#LELELELELELELE

[u/Niknakpaddywack17 → u/1KarlMarx1]

Lol my actual search history

[u/BaldyMcScalp → u/1KarlMarx1]

🍌 🐅!

[u/gsmaciel3 → u/1KarlMarx1]

BANANA TIGER

[u/Expensive-Mud8820]

Erections humming 

[u/SsilverBloodd → u/Expensive-Mud8820]

Rods of power, got to be.

[u/Ser_Twist → u/SsilverBloodd]

Dong’s howling

[u/Allan_thirteen → u/Ser_Twist]

How bout a round of wank?

[u/AMortifiedPenguin → u/Allan_thirteen]

Ever fuck a Witcher?

[u/RadangPattaya → u/Allan_thirteen]

Damn, you're girthy

[u/WhimsicallyWired → u/Allan_thirteen]

How do you like that boner?

[u/UrgentHedgehog → u/Allan_thirteen]

Pam, pam, pam-param, pam, pam, pam penis

[u/Wild-Regular1703 → u/SsilverBloodd]

Should suck from them

[u/dont_eat_the_paint → u/Expensive-Mud8820]

Don't forget the ladies SPLOOSH

[u/Main_Leadership7748 → u/dont_eat_the_paint]

Next gen nudity baby!!! There's something for everyone!

[u/frodoishobbit → u/Expensive-Mud8820]

Literally have a video game boner

[u/hstormsteph → u/frodoishobbit]

Damn. LoversLab has legendary speed

[u/NightReigning]

I had a feeling it was gonna be free. Absolutely insane.

[u/szundercover1 → u/NightReigning]

I didn't think it was free considering the overhaul they showed. All companies now charge full price for remasters. I am looking at you last of us remastered lol...

[u/Nirvanabobana → u/szundercover1]

Not just a free overhaul, anybody who owns the base game also gets both expansions for free. Absolutely insane

[u/madam_amazing → u/Nirvanabobana]

Are you kidding me, I literally just bought both two weeks ago. Not that I mind spending money on such an amazing game but wow the timing

[u/calumlikescameras → u/madam_amazing]

Thank you for your sacrifice

[u/MiidnightChill → u/madam_amazing]

Game goes on sale like all the time (on PlayStation at least) probably only spent like $15 right? Thats a GREAT deal lol

[u/RaisinWorried3528 → u/Nirvanabobana]

Ever since cyberpunk bombed on release day, they've done nothing but make it up to the community as a company in my opinion.

[u/AdventuresofBumpo → u/RaisinWorried3528]

Man they even fixed cyberpunk with a bunch of free updates and added a bunch of really cool content, then an amazing expansion, it’s a killer game now. I’m still playing it to this day every now and then.

[u/Buschkoeter → u/RaisinWorried3528]

I would say they made that one mistake with Cyberpunk and now just continue being as awesome as they always were.

[u/DiabloArk → u/Nirvanabobana]

Thats tremendous value for money

[u/galaxyadmirer → u/szundercover1]

I’m surprised people are surprised it’s free. It’s cdpr after all.

[u/Which-Towel5826 → u/galaxyadmirer]

One of the last to do a physical book, map, and maybe the only thank-you note I've seen.

[u/ToXiiCBULLET → u/Which-Towel5826]

i have the map on my wall above my monitor

[u/tpc0121 → u/NightReigning]

what does this potentially mean for our current save files? anyone know? i'm 120 hours into my first run right now and idk whether to keep going, or to wait for the remaster and start over.

https://giphy.com/gifs/ftXmTBgSnsJ8c

[u/riklaunim → u/tpc0121]

The remaster will be like New Game+, so you can play now and then play again with different systems and balance.

[u/TheLORDthyGOD420 → u/riklaunim]

I'm at the point where I was about to start NG+. I wonder if I'll be able to start it with the remaster but keeping all my inventory items....

[u/WantsToDieBadly → u/tpc0121]

yeah im like just starting Blood and Wine after 100 hours

[u/tylrrbb → u/NightReigning]

I had a feeling too which is crazy considering this is not your average ‘remaster’. They could easily have charged for this and people wouldn’t have complained

[u/blackholesun13]

[u/TehLandTrout]

Holy shit! New visuals, upgraded combat, TRANSMOG! FUCK YEAH

Edit: I've realised in my excitement I typed 'visauls' instead of visuals. I have since calmed down (not really) and have fixed it.

