It Is Very Clear ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Has A Long Term ‘GTA Online’ Plan

The long term endgame plan of Cyberpunk 2077 becoming a revenue generator for CDPR like GTA Online seems clear.

I could see them pulling the trigger on this. But after all the bad press would anybody bite?

[phoenixwing]

online gamers would line up if the gameplay loop was good. I personally don't play online games so I don't plan on buying it or spending any cash in their store.

[Sunny_D]

The game sold millions and will continue to sell. Especially for the PC crowd.

[telgou]

Wait a few months and everything will go back to normal.

All of this is just assumption. Literally an entire article saying "GTA has guns and cars and activities; so does this ...... therefore this is going to be GTA online".

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

In articles from weeks ago, it was said that the online component is "considered an individual AAA product rather than just a mode" (this quote says it all) and "2021 appears unlikely". They're obviously planning something similar considering the scale of the project. GTA Online helped GTA5 remain relevant for 7 years (very high engagement) and sell more than 100m copies. It's just common sense. GTA Online doesn't have a real direct competitor

[MadLad]

My point being the writer never brings any of that up in the article.
If you read it, it's literally them saying "There's guns, cars, and activities, so obviously their online component is just going to be GTA online again".

Just shoddy journalism.

[OhReginald]

I don't want to hear anything about multiplayer until they fix the damn single player.

[neutralgamer1992]

Exactly and before people come in saying game has no issues and they have super rigs

[MadLad]

I ran the game at a locked 36 fps, 1080p, with a 6 year old 970, a 9 year old i5, and 16 gigs of ddr3 at medium settings.
That's literally an old gaming rig I now use as an office PC.

It may take a high end PC to run it at 1440p +, with all the settings cranked, but it doesn't take anything insane to get the game running decently.

[RgR]

I know 2 other people with similar setups as @tedcruz mentions below.

My own pc which I don't have the space to use for gaming anymore is very similar as well. So I know I could run to the game at 1080p settings and have a decent experience.

Nobody is saying there are no bugs though. It's just not as bad for everyone. And if you play carefully and smart, knowing there are bugs, then you should be fine....especially if you have an SSD. Then itsna cakewalk to just save and reload quick.

[got_dam]

Agreed. I love the game. My game of the last few years. But im not deluded enough to say they didn't royally fuck the release and their goodwill. Im lucky enough to have a stable experience, but that is only because I have a strong pc. Console players, and pc players less powerful hardware, got totally screwed. I really, really feel sorry for the dev team. They get to eat a juicy shit sandwhich because of the piss poor decisions made by their management. Too bad because you can really see the love poured into the game.

For gamers paying full price they shouldn't have to be careful to enjoy the game and not run into bugs. I am not blaming the developers because they did the best they could but the high ups knew the issue and they released it anyway. They probably thought we are CDPR and gamers won't be that mad

And sadly many are defending CDPR but the same gamers if given the opportunity would bash the living crap out if other big publishers

[esherwood]

I’m playing on Xbox one and it’s best game I played this year, u people are just mad it didn’t live up to some unreal expectation you built up

[anubusgold]

I only have a 1080 and a 3700x you can build that for cheap these days. I get 40 fps on high at 1440P people with 1080P monitors may get close to 60.

[anubusgold]

To prove these console people wrong i want to download it on my laptop and see if i can get 30+ fps locked since it has a 1660ti in it.

[esherwood]

Oh shut up people like you are going to be bitching no matter what. Hopefully they realize that and ain’t wasting there time

[anubusgold]

Play it on pc if you have a 1000 series or higher card its good for 40 fps medium settings at 1440P.

[MadLad]

No no no.
This doesn't run well on consoles, so you obviously have to take out a loan to get a PC that makes it run decently.

[anubusgold]

@TheRealTedCruz A 1000 series card is like what 200 bucks and a 200 dollar six core cpu and you can get those in a motherboard bundle because cyberpunk does not use 8 cores.

[MadLad]

I have a 2060 super and i7 build, but I got this running decently on a 970 with a 9 year old i5 and 16 gigs of ddr3 as an experiment.
1080p, 36 fps, and mostly medium settings.

The people acting like it takes a super computer for a decent experience have no idea what they're talking about.

[RgR]

Absolutely nothing about the game or current events point in that direction.

Also notjing the developers previous history points in that direction either.

Oh..forbes.com

Right

[Aussiesummer]

Nothing about the developers previous history pointed to cyberpunk being an absolute clusterfuck either.

[RgR]

Maybe if you didn't play theur gsmes before.

Witcher 1 had issues and witcher 2 had issues. They released buggy and with performance issues. Granted they primarily focused on pc.

That focus is evident with cyberpunk as well. They shoulda just dropped last gen consoles.

[franwex]

If they can get their act together, it would make a really special online experience for sure.

[antikbaka]

A ROOOOOAAAAAD MAAAAAAP

[Knightofelemia]

Fix the solo campaign first before you go with online the second update has made things worse. The game sputters randomly pauses looks like it's frozen worse then how it preformed on launch. Christ I ran into a glitch trying to climb a ladder climbed the same ladder three times. If you can't get the solo campaign fixed I would hate to see what this mess is like online.

[porkChop]

The multiplayer is an entirely separate game. It's not part of Cyberpunk 2077, nor does it require 2077 in order to play. CDPR has been clear about this from the start. The multiplayer title is just another game set in the Cyberpunk universe. Think of Titanfall and Apex Legends.

[Vx_]

More like a long term “fixing the single player” plan

[DaveZero]

If that's the case I'm certainly staying clear if it's one thing that put me off of GTA's last game was how people would pay for seriously powerful crap and you would be left feeling like you have the power of a flea.

[esherwood]

I hope so, it’s an awesome world they created hopefully they continue to use it. I always felt like these huge open world games the initial games always took the most work then the successor ones they’re able to build on the assets.

[Lostbytes]

Would pass on that style of MP. The GTA Online model holds no interest for myself and may others. Not to say it does not do well though.

[MadLad]

It's not my cup of tea either, but let's not pretend GTA online hasn't been highly popular. They made a fortune off of it.
