Windows Central: Cyberpunk 2077 absolutely blew us away — here's why

Windows Central: We saw Cyberpunk 2077 at Gamescom 2018, and if the company nails everything we were shown, it's pretty clear it'll raise the standard for the entire medium.

Oh great another one of these “CyberPunk is so amazing” articles...

Getting tired of reading it and not seeing it.

DarkVoyager2093d ago

Exactly. If this game looks so amazing why didn’t they just show it to the public?

roadkillers2093d ago

:) Smart developers.. Marketing-wise anyways. Just like Rockstar did with GTA4, they let the hype push the articles until the hype dies or gets stagnant. It is a form of free publicity. They always say any publicity is good publicity.. as a fan of Dues Ex, I am pretty HYPED!

-Foxtrot2093d ago

I know what you mean. How can you have so many of these articles and CD Projekt Red showing so many people behind closed doors yet they won't show us anything.

If it's so "amazing" then you'd want us to watch it ourselves...and I don't mean well put together trailer I mean actual gameplay.

I wouldn't say flop but these journalists are overhyping it like they have with so many games so when we finally do play it, despite being good it won't be as good as the "image" websites have built up in our minds.

HeyNavi2093d ago

I think it might be a strategy being implemented by CD Projekt Red to build up hype. If so, mission accomplished.

sampsonon2093d ago

it's turning me off of the game to tell the truth.

annoyedgamer2093d ago

Its making me mad at a company that once appeared to uphold a standard.

goldwyncq2093d ago

If so, then it's having the opposite effect. I'm not nearly as hyped for the game now as I once was. Seriously, nobody wants their first impression of the gamepay to be from reading articles. Imagine if they did that with the God of War reveal two years ago.

sampsonon2093d ago

we should boycott, not joking ether.

xenz2093d ago

Boycott for what exactly?

Imalwaysright2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

xenz

Because according to various publications, it was the best game at E3 and that pissed some people off.

Strafe2093d ago

@sampsonon

Wow, you really are a pathetic little individual.

sampsonon2093d ago

"Boycott for what exactly?"

their arrogance.

starchild2093d ago

In some cases people are just really anxious to see it because they're really looking forward to it, but for other people like you there's actually a different motivation. You hate that it's getting so much positive feedback and you want them to release gameplay footage so you can downplay it and nitpick it. You can't really tear it apart without having actually seen it and that annoys the hell out of people like you. That's why you're in nearly every article about the game and being extremely negative about it.

sampsonon2093d ago

@starchild: "In some cases people are just really anxious to see it because they're really looking forward to it, but for other people like you there's actually a different motivation"

actually i want it to be as good as they're saying, but I'm frustrated that a game that was announced in 2012 has yet to be shown to the public. all we hear is "it's amazing" how "blown away i am" blah blah blah!!

a game shouldn't be mentioned in the "game of e3" category when it wasn't shown to the public because t is an insult to other devs that showed game play of their games.
I'm tired of CDPR getting a pass when every other company would be called out for their arrogance in that teasing the general public with half a$$ articles by writers that seem to be gloating about being one of a few to actually see the game behind a curtain.

sorry, but i think that stinks and it s a practice that shouldn't be followed by other devs.

looking forward to it? well yes! dicck move by CDPR? Big TIME.

Imalwaysright2093d ago

Hah I knew it.

"a game shouldn't be mentioned in the "game of e3" category when it wasn't shown to the public"

The game was at E3 and they saw it. Saying that other game was better when they thought it wasn't would be a disservice to their readers. It would be lying to their readers.

Also I got to say that you, sampsonon, are the one that is being arrogant. You seem to think that you have the right to watch gameplay footage of Cyberpunk. You don't. You'll watch it when CDPR wants you to just like you'll watch or watched gameplay footage of any game when its respective dev wants or wanted you to see it.

sampsonon2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

@Imalwaysright:

"You seem to think that you have the right to watch gameplay footage of Cyberpunk. You don't. You'll watch it when CDPR wants you to just like you'll watch or watched gameplay footage of any game when its respective dev wants or wanted you to see it."

that's a good boy.

no, a game doesn't deserve to get best game of e3 when the game play wasn't shown.

kinda like a movie winning an Oscar when only the critics have seen it.

you want to suck their buts be my guessed, but i think that the consumer matters more than a few devs and some ball licking game journalist.
I'm not the only one that's getting tired of seeing all these media people gushing over a game that may or may not be as good as they say.

stop being a fan boy and clear the sleep from your eyes.

you're right, they owe me nothing. but the amount of people I'm starting to see saying they are sick of hearing about it second hand is growing and when the people go against them they better watch it because other companies have had the masses go against them and they've never fully recovered from it.

but hey, i don't think you can even understand because it's CDPR and they are your god.

Imalwaysright2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

Don't be a hypocrite. If the consumer matters, than the people that saw the game shouldn't lie to their consumers and it's not their fault that CDPR doesn't want you to see their game until they're ready to show it.

Yes, it does deserve the award because they were there and saw it. It's not your award to give. It's theirs and since they saw the game and felt it was the best game at E3, then the game deserves to be considered the best. They don't have an obligation to other studios as you seem to think... what am I saying? Let's cut the crap shall we? They don't have an to obligation Naughty Dog as you would like them to have. They have an obligation to their readers. Their consumers. Again, don't be a hypocrite.

Calling me a fanboy for what? You'll only see Ferrari's next car when Ferrari wants you to. You'll only see the PS5 when Sony wants you to. If you ever create something, other people will only see it when you want them to. That's how things are in the real world. Coming to the internet throwing a tantrum won't change anything. Grow up.

People don't want to read, journalists praising the game? Don't read their articles. Problem solved.

DafunkyRebel2093d ago

stupid move on their part, cause the more people DON'T see the game the more they lose interest in it. I don't care how awesome someone tells you it is, I want to be convinced with my own eyes, it's part of human nature to confirm with sight. Most gamers don't really care about CDproject Red affiliation with Witcher 3 so by not showing gameplay they are going to shoot themselves in the foot

I wish I could be blown away by it, but you know how that goes.

Honestly though, I am getting sick of thse kinds of articles. Yeah its great to hear impressions, but I do not see why they still yet shown anything to the public.

Jon615862093d ago

I'm curious if the CD project red is just paying people to say it is amazing to build up hype

Imalwaysright2093d ago (Edited 2093d ago )

That doesn't sound at all like something that CDPR would do and I say this not because of what they say but because of their actions since they entered the industry.

JaXion52093d ago

These articles are becoming redundant now...

staticall2093d ago

Kind of tired from this "Oh it's so amazing" articles. Overhyping is bad for any game.

As a customer, i still don't know how the game looks/feels, yet a lot of random game journalists are constantly repeating how amazing it is, it "builds" unreachable expectations (maybe just for me). And especially when same game journalists tell us how new Fifa or Call of Duty is so much better that a previous version and rate it 9/10.

Cyberpunk 2077 Director On 95% Positive Steam Rating: "Never Thought I'd See It"

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.

DustMan4d ago

I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.

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.

Vits16d ago (Edited 16d 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.

darthv7216d 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.

Kaii16d ago

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

anast16d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM16d 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.

gunnerforlife15d ago

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.

S2Killinit15d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife15d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

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

just_looken28d ago

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.

GhostMirror28d ago

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.

EazyC28d ago

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

just_looken28d ago

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

Profchaos28d ago (Edited 28d 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.
