Re: The Witcher Remake Put on Ice as Dev Focuses on New Expansion and The Witcher 4

Yeah, I feel like I heard that as well. BUT... having no plans to remaster it back when they were busy with remaking W1, creating W4, updating CP, planning CP2 and planning some other new IP makes sense.

As projects release though, I hope that they remaster W2 and make it so save files from 1 affect 2 and save files from 2 affect 3. (I think that happened on PC? And the ability to choose the important decisions from prior games is always useful as well.)

I really loved Witcher 2 for its time. I kind of dig the fact that it was short enough to play through twice for different endings. That smaller game also made the story more interesting for me. That said, W3 might still be my favorite game ever. So far, that is...

Man, I was expecting Fool's Theory to be far along in development of Witcher 1 Remake.

Kind of bummed that the remake will take longer now, but it is also kind of nice if it plays and handles similarly to Witcher 4. And kinda bummed that news of a Witcher 2 Remake/Remaster haven't come up yet.

But I am a physical collector and may be looking into what they release for Switch 2 by the time all of these are indeed coming out.

Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox Disc-to-Digital Program in the Wake of Sony Decision to End PlayStation Discs

@lacerz

I'm certainly sorry that happened to you but I don't see how that has anything to do with the article.

Basically, people who already have physical copies would get a digital license. That's good. Not bad.

If their discs get stolen then they will lose their licenses. That's bad.. Not good. But also... the exact same outcome as if they lost their discs without a license.

So if you keep your discs, this is good news. Noone is stealing your license without also stealing your discs.

Then, one half of the scenario is good news. The other half is no change. So, overall, this is a bit of good news.

Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Phantom Blade Zero Poised for Gargantuan Launch

@Northern_munkey

Yeah play-asia has what looks like disc versions for Asia, Japan, Europe and North America. Unfortunately, I feel like those are placeholders for now. Thanks for the heads up, though!

Black Myth: Wukong's physical copy with an actual disc came out something like 4-5 months after the game's launch in North America.

I'd be fine with that for Phantom Blade Zero. Fingers crossed...

Re: Braid, The Witness Dev's Massive New Puzzle Game Comes to PS5 in October

WhoderMan

I remember hearing that The Witness was getting a physical release. That never happened, though.

I still think that had there been a Collector's Edition of The Witness, the box could have had some very creative elements to it. Like the perspective elements in the game. Or a papercraft that only looks right from a specific perspective.

Re: Disc-Based PS5s Now Warn Buyers About the Impending Death of Physical Games

WhoderMan

I am gonna be done with Sony and Playstation. It is a shame since I have been with them for a long time.

It will be interesting to see how consoles fare with a new generation of gamers who grew up with free ganes on their phones.

Personally, I think that the next XBox is dead on arrival and the PS6 will be similar. But time will tell. Switch 2 is gonna clean up this gen.

Re: Video: What Are Your Favourite Video Game Worlds?

WhoderMan

Just for some that I don't think have been mentioned: Legacy of Kain Blood Omen and Soul Reaver, Metal Gear Solid, Okami and Ghosts 'n Goblins/Demon's Crest/Maximo. G'nG is far from open world but its blend of cutesy/humorous horror works for me (like Medievil).
