The ScummVM version is currently 50% discounted on GOG. They sure want to compete with NDS's release. It is alleged the game is priced $9.99, but nothing is known at this time and the release is late.

Well then it's the emu/scumm for meJust saw the rockspapershotgun review.
Here's the scummvm version:

There is also a slight chance that the GOG, or rather ScummVM, version might be updated with cut content, but it won't be game changing. Like small dialogue bits IIRC.

RPS made it their title,
The Blade Runner game's new remaster looks worse
A remastered re-release of Westwood's excellent Blade Runner video game is out today, though it looks worse than the recent GOG release.

1997 wants their game back.

I see it is only R79, might pick it up when it is R50, then I have three copies... original, ScummVM and the 'enhanced' edition.
Come to think about it, since the enhancements doesn't do the original better, I guess the original better depicts 1997 violence
The game costs less than R17 in Argentina.

Not really interested in cut content tbh but yeah looks like that's the best version. Like I said, I'll stick with my original and just update using scummvm if needed like I've done for many years.

I want to test whether I can improve on the graphics with scaling. I have had good success with Lossless Scaling, but I want to see whether Magpie can also achieve good results. Not much is to be expected with this game, but it will be a good test to see whether NDS invested too much time in 'remastering' the game. It varies though, but I have managed to clean up voxels to a good enough extent.

The Blade Runner Game Remaster Was So Unpopular That the Devs Added the 1997 Version - IGN
Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition was released last week to such a poor reception that developer Nightdive Studios has now added a version of the 1997 original to play on Steam instead.

It is a tiresome practice where companies remove a non remaster to force people down their tunnel vision. If you have so little faith in your remasters then just don't do it.

It is a moral implication, but a license remains a license. For the same reasons games which are 'openly' downloadable on abandonware sites are being removed due to licensing rights being signed.
When GOG helped the team publish the SCUMMVM version on GOG they knew at that time already that NDS was licensed to ‘develop’ a remaster and would take ownership. Not that GOG cared, because money was to be made in the interim.
Just how it works with the current schemes. GOG will continue to earn their cut, it is only that Thomas Fach-Pedersen and company aren’t credited, but they can’t blame NDS, they got in bed with GOG who knew all too well since the beginning.
Fach-Pedersen and company should have never worked with GOG, as simple as that.
Oh, wait, GOG is the good guy...
