Has CDPR run out of ideas, but still had a bag of promises to make? They promised CP77 extensions and multiplayer, The Witcher 3 in 4k, now remaking Witcher 1? I'm kindof disappointed with this news and not hearing updates about previous "updates".

#82Easier to build a game you already know in a new game engine than to create a completely new game. Especially if you don't want the game to be filled with bugs.
CD has always used in an house game engine for their games.

#84I don't know why, this makes me a bit sad. You can sort of feel a game engine when you're playing a game. The GTA trilogy lost a lot when they did their remastering project with a different engine. Although I'm sure it can be done well. StarCraft remastered was done really well, but I believe they built on top of their existing engine.
>don't know why, this makes me a bit sad. You can sort of feel a game engine when you're playing a game. absolutely. whenever a friend is playing anything with specific shader/specular/lighting styles I always yell "Unity!" while watching him. I'm generally dead-on accurate with those guesses. It's definetly not coincidence at this point; there is some default behavior or lighting gimmick I can generally always cue i…

#85I, for one, am tired of consuming warmed up content I've played through before. Be it Diablo 2 Resurrected or Mass Effect or or or. Create something new, don't refurbish old stuff. Such a waste.

Its a third party studio doing the remake, CDPR probably won't be diverting many internal resources away from their existing in-house projects for this. also this is just follow-up to a previous announcement where they announced 5 projects in various stages of development on top of info about the CP2077 expansion: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/10/cd-projekt-red-witcher-cybe...
They couldn't deliver 1 good project CP77, but now committing to 5 at around the same time?

Also "currently in development" does not mean every game is getting equal resources, or that each game is in the same stage of development.

While it's surely a constant, I think the entertainment industries at large have really started to milk the nostalgia cow hard I could say a bunch of soft science things like, go with a sure thing in an uncertain market, blah blah. I think it's simply easier

The start was about 20 years ago, but I do agree

> Their stock price is near 5 year low, how can they afford it? Stock price has nothing to do with how much money CDPR has in their bank accounts. Stock trading is basically a public opinion poll on the future of the company, but not a penny from those trades actually goes to company accounts.
TL;DR: Companies still depend on equities as a funding mechanism.

On the other hand Geralt waves his sword above his head like an idiot in Witcher 1. I hate remakes but if I had to have one this would be one. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/rkdbnv/started_play... But yeah I want new stories more.
