So some journalists gets to play the game but normal gamers can't even watch their gameplay video?

I don't like CD Projekt

Now why do you think that is...?

They keep delaying the game, they delayed the event due to BLM boogeymen (you should've seen the shit they've got for that in Poland, lmao), now when there's that rare occasion they allow anyone to play the game they don't allow recording any footage. The game was supposed to be out 2 months ago and you're not allowing any footage? Seriously? Can't wait to read hyped-up bullshit from journos again instead of being able to see for myself. Remember how they claimed the game was literally ultimate next-gen and evolution of gaming and when they released the footage to the public it was literally nothing special?

Plot twist: they decided to do Star Citizen route and will sell people dream of the game through merch, instead actual game.

IDK, what could they be worried about - visuals, railroaded-ness?

maybe their game barely hits 15 fps on consoles.

They already went through all the trouble to remove the story parts so it won't spoil the game, why would they forbid recording gameplay video? Even the journalists would want to record it because a video is definitely gonna make more money for them then writing a vague article we have already read three times before.

Unless they are going to hide the game until the very last moment, otherwise there is no reason for them to do so. It only hurts their reputation.

I doubt it's that bad, in fact I was worried last time I watched the trailer that the models' body detail reminded me too much of Fallout 4.

It is a mystery indeed. What could they be worried about - open areas may turn out to be less open than advertised? Or footage of shooting at police/black people, or some other political bullshit?

 

[Yosharian]

I'm gonna go ahead and bet that it's due to bugs

That would be my guess. I assume they are going to start the hype* machine any day now and they don't want anyone to spoil things.

*I know the hype machine is working for some time now but I mean the last-push-kind-of imminent release hype campaign.

 

[Dodo1610]

Why should they bother showing anything at this point?

Everyone already thinks Cyberpunk 2077 is the best game ever. Go to any comment section or social network ans say anything even remotely negative about it and watch countless people defend a game they never played.

Wouldn't gameplay video recorded by the people actually playing it generate more hype comparing to a dry article?

On the other hand, that's a pretty risky reputation to have.

cant wait for all the journo quotes how they were blown away by the game. how is it miles better than last year (when they were also blown away)

maybe they are trying to hide their "Abby".

Nah...

They keep delaying the game, they delayed the event due to BLM boogeymen (you should've seen the shit they've got for that in Poland, lmao), now when there's that rare occasion they allow anyone to play the game they don't allow recording any footage. The game was supposed to be out 2 months ago and you're not allowing any footage? Seriously? Can't wait to read hyped-up bullshit from journos again instead of being able to see for myself.

Please, tell us more, I think we all need some laughs.

Well, it's not really that interesting to talk about. It's just that pretty much every article talking about it was full of comments that they've sold out to the West, that they're supporting thieves and people who destroy cities and, most importantly, vandalise monuments of Polish national heroes (like Kościuszko). Everyone was saying they'll just pirate the game now and that CDP can fuck off. Moderators could barely keep up.

If anyone still has any doubts about protester IQs being in the range of 40-70, here's an excerpt from the article:

Kościuszko also fought for the rights of national and racial minorities. In his will, he donated a portion of his estate to free black slaves belonging to Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States. However, Jefferson did not fulfil Kościuszko’s testament.

Kościuszko also bequeathed sums for the education of freed Afro-American slaves to enable them to function normally in society. According to many historians, he was ahead of his time with this will.

Nothing personal, kiddo.

It's 'Access Journalism' 101. Triple-A developers and opinion leaders are in dialectical connection of shit and piss, they can't exist without supporting each other and rubbing each others erogenous zones.
CDPR failed in presenting CP2077 in an awesome light in 2018 - the game was criticized even on their own controlled forum and info-channels, and the unfinished sloppy look was not the center of criticism, failed to market the game in 2019 two times with highly edited 'Deep Dive' and highly unedited recorded on a potato leak, it was criticized again, mainly the sloppy game design they adhere to. Which is what they hate - they hate that we see the bullshit part through professionally written story and muh presentation, hate the hate for how they design systems and balance the gameplay. Why would they haste with presenting the game for gamers that will thrash their designers again? And those who admitted to torrent this game after CDPR supported BLM shitshow.
