On Cyberpunk 2077’s Discord channel, CD Projekt RED confirmed that the public E3 2019 demo presentation won’t be streamed or uploaded online. While every E3 attendee will be able to see the presentation, CDPR stated that recordings won’t be allowed.
Going into more details, CD Projekt RED will have two different showings; one will be behind closed doors for the media and the other one will be for all E3 attendees.
Both of these showings are going to be held inside a theatre and people will not be allowed to record any gameplay footage (even for the public demo), and no gameplay footage from that public showing will be streamed or uploaded to the Internet.
This basically means that those who will not attend E3 2019 will most likely get new details, screenshots and a new cinematic or gameplay trailer for this highly anticipated title (we may also see a demo presentation at Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference).
Our guess is that CD Projekt RED may pull another “E3/Gamescom 2018” and may release the public E3 2019 demo presentation in August at Gamescom 2019. This is a mere guess, however – and given the company’s history – it sounds possible.
I’m certain that this news will disappoint a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 fans, however CD Projekt RED has stated that E3 2019 will be huge for the company, so let’s wait and see what the company has in store for us!

Good marketing. Making people thirsty for even a glimpse of the game.
Stupid move you have hidden cameras in pens, glasses, buttons,… So you can 100% expect to see recordings from that.
Yeah, this is looking like a classic case of “we F’d up the development on this one.”
Nah, just a case of E3 desperately wanting to sell tickets
good luck with that
I dont understand why hide it ? Jezus what the hell
Lol?
Is this madness?
If they showed the previous demo, that was supposed to be showed only to the medias, i think they will show us this too… but saying this thing is pure masochism…
“Both of these showings are going to be held inside a theatre and
people will not be allowed to record any gameplay footage (even for the
public demo), and no gameplay footage from that public showing will be
streamed or uploaded to the Internet.”
thats not a good thing… thats very disturbing of a game thats heavily rumored/hinted at coming out next year and has been in dev for almost 8 years… not to mention what normies and cdjewject fanboys will have you believe of the trailer they released last year, its nothing what was originally promised and looks nothing/follows nothing of the lore of cyberpunk. this company dropped sharply since the witcher 2 (not that w2 was great and was heavily consolised for its 360 release and gimped pc players in advance)….. its like calling this cyberpunk and calling blade runner 2049; blade runner…. sure they share name,some story details but they are both so bastardized and mainstreamed that i cant see the point in nothing more than making it just based on a existing ip so it sells……… gross……… with jews you lose, take a hike k*kes
It hasn’t been in development for almost 8 years, they confirmed development only started in 2015 so 4 years or 4 and a half at the most.
“While the timeline of exactly when the developer began properly working on Cyberpunk 2077 remains unclear, it’s certain CD Projekt Red has been developing this game to some extent since 2012 or earlier. By 2013, a team of around 50 people had started working on Cyberpunk 2077”
6 at a minimum
Uh no. They explicitly said it was in development before TW3 even came out.
They’ll just show it at Gamescom in August just like last time.
E3 heads must be desperate to sell tickets.
Lmao for how long? 5 mins?
People will release videos almost immediately
i wanted to go but now i won’t.
Why?
because they’re holding it hostage and that’s what they want people to do and this being my first time going E3, i won’t do that because of them.
Pathetic.
Hey look he said something that wasn’t stupid.
what’s up with the secrecy ? aren’t they confident in their game ? I’ have low expectations after the demo we have seen, everything looked good except the uninspired gameplay and mechanics…but then again Witcher games had mediocre gameplay and were carried by the story and characters and everything else i guess..
“Uninspired gameplay and mechanics” oh lord, you’re in SPED. That’s awful. I didn’t realized they let you guys use computers.
Your butthurt is showing again.
he’s right, everything about cyberpunk was mediocre just like witcher 3, except witcher 3 had a story that made autists and little boys interested in it. they can’t make a good game and they’re afraid of public reaction.
Uhmm no, “they are not afraid of the public reaction” that’s stupid and you know it. It’s their dumb way of creating buzz by having the media fraught at the mouth and then that will build hype for us. I find that extremely annoying and stupid. But it’s their way of marketing this game. I think it’s a very stupid idea on their part. While everything you said is dead wrong and very haterrific of you, I still think it’s a very bad and annoying way of marketing this game.
