Looks exactly the same, tbh. That's fine, and I hope the raytracing options fix some of the wonky shadows.

They said they added some small quests and recorded extra voice lines with all the Geralts. Also added a full chinese dub, if that interests anyone.

The new/alternative Dandelion looks wrong.

It's not incredible looking or anything, but I have an RX5700 on its way to me right now and so I'm happy I'll get to see what all this raytracing poo poo is about.

sorry, but if that's indeed the card you're getting, it's not gonna be able to pull off any RT in this game

Typo! It's a 6700XT. I'm jumping from a 1070 though so even a 5700 would have been a slight upgrade :v:

I didn't pay a lot for it (work covered half, even), so I'm not expecting anything earth shattering. It has the features so I can at least see what the current gen looks like and it's a good step up from the 1070.

You're not bumming me too hard - I appreciate being able to set my expectations appropriately!

it's a good card, AMD is just really behind Nvidia in RT (which is still really more of a novelty except in the highest end cards because of the performance cost)

Yeah, my understanding of RT is that it's mostly a gimmick, but I'm a sucker for nice scenes so if I can have those reflections and still have a decent time... I'm here for it.

I figure it'll get switched off eventually tho

FSR 2 & DLSS implementation
4K Quality textures and models
Reworked screen space reflections
Better visuals across the board on PS5, comparable to Ultra graphics settings on PC
A fully integrated photo mode
A new gameplay camera option, which positions the camera close to Geralt, over his right shoulder (a bit like the camera in God of War Ragnarok)
Two graphics settings on PS5: performance (60fps) and quality (30fps with raytracing)
Full DualSense controller support, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in gameplay
New controls for Sign casting — hold down the trigger and press a Sign's assigned face button to use Signs without having to open the radial menu in combat
Much faster load times on PS5 when loading your game or fast travelling
The map now has filters, letting you disable or enable certain icons
Small gameplay tweaks and rebalancing throughout the game (to be fully detailed in upcoming patch notes)
New walking and running controls, giving you more control over Geralt's movement speed (optional)
Subtitles can be made larger
You can now pause the game during cutscenes
Simplified Chinese voice acting and localisation added
Improved localisation for other languages
Hybrid minimap option, which makes the minimap fade away after a set amount of time (until you press the focus button again)
A new quest inspired by Netflix's The Witcher series
New swords, armours, and items
Alternate outfit for Dandelion
Cross-save and cross-progression across all platforms
Looking good.

Glad to hear that Geralt will no longer break his shins after falling down a ladder

edit: I don't see a reason to replay this game but it is nice that they're giving it a bit more love after all these years.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I only ever finished W3 and Hearts of Stone once and never played more than the intro to Blood & Wine, so I am absolutely diving back into this.

Maybe I'll force myself to see a Triss romance through to the end this time...

It's in the options, under DLC. There's just a toggle for the things.

Even found new-to-me content this last play through. If you do the little night quest in Oxenfurt to get rid of some guys harassing a lady there’s a follow-up later in a corner of the city just south of the western gate that I’d never seen or heard of before the harassers jump you but the lady shows up with a sword and helps you out, turns out she can take care of herself afterall

Played twice, once completely new to the franchise and once after having read all the books and having played W1 & W2

I’ve never actually seen the triss romance, I got….too ambitious and got a different resolution for my second run. Time for a third I suppose (but not like last time)

I played Horizon Zero Dawn earlier this year and immediately noticed Doug Cockle as random background characters in that game since he's reading the lines in Geralt's raspy voice.

Witcher 1 Remake with an open world

https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1597273284634091521?s=20&t=_0Y4tVYR4Ezu89tBp8OS_A

Interesting. I looked at that presentation and it says it won't be a remake but a 'modern reimagining'

Incidentally I decided to replay Witcher 1 (and maybe 2) ((and maybe 3, too)) and coming back to it after playing Wild Hunt feels so nostalgic

woosh woosh
I am actually a little bit disappointed that the Witcher remake will be fully open world. I thought the Witcher 1's "closed open world" with distinct areas per chapter was great and kept things from feeling too aimless, and it let different parts of the world change over the course of the game while other parts stayed mostly the same which kind of let the passage of time feel real as opposed to just little flags being set in the world. And being separated from the main town for a chapter and then returning later to find it in shambles is a thing that's harder to pull off in an open world game.

Being less faithful also gives them more ways to gently caress up. Hopefully it won’t be a repeat of the Rise of the White Wolf, their previous attempt at outsourcing a W1 remake.

Yeah, I feel the same way. If open world means that e.g. in chapter 3 we get to travel from trade quarter to the swamp without any loading screens, then that's cool, but I don't really see a point in making the whole game open world
