priority but at what cost?

2023-11-23 19:24:18 +0000 UTCYou're absolutely right! I played it for the first time in 2019 and loved it. I tried to play when it came out for IOS and it just didn't click for me. Glad I gave it a go on xbox backward compatibility.

2023-11-23 18:38:01 +0000 UTCI hope someone saves the KOTOR remake. I played the backwards compatible version recently on xbox for the first time and the story is 10/10. Just modernize the combat a bit and update the graphics.
