I don't care.

Shut up about the game.

Don't fucking say a thing about it until its like 6 months from launch.

Did they learn nothing from last time?!

Let's hope they learned how to properly pace development and to handle a launch this time around.

I will put it on my calendar for 2035.

Spicy take: I hope they dump 2077's engine and go Unreal.

I recently followed this guide to try and set up "optimized" path tracing (no raster lighting, with everything raytraced) in 2077, and on my lowly RTX 3090 it runs like cold molasses. Not a chance. Raster + RT reflections is all I can manage, and it looks... good.

Meanwhile, I've also been playing Satisfactory (an Unreal Engine game from a comparatively microscopic studio), and holy moly. Unreal Engine's dynamic lighting looks scary good. Like, I get light bounces and reflections and everything, and it runs at like quadruple the FPS in hilariously complex areas, again, with a fraction of the dev effort.

Cryengine in KCD2 is rather sick as well, though probably less tuned for urban landscapes.

...So why don't they save a few years and many millions, and just go with one of those instead of poorly reinventing the wheel?

Huh, so it's taking place in 2 AD instead of 2077. Weird direction to take.

Nice, only 12 more years to go.

Good. We need more dicks in video games.

Just looking up what 'preproduction' actually means : They are in the planning stages, but they haven't started 'making' the game yet. Cyberpunk (1) development took four years.

Just another 8-10 years before we get to play it guys!

Seriously, though. I don’t know how you one-up the first game. I’ve been replaying it and I’m just constantly in awe at the number of hidden little gems to go explore.

I just found out the text messages you get from Club Riot are for actual events in world and not just flavor text. I haven’t dug into it, but it almost sounded like they had multiple sets of music for the different artists. Just so many little details.

This one won't have Path Tracing, the GPU will absorb light from the atmosphere and project it onto your screen at 15 fps.

Looking forward to playing this in 10 years

And so the endless cycle of the borderline CD projekt games continues. Everything is hyped beyond realistic expectations a decade before launch, the masses whipped in anticipation. The game developers are kneecapped by suits making technical changes and demands they don't understand. The game is launched after sorely felt apologies for delays, as a messy distasteful buggy disaster. Then the devs get to finish the game during thn next five unars after sorely felt apologies for the buggy mess at launch. 5 more years later the game is hailed as a creative masterpiece, despite being held by bubblegum and paperclips under the hood and still being a subpar experience. Then CDPR announces a new game, and the cycle repeats.

We didn't learn anything from "Bethesda's magic". What a mismanaged company.

is it gonna be very broken on launch too?

Maybe about time for me so start the first.

Developed in UE5, I’m assuming? That’d be an unfortunate probability. CP2077 was the best looking game and the most immersive game I’ve ever played

I just got 2077 after however many years. 50 hours, I know the end is like the next mission or two but I don't want it to end. Easily my favorite game ever. Guess I'll get another play through in 5 years before I play the sequel after its released and has a couple years of debugging.

I hate when sequels are prequals! We want 2078!
