What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
Are there other examples of games integrating mods into an official update? I’m sure there’s some I’m not thinking of.

I'm almost certain there's a version of Half Life 2 that got an official release with modded material. HL2 Update I think.

Apparently the video I posted about was fake and is a modded existing PC version and not the update. Sorry folks.

The real test will be in dark environments like caves and houses. I will be looking forward to seeing how well GI functions in say the sewers of Novograd or the ruins where Keira Metz takes you.

Somehow while watching the show I came around on the Nilfgaard testicle armor. I think it went from 'hideous' to 'so hideous it's funny' after one of the big army battle scenes, so I'm excited to see who's gonna be wearing it when I turn it on in W3 lol

the main problem with the nutsack armor is that the existing nilfgaard armor already looked too cool

Also the nutsack look. That was a problem too.

Probably not, but it looks great.

Looks great in Tussaint. But yeah, the framerate is pretty bad with RTS on.

That's at 4K Ultra+ too, so I'd be interested to see how it runs at 1440p with regular Ultra or even High. Half the time in games like this the Ultra preset is barely noticeable even flipping back and forth between reference images and yet inexplicably chops off 30% of FPS.

Without DLSS even on a 3080 RTX is almost never worth it. Might be different here since it's an older game but it kinda seems like not based on that video.

Since I own an old GOTY PS4 version, I can just download the full PS5 version anytime after midnight tonight, correct? Or does it make more sense to re-download the old version today and then just the update tomorrow?

I'm probably overthinking it but my time with the Hitman games has shown me how needlessly complicated this process can be

AFAIK native PS5 versions are always their own separate port of the game that shows up as "Game X - PS5 version" in the store.

PSN recognizes that you have purchased the PS4 edition so it gives you the option to download the PS4 version or the native PS5 version for free.

So you shouldnt need to redownload the old version at all

It's a new entry and you will need to download the entire game again. On Xbox and PC it's a patch. PS5 is also a new trophy list if you care about that.

yeah you need to get the new version for ps5, it will let you download the old one for some games if they upgrade was a paid bit on content, like ghost of tsushima (absolutely worth it)

If it's a patch for PC I may hold off for a bit because I've modded the hell out of my game and I may need some updates before I jump back in.

Thanks for the answers, that makes sense. New trophy list is fun, but the stupid headshot trophy will probably still prevent me getting the plat

Yup, for me Skyrim is still linked to the taste of vomit and delirium when I had COVID two years ago. For the first couple of months I didn't want to even think of the game.

You'll probably want to disable updates then, if you're on Steam.

I'm on GOG. can I log into a new zealand VPN and start my download right now? it's supposed to release at 12am, so for me that would be in 10 hours.

edit: looking at the map, it seems the PC release is literally all at the same time: 12am UTC, so for me that would be 5pm today.

I know this is extremely old news and a weird time to bring it up on the eve of the re release but I just made it to S2 of the Netflix show and...did they somehow forget to give all the other witchers cat eyes? This seems like a very bad sign for the rest of the series

The show is dead in the water anyway, Henry Cavill seems to have been the glue that kept it together at all and he left to be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. The former producer of the show even said that the writers Netflix had assigned to the show actively dislike the books and games.

So is there no pre-download available for PS5? The store page only shows Witcher 3 PS4.

Edit: specifically is this actually going to have a ps5 version or is the ps4 version what i should be installing?
