CD Projekt Red decided once again to delay the upcoming first-person role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077. This is probably very disappointing for the players, since Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated titles of the year. Although we all knew this was probably going to happen anyway.
According to the tweet, CDPR doesn’t want to ship an unfinished game. While all the gameplay elements are in the game, the team wants to further polish it. It’s obvious that CDPR wants to avoid what happened with The Witcher 3 during its buggy/glitchy launch period.
They’re also fully aware that making such a decision might cost them player trust, and trading trust for additional time is a very hard decision for a game developer.
This is the second time that CD Projekt RED delays Cyberpunk 2077. Funny thing is that the game was originally meant to come out in April 2020.
Lastly, they want to apologize for making players wait longer, and they believe in the end it will all worth it.

Cyberpunk 2077 will now launch on November 19th. CD Projekt RED may also reveal some new gameplay footage on June 25th, during its Night City Wire Event.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

hope they don’t downgrade and offer something worth the delays.
PC will probably have parity with the new consoles, it will not run well on a current console or a PC not packing an RTX 3000 (yes i meant to say 3000).
I think it has to do with next gen consoles.
It won’t run well, or look good, on the current shitboxes, by launching all versions at once they’ll be able to say “hey it works on XSX/PS5, you can look forward to that”(at least they aren’t making anyone buy it twice).
PCs also will only run maxed on RTX 3000s
it wont run well on pcs either, not with gaytracing on.
That would be smart but what speaks against it is that they would now already know they’re shipping on next-gen so why hold that info back?
It will be interesting if DXR realtime raytracing will be available on game launch in November or it will delayed to 2021. In last 2 years a lot of games delayed raytracing. We still waiting for Doom Ethernal raytracing update.
Yeah, I was thinking of that as well.
Well if it the PC version does not get downgraded and ends up with even better visually then I say good, take your time.
I rather have a better and completed game than one that is down graded and not finished. Heck We waited this long so at this point who cares, same with Dying Light 2(which is at the top of My list), I just want it to be awesome on the PC that is all.
How so? If anything the launch hdate postponements are taken in order to make the game run on toasters that were PS4 and XBox One.
Well done!
I know getting dates for when software is going to be ready is no easy task, but still, these are big companies, why even provide a date in the first place if you’re not sure? how do we know they are not going to just delay it again?
You answered your own question there.
We don’t. It might as well launch in 2077 when we’re all moved on to another plane of existence (the ground that is).
days before November 19th: once again Cyberpunk 2077 delayed, but now with no release date (TBA).
Fine by me but I can imagine the outcry and pants wetting happening right this moment
Some people just live sad lives when a video game delay is something for them to cry out about.
Makes me feel old….. and somewhat wise.
Tells you a lot about the current conditions the majority of the people in the world live in. First they are conditioned to be the regular and obedient consumers but when those launch dates get pushed don’t be surprised if they are not happy with it. People tend to have plans and constant goalpost moving is not a good look.
i`m not even mad https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8c09bc5b8514fd5b467015e063dcea18ae5b0ff361b327ccf6e9f582b004b927.gif
they just don’t want the black rioters stealing there game right now. probably scared some more gamestops and targets will get burned down and they will lose sales.
Obvious troll is obvious. Also, consider suicide.
he is right in france there was a supermarket that gave ps4 for 100, the stores were stormed and sieged by blacks.
so you could say “playstation not secured”
Blacks AND arabs.
My two favorite kind of people.
Meanwhile, white people work hard to purchase their stuff.
go be a sjw lgbtbbq+ woke marxist elsewhere. also reported for encouraging suicide. i have a history of depression and other issues.
Sweeping sjw lgbtbbq+ woke and marxism under the same rug and doing it with the “white power” in your handle – you must be one fruity son of a gun.
You sure have a lot of issues all right.
I wonder if the commenters grasp how big this game is. CDPR has stated that it will be much bigger than the Witcher 3. They have around twice as many people working on the game as they did for Witcher 3. Do some research if you don’t believe that.
CDPR doesn’t want to release the game broken where you can’t even finish the main story.
A little patience is required here. If the game still ends up being a turd on release then bash away but until then we have lost nothing. Even the people who have pre-orderd can get there money back if it’s a turd.
They already said the game will be smaller than Witcher 3 but with more replayability…do your research.
Yes the map is smaller than the The Witcher 3 said by the CDPR itself.
how many times the game has been delayed?
try 3-4

