Of course PC Gamer will list absolute trash, and skip the best, which as usual also costs 0:During the GoT TV series there were several GoT games launched?are you worried they going tp drop the Romance card system?
I'm not worried about anything, I was just wondering what the business strategy is here.
With the success of the Netflix series this is a good time for a remake for an older game like W1
Can you name one example of when a successful TV Show massively raised its audience's interest in a video-game based on the same setting?
But it will also be a good investment for the millions of established fans, I will definitely buy it. I have only played W1 once so it makes sense
Yeah, "millions of established fans" is a bit of a stretch. Out of something like 15-ish people I know who are fans of the show, only two have played the game, and I say "game" in singular on purpose because it was only the third one. It would take Cyberpunk-levels of marketing and hype to get them interested in a remake of a game from 2007.

Mmmm...okay I see what you mean, I need to think about it more and get back to youDuring the GoT TV series there were several GoT games launched?

That's not what I asked. Did the show get a large part of its millions of viewers interested in these games and motivate them to buy them?
The Telltale one was possibly moderately successful, but that's more likely because Telltale themselves were well-known as the #1 developer of those "interactive movie" type of games with an established fanbase. The rest? Almost nobody knows they even exist. The "RPG" one is so obscure and forgettable that I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned even here. Etc.
I thought you were referring to the fact that some people don't actually have one million posts.Older account and fewer posts - more respect!Reveal the secrets!That's not how the "post count - reputation" relationship works on this forum

How many copies do you think a game released in 2015 sold in 2018? The 554% increase doesn't look nearly as impressive when put into context.
The way TW2 did c&c was kinda impressive, but at the same time suboptimal.
It would've been alright if both versions of chapter 2 took place in the same location, but with a different cast of characters. Or if the Chapter 2's story elements weren't so crucial for understanding the plot of the game. Or if the whole game consisted of mutually exclusive missable areas. What's the point of C&C if you'll have to replay the whole game to see one single big chapter that you were forced to miss? May as well put a chapter select option, or an autosave that explicitly says "load this to check out on missed content".
Now this I don't agree with. The foremost value in player agency isn't in replayability, but validation. It's a rhetorical device that furthers your emotional involvement in your progression, and the more dramatic the consequences, the more impressive it is. At a commensurate cost in development resources, of course.In my opinion the pros of making both Aedirn and Henselt's camp available for the same playthrough outweigh the rather ambitious C&C. The ideal flow would be that chapter 2 is Henselt's camp, chapter 3 Aedirn and in epilogue/chapter 4 the additional side quests for both previous chapters are available and not mutually exclusive with rescuing Triss from her captors. If seeing everything the game has to offer in one playthrough is lame, then a lameoid am I.The way TW2 did c&c was kinda impressive, but at the same time suboptimal.

I only played TW2 once and I loved the split in Chapter 2, I never felt compelled to play it again to see the other side of it but it was patently obvious that the decision I'd made at the end of the prior chapter had made a massive difference.
Henselt.Which side did you choose?
Henselt.Which side did you choose?
he dies in the first game if you side with scoiataels.And I still don't understand why even Siegfried was left out of the game completely unless you import a Witcher 1 save in which you sided with the order. Why not simply have his disposition change instead? What a waste.
Though i agree, Siegfried was awesome and it would've been cool if CDPR retconned his death.
There first game sold a million copies at launch and probably another million or two since then (+people who got it for free during different promotions). Witcher 2 had several (8?) million copies and them W3 was a breakthrough title with several dozen millions.Who... who asked for this? What's the target audience here?
Not at all. I'm perfectly happy with my W1. Wouldn't say no to a technical remaster but don't see a need for a remake. It's done for people who only played the third one and want to know the rest of the story.Are there really that many Twitcher 1 fans who were howling for that game to get remade?
Netflix adapts (very poorly) the books, not the games which happen after the novels end. For a lots of people there is a missing story there.Are there really that many normies who only played Twitcher 3 and got so invested into the franchise that they expressed the desire for a remake of a (let's be honest) janky-as-fuck-looking RPG from 2007 instead of just watching the Netflix adaptation crap to scratch that itch?
That's probably a reason too. It's been 6/7 years since Witcher 3 and expansions and probably 5 more at least until the new trilogy begins. They need to refresh the Witcher in people's memory.Or maybe the idea is to release it just in time to remind people of the franchise and raise hype for the rumored (Geralt-free) Twitcher 4?
people did this?he dies in the first game if you side with scoiataels.
Well then they better hurry with development. The success of this shitty show relies solely on Henry Cavill's performance and once he leaves the role in Season 3, Netflix Witcher show will die in obscurity.With the success of the Netflix series this is a good time for a remake for an older game like W1
Yes, the rpg one was good actually despite visuals and low budget feel. Great story that adds to the novels.During the GoT TV series there were several GoT games launched?are you worried they going tp drop the Romance card system?