“Uhmm no, “they are not afraid of the public reaction” that’s stupid and you know it”
no your statement is absolutely rytarded given that there is solid proof that cdprojektred is way too afraid of public reaction.
1-1 they damage control way too much, when cyberpunk videos were stolen from their studios they released a statement and begged people to not judge the final game based on those leaked pictures and videos.
1-2 they also got scared of people disliking them as a studio when everyone was talking about their lies. so they came out and admitted that they downgraded witcher 3 after lying about it multiple times even after release.
2-1 they released a statement regarding downgrades and they admitted they were afraid of public reaction and that they will never reveal their games early again.
once again you post utter nonsense without knowing what you’re talking about. just because you like trash games doesn’t mean others are wrong.
so CDPR are idiots enough to do it again, why even show up at E3 if you do not intend to show the daamn thing
They are showing up at e3 to show it at e3.
But you show your game at E3 so that you can sell it to people at an event that a majority of the gaming community watches.
Seriously, I don’t think there is any other gaming event that can give creators access to a very large audience in one time, like E3.
So showing it to the guys that just buy tickets..is just weird and dumb and only serves to make people angry for no good reason.
i swear if this game get downgraded like the witcher 3 or heavily modified from last year showing i’m going to pirate it and seed the torrent for a year
Jesus calm down. It will happen with or without you lol. GoG version is non drm.
Go breath.
They are trying to make people thirty for the game.
Geez, I sure hope they don’t make me thirty for the game. I still have about three years before I’m that old.
welcome to the future sonny boy!:)
Jesus, you’re entitled…
You also think healthcare should be free?
So I see CDPR is continuing on the path of having the media/content creators see and hype the game for everyone else. They did the same thing last year and it seems it’s their new tactic in creating buzz. Lord Jesus why o’why? This is the most buzzed game ever, why the extra BS. Their consistent plan is to have the media outlets tell us stories of all this awesomeness and then we will get more excited. Haha, sure… CDPR, is starting to worry me now.
This is far from being the most buzzed game ever and no they didn’t show the gameplay behind closed doors last year because they wanted to create buzz but because they still didn’t have a fully clear direction for the game. That’s been confirmed by the fact that they admitted to having changed the game a lot already compared to the 45+ minute gameplay video they released(which was only released due to a lot of online disappointment during E3).
Lol sad fringe gamers are the funniest. Most buzzed game ever?
No one cares about anything CDPR makes. At the height of CP2077s sales it’s not even going to pass 15 million. So, yea, no – definitely not the most buzzed game ever.
So CDPR basically is showing the middle finger to the majority of gamers by doing that. It’d be best to temper your expectations and brace for disappointment. This way if the game is actually any good you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
From humble beginnings to arrogant success. This Is usually how it goes for people who gain massive success in what seems like overnight. Even its not overnight.
Lol, community on DSOG… Even more whining kids than on n4g. Pathetic. Grow up people. You have no idea how industry and makeing hype works…
It bothers me but not that much (the fact that we wont see gameplay) but if CDPR actually had the game stable and well built , they’d show it to everyone , there must be something going on.
Because it probably is an unpolished POS. It looked like generic garbage in the first place.
ME “i dont care about cyberpunk until they show nighttime footage, this e3 will be trash, lots of mmo looter shooter trash ubisoft titles and the only good thing about it will be seeing more of doom and cyberpunk so no point going”
CD projekt: “Dont worry fam, we wont show you anything unless you attend and cringe to high mountain from all the corporate suits showing you new ways to monetize everything with microtransactions and bs like the power of the cloud and social gaming”
Me: “well fck you too”
Godamn this industry is going to the trash.
What a weird thing to do.
If they are going to show it to the public at E3, then there is no reason to show everyone else
because now they can’t use the same reasoning they use for Closed door demos.
Oh well, my expectations and hype for the game were reduced significantly ever since I saw the 35 minute demo.
So it doesn’t really matter if they show it or not.
Lol this doesn’t say good things about development. Dont trust cdpr just yet.
It will be The Witcher 3 downgrade all over again.
