See The Fan-Made Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Pre-Alpha In Action
A few weeks back, we wrote about Apeiron, Poem Studios' unofficial remake of BioWare's classic action-RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. A YouTuber got a chance to mess around with the game in its pre-alpha state, and you can see how it's shaping up in his four-minute video.
MrMattyPlays wanders around several of the game's environments, including Tatooine, showing off the sights. As he points out, the footage shows the game from a first-person perspective instead of the original game's third-person view. The default setting will be in the game, but players who are more used to seeing in-game worlds through their own virtual eyes will have that option.
For more info on the game, take a look at the project's site.

Our Take
If past experience has taught me anything, it's that you shouldn't get too excited for fan-made projects – particularly when they involve this kind of scale. It's great to see that work is progressing along, but there are so many moving parts to manage – not to mention the nature of Disney's legal counsel – that seeing this as a finished project would be a pleasant surprise.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
