Edit: I just realised that I created new thread by mistake :/. It was supposed to be a reply in the teaser thread.
I'll always prefer smaller scopes and no publisher interference.
I'll take another game with TW2 graphics and TW2 size over publisher interference any day.
Fuck multiplayer, DLC, online passes, marketing, fuck them all in the face.

That's what you meant.
I don't see CD Projekt signing with EA if it'll affect the PC version when it's so important in Europe and NA. Witcher 2 360 sales didn't exactly light the world on fire to the point where they could screw the PC users over.
Nightmare fuel for GAF.
They'll just give the game zero marketing, like Shadows of the Damned.

I don't know why anyone would go with EA Partners. All of those games seem to get very little in the way of promotion and (related or not) seem to flop.
Well, EA Partners these days actually lets you choose your distribution method, which is why you see things like Amalur and Warp on Steam.
That'd be pretty heartbreaking.In any case I'd be shocked if they Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk were not sold DRM free on Gog. Not gonna happen.

The PC version wouldn't be touched by EA would it? How hard would it be to just slap it on GoG and Steam?
Why would they not just stick with Atari, was it the DRM issue?
What about Squarenix or Ubisoft as publishers? 2K Games, maybe?

CD Projekt CEO was interviewed by TVN CNBC and had few interesting things to say:
- Trailer represents the level of in-game graphics that they're aiming for.
- Cyberpunk 2077 will have a much bigger marketing budget than any of their previous games, and they're confident it will be a commercial success comparable to the "big games". The most important market for C2077 will be NA.
- They are about to start talks with publishers about their second title (which will be announced on 5 February).
The last point suggest that we may as well see some gameplay footage from the second title.
I wonder how the deals with games like Shank went.I hope Ubi/Square becomes the publisher, anything but EA as their partner program has been a disaster.

Bethesda or 2K sound like the ideal picks, SE wouldn't be so bad, either.
Square Enix + bigger marketing budget + TW IP = facebook app to plough your friends?
Bethesda or 2K don't strike me as publishers that would allow them to ship when it's ready, they might force them to put the product out sooner than what CDP would prefer.
Dishonored sounds like it was a perfect match with Beth, that's why.Bethesda or 2K don't strike me as publishers that would allow them to ship when it's ready, they might force them to put the product out sooner than what CDP would prefer.
Bethesda gave Arkane all the time they need for Dishonored, their other studio Machinegames are working on one game game since forever now, Bethesda/Zenimax don't seems to push developer.
the good thing about Bethesda publishing CDPR games is is that they have loyal WRPG and shooter fanbase that will be good for The CDPR and Witcher 3/Cyberpunk.
Hell, I'd go for it just to see Square Enix Japan make a CGI Witcher trailer.
Well, against Bethesda, there is the fact that Prey 2 seems dead in the water for whatever reason...
If Atlus had a European branch (or if CDPR can handle it there themselves) I'd kinda like them to do it: it'd be THE great western RPG they can help get released, and they favor extremely nice LEs, I half expect the likes of EA would want to convince them to abandon the notion of a great standard package.
Kinda expect WB again though.
If rumors are to be believed then Prey 2 issue is with Human Head extra demands that weren't in the original contract they signed with Bethesda.
it's actually a point for Bethesda since they still didn't just say "fuck it" and kill the project or moved it to another studio when it was over a year and Human Head were refusing to work on it.
Why would they not just stick with Atari, was it the DRM issue?
Yeah, they'd deliver on the packaging but not the marketing. :/I doubt Atlus could or would afford the level of marketing Witcher 3 would warrant. There's a reason they publish smaller european titles

Square probably won't bother with a physical PC version though, all of their recent games outside of Europe on PC have been DD-only, even huge titles like Hitman and TR are skipping retail.Yeah, if they have to get a publisher I'd like it to be either Square or Bethesda. Both have the financials to do it, and both have a good recent history with publishing new IPs and releasing good PC versions of them.

Atari has no money.
The thread is based around the assumption they're signing a publishing deal instead of a distribution deal since this is so far from launch.
