    2. It’s true. CDPR really needs to recover their former status with the Witcher 4 but it is questionable that they will. They are going to use Unreal Engine 5 instead of their own REDengine as part of a deal with Epic. I’m wondering what that deal is.

      1. you know what? I hope witcher 4 sucks and closes the studio. I waited for so long for cyberpunk and it was absolute trash. CDPR needs to be made an example of.

          1. i really like sci fi space combat and mods so, you know what i am gonna do with starfield for mods.

        2. was always going to happen once a lot of the original staff left and were replaced with purple hair problem glasses cretins

          1. This seems to be happening with all major game studios. It’s likely happened to Rockstar North and they’re putting out the same pre-release woke nonsense like Volition did with the new Saints Row.

            If GTA6 is a financial flop then it might induce a crash in the “AAA” games industry. Can a woke GTA game beat the titan that has been GTA5?

      2. The deal is that REDengine is a huge burden on the dev team and using a ready made engine capable of delivering better visuals frees up resources for the dev team to focus on the game itself.

        Reply

        1. I understand the using Unreal Engine 5 but the way it’s being reported is that using that engine is only part of the deal with Epic. The other part is what I’m wondering about.

          Reply

          1. Ah I see. Yeah I hope it doesn’t mean there’s an EGS store exclusivity deal coming, although I HIGHLY doubt that would ever happen, given CDPR’s ownership of GOG.

          2. I highly doubt that CDPR would make the Witcher 4 a timed exclusive on EGS too but I would like to know the details on what the deal is that they made with Epic besides using the Unreal Engine 5.

          3. Hmmm. I don’t even wanna imagine what the rest of the deal is. But unreal engine has become crap, stuttery rubbish. I rather that stay with engine. It’s like the Xbox 360 era all over again. Every damn game made with unreal.

        2. That is false and you should know better. When you build your own engine YOU know it better than any other engine. Yes it does cost a lot of money to maintain an engine. Better visuals is subjective. An engine doesn’t have much to do with visuals. And I know you know this. If you want talk about visuals, name one game that is more detailed than CP2077? Yes game should’ve been better, but in the visuals department it’s unbeatable.

          But I thought it wasn’t all about JUST GRAPHICS. Because this graphics p*rn is what got us in this mess to begin with. Every game that is released now is just soulless AF!

          Reply

          2. No I’m not insane, but it’s not 1993. It’s 2022 visual fidelity can be achieved with just about any engine. It’s called an engine because it runs the game. It’s like saying the Hemi head determines the color of tundra. C’mon man

          3. It’s called an engine because it’s the bulk of the code needed to handle aspects of rendering, asset workflows, and pretty much everything that allows the game to function. Your analogy isn’t correct, because a car’s color doesn’t depend on the engine it has, but a game’s rendering features are directly affected by the architecture of the engine. UE5’s Nanite system for example makes a ton of things possible on the rendering side that would’ve otherwise been impossible. This is basic computer graphics knowledge.

          4. I guess he means that a game can be beautiful, and/or transport you to another world, and/or feel immersive, etc, even if it doesn’t use an advanced engine?
            It’s true. Some old games have lots of visual identity even if they’re totally outdated on a technical level.

            I don’t know, Giants Citizen Kabuto, for example? How about No One Lives Forever? Even Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.
            Now those games had SOUL.

            Or maybe I completely misunderstood his post.

          5. That’s a valid point, rendering fidelity and beauty are obviously two different things, but I don’t think that’s what Sr.Chalice is talking about.

          6. I think using Unreal Engine 5 allows them to hire more experts and not lost a tonne of time training them to use an in-house engine.
            So now, they have basically deepened the pool of human resources they can recruit.

          7. Yes, that makes sense and understandable. But something sinister is going on here. CDPR has been too easily getting in bed with epic.

      3. CDPR really needs to recover their former status

        not a chance now. company is riddled with sjw feminist types

        Reply

          1. Words really don’t mean anything anymore, these days.
            1984 was soooooo ahead of its time.
            “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.”
            And look at CDPR’s tweet. The words’ meaning is totally reversed.
            It’s true what they say. Western countries look like they’re self-sabotaging themselves or something.

