Unless you make a living as a gaming journalist and writer, you probably never had one. the opportunity to see the presentation of the game behind closed doors at a larger exhibition. But now everyone has the opportunity, thanks to Noclip’s YouTube channel and its new efforts to archive and digitize all sorts of reports, behind-the-scenes and presentations that have been preserved on recycled physical media. And among them we find never seen before presentation of the first part of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic from BioWare and LucasArts, which took place behind closed doors at E3 2001.

Fans of the famous RPG of 2003 can now see what one of the most important games for the original Xbox looked like, which, of course, also came to PC. more than 2 years before release. It is worth paying attention to the beginning of the almost twenty-minute presentation of the BioWare veteran. Casey Hudson. It shows a number of concepts from development so we can see how the creators originally envisioned various companions such as Jolie Bindo, HK-47 and Bastila Shan. Against the design of the Ebon Hawk, the Sith fighter, or the main villain Darth Malak apparently survived the entire development without significant changes.
An early form of Bastila is also used in the game editor demo. In it, the developers from BioWare decided to present very advanced animation for its timeas well as character model behavior or procedural synchronization of mouth movement and voice acting.
But the highlight of the more than 20-year-old presentation is undoubtedly the view of the city on the planet Tatooine. It’s not only about proving that the need to shove the iconic sand planet wherever possible in the Star Wars universe is nothing new.. Seriously, this isn’t just a question related to an animated series available on Disney+, but a tradition, though Tatooine is generally considered a backwater, an almost forgotten hole. The main thing to see during the presentation things that didn’t make it into the final game, like the more or less smooth running of landspeeders on the streets.
We’ve saved thousands of videotapes from landfill. Tapes full of video game history.
We are now collecting and uploading anything of historical value, both from the Internet Archive and the new YouTube channel.

It also looks like Tatooine was originally supposed to be occupied by Sith forces, so we have certain hints of gradual changes in the plot of the game. They can also be seen on the city-planet Taris, which first appeared in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Taris then also offers hints at a grander and more cinematic take on lightsaber combatthan what the final game offered, or the confrontation with Malak at the very end of the presentation.
So if you want to go back in time to 2001 for a few minutes and experience what the journalists at E3 could have experienced back then, now you can. We just got a bad feeling that you too More than 20-year-old snippets from BioWare, quite possibly, yet more than anything, the creators of the coming remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. For a change, in addition to the PC, he set his sights on the PlayStation 5.
It continues to be true that the development of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake project is, according to available information, quite complex, so it is completely unclear when and if the work of Aspyr Media and Saber Interactive will be released.. We haven’t seen anything in the game itself yet, so if you still believe you’ll be able to play a remake of the classic RPG from a galaxy far, far away, the E3 2001 reveal of the original might keep you waiting longer. a little shorter. And who knows, maybe it will make you want to play the original KOTOR again. Although, in our opinion, a person should have such a need always and under any circumstances.
