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

[Zer0wing]

I was struggling with a problem - the next generation nvidia cards would be out around the end of the year, but Cyberpunk was going to be out on Sept 17. In that case, I was thinking, I'll have to do one non-RTX and one RTX playthrough.

It only good if much better value wise RTX 3070 gets launched in october or early november. AyyMD RT capabilities are still questionable. Then yes, it makes sense and makes Cyberpunk a killer app for ampere and navi 2x GPUs. Two will boost each others sales. Otherwise this move doesn't make any sense.
Next-gen patch will only be out in 2021, they said it before.

I wish they'd just release it already so we could have fun shitting on it.

You have to wonder if this delay is worth avoiding the Witcher 3 post-launch period again when they basically kept patching it on weekly basis, if not every few days sometimes.

I'm pretty sure with such fucked in the head management, they have no chances of avoiding TW3 post-launch period with CP2077 since they're still making the same errors.

Really? I always thought it was just poorly written compared to Gibson's books.

Definitely intentional. Especially considering how oversaturated with ridiculousness the beginning of the book is and how later it gets toned down a bit.

 

[Silverfish]

On the other hand, calling a game or whatever "Cyberpunk" is also dumb and will conjure expectations. I mena, what is next, a game called "Space Opera 2239" or "High Fantasy -4310".

With the latest delay, "Polish Daikatana" seems pretty fitting.

Staff being on point with the thread title.

 

[Comrade Goby]

I think it's going to be great. You all doubt the Slavs

 

[PhantasmaNL]

Downgrading the gfx takes more time than we thought
Puhlease be patient and enjoy the summer
Oh wait
Enjoy the summer from your lockdown space and be safe

Enjoy the summer from your lockdown space and be safe

Is lockdown still in place somewhere? I have to admit I am no longer on top of the corona news.

 

[Harthwain]

Jesus You should love me, not condemn me, o Lord. Also, save us from the corona!

Save us from the psyop!

They were trying to be edgy edgelords. It doesn't bother me, have you ever read some novel titles?

Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 will get a free upgrade for PlayStation 5
Before a "more robust" next-gen version down the line.

Cyberpunk 2077's PS4 version will be playable on PlayStation 5 as soon as the game launches, developer CD Projekt Red has said.

Anyone with a PS4 copy will be able to play that on PS5 and receive a free update to improve the game's visuals on Sony's next-gen machine.

The news, confirmed last night in an investor call, follows CD Projekt Red's announcement in February it would support Microsoft's Smart Delivery initiative for Xbox - meaning the free upgrade will work the same there for Xbox One copies on Xbox Series X.

The developer further clarified that this would not be the final update to buff the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077. A beefier version of the game optimised for Microsoft and Sony's new machines will follow down the line - perhaps some time down the line - but again be available to PS4 and Xbox One owners free of charge.

"I can confirm this is not the final update," CD Projekt exec Michał Nowakowski said. "At some point we will have a more robust update for next-gen which we plan to give free of charge to anyone who purchases the PS4 or Xbox One version.

"But in any case you will be able to play the game on next-gen from 19th November when the game releases and it will look better than on current-gen from that moment as well."

When questioned on the timing of the "proper" next-gen version, CD Projekt could not confirm it would arrive in 2021.

With yesterday's delay of Cyberpunk 2077 until 19th November, CD Projekt unsurprsingly acknowledged that the game's unannounced single-player expansions and mysterious multiplayer portion would also shuffle back.

Single-player expansions are not "in a drawer" somewhere but still need to be made, the developer said, while multiplayer was still "distant" anyway.

One final note - CD Projekt's comments suggest the developer is working under the assumption PlayStation 5 will be available by the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on 19th November. All things can get delayed, of course, but it's promising to hear the game could be playable on next-gen straight away.

Seems like PS5 is getting delayed more than CP2077.

It will be interesting to see the chaos caused by this delay as I am pretty sure game publishers scheduled game releases around the September release date of the CP2077 behemoth.

As for delay itself, I am sad of course but I am not very worried in general. There is no denying that SARS-CoV-2 had an impact on the development process and we might never know how big it was. Personally I hope one of the big 3 (Kiciński / Iwiński / Badowski) publishes a book down the line about the real CD Projekt history so we know how it looked from the inside.

Geforce Now !?

Is this a streaming service or something?

BTW, Guru3D are saying pretty much what I said here:
https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/cyberpunk-2077-delayed-to-november-19-2020.html

The game's next margeting event is still up for June 25, and will bring new information. It is also worth mentioning that, after this delay, Cyberpunk 2077 would arrive in stores almost at the same time as the new consoles and new GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia.

Not gonna happen until a big chunk of time after, or rather a big IF, CDPR goes bankrupt and ceases to exist and these three get kicked out off the hill of the game industry. Closest thing to an inside look we have right now that is not sugar coated with PR (like NoClips "documentaries") talk is 2 hours long Witcher 1 development history documentary, which I can't find on youtube now.

Yeah I meant in the next 10-20 years. As for the docu you mention, I think I've seen it. Does it include things like mocap-sessions etc.? It was very interesting to watch.

I think I've seen most of the currently existing stuff about CD Projekt.

Seems to me CP2077 is more of a next-gen tech demo than a proper RPG, if they make decisions based on new gpu availability... In the golden days this used to happen with first person shooters, not with CRPGs....
