There's a trailer, but it's only coming to PS4 and Switch

I'm happy for PS4 and Nintendo players but very disappointed it's not coming to Steam

Edit: I dunno why but I defaulted to "It's a remaster". Hopefully they'll do a remaster for PC

It's not a remaster, it has not been described as one and it looks exactly the same as it does on PC. This is a port for Switch and PS4.

Yea, this looks like a straight port but still would be nice if we at least got a controller support on PC.

Yeah I dunno why I thought it was a remaster, my brain put it in the title somewhere LOL

That being said though I wonder if it'll support 1080p 60 on the PS4

I hope eventually we get a update for the PC version, maybe controller support and achievements like the PS4 version.

I am disappointed that this port is multiplayer only. Guess I will stick with my physical PC version.

Don't get mad boys, PC version is still vastly superior. This is a port not a remaster of the PC version without any upgrades (no widescreen hud, no better models or better textures, etc) and missing the multiplayer. The PC version with the graphics fix is still better with adjustable FOV, better models (if you picked the original archived version of the fix it included better models for certain units,), working multiplayer, working surround sound (HRTF) and controller support via steam.

I still think that losing multiplayer isn't a big loss since people remember RC more for it's single player than MP.(Unlike Battlefront and JK games.)

Also that's a good opportunity for those console players that haven't played RC before to play it for the first time.(Since RC was xbox exclusive)

Republic Commando could have new patch for PC after PS4 and Switch Release

Yeah I was super mad when I originally saw the trailer because I instantly assumed it was a remaster then rewatching it I realised there was no mention of updated textures or modern resolutions etc. I'm glad at least some interest has been shown in the game as maybe if this does well they'll remaster it or develop a sequel. The same company who did this ported KOTOR 1 & 2 to mobile and now there's new rumours circulating about KOTOR remake being in development. Despite KOTOR being my favourite Star Wars game I don't really keep up with the rumours for it too much but here's hoping if it happens it's faithful and great like the original.

I've found Steam Input works very well with this game using my 360 controller. Had to fiddle with some of the binds, and change the sensitivity to feel good, but now it feels just right.

Since they are re releasing it again they should put the effort to fix the resolution, bump mapping, and mouse sensitivity issues on the Steam version.

Why now after all these years? Could this be a way to gauge interest for a sequel? It has been a very long time and I always liked those back and forth chatty commandos, they really made the game give it's charm. So I'm hoping that we might see something from this.

Maybe Aspyr Media will announce the new patch of STAR WARS Republic Commando for PC

I'm 120% sure that the reason why they re released it because a sequel is coming. I mean can it be more obvious? They only released it on the platforms it was never released on before. Why Republic Commando of all, and why now? It's obvious why.
