What difference would a next gen remaster offer? Max PC settings?
why wouldn’t a series x enchancsmsnt be the same damn thing? Are current gen versions not just down scaled pc builds?
There is no difference between an enhanced series x version and a remaster Ps5 version aside from charging you another 60$
Sony’s approach to backwards and forward compatibility is shit and an obsolete approach to it all.
I imagine one thing would be a next gen upgrade patch which would simply enable better resolution and high/max PC settings. And then another could be a remaster which could be more like a reworked version of the game with new features, new assets, more geometry, maybe smoother transitions between areas, etc.
Something like the Metro 2033 Redux for example which offered a few new gameplay elements, added smoother in-game transitions between areas that previously had loading screens separating them and some visual enhancements that went beyond what you would get even at max PC settings in the original release.
Or something like Modern Warfare remaster which borders on being a remake with big visual upgrades that also go far beyond what you'd get with max settings on PC.
Hell, CDPR did a great job when porting over The Witcher 2 to inferior hardware (xbox360 version) by adding new cinematics, quests and a new area (which they added for free on PC). So now that they would be porting over to better hardware instead it could be great.
