Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Re-Announcement Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Zer0wing]

I think i one of interviews they said that they work on 3 things. 1 AA game and 2 AAA games. 1 AA game is Gwent, 1 AAA is Cyberpunk and obviously they will want some new IP to alternate between releases or maybe do few strong teams like Blizzard

Wasn't it not Gwent but something else? Gwent is pretty much almost delivered.

CDPR are now hiring for a bunch of roles related to the new tech advances, including multiplayer specialist

Was that really necessary? Spending time/resources for a multiplayer component in a single player RPG with almost guaranteed sales. Feels like a total waste tbh.

From the way Cyberpunk has been described it seems multiplayer will mean a Souls style summoning system.

Yeah, I just checked and it seems you are right. If it's gonna be "seamless multiplayer", then there is some interesting potential indeed.

Found on 4chan. What do u think, real concept art from the game character creator (because it doesnt look like in-engine) or well made fake?

Even if real, could be from few years ago but still its something at least.

 

[Goral]

I can't see any link (maybe because of hotlinking) but I would guess it's a fake, I doubt that 4chan would be the first to get it.

CD Projekt calls Cyberpunk 2077 development 'quite advanced,' but release is still a ways off
2017 belongs to Gwent, but CD Projekt offered the fun tidbit that Cyberpunk "will accompany us for years."



At its financial results conference this week, CD Projekt proudly proclaimed that it's sold more than 25 million copies of the Witcher games. Great news for Geralt, but CD Projekt's fans are starved for details on the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, which barely earned a mention in the 2016 financial support. Luckily, someone asked about its next RPG during the financial results conference, which got us the tiniest tidbit of insight into the next game.

CD Projekt Red studio head Adam Badowski got on stage to say progress on Cyberpunk 2077 was "quite advanced," and that the studio's biggest team comprised of "several hundred people" was working on the game. "It's really good fun for us," he said.

CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński added "The project is very ambitious," pointing out that each of CD Projekt's games has been more successful than the last. "The ambitions are very voracious, so we would like to devote a lot of attention to Cyber, a lot of effort, and quite some time. So we still need some time before the game is ready."

Badowski again: "It's a new title for us, and it will accompany us for years, so it takes effort to prepare it properly."

And back to Kiciński: "The work is ongoing, and it's very intense. So it's not a comfortable situation because we know what it's like, we watch the game, but we can't tell you anything. This year belongs to Gwent. This year we'll be communicating Gwent."

That "accompany us for years" line seems to indicate more from Cyberpunk 2077 than a single game, but who knows if Badowski was referring to DLC or plans for sequels down the road. Either way, it doesn't sound like Cyberpunk 2077 will be a one-and-done game for CD Projekt.

Kiciński also talked briefly about CD Projekt Red planning to develop another game concurrently with Cyberpunk 2077, but offered no further details about what that game might be. Cyberpunk 2077 currently has around 300 developers working on it, and "The team will be growing, because Gwent will be serviced, Cyber will be developed, plus one more game," he said. "We already have [300 people on Cyberpunk 2077], at the very end it will probably be more, maybe 400 people."

When someone in the audience asked about CD Projekt recently hiring concept artists who would typically work on the beginning of a project, Badowski explained that those hires weren't specifically for Cyberpunk. "There are two processes. One, we are building teams. The Cyberpunk team is already complete. We are developing the studio. That is why we have these [job] items on our website, because quite often there are certain opportunity hires. We're looking for top talent on the market. That's why we're looking for concept artists. It's really hard to find the most talented concept artists, and we try to keep extending the team."

And that's everything they had to say about Cyberpunk 2077. Judging by CD Projekt's focus on Gwent, we don't expect to hear substantially more about their next RPG until Gwent is in full release later this year. Fingers crossed for more details before the holidays.

It's this one Goral :

Probably fake.

 

[Baron Dupek]

such cunning plan you can put tail in and call it a weasel

 

[Keppo]

the drama on reddit is pretty funny, people are ignorants, in gaming community sadly much more than in other mediums.

CDPR is taking in US trademark from R. Talsorian Games/Mike Pondsmith who created Cyberpunk 2020 & 2013 etc - https://trademarks.justia.com/856/81...-85681741.html

In Europe for example Sony Music has trademarks for Cyberpunk, but it doesnt cover video games. Probably if CDPR wouldn't trademarked Cyberpunk in EU they could be sued. - https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/010409258

 

[Alienman]

So the term "cyberpunk" won't be copyrighted?

 

[Gerrard]

It's this one Goral :

Probably fake.

We want the Andromeda audience.

 

[Keppo]

So the term "cyberpunk" won't be copyrighted?

Probably only if some dev will name their game like this: Cyberpunk: 2080, Cyberpunk: 2150 or Cyberpunk: Chinatown etc etc, for example there wont be problem if the name would be: Chinatown: Cyberpunk. i think so at least.


The thing is that CDPR probably has long and big plans for Cyberpunk, not only CP2077 but other big games from Mike Pondsmith established franchise, probably also smaller games and other stuff like t-shirts etc - and im not suprised that they want to protect themselves..


Its tricky situation, because if they wouldn't trademark it, then few years after Cyberpunk 2077 premiere when for example they already established big community around their Cyberpunk game and other smaller stuff from this franchise, and then some random dev studio trademarks "Cyberpunk" and sending law suit and they demand rename of Cyberpunk 2077 etc... It would be catastrophe for CD Projekt, And it is actually possible to trademark "Cyberpunk" name because in US Mike Pondsmith firm had it, and in europe Sony Music has it right now, but not on video games/online games.


This system is broken, but the outrage is funny because CDPR not stealing "Cyberpunk" as genre but they are protecting "Cyberpunk" as Mike Pondsmith established franchise and brand which they bought from him.

We want the Andromeda audience.

U are talking about hair? Its still not that much Punk, Cyberpunk genre is leftist what we can do about it. They are probably are aware who is their CORE audience and they wouldn't go full retard alienating them with TOO much progressive bullshit, at least i hope so. But sadly there will be some, because CyberPunk without leftist bullshit isnt CyberPunk anymore.

 

[Zombra]

Why, who is their "CORE audience"?

 

[Alienman]

Punks.

 

[Severian Silk]

Why, who is their "CORE audience"?

People who like story-rich RPGs? Unless they extend that to non-RPG fans, in which case the game may end up a dumbed down title like Mass Effect.

 

[Barnabas]

Soon

The joke is that Keppo is implying their "CORE audience" are conservative extremists who need to be shielded from progressive politics.

 

[Severian Silk]

Oh okay.

Conservative gamers need their (((safe space))) too.

 

[Zer0wing]

Probably fake.

Yes, or some old-ass UI concept. And why would CD Projekt censor the nipples anyway?

 

[Gerrard]

You retards think that character model looks good? Nice double standards.

After W3? Everyone. At least that's what they wanted.

 

[Zer0wing]

You retard think it's a model and their real character creator screen? Fool, 4chan is not your best ally.

 

[Perkel]

let's put a logo in character creator !

GAME NEWS: CYBERPUNK TRADEMARKED! HAS CD PROJEKT RED GONE TOO FAR?

No, it's not King going nuts with the trademarks... not this time. It's actually beloved Witcher developer CD Projekt RED. The company is attempting to copyright the word Cyberpunk so no one can use that word in a video game name. Thing is... they didn't invent that word and it refers to a whole genre, so...

 

[Perkel]

I should trademark weapon.

I would make cheeseburgenions.