Dont get your hopes up for this game dudes.
Have you finally flipped your lid durka durka? Is this what will end your gaming fun? If, and I mean if, the game turns out to be a turd then you can bash it and be a hero of the people but what if it doesn’t turn out to be a turd?
>but what if it doesn’t turn out to be a turd?
yup.
Lets see, ace combat 7 was the best ace combat. Made in japan. Dmc5 was pretty good, made in japan. Metro exodus was pretty good mate in ukraine i think, terminator salvation was decent for the price better than the movie or the last few star wars movies, made in poland.
Hmm i am beginning to see a pattern here.
CDprojekt doesnt count, 75% of the devs are foreigners and they have a team that removes stuff that and i quote a industry biz article “make sense from a polish perspective but dont make sense from an american perspective”
Can you at least wait for the game to be released before condemning it? That seems reasonable to me. Maybe it won’t be a turd. That is a possibility isn’t it?
also doom eternal was pretty good, made in texas
Delayed 3 times and doesnt bother adding 3rd person view, what an a*s..
But you can choose to be gender fluid!, they clearly focus on the important things during development…./s
CDPR always was a mess in terms of management…this is just part of their tradition.
the guy who downvoted you downvotes anyone who points out sjw stuff.
The guy is probably denying reality, is a coping mechanism that at the end is just a denial of himself.
Yup, Glassdoor reviews were true all along.
I called this. Not sure if the new release date is a smart choice though, considering that’s when the new consoles launch. The most likely people to buy a new console game are also rather likely to buy a new console. And Cyberpunk is a current-gen game so people who do buy a next-gen console will avoid it, opting instead for true next-gen games. Obviously Cyberpunk will be released for next-gen consoles a few months, maybe a year later so that’s an additional reason to avoid it on consoles. They would have been MUCH better off launching ahead of the new consoles or having a next-gen version available at launch.
EDIT: I just did a little reading on this and it turns out the Xbox version is just one game for all Xbox platforms so Xbox One owners who are going to buy a Series X can buy the game without worrying about a ripoff re-release situation. It’s telling that this same promise is NOT being made for the Playstation 4 version.
They are probably gonna try to make what Rockstar did with GTA V…hell, even GTA V is getting a “next gen” rerelease.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be bundled with new consoles. They have marketing deal with MS so it will be bundle with Xbox Series X. Just like released limited edition of Xbox One X or Cyberpunk 2077 gamepad for Xbox and PC. This game will be bundled with millions of new boxes

