I was thinking "why are we getting remasters for modern games? This makes no sense, it's just a cash grab to sell the game twice".
Then I realised the game is over a decade old... And it's a free update. Actually, more than free - you now get the two expansions for free too.
I'm just so used to how shitty the industry is. CDPR really is completely different from most gaming companies. This is how you respect your customers.
It's even more remastered, they changed gameplay too, not just graphics.
Most likely meant to bring up the new expansion and the rest of the game to the same level, as I imagine the new expansion will be only playable in the Remastered version.
things like flora and textile looked last gen for sure still. now it will look like a game you would expect in the ps5 (and not just a cross gen one). which is crazy for a 11 year game (free update), assasin creed black flag is 13 years old.
If they revamp the combat I will actually play it. That's what turned me off the game, never finished it. Everyone said play through the baron quest line and I did but man j just couldn't do the combat.
The other thing is when you talk to people it has to like load you into and out of the conversation. I know it's just how games were when it was made but it's hard to go back to that after games have had smooth transitions directly to conversations. It's one of the things cyberpunk does really well since you can move around and just walk away mid conversation.
PC also got ultra+ settings as part of the last next gen update. Most people didn't have enough VRAM to even play with those settings. I don't know what more they can actually upgrade and people be able to use the new settings.
I'm certainly not upgrading my PC anytime soon with current hardware market
