These archives hit the net along with the CyberPunk 2077 source code back in 2021, but the passwords to them have not been known until now

 

[Guilty_AI]

At this point, CDPR should just make the code open source and immortalize their games like DOOM was. They're abandoning the Red Engine for UE5 anyway.

 

[Spukc]

Yeah make it immortal like doom

 

[bumpkin]

As a programmer, this intrigues me. I don’t care about being able to build a playable game with the code.

 

[Spyxos]

Maybe we can play Cyberpunk pvp then.

It opens a ton of possibilities. Just look at id tech 1, there's a whole community of mods, modern ports and even full blown doom-like games.

I want to be able to build it. I don't care whether I can play it or not.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

I hope someone is as passionate about Cyberpunk as these guys are about hacking and makes a game-sized mod with new quests and content.

CP2077 receiving a single DLC is the greatest travesty of the generation.

What would you do with it?

Read through the source code for cheeky comments

 

[darrylgorn]

Any risks to players with this leak?

if its just the game archives and code that leaked, no.

 

[Solarstrike]

Flying mounts here we go

 

[SJRB]

Lmao at the twitter scrub being super salty about Cyberpunk still being bad. Imagine actually thinking that, especially after Phantom Liberty. What a doofus.

Imagine the effects this would have on gaming too- we'd get a bunch of indie WRPGs building off Witcher and Cyberpunk as a base. It'd be paradise and rejuvenate the genre even more after Baldur's Gate 3 repopularized it

Though to be extremely precise, one of the reasons DOOM engine development blew up so much is because it was relatively easy to make games using it. I don't think we'd see something nowhere near that level here, though we would probably get some cool stuff later down the line like how Quake got Arcane dimensions and WRATH.

Hey fuck you Picasso that last painting sucked.

This kind of crap doesn’t really ignite the passion. I’m assuming they ignore all the smack talk online.

more accessible development tools either way. And i'm sure redengine is probably easier to work in than Unoptimized Engine 5

I.... don't think it would. CDPR isn't exactly know for pristine game releases, and that usually relates to poor coding practices.

In fact, fixing a lot of stuff that's definitely wrong with their code would probably be one of the biggests advantages of this.

 

[Hugare]

Exciting. Infinite possibilities.

Sucks for CDPR, but they are leaving this engine behind, so who cares.

Janeway: Agent of Nod is a dumb moron

I dont think that would help much, CDPR games are not game design focused, their game design and even the world design isn't super flexible or complex, it just follows the standard, their whole power stems from writing and cinematic directing.
So indie devs dont have much material to work with.

Their engine seems very good at making large open worlds though, which is something that lacks in the realm of open source tools and 3rd party engines.

 

[M1chl]

Them officially open sourcing the game, would be legendary and could possibly spawn a gaming revolution, when more games would be open up (especially those abandoned). One can dream

 

[Don Carlo]

Cyberpunk still isn't a good game? All right buddy.

 

[bumpkin]

What would you do with it?

Get a feel for how some “pros” handle common game logic and structure problems.

 

[kapshin]

The hackers compiled the code? Damn, I've had the complier version for years!

Yep. CP>>>W3