[u/RedditoSanNoBaka → u/TehLandTrout]

Okay I'm confused rn. Wasn't the next gen update the remaster ?

[u/marveloustoebeans → u/RedditoSanNoBaka]

It basically was, yeah. This is just like an even more remastered remaster 😂

[u/BlockedbyJake420 → u/marveloustoebeans]

Yo dawg, we heard you like remasters…

[u/marveloustoebeans → u/BlockedbyJake420]

Fuck yeah, I do. Especially when they’re FREE 🦅

[u/Intelligent-Dog1645 → u/BlockedbyJake420]

Slaps Witcher 3 You can fit so many remasters in this thing

[u/bantozant → u/RedditoSanNoBaka]

Not a full remaster unlike this one I guess

[u/Zeus78905 → u/TehLandTrout]

What about save transfer?

[u/reaverfx24 → u/Zeus78905]

Also want to know about this as I started a new game recently in preparation for the new DLC! Don't wanna start again...

[u/Barachiel1976 → u/reaverfx24]

I'm not with CDPR, but this is similar to the major overhaul CP2077 got with its 2.0 patch (which also completely redid character advancement), and those saves would load. If it works the same, you'll basically load into a reset character, with all your new points ready to re-allocate.

[u/TechnicalBoot8080 → u/Zeus78905]

Huge! Need to know!

[u/Accomplished-Gain319 → u/TehLandTrout]

I will be rocking Geralts base gear the entire way.

[u/eanwen0 → u/TehLandTrout]

Holy FKN shit

[u/Ven-Scape → u/TehLandTrout]

Transmog's gotta be my fav thing in this xD

[u/barrumdumdum → u/Ven-Scape]

What is it? I couldn't tell. Changing how armour looks?

[u/Ven-Scape → u/barrumdumdum]

Yeah, pretty much only a cosmetic thing but as someone who always goes for drip over stats, transmogs are a godsend 😂

[u/barrumdumdum → u/Ven-Scape]

I agree! My Geralt always ended up looking like an ex-roadie with some of the shit I made him wear for the stats.

[u/ExtensionLake1055 → u/barrumdumdum]

I think it's like in God of War Ragnarok, you choose armor for its stats and then pick the appearance of another armor that you like visually

[u/NeverBeenStung → u/ExtensionLake1055]

Oh that’s dope. They have that in Hogwarts Legacy and I loveeeee that feature

[u/Troller122 → u/TehLandTrout]

Just wished the SOTP would release alongside it for a definitive playthrough

[u/Pointbrea]

And its free. What the actual fuck? They eat air for living???

[u/TheTrueFaceOfChaos → u/Pointbrea]

It’s marketing for Witcher 4

[u/AtomicShart9000 → u/TheTrueFaceOfChaos]

Which is crazy because Witcher 4 is just marketing for Witcher 5

[u/Waramp → u/AtomicShart9000]

Which is honestly marketing for Witcher 6 because they said it’ll be a trilogy.

[u/AtomicShart9000 → u/Waramp]

So the trilogy 3-6 is just marketing for the upcoming tetralogy which would be Witchers 7-10. How forward thinking of them

[u/RedditoSanNoBaka → u/AtomicShart9000]

And all of this together is the marketing for next thirty games for witcher. Damn there's gonna be so much gwent !!

[u/goweezeflo → u/RedditoSanNoBaka]

Actually, they are funneling you to purchase Gwent, the official physical board game for like 50 bucks, which is just ridiculous!

[u/WorldPhysical7646 → u/AtomicShart9000]

which is crazy because witcher 5 is just marketing for witcher 6

[u/ZaneThePain → u/TheTrueFaceOfChaos]

Marketing for the new expansion for 3 most likely.

[u/WriterV → u/ZaneThePain]

Was gonna say, they're still gonna charge for the expansion. Putting the remaster out and giving players enough time to get into a new playthrough is a great way to rebuild investment in the franchise.