Sad because I really want to play it but It’s fine. Make the game as perfect as possible before launch. Way to many games gets released with lots of bugs nowdays (cough..cough.. Assassins Creed..Wolcen..etc)
Cyberpunk Forever. They should add “always biting more then we can chew” as their corporate slogan.https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/78f5488a5b66dd9bed7d2d2127ef4d4931c62cb89710ec590a0cfb83376ecf84.jpg
Doesn’t matter. At this point with all the delays, make it right. Delay it another 6 months if needed.
8 years of Development hell. Did anyone noticed that:
1- Many CDPR veteran devs (creative directors & game designers) left in small groups, at the same time, together.
2- Ex-Bioware / “Digital Scapes” developers from Andromeda have joined in.
3- CEO Marcin Iwinski “The Rockstar model is nice” aka “Games as a Service instead of product” policy (multiplayer microtransaction)…
4- It is not lucrative for a company to try to satisfy everyone ie: Virtue Signals (Organisations are NOT at their best when virtue signalling, but when seeking out the best possible talent.) & Pandering to fans (lose money + development time on quests & optimisation from experimenting).
5- “Former CDPR Dev Compares Cyberpunk 2077 Development to Anthem’s” said co-founder Marcin Iwinski…
6- They almost tried to sell the company back in 2015-2016.
7- CDPR is plagued by supremacist ideologies like Radical Marxism, Feminism (misandrous one), and Cosmopolitan Multiculturalism: The Delay is also due to CDPR also looking for “more diverse devs” to help out with the upcoming sci-fi RPG for PC, PS4, and Xbox One (as seen in Gamescom 2019).
Matter of PROOF:
2019: Kyle Rowley (Gameplay Designer) leaves CDPR; rejoins Remedy Games back in Finland.
2019: “Sebastian Stepien, co-writer and story designer for the Witcher series and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, left CD Projekt RED.”
Sebastian Stepien (worked on dialogs and story in all installments of The Witcher series. In recent years, he was one of the key figures in the team developing Cyberpunk 2077).
Interview from GAMESCOM 2019:
After stating they focused their time on a multitude of things that they want to add (hypothetical features)… and on wanting to make virtue signalling towards a small population who criticized them with arguments like “there are not enough people of color in their development team”; “There are only 2 genres in the video game”; etc…
LESSON: It is not lucrative for a company to try to satisfy everyone.
They lose money + development time for quests and optimization
Organizations are at their best NOT when virtue signalling, but when seeking out the best possible talent. Think how ridiculous it would be if a professional basketball team announced quotas for White and Asian players.
“- Ex-Bioware / “Digital Scapes” developers from Andromeda have joined in.”
proof?
” CDPR is plagued by supremacist ideologies like Radical Marxism, Feminism (misandrous one),”
proof?
Waow, aren’t you my personal stalker… following me across the websites forums. Here’s your proofs Mr SKEPTICAL:
Furthermore, the fact that CDPR had contracted Mass Effect: Andromeda developers, is quite worrisome to say the least. Let’s hope it will be the last of the somewhat competent individuals, that was expulsed/rescued instead of a bunch of SJWs.

About Government Grants (in this case, it was for technological development, but there are also Grants according to fulfilling political agenda prerequisites: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2016-12-19-cd-projekt-red-techland-receive-grants-from-polish-governments-usd27-4m-research-fund
” CDPR is plagued by supremacist ideologies like Radical Marxism, Feminism (misandrous one),” Haven’t you looked at the latest NEWS & the changes made in both Identity Politics added as a feature in Character development (not 2 Genders anymore)? Or even the fact that they announced in E3 2019 they were being more “INCLUSIVE” while seeking for more “DIVERSE” Developers to finish the project… every bit of news in the last 6 months have been focused on those Virtue Signal keywords.
i dont follow you around dude first time i saw you, maybe its someone else, that being said, none of those proves the claims.
Now i remember where from, OneAngryGamer
i am still there

Ahem: Identity Politics is Ideology, enforced through Force, Shame & Legislation. It doesn’t considers Scientific facts of biology as a reality. It’s fully biased & reminds of darker times in History (persecutions, witch hunts via emotional reactions, slandering, manipulation of perception of reality via
NewSpeak: with terms that don’t exist outside that ideological framework, Mob Lynching practices)… https://us-browse.startpage.com/av/anon-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2FjCOXkoQ.png&sp=1592597239T399403d4d97b7c0646c6a8272a900b6423f2d15f230b83924554dc18587f9d23
“Cyberpunk 2077 Will Let You Customise Your Genitals”. In what way do you consider this a great advance in gameplay & storytelling? In what way does including Transgender Options in Character Creation for Cyberpunk 2077 helps the overall game experience?

funny how the 5 comments i added were all deleted… I can still resend, also got screenshot proof of shadowban. Have a modicum of Transparency.
downgrade
So AC Valhalla will have to face this on launch!
