Loved Jade Empire. The golden age of Bioware.

I never got a chance to play this Predator game, but Jade Empire definitely deserves a chance at remake.

Yeah. It sounds like it is in development hell. 2025 minimum, but it's indefinitely paused.

It was suspended and then IIRC the next day it was moved to a new studio, who presumably are already working on it.

Development was originally with Aspyr, who had made the mobile ports or KotOR 1 and 2, along with some help from Saber Interactive. Both are owned by Embracer Group, with Saber being a direct subsidiary of Embracer while Aspyr was bought by Embracer and placed within Saber in 2021.

A few months ago several key people within Aspyr... um... decided that they wanted to spend more time with their families and moved on to pursue new and exciting opportunities as far away as possible from the Embracer Group, which wishes them well in their future endeavors. That's the source of the "KotOR Remake Is Doomed" headlines.

Embracer then announced that Aspyr's parent company Saber Interactive would be taking over development. They had previously been working with Aspyr so it shouldn't be too huge of a shock. The ownership of the game hasn't changed, just the people working on it.

Now, I have no inside information on how these two studios operate or what their culture is like, but at least there won't be battles over ownership of IP, licenses, or any of that which has doomed other games in the past.

Concrete Jungle was alot of fun! The controls are difficult to master but once you get it the experience is amazing. A remake would be a miracle to see

Still waiting for a PC port or remake of Heavenly Sword

I'd love to see Heavenly Sword again but just like Dante's Inferno they both were trashed for being God Of War knockoffs so unfortunately we'll never see those IPs again

I'm trying to emulate on Steam Deck but PS3 emulation is hardly as simple as load up a rom. There's firmware installations and finding proper PKG or ISO's is not always easy. Then you have to go to a wiki just to find the right settings to run it properly.

Jade Empire is the reason that KotOR 2 exists.

That is, the sequel was going to exist anyway, but Lucas Arts wanted Bioware to make it. Since Bioware was busy making Jade Empire they passed on it and Obsidian got the job instead.

Jade Empire remake with expanded romance stuff. Combat could be somewhat same as original. Aircraft minigame could be reworked. World overall could be more lively and not just people standing somewhere 24/7.

Concrete Jungle was the shit. I'd love to see a remake of it or just another Predator game for that matter.