Unlikely, it’s already not looking that next gen
HEY as long as it looks good during nightime with neons and it doesnt run like trash. I have given up in high end graphics, it just doesnt worth the price and the hard drive space.
here we go again
Eh, not that worried. I wouldn’t be buying the game near release anyway. Gotta wait for the enhanced edition, and modders to fix the gameplay.
Seems like they’ve self confirmed that there will be downgrades for the eventual release. You wouldn’t be doing this if you weren’t:
1) Known for pulling a downgrade.
2) Knowing what presenting an obvious downgrade would do.
So they’re basically hiding what’s been changed and that they want a very controlled and “positive” feedback from just the media and some public,m within a controlled environment.
Honestly, that’s just a bad sign. Why not show your confidence, by just showing it of and uploading the footage. You know this is going to become automatically negative, because they aren’t doing what is considered the norm, and when you don’t do the norm, you become suspect.
Itll probably be a similar case as with the last trailer. They show it to the press then make adjustments based on the feedback before they show things off to the public.
Its probably a marketing thing, they want there to be low res “leaks” and people speculating. I dont know if itll pay off for them though. As popular as Witcher 3 was they are not on that level yet where they can just be vague and secretive about everything. The recent Gwent game flop should be proof of that, as a studio they dont have the kinda following where millions just flock to their products.
Prickz
What a low bar. This is a huge red flag, grow some standards. This is going to bomb when it doesn’t run properly. Workers themselves are screaming about the work conditions and the state of the game. It’s frantic. TW3 was a fun, but very buggy action game. With a lot of long winded hand held segments pretending to be role playing. Which you hardly do any of.
Huge red flag.
Bleh
Public demo won’t be shown to the other public. Oh yeah, that makes sense.
There’s no excellence in The Witcher 3, just a bland open world action game where everything you do is just meant to spawn another cut-scene.
Words which all mean absolutely nothing.
Witcher 3 isn’t a good game. End of story.
Overall, through law averages, it has enough decent content in it with all DLCs and game combined, that it’s worth playing. It has some decent story, some decent graphics, good mod support, good soundtrack, good voice acting.
Behind all that is a lot of boring, empty world design and Assassin’s Creed collectible spam that means nothing. Hundreds of treasure chests with merchant fodder. Tons of the exact same monster contracts. A lot of story and dialogue either literally copy pasted from somewhere – like the Pulp Fiction convo in the Bloody Baron’s house – or heavily taken from somewhere else, like the entire fairytale quest area.
All on top of boring, uninspired, barely acceptable combat.
Witcher 3 got “overwhelmingly positive” reviews because there wasn’t anything else out at the time comparable, much less better.
Your poor casual tastes don’t make a game good just because you liked it and millions of other people with bad taste agreed. Can I name a better third person action RPG than Witcher 3? No. But that doesn’t ,make it good either.
Damn Ugh, did CD Projekt Red kidnap one of your family members or something? I’m just trying to figure out where your anathema of The Witcher 3 comes from. To declare axiomatically, Witcher 3 as a bad game and then to fail to marshall forward a game that in your opinion is better, is a manifestation of dogmatism and obstinance on your part. We get it, you hate CD Projekt Red, but you need to try harder with your trolling. We aren’t buying it.
Just a heads up from CD Projekt red to bring an easily to buy online small little spy camera. Not a big deal.
Do they get all the phones from all the people ? How do they not allow to record ? Today theres microcameras so tiny they cant even detect, glasses with record option…..
Dear CDPR, so you expect only those E3 attendees to buy the game then right? In short those handful of people are your target customer?
So,
A) Yes it will.
B) They’re doing this entirely to avoid the backlash they received with Witcher 3 when Witcher 3 came out and was SEVERELY downgraded in visual quality from the E3 builds.
Not to mention they came out and lied afterwards and said “Even PCs wouldn’t have run the E3 version.”
Clowns.
comments just shows how entitled some gamers are. We have no release date no major info about the game even CD PR states that the game will change and the 40 min gameplay does not represent the finished product so they try and limit expectations and yet you all jump on the hate train against them because why? WTH do you want? if they show nothing you get angry, if they show something you hate it if they produce a limited showing means something is wrong…. What did you expect? a new powerful engine that consoles cant run and most computers cant handle reducing the income for CD PR ? remember cysis? what do you space monkeys want ? the second coming of Jezuz if he was a RPG cyberpunk game??
