Kotaku : Once upon a time, Shigeru Miyamoto famously said, “A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.” It’s a statement that felt like it would never fall out of fashion, until it did. Modern games are never finished. Bad games become good. Good games become bad. Games of all stripes add social components, microtransactions, and events. On this week’s episode of the Splitscreen podcast, we talk about live service games, how they’ve taken over the industry, and how their dominance might finally be receding—a little bit.
Cyberpunk 2077 was launched in a sorry state on PC and consoles in the 2020 holiday season. Since then, CD Projekt Red has worked hard to optimize the game for various hardware, including the Ryzen 8000 APUs, and the Steam Deck handheld.
Cyberpunk 2077's lead quest designer tells DualShockers exactly why there's no NG+.
"It’s incredibly difficult to figure out a way where New Game Plus could be done in a way that doesn’t completely break the way the game is constructed,"
Yet in 2020 i had this mode via a mod they are actually saying that your powers can screw up v's infection for those unaware pre the big update so it might not be a thing anymore but if you maxed out v with save editor your character would get sick see johnny all that but still would be in the first part.
Here is a very old vid of mine you can see how it can screw up the game

So they could do it if they did not spend years making a mess of everything then last minute toss a game out half done.
Embody's Immerse Gamepack Cyberpunk 2077, created in collaboration with the CD PROJEKT RED sound team, is set to take audio immersion to a whole new level! Get ready to dive deeper into Night City's soundscape than ever before.
Huh? Comeback from... what? Single Player games never stopped being dominant. Not sure what this "article" is on about.
Lame Kotaku Clickbait
Even Wolfgang K. thinks this is something lame.
kotaku in the need of clicks. :D
Seriously SP games never left , and some of reasons why Playstation consoles are always on top in this gaming industry. ;)
Where did they go? I’m playing one right now.
This would be true.... if they ever went anywhere. Sounds like Phil Spencer circa 2017?
PlayStation has been dominating the gaming landscape for at least the past eight years largely due to SP games.
Take a look at the last eight consensus Game of the Year winners. FIVE of them are published by Sony, 5/8. That's an unprecedented run, and all of them were noted for their SP campaigns. More than half did not even feature mp at all and in the 2 of 3 years they did not win, they released seminal SP games like Bloodborne and HZD. Ofc Bloodborne has splashes of pve and pvp but it's largely a SP style game. And the other winners included SP titles such as Witcher 3, Zelda BotW, and Mordor.
