I kind of wish sony would officially buy them so xbox people can just reast easy knowing nothing is officially comming instead of always being in limbo. That being said I would liketo play the secret of mana remake on xbox just with the voicework off
Never played the original Witcher game or the sequel so getting a remake for the first game in Unreal Engine 5 sounds great to me. And this is the game that’s being developed by Fools Theory. Years away but obviously, very interested in this remake.
Jesus Christ. They didn’t think they had more than enough on their plate for years to come after the announcement of a new IP, Cyberpunk sequel, four Witcher games?
It’s awesome news though since I never played that, but sheesh, when is this coming out?
When is Witcher 3 XSX patch coming out? Lol.
Oh wait, this game was part of the earlier announced games? Two Witcher games by a outside studio?
Pays the bills and gives studios something to do while the bigger team works on the mainline games.
Everything is years away anyway ![]()
Correct. This is one of the two outside projects.
That is true. Witcher 4 was 2025 at the soonest they said…oh my.
that remake at least makes some sense
A remake I can get behind. Would be cool to see this on console.
Great article, I agree with him that 40 fps mode is the future on how developers tackle the 60fps issue.
Oh for sure this will be for consoles too, I have no dijt!
I’m seeing tweets that this could mean an acquisition, since CDPR has been making all these announcements for games years ago.
That, I doubt.
I mean if you have enough time, resource, and such, it’s fine. Just saying, you got to admit, it’s Remake Haven.
I do not see the connection to a possible acquisition?
I see people say this all the time and I never understand it
They are making more games because they want more money and don’t want to have to rely on one game every 5 years
Same here, friend.
Apparently they want to make themselves attractive for potential buyers with all these game announcements.
Nah.
No, it’s not Sony. Diofield and Star Ocean were revealed on State of Play but still come to Xbox. Mana and Octopath and pretty much all classic Square remasters are revealed on Nintendo Direct and skip Xbox. Sony would be blocking the ones they have marketing to (and would have blocked FF7 Crisis Core), if “Sony is paying Square to skip only Xbox” was really a thing.
Tired of the whole “Xbox should just ignore them because Sony is buying them soon
” crap.
For sure, we’re at that rare point where the gaming industry is old/mature enough to be able to tap into that nostalgia well.
I don’t see it going away any time soon if the movie industry has showed anything.
