I just saw a copy of Jedi Power Battles a few months back at my local retro gaming site and considered getting it. Glad I didn't now that this is hitting.
What we actually need is the remake of revenge of the sith from the PS2 era which has the best lightsaber combat by far.
Add a lot more characters and online mode and make the story mode a lot longer so it covers episodes 1-6 and clone wars and everyone will be happy and everything will be perfect forever
I hated a couple of few things about this game, when you attack an enemy and they break from your combo, especially battle droids when youre on a platform above a pit which is like 100% of the game! and they flip you into it, and the other thing is when you get sniped jumping from one platform to the other, that part on Tattoine sucks, you gotta deflect laser blasts back at Darth mauls scouter droids, pain in the ass, its hella random and rare youll hit them 1st time.
A improve leveling up and stats system would be nice, like more moves or special moves get level 1 to a level 3-5 version of moves. or more bonus stats perks/buffs features, or like choice to swap of 5 force powers in a select menu then 3 powers for each character.
Why didn't they just remaster the far more valued Racer Revenge, Rogue Squadron II, and especially Revenge of the Sith? This'll go the way of the prehistoric bird alongside the Rebel Assault games and that Turok 3 remaster.
And if they do the same with Masters of Teras Kasi…
No! No online multiplayer/co-op! Remember the remasters of Jedi Academy and Battlefront Classic Collection? Aspyr and online multiplayer don't mix! They're better off sticking to single player and couch co-op only.
When you put out that post i couldn't think of anything; it seemed like everything I wanted was being addressed. But watching this, something did pop up: Enemy scaling for co-op. I dont know if that's the proper term, so let me try to explain. In some arcade beat-em-ups, if more than one player was playing, the game would increase the number of enemies per level (based on how many players there were) I bring this would up because there is an EXP element to Jedi Power Battles. Defeating enemies & getting pickups all grant you points. And at the end of a level, you could unlock new features by clearing certain milestones (Get X amount of points to unlock a bew combo, increas health, etc). In the original game, there was no enemy scaling for co-op. So depending on how the game was played, it could really unbalance & complicate the gane if one ater is getting all the points & upgrades and another isn't
I would like to see a remaster/remake/spiritual sequel to Star Wars Super Bombad Racing with more playable characters and tracks spanning the entire Star Wars franchise, not just Episode I.
The one thing I wanted back in the PS1 days was for online multiplayer. I never had friends to play this with and it's finally come to modern consoles with the power to utilize it… and no indication of online play. I also never understood why there wasn't a Power Battles Episode 2 or 3. (but Revenge of the Sith game is kinda similar which I why I think I loved it so much)
You can still access "share play" on Playstation if you're a plus member. You can play online co-op even if your friend doesn't own the game. I did this with my brother playing Blazing Chrome, and it was beautiful. Highly recommend LAN cable for share play.
They're really remastering every Star Wars game they can get their hands on (and rights to), and I am all for it… just curious how many of these will be worthwhile experiences to go back to.
To be honest I'd rather have a straight up sequel. There are so many movies and tie-ins now, that it feels quite a bit of waste having Episode 1 The Phantom Menace as the only place for Jedi Power Battles.
We could instead have episodes 1-9, maybe with additional Mandalorian or Rogue One characters and levels for special unlocks.
You'll have Obi Wan (young and old), Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Qui Gon, Plo Koon (with optional amber lightsaber), Yoda, Rey, Sifo Dyas, Anakin, Mace Windu, Captain Panaka, rest of the council, and so on…
For villains you'll have Darth Vader, Boba and Jango Fett, Greedo, Darth Maul (single and double lightsaber), Kylo Ren, Snoke, Palpatine, maybe Plagoueis, Dooku, Darth Jar Jar (as a parody) and so on..
The levels and locations can be more varied. It would be fun trying to unlock more characters and upgrading all their skills and abilities. There could also be an additional dual vs mode akin to like ROTS tie in.
Being able to gauge jump distances 💀

Come on guys let’s get real !!!
We all need a knights of the old republic 1 and 2 remaster.
Cut the S..T 🤷♂️
Adi Gallia better have her Red Lightsaber 😂
Gamers are getting back to the old days and I love it. We seeing remasters of classic games instead of a new gen games every dang month
I'm excited for this, but Aspyr botched the Battlefront release so I am waiting for the release and reviews
Fans do NOT want “Jedi Power battles” we want a new Star Wars game that actually works at launch.. cough cough Ubisoft
This was my favorite Star Wars game growing up and been asking for this forever this is insane I still can’t believe it
3:57 that's what the Concordance of Fealty does to you…
EDIT: 5:28 a Hutt with a lightsaber? Beldorion the Splendid can do away with getting out of Nam Chorios for a minute

Jedi Power Bottoms
Not with aspyr taking over. After STBF remake I'm not confident this will come out good
More jedis for sure
One word… Aspyr. That answers every question in this video. Sadly.
i am not surprised they use the dreamcast version as base for this coz it is better than the ps1 version

Would like to see a ROTS remaster. More Jedi and stages to play as for vs mode and an added easy difficulty. And have the graphics be in 60 fps.
No we dont want a Crash style change. Keep it real
A improve leveling up and stats system would be nice,
like more moves or special moves get level 1 to a level 3-5 version of moves.
or more bonus stats perks/buffs features,
or like choice to swap of 5 force powers in a select menu
then 3 powers for each character.

Now I wanna see Aspyr do a remaster of The Phantom Menace.
Im heppy with that
5:15 nope. Dooku was not Jedi in the moment od E1
All Aspyr needs to do is launch this game with mod support. Then everyone will be happy
People expecting anything more than a low effort port are going to be sorely disappointed
Only sequel trilogy heroes please
Aspyr is doing the remaster so expect almost none of these requests, possibly even new issues being added.
I do not think it's a remaster…. It was never marketed as a remaster either….
we shouldn't forget the steam apps which let us play a couch multiplayer online. It works very well !

Dreamcast hell yeah
Well on steam couch coop can be turned into a kind of online multiplayer but it still fucks over console players

This game sucks in what god awful trash world would they remaster this over literally anything else? Oh right…
I just absolutely love your videos

I wish Clone Wars was coming back

When you say fans are excited for this; how many tens of people are we talking about?
Completed it as a 12 year old but my god it was a tough journey
