welcome to the skilled podcast we're talking about the latest news
the latest scheme releases and even really interesting hardware
let's get started are hey whats talk about Knights of the Old Republic 2
at a huge up the is kinda than expected but it's very good
8 it goes all the way up to 5k resolution
which I don't know anybody who can actually run that yet but there's also
40 up for people with really good computers
this team cloud saves 37 achievements are added
need widescreen resolution supported that's probably the most relevant that
in the steam clancy's
right and then there's X input support and was export for all kinds controllers
but X input is obviously the big one and steam well and also
by the mining community yep well and on top of that
it actually supports Mac and Linux now which I mean yes a smaller community
more small community but
cracked you know it is actually really
awesome that you know it's a game that you know
it does have a cult following in terms of the Knights of the Old Republic
the fact that they went to the effort and it this was Aspira which is sort of
a parting company they're known for this kinda stuff and Disney
mean it is cool specially know it
it's been out for that long and you babe went through the effort up
updating it that Kappa stuff can
actually do a lot for company in terms of the you know just
good faith then I mean when people looked at me when I saw people you know
look at that their
people went and played again and I like wow you know I can actually play this is
for that's why people playing right now
ten-year-old jeanine that's good it's really good
I me that bet that spent I mean and
if there's this things that you can work of %uh that obviously from up your
publisher angle
you know appeared if another Star Wars game is coming out
for Disney I mean there is that sign up all hey they went through the effort up
you know
poor you know doing that effort on that proper portion for you know
King annette to the Republic to you know maybe I'll take a look at that there is
that you know sorta
see that you plant that people may be a little bit more
willing to look at a new game years in the future so
om that's a really good move on Disney's part and I asp is part at this point
because Bain
be knew what game me now it as a little bit call following an im sorry im late
again
me or was it there was eugene when it came out I remember that
the first and the second one right ariane
they didn't they didn't there were questions about whether or not they're
gonna do the same thing for a night to the
Old Republic one om that's a little bit more complicated because the BioWare
situation because it Bioware is involved in that and natural
it wasn't but I'm not sure if they did i din I don't know
I don't think they were and that that wouldn't saw
there may be something there the the aspirate the company that did the party
said a look if we're willing to
you know if they're willing to let us take a look at it
gabardine will be well and you know take a look at this point they have been
ruled out
arm I also like the fact that some in that thread
listen to the discussion announcement um geology they're working with Goga after
games come to try to
on get on G O G as well so not only steam by
those who bought it and I'm Goga's also going to get the update in question
which is nice to see
yeah
well it makes you wonder if more teams heat up the timing of every game has the
resources to do it
I mean is a Star Wars from his that's why but like there are some games
unlike you know late 90's early 2000's the Dhoni run on Windows E
by Kenya Windows XP machine just just to run it compatible the bad guys
compatibility doesn't even work but you can order it on Steam
but it just won't work unless you're Windows XP
I remember a incident a couple of months ago I wrote about regarding
dark boy during the a some add
that it was during the summer sale where the old DRM other system
from a company stopped working and people were complaining that they're
buying the sale game
that they couldn't actually pay play at that point arm
you this probably situations that ever you know led to that as well
you know it is nice seeing all games get revived at this point I wonder how much
how much how much sales they earned of this at this point because I mean
there are going to be people who are like I couldn't play it because I axe
yinz
now especially and especially with the refund system again coming into play
where
you know you've heard a lot about it now there's no new support other 4k
resolution
maybe you give it a try and if you don't like it okay refund at that point but
com again a good area is solid move on their part in terms of
I would like to see what the sales numbers are now that that that that will
be interesting
mister here what happens there was far is actually playing it because I had it
and I haven't touched since I bought it like last year on a seam seal
II booted up and wide screen support is good
I remember there was when I first bought it there was a hack to do it
there is some community mod and which it worked but you know that's kind of a
hassle
so I'm glad they the right there was one of the things I first looked into way
when I bought it so that's that the
the widescreen mode works well the only thing is a defaulted to like the old
resolution by some
1024 768 so had to finagle a little there
I'm it's got the graphics options for liking it a listen all that I'm not sure
if those
I think there was already in the game
but that works well and X input from me
work pretty much flawless controller worked as it should and the game is
built for
both mouse and keyboard in control workers was on x box on the original
Xbox
and you know there are some glitches when actually gone to the game
little tiny things here and there but nothing that would take me out to the
game it felt like I was playing
you know thought I was playing the good version of the game
right like Ben and bring it on the original x-box you know
where would run policy at leader rather play here now that's got the wide screen
support
and n it's the little things that the company did like the dog
one of the big mutts ominously was a kiss expansion mod up some sort that
the community created the better the ad Steam Workshop
to the game was sorta surprising them and not not only from that angle up you
two ten-year-old game reading steam wash
workshop support what the one my that was in there
was that mod it so it's at it seems like this company knew exactly what their
user base wanted
which again goes a long way in terms of be like okay
I trust you for your sup going forward because it seems like you know exactly
what your user base once
and usually that route comes out into a great product