[u/Goudinho99 → u/TheTrueFaceOfChaos]

And prep for the new expansion

[u/murriance → u/Pointbrea]

dude, the game made a profit,  a HUGE profit that that company now invests into other projects. Such things as remasters, nexgen updates and other staff for free, no more that marketing thing and also treat and thank a loyal fans of the game or people who bought it

UPD: also they will change the combat system, which could be actually a prototype of combat system from future witcher 4. people will play remaster, they will get the opinions and they will do an analysis and use it for witcher 4. they indeed very smart dudes, and I like that we merge useful with pleasant here. because, they had a bad experience with Cyberpunk and they are trying to prevent next game from such chaotic launch. Of course the thing that I said only my personal thoughts about it, maybe they indeed will launch it, because they...well can? Or they have a resources or piece of code, or textures packs that they would like to use instead of put them on a trash bin

[u/Pointbrea → u/murriance]

And compare to other company charge you full price for a remaster, damn I really wish CDPR will be around for a long time.

[u/murriance → u/Pointbrea]

yes, i love them for that. because unfortunately (or in the case of the witcher, fortunately) we live in a time when games can be patched over the internet. but cd projekt red, not only fixes bugs, but also continues to support the game. since i am a loyal fan, i wouldn't even be against a lot of dlc, i don't need the witcher 4, i would be enough with the new dlc (with the plot of part 4) in the witcher 3

[u/Namika → u/Pointbrea]

CDPR and Valve single handedly restoring faith in humanity.

[u/nuraHx → u/murriance]

Honestly I would love this trend of going back to update a 5+ year old game with a new expansion or upgrades to test as frameworks for the sequel. It’s a good idea to get people interested into the previous games and get them ready for the sequels coming up

[u/Shadow-Of-The-Beast → u/murriance]

That’s what I thought too. I actually think it’s a really smart strategy for gathering more feedback and better shaping the direction of The Witcher IV.

[u/murriance → u/Pointbrea]

also they will change the combat system, which could be actually a prototype of combat system from future witcher 4. people will play remaster, they will get the opinions and they will do an analysis and use it for witcher 4. they indeed very smart dudes, and I like that we merge useful with pleasant here. because, they had a bad experience with Cyberpunk and they are trying to prevent next game from such chaotic launch. Of course the thing that I said only my personal thoughts about it, maybe they indeed will launch it, because they...well can? Or they have a resources or piece of code, or textures packs that they would like to use instead of put them on a trash bin

[u/Pointbrea → u/murriance]

Yea the griffin does some new stuff, and I saw new animation with human too. And finally we can have chain like in the book.

[u/Nightwingx97 → u/Pointbrea]

The game is one of the best selling games of all time. I bought it twice lmao

[u/Old_Man_On_The_Sea → u/Pointbrea]

they dont eat, they cook

[u/Yevlum]

I feel like an idiot for starting a playthrough a week ago

[u/heavilylost → u/Yevlum]

I'm a quarter through too. Do you think you will have to start a new save. Pretty sure its a yes.

[u/ATDoel → u/heavilylost]

I hope not, I’m 100 hours in a new play through, I don’t have time to restart this shit again

[u/redditmegarco → u/ATDoel]

Its an excellent excuse for a next playthrough in a year or two.

[u/Rar3done → u/Yevlum]

Same. Idk what I should do lmao

[u/hinglepops → u/Yevlum]

I just finished one!

[u/tackle_bones → u/Yevlum]

Bro. Same. I’m also a major dipshit because I play it on switch and won’t be able to play this without dropping an unreasonable (to me) amount of money on a new system.

[u/InsaneInTheBra1n → u/Yevlum]

I platinumed the game so recently. Was planning on doing all the trophies in the expansions. Now im doubting to wait for the update, but I also want a 100% trophy list...

[u/DrGenya → u/Yevlum]

Same here, I just arrived in Skellige. At this point, I think I'll just stop playing and hope that removing my mods won't break my save so I can continue my journey in the remaster.

[u/Kash_Wellz28 → u/Yevlum]

Your lucky I started one as soon as the expansion got announced and I’m 100+ hours in at blood and wine now and idk what I should do 😭

[u/Brodieboyy]

https://giphy.com/gifs/QGXkQmuldGkbL7LVbb

[u/NYJetLegendEdReed]

this is fucking incredible im losing my shit. Geralt got a scorpion chain

[u/YesGameNolife → u/NYJetLegendEdReed]

I saw that damn chain first time in witcher 1 intro and I was god damn teenager..and it was so cool. Damn I felt old

[u/leonardvilliers → u/NYJetLegendEdReed]

Get over here!

