Cyberpunk 2077

[Sarafan]

TBH I expected RTX 2060 in the recommended specs and I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope that the game will run really good on the posted machine. I wonder how high the requirements will go up with ray tracing enabled. I guess we'll still have to wait to find out.

It might not be optimization, it might just be a lot of options. They've got a LOT of cash they can throw at this game.

I've been poking around a little in the old Cyberpunk 2020 rules. I had completely forgotten that the EU had risen up and eclipsed both the USA and the USSR in that world!

There's a new CP2077 ad with Keanu Reeves:

The advertising campaign is taking off for real! I hope to see a TV ad with Keanu Reeves as well. CP2077 is the first game that I pre-ordered and I'm sure that I won't be disappointed, even if I encounter some bugs.

It's Keanu so I can forget a bit of a cringe I've felt.

With WoW Shadowlands delayed until the end of the year, I can devote full time to Cyberpunk in November. Fantastic!!

I have a huge backlog, so it'll be nearly impossible to focus fully on CP2077, but it'll have a priority on my list no matter what I'll be playing when it comes out. 1,5 month left!

Need to finish Handes and Brutal playthrough of Brutal Legend before Cyberpunk 2077.
Shadowlands being delayed is great news since it frees so much of my time.

I can't imagine the fire that must be the QA in recent months.

Welp, that about checks out for 2020.

my only real feelings about this can be summed up in 3 simple letters: lol

This must reeeaaally suck for the devs 😢 I don’t mind that much about the delays, I can wait, although this one I truly didn’t see coming.

Regardless, my biggest gaming-related concern right now is getting a g****mned RTX 3080 because, otherwise, I won’t get to play Cyberpunk 2077 and any other new/new-ish game in both my backlog and my wishlist (RDR2, H:ZD, Dishonored 2, Doom: Eternal, and a looong etc.) 😔

 

[DXCHASE]

They shouldn't even have set a date, just take the time you need to get this game right.

 

[Dakkon]

Does that mean 21 more days of crunch?
Hope devs take care and I wish them all the best.

Unfortunately this means heavy crunching and I'm afraid this won't end with the release date. The game will probably need some patches after it's released and someone has to do these patches. It's the reality of AAA releases.

Looks like CDPR is really serious about the release date this time. Someone from Reddit spotted a CP2077 ad on Times Square:

Cost? Roughly $2.5 million for 4 weeks. The marketing machine speeds up...

Latest Cyberpunk news (also Night City Wire on the 19th to look forward too):

Some have complained the streets look a bit deserted while driving, but that could be because of how the video has been edited, or perhaps it is a downgrading/zone/transition thing. I dunno, I did not take too much notice of it though. What I did find a bit awkward were the fighting scenes. Seemed a bit choppy and hard to tell what the hell was going on. I hope it is because of video compression.

The overall impression of the video and what has been shown in the past is that the characters, sound/music details, and environments seem really well made. It feels like a futuristic city and one I am happily going to dive into on the 10th of December.

 

[drunkpunk]

wow that combat looks.... pretty rough around the edges, to say the least. gameplay was the thing that turned me off from the witcher, I've been hoping it's better in cyberpunk but that doesn't instill a lot of confidence. i'm still reserving judgement though, because it's entirely possible it just comes off poorly but plays better than it looks, and it isn't shown much here.

 

[Zloth]

Turn! TURN ALREADY! Arg, how can people stand playing a game like this with a controller?

@drunkpunk - combat looked great to me. This is an RPG so, if you're comparing combat, it should be to something like Mass Effect. (Played with a fraggin' controller.)

So how is this game going to work in all those Game of the Year awards? The release date puts this game right in the myopic zone between when the 'game of the year' awards are announced and the actual end of the year. Will companies put off their announcement? Will they give out the award based on review copies? Will they actually remember and nominate Cyberpunk in 2021?

 

[Frindis]

Far as I know @Zloth Geoff Keighley announced on Twitter that Cyberpunk 2077 will be eligible for the Game Awards 2021. So even if some were to say it is a GOTY 2020, it would not count.

 

[Zloth]

Geoff?!? Pthththththh!! Will see what PC Gamer says! (RPG Watch, my other haunt, always waits for the year to actually end.)

 

[Dakkon]

Lets hope 10th od December still stands as a release date.

Cyberpunk 2077 — Night City Wire: Episode 5 (the last one before release)

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCKfebVQFhU

I'm beyond hyped now! Most looking forward to spending hours with the character customization, then jumping on the closest motorcycle, turning on the radio, and just rock on into the sunset!

 

[Zloth]

Wait, what was that about style in the trailer? In Cyberpunk it is ALWAYS about style!

I wonder if we'll be able to use our own MP3's to build a custom radio channel? Nobody ever seems to let you do that now.

 

[Frindis]

@Zloth That would have been pretty cool!

 

[Dakkon]

Gotta admit that as we're nearing, I hope to inevitable release of the game I'm getting anxious.
