"CD Projekt has said it can’t guarantee that Cyberpunk 2077’s new-gen console versions will make it out this year as planned..."

Jeez. This game really needed years longer in the oven. Though i guess some things just never come together in the end no matter what.

Regardless, i don't think i'll ever wait longer to play a game i was super hyped for than i will this one.

Some great irony there, with reacting to @prettybadtweets.

Think they should skip taking it out the oven and just go straight for cremation, the game is dead at this point. There is no excited hype anymore well apart from the astroturfing faithful.

It's weird to me to see so many people care about the next-gen upgrade given its mostly visual and performance improvement when most of those same people who complain would say that the game even without bugs is mediocre. If that's the case i fail to see why some many people are outraged about this delay, i mean its not that amazing game isnt it?

For me i dont care about the next gen upgrade as much as i care to see what kind of expansion they are going to make.

As for next-gen for Witcher 3 i expect it to come with Witcher Netflix season 2, it will be a good marketing move to do that.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
I got the ps4 version for the free ps5 upgrade I purchased off ebay for $20. It's just sitting on my shelf waiting for the upgrade, I refuse to play it until then.

Ok we got it, you can't make this game playable. just don't make Witcher 3 next update mandatory I don't need to see another fuckup this year.

What a nightmare. I wonder what the chances are that they just end up abandoning the game and moving on.
They are in a terrible spot at the moment. If they continue to promise stuff they can't keep they will look bad. At the same time if they abandon the game now they will look bad for all the games they want to release in the future (why would anyone bother getting their games if they all come out in a trash state?). I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now.

I really don't care as I've already enjoyed my first playthrough immensely.
I do worry about the future effects this cluster fuck will have on their next game(s). All this frantic extra dev time and PR scramble must have destroyed whatever plans they had set in stone.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
It could've been worse, you could've been one of those cunts that paid £49.99. What kind of fucking astronomical idiot would pre order a game these days?

Me of course.

So my mantra in the beginning was wait for the definitive version for PS5 for ~$20. I did the same thing with Witcher 3 on ps4 and it worked well. When I saw the $10 deal at best buy I reasoned... Well they said the ps5 version will be here soon and this has a free upgrade, why not. Wtf is wrong with me?

Even more fun for me as I returned The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt within an hour of release, after the game was a buggy mess and kept crashing on the ps4. I've learnt my lessons now after buying two turds from this developer, don't buy another CDPR game is permanently burnt in to my subconsciousness.❤

As if we all didn't see that coming.. Does anyone actually believe any date/timeline CDPR give!?

I've been saying to people since day fucking 1 to not expect next gen version for more than a year or even longer. I remember when the game launched ppl were saying I'll wait a few months or 6 months when they release next gen version. Fuckin LOL
 
The next gen update is basically a resolution bump, RT and increased NPC count right?

I don't know jack shit about porting games to consoles, but a year for the next gen patch doesn't seem right. Is there 5 people working on the next gen update?
 
They should really stop with the release dates at this point. That was the main problem with the game in the first place: Give definitive dates months out, backing out of the date again and again, end up backing themselves in a corner with impatient customers and then rushing themselves releasing content that wasn’t quite ready.

How ’bout retreating to a strategy like: ‘STFU till you have something’ like No Man’s Sky did?

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
The good news is that people will stop putting CD Project on a pedestal and treat them as the multimillion dollar company they are.
How many good games have they even made, one? I feel like people forget that the first Witcher got bad to tepid reviews, and the second one got mediocre reviews. I remember being surprised at the announcement of The Witcher 2, the first one was bargain bin fodder and no one cared about it.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Hopefully they will learnt their lesson and stop making games on consoles. Looking at how great the PC version is, its obvious their strength is PC and only PC

? It's doing pretty good, and people are still talking about it.
not at retail it's not, seeing as retailers are pretty much giving it away now. Kind of find it ironic they were trying to bundle a steelbook with it like this thing has any chance of been collectible lol it's in the same company as fallout 76 for dumpster fire games. Feel sorry for any poor fuck who paid full price let alone the even higher costs for those bloated collector editions.

I mean why did those people release the game in 2020?... This game should have been a Fall 2021 release, the earliest...
An anonymous dev on reddit basically said as much. He and the team were expecting 2022 and 2020 was dropped on them out of nowhere

I doubt this game will even get a No Man’s Sky comeback. Better games and true next gen games will start rolling out leaving this shit in the dust as they take a year or two to even just patch it up.

I honestly feel this game will have serious legs from a quality standpoint. This is far from terrible. They have an incredible foundation with what's already there. Once they get to that level of polish that they need and then start moving to their DLC related content, I think the tone will be very different about this game.

You gotta link that shit bro

I recall this was stated too.

Funny enough, looking at this shit now, I can see how such a thing was true. Look at how they are struggling to even patch, update, make next gen versions, DLC etc. I just don't buy that even 2022 we'll see some solid turn around and a working game, this game legit sounds like it needs YEARS in development to be a normal, functional game, nevermind all the features stripped, just to make it WORKING it needs that time. The more time goes on, the more its showing that dev was 100% spot on in questioning that 2020 release and thinking it was a joke.

Remember how everyone trashed No Mans Sky and now everyone fawns over it?

Same thing will happen here. Sentiment will change in 2022.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
its amazing how a reputation of a company could plummet so fast

I still remember CDPR is considered one of the best game studio and it has a huge number of fanbase,its like a cult.
