Honestly, who didn't see it coming?

I dont mind at all, as long as they deliver an amazing game that's all that matters to me.

Looking forward to the game :)

Asuka1426d ago

I feel the same way. Also CDPR has said numerous times they are not afraid to delay their games, so no one should be surprised.

lelo2play1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Nop... they want to release the game at the same time as the new consoles get launched.

Xbox Series X + Cyberpunk 2077 bundle.

b163o11426d ago

Knowing their quality, its expected but more importantly it's understood. Just further proof that I'll be playing this on my PS5...

starchild1426d ago

I'm not hugely surprised, but it does kind of suck. At least it's only a two month delay. I was going to play it on PC regardless, so its timing relative to new console releases didn't ever really affect me.

Marquinho1426d ago

As a huge candidate for GOTY they have all the right to delay it to have it polished enough for launch.

The Witcher 3 was released in 2015 and it keeps selling. They need to live up to the expectations.

I think this will be on Game Pass Day 1. That would be a huge announcement from Microsoft.

JesusBuiltmyHotrod1426d ago

Imagine being this brainwashed by a corporate product, this is sad dude, your first thought is how a mega corp could benefit.

roadkillers1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

^ I would benefit.. I paid $180 for 3 years of Gamepass Ultimate. This game alone would save me $60. Plus, if it is on PC I can play on there.

Gamepass has been great for me so far. No Mans Sky is finally landing. Get to try out The Witcher 3. A big surprise was the addition of Kingdom Hearts 3. I’m very happy with my purchase, I see no downside with this program. PlayStation Now on the other hand doesn’t have its heavy hitters like LoU2 day 1, which means I have to buy it day one :/

sprinterboy1426d ago

Gamers will choose playstation like they always do

Minute Man 7211426d ago

@ sprinterboy

So if people don't play on PS they are not real gamers?

MadLad1426d ago

@sprinter

I love my Pro, but I'm mainly a PC gamer, and will be playing it on that.

Guess I'm not a real gamer, according to your bubble logic.

That will only happen if you hold your breath, 3,2,1 GO!

neutralgamer19921425d ago (Edited 1425d ago )

logic

ZERO CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING

CDPR will make billions from sales why would they limit their potential earnings. Unless MS will pay CDPR $60 for each gamer who plays using gamepass. This game is too big and will sell 15-20 million

AmUnRa1425d ago

Naah dont believe that. Only games made by Microsoft game studios are on gamepass on day one. Third party? No way😉

Maybe we'll get next gen versions or something

I mean the same month next gen consoles will probably come out...that's a toughie

ColdSin1426d ago

Yah, I hope this is true.

spicelicka1426d ago

Highly doubt that. If they were working on a next gen version both Sony and MS would have been drooling at the chance to show it off. They're clearly stating it's because it's "not ready". I'm sure the next gen version won't be worked till next year.

crazyCoconuts1426d ago

That would relieve some pressure for both consoles to have more to sell the new systems.

dumahim1426d ago

I'd love to switch my collector's edition to PS5 version. Even if it delays the game a couple months.

I'm gonna play it straight on my ps5 then.

darthv721426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Looks like we have a release date (window) for the Series X. Curious if MS will stick to the 22nd like they did for the 360 and XBO or go with the 15th like they did the og Xbox?

SyntheticForm1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Agreed.

I'll be playing it on PS5 for sure now, which I planned on doing anyway.

UltraNova1426d ago

Same here. This delay made waiting that much easier for me.

gamer78041426d ago

honestly i wanted to play this on a next generation console, so now that decision is made for me.

Rambokind1426d ago

You will be crying in November, probably for more reasons than one.

C-H-E-F1426d ago

Agreed plus hopefully it launches alongside the next gen at launch.

savedsynner1426d ago

Agreed. CDPR has more than earned enough respect to delay this until it's ready. They are the anti Blizzard.

badz1491426d ago

I would want to put money on this that MS is behind this delay. they know they will be far outsold if the game still releases on PS4 and Xbone (PC too, of course) as planned, so now they paid money to keep it of until the release of the SX to level the playing ground again. we know they have exclusive marketing rights for this game. 2 onths has nothing to do with development anymore, that much is pretty certain.

neutralgamer19921425d ago

i am fine with this delay since i wanted the next gen version anyway or atleast the ability ti play on ps5(sony has mandated all ps4 games that launch after july have to be ps5 compatible, i am sure ms/xbox will do the same)

i just find it ironic that just few months ago CDPR were talking like there is zero chance of another delay and they have prepared and now another delay(once again not bothered by it but i feel like some developers talk from both sides of their mouths and gamers don't call them out while other developers wouldn't get the same benefit of the doubt)

Fantastic news! This implies that the next-gen versions will launch THIS year. Who in their right mind wanted to play this on current-gen consoles?