          2. Their self-proclaimed “greater creative strength, perspective and knowledge” in tandem with being “among the most advanced employers” has delivered an 87% fall in stock valuation, lol.

      4. Right now, I only have faith remaining in IOI, Bethesda (you can call them bug snatchers but still they have managed to pull considerably well from that Fallout 76 massacre), Valve, Eidos Montreal, Crystal Dynamics, Remedy, Monolith (damn, where are they now?), Capcom (they love Denuvo but I have crack!!!), Avalanche Studios (Just Cause), From Software and some indie devs. Other than that, it is too hard to find some studios good enough for developing reasonably decent gaming experiences. CP2077 with this patch, I have played it for a while and it didn’t feel like it has managed to enhance the old experience. But it is indeed a ton better than the original release. Still, it has no soul in it. and the UE5 adoption has become a concerning matter. I assume you are well aware of Crystal Dynamics has already landed their feet on UE5 for the upcoming TR game. Their Foundation Engine has some of the most stunning photorealistic rendering pipelines in the entire industry. But I really don’t like ditching their in-house engine just because of Nanite & Lumen of UE5. Although I have a feeling that their latest SOTR is kind of budget optimized, less-optimistic, kind of quick-play type of release which the other TR games (including the old ones) don’t have. What do you think? UE5 really closes the financial tradeoffs?

    3. Holy sh**!
      I checked the numbers again, and they’re down from an All Time High of $31 by the end of 2020 to $4 now, that a goddamn -87% of it’s priiice!!!

      1. Yep! With their stock having cratered so catastrophically and with their future looking bleak it wouldn’t in the least surprise me if there’s an announcement soon of staff redundancies. But that may not be sufficient so maybe they’ll have to sell GOG but I don’t imagine it being worth all that much given that it barely makes any profit.

      2. It’s looking pretty bleak for CD Project but they have brought this on themselves. Probably their last chance is if they get the Witcher 4 right but that’s not looking very good either.

        1. The studio is dead. Only thing that still exists is the name, the brains behind it are long gone. Just forget about them after TW3.

    4. A lot of shares are going through a similar situation and it’s perfectly normal, market is going through its natural cycle and a lot of over valued shares are nuking.

    5. Let them die! Won’t make a slight difference in our lives, since the real company have died just after TW3 release.

    1. i have finish this game twice. both on patch 1.3.1 and patch 1.5.2. i play it on a 4790K with a 970. didnt had any problems running it. mid to high settings on 1080p 60Hz monitor. got a steady 50FPS everywhere. peaks to 60FPS. didnt feel like it was stuttering or anything. so i dont know what you are talking about about the performance problem.

      Reply

      1. if you have a 144 hz screen and play on the highest settings with a RTX 2080 Ti and try to aim above 60 fps but it hovers around 50 than i call that a performance problem. Others call it a optimization problem.

  8. I love how the anime looks wholesome and awesome and the actual game looks ugly and depressing and degenerate. The comparison between media in japan and the west is mindblowing.

    Reply

    1. Ofc, in Japan they are keen to show the art, while in the west, they’re only keen to show the politics. So, while they’re hiring talented artists there, here studios are hiring activists. Then we get Saints Row-like games.

  13. Nah!
    It’s perfectly fine and playable after all the updates up to this point, though it’s still rather shallow in open world mechanics and interactivity.

  16. You know what – after the abomination of declined promises of what CB 2077 would have been?Let them have it!Loved them for W2 and W3, but i want no more of this agony!Hope W4 fails and they close doors!Defended them more times than i can think of after the release of 2077, but no more of this!The old and creative individuals behind W2 and W3 lef long time ago.CPRED are just like Blizzard and BioWare now- a sad shadow of their former selves

  17. Dont get it why people still talk crap about this game. i have finished this game twice. once on the 1.31 patch and once on the 1.5.2 patch. both times i had a great time to play through it. i have not seen any major bugs on both patches. nothing that didnt make me want to play the game or real game breaking bugs. people always have to talk crap about everything. just play it already its a great game.

    Reply

  19. Have just installed this game again with this update and now every character is black (not normal people black, but black with no expressions at all). Guess I’ll try to reinstall and see what happens. I ran out of games to play, so I guess I’ll give this one another shot.
