BaamAlex · Oct 28, 2020

Aaaaaand...another delay. I knew it.

*faceplants desk* Ok, I understand they want the game to be amazing, but this is just getting ridiculous at this point.

Do you think Cyberpunk 2077 will indeed release on December 10th or will it be delayed further into next year?

Investors wouldnt want you to miss the holiday season.

This is actually a sign of non confidence. They worked so hard at manufacturing the image of being the next 'Rockstar', that if that is axed due to too many technical issues on some game versions, they'd loose all of that.

So the message at this point is, that they have an issue - that they absolutely think they have to address before going public.

Management effed up, and this is damage control. Or their ambitions were too high, and this is damage control.

How big the damage actually is, we cant say at this point - again they pokered very high this time ('the next Rockstar'), so its expected that they release something stellar.

Or put simply, some of the mock reviews marketing payed for probably came back 8/10 and cited technical/gameplay issues.

You guys acting like this is their first time, remember when they delayed the witcher 3 twice ?

It's a really bad move considering how close to the release date and peoples taking off work days to play it but it happens and should be a really good advice to peoples to never preorder stuff and just wait for it to be released

As someone who doesn't care about the game and has searched nothing about it, what was the original intended release date before all these delays?

23 seconds in with infografic:

The rest of the 'reporting' is complete bs though.

I understand that it could be an effect of the pandemic, they might have had scheduling issues. I don't really care.
Maybe they should have made CP2077 a PC exclusive for a while, while they port it into consoles or whatever they want.

A part of me thinks that if devs did this, PC ports might not have the problems they do, and it'd allow the devs to get the heavier lifting of supporting different HW configurations first and to also do things that can only be done on PC hardware...kind of like how it used to be with games like the OG Deus Ex. That game's PS2 port was considered inferior in ways that I don't know have been seen ever since that generation of gaming.

Still, all console ports usually boil down to it scaling everything back to run on their proprietary CPU's, GPUs, RAM configuration, etc..

I'm just curious as to what those 9 platforms are.
I can only think of 6, which they did confirm:

-Ps4
-Ps5
-Xbox One
-Xbox Series
-Windows
-Stadia

April 16 huh

There are just too many game breaking bugs. Some of them make the game totally unplayable. Some of playtesters even cancelled their preorders, even tho they are big fans, because the game is in a such a bad state right now.

So turns out we can blame current gen consoles for this delay, "the game for PC is ready and plays well on next-gen consoles and the company is finalizing the process concerning current gen consoles," according to CD Projekt CEO Adam Kicinski.

Also I called it: due to the delay, CP2077 is no longer eligible to receive GOTY awards for 2020.

Lastly, stop sending death threats to CDPR over this you nutjobs.

I swear, it’s gonna be a duke nukem forever scenario where the development is more interesting than the game

I think that the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X count as separate consoles to CDPR. Also GeForce Now.

Hm... I don't see why they would separate them though, to the point of calling them different platforms.

And then a mandatory day one patch that fixes a critical bug.

And what if this game ends up the same?

I have dissed this game but to be fair it does not look crap in the same way that Duke Nukem Forever was crap.
Duke Nukem Forever was literal crap. Me not being that interested in this game is down to personal taste.

After thinking it through I've decided to cancel my pre-order. Given that it's almost inevitable that post launch bugs will be discovered and with all these constant delays not doing much to help with those worries, I think I'll hold off getting this game until I can afford a PS5 and have this be one of my first next gen titles to play.

I'm truly amazed that all AAA+ games has to download GBs of D1 patch, people are still preordering games.