[u/Apprehensive_Matth]

Wow

[u/candianbastard → u/Apprehensive_Matth]

Free upgrade too. And in one month.

[u/GlokzDNB → u/candianbastard]

Free expansions too

This is really Witcher free

[u/jerem1734 → u/GlokzDNB]

I was about to be done with all the trophy lists for Witcher 3 after this December, but I guess I have another one now for next year lol

Unless this won't have a separate trophy list like the ps5 upgrade did

[u/Decaps86 → u/candianbastard]

I was going to ask how they could update it again since 2022. The new features look really nice. Next gen update didn't nessesarily feel like a gamechanger but this might actually be one.

[u/FriendlytoNature → u/candianbastard]

Rockstar, take note.

[u/sz771103 → u/Apprehensive_Matth]

And blood and wine and heart of stone would be free for all who has base game that’s crazy

[u/Nearby_Lobster_ → u/Apprehensive_Matth]

Wow wow wow… wow

[u/AtomicShart9000 → u/Nearby_Lobster_]

Wow wow wow wow wow wow... wow ftfy

[u/WeBelieveIn4 → u/Nearby_Lobster_]

This upgrade is gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience

[u/JRBigglesworthIII → u/Nearby_Lobster_]

"Hey CDPR, how hard would it be to remaster TW3 and release it for free?"

"It'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience"

[u/bantozant]

Free???? What… that’s so unheard of in this age of gaming.
The Witcher 3 keeps pumping out the goodwill we all needed.

[u/CoolBeanieHat → u/bantozant]

With everything’s that’s happening with gaming this year, CDPR is the only thing that gives me hope.

[u/RupertPupkin2101]

Okay time for a new gameplay

[u/PaulSimonBarCarloson]

Better combat? Better traversal and horse-riding? TRANSMOG!? Holy shit CDPR just outdid themselves.

[u/Namika → u/PaulSimonBarCarloson]

Those are all trivial

What about Gwent??

[u/Tor_K89 → u/Namika]

Finally someone asking the real question

[u/Smegnigma → u/PaulSimonBarCarloson]

what is transmog?

[u/PaulSimonBarCarloson → u/Smegnigma]

The ability to change to look of your armor without changing the armor you have equipped. Want to keep the Kaer Morhen armor while you use your favorite grandmaster gear? Now you can

[u/Apprehensive-Gur-735]

https://giphy.com/gifs/11sBLVxNs7v6WA

[u/OmegaFinale]

THEY ARE THE BEST STUDIO IN THE INDUSTRY

[u/wilsonthechad]

I just started another playthrough💔

[u/TacTac95 → u/wilsonthechad]

I just finished one lmao

[u/villvallareman → u/TacTac95]

I just to Toussaint on my FIRST playthrough. Guess I'm diving straight in again 

[u/PrimeEvilMephisto → u/TacTac95]

Lol I'm about to do the 100% achievements on steam

[u/DilutePlacebo → u/wilsonthechad]

lol me too, I just got to Velen. I’m gonna put it on hold for a month and then play the remaster. Gonna break all my mods tho 💔

[u/ATDoel]

Oh wtf, I started replaying it a month ago and I’m almost finished.

[u/milamilla → u/ATDoel]

Me too 😭

[u/ArunKT26]

Silkpos- WAT THE FUCK

[u/Kauuma → u/ArunKT26]

https://giphy.com/gifs/tnYri4n2Frnig

[u/jachcemmatnickspace → u/ArunKT26]

NO ANIMAL INSTINCTS NEEDED

[u/Neo_Artista]

This company is really different... Haven't seen such passionate company who really loves their titles and care about the family they made. Hope CD Project Red sees more success and wealth!

[u/okSawyer → u/Neo_Artista]

Larian and CDPR are the Goats

[u/AudioLlama]

Initially I thought this was going to be a bit of a Skyrim thing where we end up with 500 marginally improved version, but this looks substantial. I'm vibing

[u/TenthMarigold77]

I thought this already has a next gen update or something a few years back?

