Treadwell noted that it is now possible to build the game with a 'higher level of fidelity' than technology allowed during the original release of the game. ' We are rebuilding from the ground up,' Treadwell stated, but when asked about specific changes to the game, the producer only discussed the graphical side of the remake. PlayStation featured an interview with the KOTOR remake's lead producer, Ryan Treadwell, who made it clear that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Remake will be much more than a remaster.
