Hopefully they will revisit them just long enough to throw them in the trash and implement an entirely different combat system than the bad ones they had in Witcher 1.
I couldn't get myself to play the first 2 Witcher games due to the dated mechanics but I watched other people stream their play throughs at the time. > [removed] the playing cards players can earn that depict pinup art of Geralt's various sexual partners.

I'm not sure "laundering reputation" is how I would frame "re-evaluating including potentially objectionable content in a remake".
I also think this is the reason for Naughty Dog rereleasing The Last of Us on PS5. Though the engine itself was written in C++, it used a lot of Scheme code to generate game data and components and I think they want to move off that because it's baffling to the new devs they want to onboard.
I'm waiting for Id Software to throw in the towel and rerelease Unreal versions of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The GTA remaster issues were hardly due to the engine. People over-focus on the engine. I wouldn't worry about this.
The graphics look plastic. Is it not because of an engine? Serious question.
these are more examples of modelling issues but it shows how little care and QA went into the remake:

I'll just wait for it to be modded back in.
[EDIT] Actually a few other mainstream non-porn games have done almost the same thing, since, too. The Saboteur comes to mind. Some whole series are all about that sort of thing, like DOA.

I think the cards had basically nothing to do with the game success, and judging from the comments here, it seems the first game wasn't even all that successful in the first place.
> Now we know that it's a ground-up remake of the game that introduced Geralt of Rivia to Witcher fans outside of Poland. I was always of the impression that it was Witcher III that achieved this. I'm Polish so I genuinely don't know. Were the previous two installments popular outside of Poland?

I played the Witcher when it was released back in the day; I had heard some vaguely good things about it, and it seemed like something I would enjoy. I had no idea the card thing existed until I actually received one. I remember laughing at how silly it was. I felt it kinda fit within the kind of semi-serious adult theme of the game; "your mother sucks dwarven cock" etc. From what I recall, the second game was a bit…