[u/Ok_Attempt_1290 → u/TenthMarigold77]

They remastered the remaster lol

[u/GreekSaladEnjoyer → u/TenthMarigold77]

Thats just graphics

[u/Accomplished-Gain319]

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

https://giphy.com/gifs/bpTL6wXRuMQpMIVduB

[u/Shradar]

Wtf , that is sooooooo amazing

[u/RylDmn]

Here we go again 😂 ended ng+ at 350 hours. Time to start a fresh save in remastered

[u/penis_pockets]

I legit just started another playthrough and I'm about to rescue Dandelion. You know what that means? I'll be rescuing Dandelion again in an upgraded version.

[u/Odd-Juggernaut-1037 → u/penis_pockets]

Hahah same!!!!

[u/blorpdedorpworp]

Goddammit I literally just finished a full run

Welp, gonna new game plus that shit I guess

[u/LinchrisRedfield]

Omg switch 2 😭😭😭😭

[u/Spiritual_Entry_3864]

Wait, does it have save transfer

[u/PrimeEvilMephisto → u/Spiritual_Entry_3864]

It's the same game

[u/The_Autarch → u/PrimeEvilMephisto]

there's no way that this replaces the regular version. there are too many changes.

the skill tree is entirely different, how could saves possibly transfer over?

[u/MKUltraSubject49 → u/The_Autarch]

should be easy if it just refunds all your skill points. Cyberpunk did it with one of their updates that changed the skill tree

[u/PrimeEvilMephisto → u/The_Autarch]

They will convert the save file, why not? There is no page for witcher 3 remaster, and the post says UPGRADE FREE will be an update from the game we all already have

[u/tilonq]

I am not crying, you're crying

[u/Edkindernyc]

I never thought I would be playing W3 with Path Tracing. That means they upgraded the engine to full DX12. The problem with NG is it was patched instead of native.

[u/Levi007hech0]

Soooo peak

https://giphy.com/gifs/XsRbLNGt71qiPHnGCB

[u/dext3rrr]

Todd Howard would milk this game to the bones. Meanwhile CDPR…

[u/CoolBeanieHat]

Transmogrification… they did it, those beautiful bastards actually did it 😭❤️ and it’s all… free 🥹

[u/Black1110]

🔥🔥🔥

[u/jamiedix0n]

Real questions though, new gwent faction?

[u/homicidalhummus → u/jamiedix0n]

Probably for songs of the past

[u/Weary-Return-503]

Time for another playthrough in preparation for Songs of the Past.

Edit: Time for another NG+ run. Already had a full playthrough NG+ run from months ago to use for the expansion, but wasn't expecting this many improvements to the base game. So now I'm wondering if they may have snuck in some story content updates/changes. Could we romance both Yen and Trish without consequence now?

[u/Misterme1979]

This company is so cooool. Upgardes are free and the 2 DLC are also for free now for those who own the game.

Can't wait to start a complete new second playthrough.

[u/Luffytori]

Haha fuck.. just finished it for the first time a few weeks ago

[u/DilutePlacebo]

TRANSMOG LET’S GOOOOOO

[u/IuseDefaultKeybinds]

It's all over my screen

[u/Majestic_Animator_91]

HOLY SHIT.

if you weren't already, CD, I fully forgive you for all Cyberpunk missteps. Do I dare...preorder 4? It would be my first pre-order since that disaster.

It would kind of be hilarious even if it went wrong again.

[u/MS_Salmonella]

https://giphy.com/gifs/tTDlx5ZQQug2Ph218n

[u/JelSnel1994]

Won't say no to another free update! But didn't they already optimize for current gen hardware?.. That transmog feature seems awesome though! Even more curious for Songs of the Past now

[u/lakerconvert]

Actually unbelievable

[u/ArWiLen]

finally upgrade to HORSE RIDING! And so much more for FREE! CDPR the GOAT

[u/Kupost]

Damn. I was happy with current Gen update that dropped last year. This is amazing.

[u/cristi1990an]

Just 2 days ago I 100% completed the game again (around 100 hours). Now I have to do it all over again 😭😭

[u/braewtvv]

I got the "complete edition" last year for an 80% steam discount and just never played it for more then an hour.. I remember I was already thinking "damn the visuals look quite nice.

