Studio responsible for The Witcher remake says it will remove some 'bad' parts of the game

[John Elden Ring]

The Witcher remake was announced in October 2022, and is being developed by Rebel Wolves, a studio of CDPR veterans. Those veterans include CEO Jakub Rokosz, who worked on The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. Speaking to Edge, however, Rokosz expresses his disappointment that he never got to work on the first game in Geralt's trilogy;

"it always bothered me that I missed the first. I wanted a chance to give it the justice it deserves."

Rokosz is already taking aim at some of those aspects, stating that

"first and foremost, we need an honest, down-to-earth analysis of which parts are simply bad, outdated, and need to be remade." That will come at the same time as "highlighting the parts that are great, should be retained, or are direct key pillars that can't be discarded," but it's not hard to work out which aspects he's hinting will likely be removed.

The damn swamp? Yeah, get rid of that.

I hope they manage to keep the same atmosphere. That game was dripping with that Witcher atmosphere, much more than W3 did.

Bad ports start with these decisions imo.
I hope this is not the case.

Agreed. I remember buying the collectors edition with the book. Atmosphere was awesome

Not a port, a remake. These are sensible questions to ask, especially considering The Witcher 1 didn't set the world on fire.

They could be right. I’m just going to present the alternate scenario that I’d prefer to see the bad parts reimagined and fixed into something that is fun.

Maybe something like getting rid of an entire part entirely should be a last resort.