BigBosss1426d ago

As harsh as this may sound buts its the Gods honest truth, I know I wouldn't want too. Hence why I'll definitely get the PS5 version

wwinterj1426d ago

Those millions with only current gen consoles perhaps?

sprinterboy1426d ago

It was never gonna play great on base ps4 and xbox one s anyway. 90% of us have base models and CP was never gonna look like what we'd seen on trailers and gameplay on base models.

RpgSama1426d ago

We don't always see eye to eye, but I definitely agree with you on this one, releasing November 19th probably means they will have the next-gen update ready to go day one, and I will honestly wait to play it on my next-gen console, only for the reduced to no loading alone it's going to be worth the wait for me.

nismo3701426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Optimisation problems.
CDPROJEKTRED are well known for that, remember Witcher? It was a disaster at launch, running like ....
Nothing to do with next gen ready. Next gen patch probably next year.
An interview from NowakowskI saying that the next gen versions wouldn't be ready until next year.

REDGUM1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

@RpgSama as much as I'd like to see/play a next gen version of this game at launch I highly doubt it'll be ready in time.
The reasons i say this are...
Its taken years to develop this game, from what ive seen rightfully so too, but to add a PATCH to boost performance overall on a game this big will take months I imagine. Although CDPR don't seem like the devs to milk us gamers for our hard earned cash, i do believe that ironing out the curent gen systems with bugs , glitches etc upon and post release date which is highly expected with a game of this magnitude, will be the main focus here.
Secondly, i dont think that optimizing a game of this or any size is just a matter of 2 clicks and "ya done" this will need to be a dedicated task i think.
Thirdly, in relation to point 2, if it was an easy job to produce a fully fledged ps5 version of a game, why are we waiting so long for the GTA upgrade in 2021 instead of on ps5 release day.

Things will take longer, but ultimately worth the wait to get better versions of our beloved games.

On a side note also, I'm pretty sure that CDPR said there wouldn't be any loading screens in the game anyway hence the enormously big task of the game as it is.

After all that said though, i hope you are right and I'm shamefully wrong so i can play it on ps5 as well day one.

Happy gaming 👍

NeoGamer2321426d ago

Sorry, I read their post, I don't see it saying they are going to deliver the next gen experience at the same time?

Or did I read that wrong?

starchild1426d ago

The Witcher 3? It wasn't even close to a disaster at launch. I played it on PC from day 1 and had no problems.

Bobertt1426d ago

No it won't i believe they said the Next gen versions won't be available at the console launches already. Plus seeing as they haven't announced a date for the next gen i believe they are holding off on releasing it so they will sell more on the PS4 and XB1 since people won't know if it will be 3 months or a year for the next gen version.

Profchaos1426d ago

No they have stated that next gen versions won't be out until later next year

Marquinho1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Don't think so to be honest. CD Project was very specfic when saying next-gen versions would release later.

However... you WILL be able to play it on Series X, with enhanced visuals due to BC (before the next-gen patch lands) and yes... that could become a selling point for Microsoft.

And good thing too. What a masterpiece of a game.

TGGJustin1426d ago

Not surprised one bit. I also don't really care b/c I had no interest in playing this on a current gen system. I'd rather wait and play it on next gen where it will run better.

BigBosss1426d ago

I mean, it won't run bad on current gens I mean look how good and well TLOU2 plays on PS4.

TGGJustin1426d ago

That's an exclusive built for one system. It also doesn't have a massive city with tons of things going on. You can't really compare them.

iplay1up21426d ago

TLOU is not an open world game. It is linear, and that makes a big difference. Open world is more demanding.

wwinterj1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

You could be in for a long wait. Thing is I know a Game of the Year version will make it's way onto PS5 once all the DLC for cyberpunk is out. This will be when I will upgrade to the PS5 version. Until then though I'll be more than happy to play the PS4 version. Let's be honest if I was concerned about performance I'd be gaming and buying this on the PC.

neutralgamer19921425d ago

sony has mandated all games launching on ps4 starting july will have to be ps5 compatible

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7211d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii11d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

INMATEofARKHAM10d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
