Witcher 3 Remastered Comes to Next Gen

CD Projekt Red has announced "a visually and technically enhanced version" of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The new version has been "developed to take advantage of the most powerful gaming hardware." The game "will feature a range of visual and technical improvements," including ray tracing and faster load times across the entire game along with all of the DLC.

The remaster will be free in the form of an upgrade for those who already own the game.

Crysis Remastered

 

In the line of remasters coming out we finally see the remaster of Crysis. The game will have a number of graphical updates like ray-traced reflections and 8K textures.

Crysis Remastered was supposed to be released in July but the fans reaction to the leaked footage was not what Crytek expected. While the Switch version still was released, the remasters for the other consoles "needed more time".

On the PC this will be an Epic Games store exclusive, but for consoles it should be out in this coming September.

PlayStation 4 Must be Compatible With PlayStation 5

Sony has told developers that new games coming out for the PlayStation 4 must be compatible with the upcoming PlayStation 5 console. The new rule this compatibility will be from the 13th of June on wards.  However all PS4 games released or submitted before this period have been advised to be patched or remastered for the PS5.

Hopefully the PS5 announcement event on the 4th of June will shed more light on the subject.

The PS5 is still set to launch in the 2020 holidays and Sony have reassured gamers that despite Covid 19 there will be no price changes. 

Tony Hawk Pro Skater Remastered

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 are coming back. Geoff Keighley revealed the game as an early 'Summer Game Fest' announcement. Both games are being remastered by Activision as well as adding features from the later games in the series, such as wall plants, lip tricks and more. 

Normally this game wouldn't tickle my fancy but it is said to included both a create-a-skater and create-a-park features. Players will also be able to share their custom parks online so everyone can get in on the fun. 

The game will feature original game modes as well as online multiplayer. It’s coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on the 4th of September. Let us hope it has a photo mode as the game looks graphically amazing!
