Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in pre-alpha stage, E3 2018 demo was the most polished build so far

CD Projekt RED’s Adam Kicinski revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in a pre-alpha stage. This was revealed during a new closed show in Warsaw where CD Projekt presented the same demo that was shown at E3 2018.

According to Kicinski, the E3 2018 demo was the most polished part of the game that CD Projekt currently has and its pre-alpha stage is one of the main reasons they’ve decided to showcase the game behind closed doors.

“This is the most polished part of the game we have now, prepared in some sense to show it to people outside the company”

This obviously does not surprise us as most of those who saw Cyberpunk 2077’s E3 demo claimed the very same thing; that while it was mind-blowing, it still had some placeholders here and there and that performance was not really great, though a GTX1080Ti was able to offer 30fps most of the time in – presumably – 4K.

CD Projekt RED has also claimed that the E3 2018 demo was an actual build of the game, something that has become quite obvious by Kicinski’s latest statement.

CD Projekt RED will be present at Gamescom 2018 though, and since the game is in a pre-alpha stage, we are not certain whether the team will showcase its Gamecom 2018 demo to the public or not.

  1. HA, people gave RSI crap for Star Citizen taking this long and now CDPR has basically come out with this piece of info. Massive worlds take years to craft, not CoD/Creed 1-2 years.

      1. it’s more of a meme, but yeah, it’s popular to trash on it and hype up games we haven’t even seen any footage of for years.

      2. TO BE FAIR…. star citizen has shown gameplay footage and has been giving playable bits years now.

          1. No they didn’t. CDPR showed some gameplay just a few weeks back, that no one was allowed to play. That is in no way comparable to CIG having bits and pieces available for anyone to play for several years.

    1. People give RSI crap because they’re charging people potentially thousands of dollars for ships in game, while actively introducing a ton of feature creep that is preventing them from actively working on the base game.

      CDPR is producing a single player game that nobody is willfully giving them money for until there is a finished project. Plus, CDPR also said that Cyberpunk 2077 was nowhere near finished, so there were was no real timeline or suspected release date. RSI misses release milestones all the time. CDPR also had to build a brand new engine for their game, were as RSI developed on two different pre-built engines and still couldn’t manage to hit milestones.

      I’m even a fan of the idea of Star Citizen and I can clearly see the difference in between the company. I payed my 45 dollars for SC, and I’m still waiting on the game to come out. I haven’t dropped a dime on Cyberpunk 2077’s development cycle since I’m not from Poland and don’t pay taxes to their government to fund the development of Cyberpunk.

      If you can’t see the difference between what RSI is doing, and what CDPR are doing then you must be pretty willfully blind in the difference of development cycles.

      1. “People give RSI crap because they’re charging people potentially thousands of dollars for ships in game, while actively introducing a ton of feature creep that is preventing them from actively working on the base game.”

        Yes, because they are totally going to make the finished product paid with only real money, so that only a literal 0.1% can play the game /s.

        See the issue here is that you excuse for what lack of information is presented to you and that is honestly dishonest and deceiving to think that a lack of info is somehow objectively better than being given information in the first place.

        You don’t need to be a fan to say your piece about something. That bears little to not point on what I was trying to discuss, nor does it put you above me in speaking terms either.

        You fund the company via buying their damn game. If no one buys from a business, the business fails. This is how companies work in general. No one buys anything, it ceases to exist.

        You’re pretty blind in the way you damn RSI and excuse CDPR, please do not waste any more of my time if the next reply is designed to dismantle what I just said or adding some low wit retort. Do not even.

  2. “You are full of sh*t, son. And i do not even care about Star Citizen, still smell the sh*t you have on you a mile form here away.”

    Well I guess who I know isn’t worth my time :D.

    Also I never upvoted my own comment if you’d actually taken a gander at who did.

    What’s funny is you acting like a petulant little fanboy child. Go bother someone else, because you won’t be bothering me again.

  3. They should’ve saved time and money and just made a simple battle royale shooter. It’s what all the kids are playing. No one cares about open-world RPGs anymore. All the ones tried in the recent past like Skyrim, Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 were all failures. You don’t see those games in arcades and grandmas aren’t playing them on their flip phones.

    Someone should put me in charge of CDPR and I’ll make them great again with a slate of multiplayer-only battle royale games inundated with the kinds of nickel-and-dime features like loot boxes and microtransactions that mobile gamers have come to know and love.

    1. No chance I’d hire you. You didn’t even mention social media integration. How else will you have players pester their friends to join so you can make money off them?

  4. Great things take time. Kind of sucks that its going to be a few years out, but if it´s amazing, then that is all that will matter in the end.

  5. They should take as long as they need. If you have no patience or discipline, it’s your problem. They don’t owe you anything.