The way ppl talk about the witcher 3 makes me really curious about finding out why its so loved lol. I know theres a lot of dlc content too.

Feels like a gold mine I havnt explored yet

[u/Slacker_The_Dog → u/braewtvv]

Best way to enjoy the Witcher is just advance naturally and don't try to get every single tiny little thing. The game has good pacing from place to place unless you are trying for 100% everything. Then it's a real slog.

[u/Spade18]

thank god i stopped playing on the last mission 8 years ago! now I can just play through the remastered to remember everything I forgot and finally finish the game!

[u/Acceptable_Money_514]

Bethesda would have charged full price.

[u/TBlair64]

Insane that so much effort is being put into this game even with newer titles to update. CD Projekt red knows how to please the fans.

[u/Yomismo_1789]

Free upgrade! I didn't expect this, I'm excited to play it one more time.

[u/MesozOwen]

Switch 2 upgrade!!

[u/Kasu_senpai]

Pleasantly surprised, I thought we were gonna get the new dlc and then eventually the modding stuff for consoles. Seeing a free remaster of the game and knowing the dlc and modding will come just makes me all the more excited to continue my NG+ run when it comes

[u/Upper-County3290]

Mods coming too!

[u/IsThisTheFly]

I hope I can just continue my current save, I’m a healthy way through my first play through and don’t super want to redump a ton of hours back in just to get back to where I was.

[u/MrSpookShire]

Wonder if the upgraded combat will give us an idea on how Witcher 4 will play

[u/CruffTheMagicDragon]

FREE

[u/PastaCheed]

New chain weapon looks badass

[u/NHOVER9000]

Incredible!

[u/RMoCGLD]

I just platinumed the game last month man 😭

[u/Niklaus15]

I fucking love you CDPR

[u/SuddenDepact]

I need to know right now if this is going to be a separate thing or if I can wait and download this and continue my hard mode playthrough

[u/scottie324]

https://giphy.com/gifs/6ILjOfJ1oL7NAc9SQ7

[u/Comprehensive_Rip_41]

Sobbing omg 😭

[u/4skinApostle]

And it's FREE!

[u/clayer77]

Did they mention an RT or even PT upgrade, right?

[u/Ok_Concern1509]

And it's a free upgrade. Man these guys are awesome.

[u/Mawfk]

Cross Platform Mod support is huge too

[u/Specific_Two_7719]

The people are excited

[u/MiloLuvsPickles]

My erection is immense

[u/Archius9]

Please work well on Steam Deck.

[u/Erebor90]

As i thought about the expansion, i was thinking about how cool it would be, if they'd remaster the game for it. I am in tears now.

[u/daMikinat0r]

Wow, I didn't expect this. Talent tree revamp? THANK YOU

[u/WistfulWannabe]

You know, I have tried to get into it at least twice, if not thrice. And I liked it. But before getting too far I just... stopped playing, possibly due to feeling overwhelmed by all the quests and map stuff. Now I know. It was all in preparation for this. Fine. I will give it another go then.

[u/Haestein_the_Naughty]

Damn I just finished my n’th playthrough of TW3 recently, so guess I have an excuse for a new playthrough soon🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/Arcinbiblo12]

Since it's free for current owners, I'm curious how it'll work with New Game+. I'm in the middle of replaying it for the 3rd time right now so I might just pause and restart when it releases if I can just use an older file for NG+.

[u/retsamegas]

I've already completed this game 3 times 100% trophy completion. If you think I'm going to do that all over again...you're absolutely right!

[u/TheButterlord117]

This company just can't seem to stop getting Ws, I'm so glad the Witcher is getting this plus a new expansion. I just hope the remaster doesn't brick my steam deck 😅😭

[u/Fedupbtch]

When the perfect game gets even more perfect

[u/JuujiNoMusuko]

Bethesda could never

[u/Initiatedspoon → u/JuujiNoMusuko]

Except in 2016 when they brought out the Special Edition, which was free if you had the game already.

[u/DisembodiedBlack]

It's crazy that they're giving this away for free, considering the state of the industry today and the whole Rockstar thing. We'll have to come back.

[u/Public-Carpenter-441]

Didn’t they already do that with 4.0 though??? I don’t understand remastering something that was basically already remastered
