Cyberpunk 2077 spotted in PS5 database with alternate art

Owned the game on Xbox since launch day thx to having and selling the xbox one x ltd edition console….I've booted the game for like 10 minutes then left it Until it gets updated.

fingers crossed they do A good update.
 
1.5 update is expected for this quarter, so it makes sense the next gen version will release at the same time. Cyberpunk already has a great base game, add some more life to the city, fix the bugs and start adding more RPG elements and it's going to be an awesome game with a ton of replayability.

Next stop should be MP.
 
More time won't necessarily fix problems arising from bad planning on a technical foundational level.

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree that cyberpunk is fundementally broken on last gen where not even more dev time can fix it.

I mean, they spent a year patching it and it's better, but it's still really bad. So it all depends on what you mean by fixed.

Somthing like RDR2 performance.

I mean the odd few dropped frames is ok, but sustained sections where is below 25fps is unacceptable.

It isn't just about performance. You can continue to whittle away at the features until it stays above 25fps but that doesn't mean what's left is going to be a satisfactory experience. The last gen ports aren't just choppy, they're ugly, with really space npcs, loading/streaming issues, and stability problems. At a certain point optimization becomes a zero sum game, and you can't improve one aspect without taking away from another.

The thing is you dont know if this is the case with cyberpunk, the X1 and PS4 I dont think were tapped out, there were plenty of games which had a better visual package then cyberpunk.
Just take a look at forza horizon 5 and horizon forbidden west, sensible scaling still delivers a decent experience for the target platform.

The thing is we are both correct, what im saying could be true and what your saying could be true so theres no point in arguing about it.
 
About time ffs. I guess the rumors of a big update in February are looking more likely!

It better be a free upgrade from the PS4 version 😒
They've kept saying that all last year so I agree they better keep their word.

It's a free XSX upgrade. So if there is a charge for a PS4 to pS5 upgrade it will be because Sony is charging it, not CDPR.
Stop spreading flimsy/unlikely FUD. They made the same promises for both console versions. It would be more honest to say if they charge for the PlayStation one, then they will also charge on the Xbox.

Only had a sealed Xbox version on the shelf since December 9th 2020...
My $10 Best Buy fire sale copy is ready.
Same you guys, I've had a sealed copy for 6 months now and if it doesn't get patched before February 25th it may stay sealed forever.

Yeah, man, MOST games on last gen look better than Cyberpunk. Because those games are designed to leverage the strengths and weaknesses of the hardware. That's my point.

Cyberpunk can't do that because the engine and the assets were never designed with that spec in mind, they were crowbarred onto the system like 5 years into development. And there's really no way to fix that without starting over.

I don't think you're really getting what I am saying here. They painted themselves into a corner by doing too much work that was just incompatible with last gen spec and not having any clear sensible way to scale it down. Another year isn't going to solve for the 5 years of engine development they did that won't ever work.

I don't know what is leading you to believe there tech was not designed to work on last gen.

I get exactly what you're saying, but its just your speculation, you have nothing to back up your claims.
 
Fuck the haters. Bunch of whiny ass bitches who get personally offended any time someone says something remotely positive about the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 was a kickass game despite its flaws. My favorite game of 2020. Can't wait for a second play-through once all the DLC and upgrades are released.
Do you mean the stupid snowflakes at reera ? because it's them and that ugly troll from Bloomberg who was pissed at them because they gave him the finger and he is an attention whore.

Cyberpunk is an awesome game. and it sold really well. those snowflakes ( some of them come here to neogaf too to bitch about it) can suck it. Makes me happy when I see them mad this game did well.

It's very CPU heavy, for one, which really doesn't scale in the same way as GPU, where you can just drop resolution and effects quality. And the open world streaming aspect of it seems to require both CPU decompression and data read speeds that are totally out of scope for last gen (and those two things are at odds with each other because easing up on one would make the other worse).

It's a broken game that delivered on none of the promises the devs made about it and should not have released when it did. It sold really well on preorders based on a mountain of lies and has has trickling heavily discounted sales since.

Like a lot of people I bought it at launch, tried to play through the buggy mess that it is, gave up after a few hours and have been waiting on a PS5 patch since. There's promise to this game but CDPR totally flubbed it and lost the entire reputation they built on the back of the Witcher 3 in the process.

What a bunch of bs you are talking there.
 
Hopefully they won't sandwich this upgrade in between a heavy-hitting February. March would be best, when I'll actually have time to play it.
 
I have the feeling they're coming in with the big guns. They won't fuck up this , that's for sure.

Édit: I was not sarcastic lol, I really believe they'll deliver something awesome
If they do fuck it up, it really will be the last nail in the coffin.

No one will trust them ever again.
 
Friend of mine recently got the game on pc and told me that the game seemed quite bug free. So there is a chance.
I played it on XSX the moment it launched, completed it in about a month. Was never buggy for me, I had more difficulty with XSX pad not turning the console on than with CP2077.

Optimizations have reduced CPU load.

I just dont agree that an acceptable version of cyberpunk could not be done on base last gen consoles.
 
I played the game and I liked the game. Not sure what you trying to say here. That's not the issue.

I still trust them as much as I trust any other corporation. What are you trying to say exactly? Are you implying game companies should be always trusted based on their previous work or they should not be trusted because they fucked up once or twice? I mean if you played the game you should know that you should never ever trust a corporation whether it was CDPR pre-cyberpunk release, FROM software, and so on and so forth.
 
Yeah, they should not of released it when they did.
If anything it shouldnt have released until this year. I mean, if you believe a few of the devs who have come out, most of the team were under the impression that they were working on a game set for 2022 at the earliest. Their managers basically blind sided them when they announced that moronic april 2020 release date, hence the reason the game was delayed until the last possible time it could in 2020. I would love to see what this game could have been if it gotten the time it deserved. As of now, its the game that made everyone turn on cd projekt red, and its gonna take another big win to get back the mind share of most of those people
 
wtf is this answer, the other guy knows and just gave you the answer.

Oh really where have Cdpr confirmed what he said?

Guess what, they didnt.

They infact said not enough time was the problem, like Ive been saying this whole god dam time


. "We underestimated the scale and complexity of the issues, we ignored the signals about the need for additional time to refine the game on the base last-gen consoles,"

I think it would involve actually remaking the game.

Like people want to comparen to RDR2 or GTA or whatever and ignore that the density of Cyberpunk is orders of magnitude higher than those games. So you end up either having to severely reduce the quality of those assets or actually redesign the map to not be like that.
 
What a comprehensive and compelling argument
Fine, its not good because its buggy, its not good because customization is severely limited, its not good because the performance on consoles is not great, yes even on series x, its not good because they censored nudity despite doubling down on it in marketing, its not good because the side quesfs are boring, and its not good because as neat as night city is, its not reactive to you like at all, there isn't even a functioning police system!!

See my prior post, I quoted where CDPR said they needed more time.

Performance was fine, but I was playing it on PS5. There's plenty of customisation. I don't know why you think they cencored nudity, it's literally the first thing you see when you hit new game. The side quests are well written, at least the yellow ones. Even the blue side quests have plenty of context and individual design.

Are you sure you actually played it?
 
Finished it one Series X, I really liked it. Can't wait to return to Night City. Lets hope the update bringt some QoL improvements as well.
 
The reality of where the game is at backs up my opinion, as well as what we know of the development history.

No it doesn't, you are just assuming these things.

What about the game or its development history proves that the game cant run reasonably well on last gen?
