Back in August 2019, CD Projekt RED released a 15-minute gameplay video for Cyberpunk 2077. And today, Ani HVX has shared a glorious 8K version of it. This 8K video eliminates most of the video artifacts, and will allow you to appreciate the game’s graphics.
Now keep in mind that this video packs gameplay footage from Cyberpunk 2077’s 2019 build. As such, the final version may look better – or worse – than it. It’s also worth noting that Cyberpunk 2077 will support real-time ray tracing effects. So yeah, the game could look better than this.
In order to create an 8K version of the Deep Dive Gameplay Video, Ani HVX used AI upscaling techniques. Moreover, there is a 16GB uncompressed version of it that you can download from here.
Speaking of Cyberpunk 2077, IGN has confirmed that it will be present at its “Summer of Gaming” event. Therefore, we may get a brand new gameplay footage, alongside some new screenshots.
Cyberpunk 2077 releases on September 17th.
Enjoy!

and still looks blurry
facts
It’s still a youtube video, what do you expect…
yes youtube does compress the videos but still you can find some 4k videos with stunning quality
what scares me the most is downgrade the last gameplay looked like a gt5 graphics a game 7 years old , specialy the city and the caracters in it
Agreed
duh, its on old hardware. ps4 & xbo
We are gonna blame “Youtube compression” to justify a downgrade (at least this time the game already looks dated) again?
Me justifying cyberpunk? rofl, i don’t care at all about that trashcan, i was just saying that youtube compression wouldn’t help, and that’s it.
Nah.i’m just wondering if CDPR is gonna say the same once people starts to complain that the game doesnt look like the previews (specially on people playing on current gen consoles).
The game looks dated, but you could justify that if the world was huge in size and density, but they already said the map would be smaller than in Witcher 3, so i dunno (and we are 2 months away from release)
In my opinion even the initial reveal and the very first footage looked extremely underwhelming. GTA V version of Rockstar’s engine still looks and performs far better, technically speaking. RDR2’s version of the engine is simply jaw-dropping while running smoothly on all platforms. after the fiasco that was TW3 downgrade I don’t have high hopes for this one either. so far with the hidden agendas behind the game’s development, the lack of night footage, the state of the engine and all those delays, it’s been a huge disappointment…., still, I’ll reserve my judgment until it actually releases.
P.S. the secret message in the first CG trailer indicated a 2015 release for Cyberpunk, still cracks me up to this day
Imagine wasting your time to upscale and encode this to only get downgraded visuals in the end…
I don’t know what they expected. How can an “AI” (Pattern matching) do what a human wouldn’t even be able to guess very well.
RTX will save this downgrade.
8k AI upscaled…still looks downgraded/outdated…
CDprojectkred leaves the settings available in ini files. You could just make it look better there most likely
You think is a matter of just settings? the models, the textures…those are set in stone. Add to that, all footage so far was from high end PC’s with raytracing enabled..still looks outdated.
You could at least ask for modding the game..but not a single word was given about that, and after what they did to Witcher 3 and the tools for modding it…im not expecting that possibility, let the people fix your game (again). Ah, this is not Bethesda?
I think you are losing your mind if you think this looks outdated.
And I still remember how they mentioned that the final game will end up looking like the debut cinematic trailer. Always took it with a grain of salt after TW3’s downgrade.

I’ve yet to see a single “ai upscaling” project, that doesn’t look like absolute a**.
I doubt this garbage will be changing my mind. This “ai upscaling” crap, is getting really tired now.
It works (kinda) for way older games as long you don’t overdo it to the point of looking like super sharped mess.
The classic RE 2 and 3 AI upscaling projects are nice, granted they are for the Gamecube emulated versions, but it’s something.

The A.I upscaling of Final Fantasy 9 also looks great. It works well for older games with 2d backrounds.
even if the game does look like that (which is somehow already outdated) I’m certain it will run horribly on all systems no matter how much power you throw at it.
Nah, they already preemptively made it unimpressive to match console’s capability.
even if true, it wouldn’t be entirely illogical, the consoles are where the majority of sales occur. TW3 was fraught with performance issues on the PC. you can only upgrade a PC so much, their engine is an encumbrance on the team and the game’s development, particularly when it comes to optimisation. I hope they have learned their lesson from TW3
TW3 had most sales on PC.
I’m afraid you’re wrong there, first off I didn’t say ps4 or X1, I said consoles:
PS4: ~ 10.8 million.
Xbox One: ~ 4.3 million.
total: ~15 million
Vs.
PC: ~12 million.
secondly, I didn’t say ‘THE’ sales ‘occured’, I said ‘sales occur’ in general. not just for TW3, but for most games.
lastly, their engine’s optimisation issues have nothing to do with their sales figures
#stunningandbrave in 8K just in case any ‘journalists’ missed noticing it already!
nude men in 8k, damn that sounds so hot.
not that i’m gay or anything like that.
hahhaahha

Feels like you’re a gay in denial 😀
All of sudden, visually this game looks quite outdated and bland/flat! Gameplay-wise it might be fun, just a enhanced Deus Ex likely….but again, as I had originally envisioned visually/artistically, is not at all how it looks!
Will have to wait to see what the final build looks like…
why this is FPS instead of TPS when there is a detailed character system. They should have given us the flexibility to choose between any of the 2 modes. Disappointed!!
Console downgrade incoming.
Lol just chill, game is gonna be awesome. GOTY

the ai enhancements made it look worse
It’s scary to see the amount of stupid people who seem to embrace the Matrix and consider that anything made by AI will be automatically better than what humans do.
