Plus you get all current DLCs for free if you didn't have them already.

    More importantly CD Projekt Red is a great example of releasing their games DRM-free because they respect their customers.

    Okay, if CD go through with this, I'll officially forgive them for the cyberpunk fiasco

    ...I still probably won't buy their stuff day 1, but I'll at least have some faith in their future products

    Why does a modern game need a remaster already? I haven't even finished Witcher 1.

    Sometimes they make some mistakes, but overall a good one

    Wait I've read this a few times and felt jealous. Turns out I own that game! Hell yeah, free shit.

    I’m still not sure about Switch. I have the OG version, will I get the upgrade for 2 or would I need to re-buy it?

    As far as I understand, Remaster will be added to Switch. New DLC will only be for Switch 2, I think? Haven't looked into all the details.

    Bummed I don't have a 2, tho. Can't afford it either atm ...

    All I could see is that remaster will be released for Switch 2 - and I doubt it’d work on Switch 1. No word on any upgrades for the Switch 1 version (which I have a physical version of).

    They won't do it because as Mr Krabs said "I like money"

    Didn't witcher 3 already get a remaster a few years ago?

    Yeah, we had a first remaster but what about second remaster?

    Not a full remastere, it got a "RTX" upgrade? They added ray tracing and stuff but they kept the same assets otherwise (no new models, textures, etc).

    My poor old PC and card were already struggling before the remaster. Now it won't be able to play it at all and I can't afford to upgrade cuz every PC part costs a mortgage.

    Weren’t the extra graphics from the remaster update an optional setting?

    Just build your own transistors out of mica you sift from your local stream, dude. Seriously. I'm tired of hearing all these complaints about the unavailability of computer parts. Back in my day we used to build our own computers out of whatever scraps we found in the fridge from last night's dinner. Kids these days just need to bootstrap themselves some high-performance GPUs and stop complaining.

    (/S, in case it wasn't obvious)

    Settings low? Or is that not enough?
    I'm sorry for your loss if it isn't.

    Feels unfair if you don't want the upgrade. It should be an optional dlc or something.

    Is it confirmed to be an update to the existing game or a separate game added to your account?

    Rockstar did the same with gta v enhanced edition where it was added to your steam account for free but you can still play the original one as well.

    The original game is a optional update you can install. Similar I assume this will also just be the new default with the upgraded graphics and original graphics being optional installs / betas

    Absolutely insane how little it takes for people to worship a mega corporation that was caught abusing employees and publicly lying for years just the other day.

    I wonder why the video game industry is so bad.

    Man, it's getting a fucking free expansion with 20-40 hours gameplay... (to connect witcher 3 and 4)

    The last two W3 DLCs were extremely good. They’re going to be motivated for this one. I just hope the no delays crowd and the needs to be perfect at launch crowds can work things out.

    Spoiler alert: the no delays crowd is wrong.

    This and the new DLC makes me hope that CP2077 might get a second DLC sometime.

    I never finished the first one and can't bring myself to skip ahead or play the enhanced edition when I know a remaster is around the corner. I have a feeling that once that happens, there's going to be a solid year where it's all I play and just blaze through the entire series.

    I never really got in to the game. It was a bit too open and easy to go off the rails and then have trouble getting back to things.

    I never really got into “roll your own character” games. I was never creative enough and would always get stuck on that. Probably why I never got into D&D.

    They could let us customize the MCs appearance like in Mass Effect. I just can't get into a story where I'm playing as a symbol of hypermasculinity.

    I had the same problem at first but when I started mixing it started to be more fun. And the great thing is that you can do most quests even when you are done with the main story. So you can just do the main story and then explore the world later. I also found that the main story led you through the world quite well.

    Got it on sale for a few bugs. Never played. Maybe I should start over.

    Bought it on Switch, played a bit and never got that far.

    Bought it on GOG too, played even less. It's cool that save sync works between them.

    I, too, hope to start over and actually play it through this time. I'm definitely going to like it, it's just hard to get in the habit of playing it and it's not the kind of game you can just casually launch every couple of months.

    Tbf though it looked good enough on release that no one would rebuy it anyway...

    If they really want to remaster something it would make more sense to do witcher 1 or 2...

    my thoughts too. it's not that big of a remaster to take money for it

    the graphics have been updated recently and the gameplay tweaks are not that extensive

    i think they are just refreshing the game a bit before releasing the new dlc

    Should be smacking Nintendo. I would have bought a Switch 2 on day one just to play my Switch 1 games with slightly better performance. Now I'm just skipping the console on principle.

    I’d like to smack Bethesda for making zero content mod breaking updates multiple times a year, and Steam too for forcing those updates on a 10+ year old single player game. At this point they have killed the modding scene in favor of paid mods and hyping up their fucking TV show.

    SMACK

    Wait. Are you telling me switch 2 can play my physical switch 1 games? Thats insane.

    I have a good deal for the online expansion through a family plan and I heard they also don't let me use the GameCube emulator on switch 1!

    I don’t own one but I think so. The issue the OP here is talking about is they want you to purchase a $10-$20 “upgrade” to take advantage of the better performance of the Switch 2.

    Thats incredibly stupid and anti consumer.

    why do we need remasters before the next installment of a game?

    between super mario 64 and super mario world we got super mario rpg. nowadays we have to wait until 12 of our daughters get married to play a new title in the series when we started playing the game in elementary school.

    would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title? they would have generated massive income even if those games sucked.

  • source

    I don't entirely agree with you there. If it's been a long time between two installments, you generally want to replay the old one first and it's nice to have the option to play a remastered version if it's been done well.

    would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title?

    That kills the hype for the next game because everyone goes "oh they've lost it", meaning possibly more work for less money if the highly anticipated game sells less because of it.

    rockstar should instead release gta6 without woke, with KBM support (as comes out consoles only 1st), more robust multiplayer solution (APB only much better) and server-side, statistics based(!) anticheats with massive, double-barrel permabans on dbag cheaters. THEN it worths adding more and more content... without that, no expansion worth a penny as the minute you join a game you get force-frozen, locked out, instant-killed, etc. (see: gta5)...

    about cdprj: they still didn't add TOGGLE ads in CP2077 and remapping keys is still a bug-fest joke... so... tell me about them....

    I haven't played the older games much, but I can definitely tell you Vice City was woke, San Andreas was woke, IV was woke, V was woke.

    I don't understand why you'd want them to change now. Clearly the previous games were successful.

    But like seriously, go back to the existing games. Listen to the radio stations, both the ads and the talk shows. Perhaps check out some missions' plots.

    They make fun of conservatives, cults and American society in general. They ALSO make fun of a lot of things and people that aren't conservative, but the political right rightfully gets hit more.
