ye Crossroad of Ravens, it's solid stuff. lil babu Geralt on his first quest learning the ropes. ending hits hard.
I recalled it playing fine a few years ago, other than the combat just being rock-paper-scissors, and the inventory management for alchemy stuff, which I have to assume the remake will streamline the fuck out of for controller users. I really should get back to it some day, but I may just jump straight to 3 at this point.
If I remember right, the cross-save feature in it allows transfer between any platform yeah? So I can just beat it on my PS4 (I grabbed the "Complete" disc awhile back when it was fire-saled), then eventually pick up whatever the new DLC-bundled release will be for PC and run that new content there.
i wouldn't call how 1 played fine even on release and it only feels more dated and janky with the passage of time
the fundamental problem was they tried to smash a third-person action-RPG within Bioware's Aurora Engine which was designed for top-down isometric CRPGs like Neverwinter Nights. thankfully they abandoned it for REDengine in 2, which holds up quite well to this day. they're all in Unreal 5 today tho so farewell RED u gave us some beautiful bangers.
1 was super rough, even on release. 2's combat was leaps better but still kinda garbage poo poo and very off putting. Wasn't until 3 where I felt the combat was making me drag my balls through glass.
Remaster update free for owners coming Sept 29th.
The original 2 expansions will also be free tonight. Not sure how long for.
inshallah based CDPR

PC Gamer has a pretty good dev interview/preview on the new DLC
Being created by the same team behind the Witcher 1 remake
The story follows Geralt and Dandelion to Dandelion’s home region in the north, where the land has been untouched by the war but there is some kind of family drama that Dandelion must attend to. One of the few scenes they were shown was a dinner scene with different members of his family, including his cousin (romanceable, they asked) and his grandmother (NOT romanceable, they asked).
They said the size of the new area is comparable to Blood & Wine.
Will feature rich sidequests that Witcher 3 players are accustomed to. And despite Geralt now being retired, there will be monster contracts quests too.
Confirmed there will be new Gwent cards. Not a new deck, but there will be new cards.
Asked if we’ll see the return of other favorites like Yenefer, Triss, Ciri, or Zoltan, devs said they didn’t want to give away too much but there will definitely be references to other characters.
Asked if there was a direct tie in between Songs of the Past and Witcher 4, devs simply said “No comment.”
Also, I saw a post that the DLC requires the completion of base game and both previous DLCs
iirc for both of the previous dlcs they offered an option to start with Geralt already leveled up to jump right into it
Size of Blood and Wine. Lets goooo
I think Triss is "only" around 50 something, but yeah Yen is over 100 years old by the time the games start
I forgot about the Witcher 1 remake with all this other stuff going on. CDPR why you so good to us
