Cyberpunk 2077's wall running scrapped due to design reasons

If you've followed Cyberpunk 2077's development you've most likely seen the extensive gameplay presentations of the game and in one of the gameplay sessions, namely the 48-minute session from August of 2018, a snippet was shown of a mantis blade-equipped V using the wall running mechanic to prop herself up on a wall above a group of enemies. After having played the game for four hours earlier this week (read our hands-on impressions here), we had a chat with Cyberpunk 2077 level designer Max Pears about the vertical traversal in the game.

That screenshot looks gooood

Hopefully you have a $3,000 top of the line PC so your playthrough will look the same.

Honestly though, with how much The Witcher 3 was downgraded upon release, it probably still won't look this good on a high end machine.

I have an RTX 2060 (not even the Super one, It was the cheapest RTX amidst the exorbitant launch pricing) 😥
If I didn't get a PS4 Pro and an One X, I would've aimed for an RTX 2080(non-Ti, the Ti variant's pricing is straight up bollocks) and a better CPU.
The One X is solely for 4K third party and classic enhanced console exclusive 360 titles. And Gears 5 and Forza. *sigh*

That's fine.

From what I've seen this is another beautiful world by CDPR to get lost in, and it's currently my most anticipated game.

RazzerRedux1415d ago (Edited 1415d ago )

Agree. Honestly didn't even know wall running was ever in there. Looks to be a fantastic game.

King_Noctis1415d ago

I bet that the one of the first mods for this game would be third person camera.

zsquaresoff1415d ago

Desperately needed for those who don't like first-person view.

chrisx1415d ago

Like me. Unfortunately first person view gives me motion sickness no matter how I try to adapt. Really gutted this game is a FPS, it looks cool.

And it will look janky af because guaranteed that it was cut due to how much work it would take to do all the animations, camera work, and more. I feel like CDPR focused on making the world you see look better rather than the character and it's likely due to design issues (game breaking concepts that would make parts of the game pointless or too powerful to not take, such as wall crawling).

-Foxtrot1415d ago

Sometimes I think they’ve bit off more then they can chew with this

TheKingKratos1415d ago

I have to agree with you this time

boing11415d ago

Yeah, sounds like it. Empty streets do not bode well too.

RgR1414d ago

Really depends on the expectations forced upon them.
I've played cdpr titles since the first witcher game. They always made games I enjoyed.
First venture outside of the witcher universe so my expectations are tempered.

Rebel_Scum1415d ago

Wall running is a dumb mechanic anyways

wwinterj1415d ago

I enjoy it. Prince of Persia comes to mind. I also thought it looked neat here. Shame it's gone but who knows maybe it'll be added in the expansions.

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.

DustMan1d 5h 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.

Vits13d ago (Edited 13d 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.

darthv7212d 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.

Kaii13d ago

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

anast12d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM12d 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.

gunnerforlife12d 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.

S2Killinit12d ago

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

gunnerforlife12d 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_looken24d 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.

GhostMirror24d 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.

EazyC25d 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_looken24d ago

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

Profchaos24d ago (Edited 24d 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.
