Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[unfairlight]

Why would it be holiday season?

Cyberpunk is a huge release

Seriously, nothing clicks here? It's a colossal release with a tonne of marketing and hype. It's only natural it will target a November release, which is where most AAA titles desire to be.

No? Witcher 3 released in March. God of War released in April. Bloodborne released in March. Releasing in Q4 isn't mandatory, not to mention that it pretty much excludes your game from a significant number of GOTY contender awards that can be exploited for marketing in an AAA environment.

Some of developers could be making Witcher 4.

Witcher 4.

 

[KK1001]

This probably indicates a March-April 2020 release if anything. They still need one big "wow" thing to show at Gamescom or later this year to get the hype train going.

We're going to see a massive graphics downgrade courtesy of the PS4 tho

Knowing CDPR, they won't touch on AAA Witcher game until they finish last addon for CP2077. We're +- two years away from the announce. That is, if they think they need to develop another Witcher game.

This probably indicates a March-April 2020 release if anything.

That's not how CDPR rolls, however. My money is on either february (when they first planned to release witcher 3) on or may (when they actually released Witcher 2 and 3 after many delays and reworks) because they're not as dumb as Soyny to attend to E3 three times in a row with one game, even if the hype level is getting closer to Halo 2 one, everything has its limits.

So there will be two E3 presentations, a demo playable by the public and a private showing for journalists. Apparently CDPR is not allowing photography at either of these and will not be uploading any footage themselves.

What the fuck are they afraid of?

Another Witcher situation where they show content/graphics that isn't even in the game at final release, maybe?

Probably just a marketing ploy though to maintain interest, since they know they aren't releasing this year.

Pretty sure it's for the sake of the gaming press. The websites will publish what they get, and then later on CD Projekt will publish their own original footage. This happened with Witcher 3 too as I recall.

CD Projekt RED has planned to showcase two E3 demo presentations this at time around, one will be for E3 attendees and other for the media people. However, none of the people attending this presentation will be allowed to record or take pictures of the gameplay footage being shown.

 

[DalekFlay]

I'd guess the game has changed a good bit (and there rumors to that effect), and the transition isn't smoothed out yet, so they don't want the public seeing a rough looking demo? Of course we're living in a world where a few thousand people at Comicon get an exclusive trailer for months, so what the fuck do I know.

 

[typical user]

They released first gameplay few days later after showing it to the press behind curtains at Gamescom 2018 IIRC. They will give general public something more, there is no way they will miss on E3 and free marketing.

Modding support: https://forums.cdprojektred.com/ind...odding-support.10996483/page-10#post-11541745

I wanted to elaborate on this topic and on that answer in particular. We have no plans to share at the moment. Obviously, we would love to support the modding community in the future, but for the time being we want to focus on releasing the game first. Hopefully, this clears things up a bit.

Yeah, just like they released the editor with Witcher 2 and 3. At least this time they aren't promising shit they won't do.

New consoles. Witcher 3 released in March because of delays, not because it was planned that way.

 

[Sentinel]

Yeah, and God of War and Bloodborne were also delayed. Your point? Every game releases on X release date because it was delayed. Point is, Q4 isn't a requirement for a very successful release anymore.

 

[odrzut]

Witcher 3 released in May.

 

[Egosphere]

Imo best way to approach this game will be to treat it like a modern recreation of the Hong Kong level from Deus Ex. Lots of dialogue, lots of places to discover etc. rather than an 'RPG' experience.

I was on tumblr and saw Cyberpunk 2077 is doing an answer time on June 12! The She-ra one was pretty cute, so if you have any questions you should log onto tumblr and submit:

It's getting pretty obvious that one of the mods is LARPing as a retarded girl.
The question is...which one?

Not to be ableist but I'm not the one with the dumbfuck tag, sis.

Fuckin' A. Tumblr is still a thing?

That's because you're a protected class.

 

[Grotesque]

Will this game have a soul?

Depends on how much cyberware you install.

They've said it themselves that they want to emulate the GTA series, and that's what the game will be: a first-person GTA game with less emphasis on driving and more on interiors.
