DSOGaming writes: "CD PRojekt RED has released some new details (and technical information) about the third version of its REDengine. As said, the REDengine 3 is the third iteration of CD Projekt RED’s in-house technology. It is created for RPGs set in vast open-worlds with improved tools for spanning truly nonlinear stories that are based on real player choices and consequences."
During CD Projekt’s Fiscal Year 2023 earnings call, CEO Michael Nowakowski said that the company is keen on licensing its IP rights to third-party developers to create mobile adaptations of its titles.
CD Projekt, the developer behind The Witcher/Cyberpunk 2077, has stated that there is no place for microtransactions in single-player games.
MP games need micros to keep the lights on. Path of Exile is a good game with micros. It can be done as long is the game is not the scheme itself.
You end up paying more than $70 in micros for a game specifically designed around them and that’s not a “scheme” by design?
I’ve played plenty of great MP games that didn’t have micros. I love how at one point we were like micros bad, GaaS bad, and now we’re like, well GaaS is MP so it’s ok.
Path is a free game. How else are they supposed to keep the servers on? You don't need up spending more . I've been playing the game since the beginning and I've spent less than $20.
Destiny on the other hand....
An MP game embedded in a SP game shouldn't have them.
I know you understand this. I have to be optimistic here.

I’d argue “free to play” are more egregious than just a traditional pay to play game. You end up spending far more on a game than just $70 and I think the “free” games are sneaky by design to make a consumer think “well, it’s free, let me dump money into it.” I mean, they’re specifically designed to make you continuously put money into them. I heard with Path of Exile you hit a point where the grind is obnoxious without buying micros.
I agree, I never pay for microtransactions, and in the few cases where I have, I've felt dirty afterwards, especially when older games used to give you so much content for free (like cosmetics).
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt hosted its fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, and provided details about its games and business alongside comments on the use of generative AI and licensing its IPs for mobile games.
Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.
see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.
So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.
I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.
I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.
Not sure what's bad about esg. But you mentioned Sweet Baby Inc. So I'm gonna say you're one of those
Lol you must be very sheltered to not pay attention to what esg is doing to the United States
Esg/blackrock are the behind the scenes companies like the old mgs games were the say our leaders are puppets.

Instead of making a game a game they make it to the esg stranded or how i call it the clipboard effect.
Here is a good fyi video about esg and disney

I honestly think Cyberpunk is one of the best games I’ve played this gen. The immersion is still better than any game I’ve played in the past several years. Really glad this did well, but we all know CDPR better not bull sh*t people with fake trailer and gameplay previews or try to hide a dumpster fire last-gen version of a game.
They made more than 2 game series by the way there pokemon go clone failed and gwent is basically dead so in a way they already have.
And now they are pro esg
( . ) ( . )
That screenshot is probably taken right out of the Witcher 3.
Can't wait for that trailer, 4 more days...
i am sorry but if that screenshot is from current gen then it's beautiful, if it's next gen then it's disappointing..
How can a studio so small do something so impressive? Bioware needs to take notice. Infact the big boys, EA, Activision,Ubi etc need to look at these guys.
guys honestly, i'm not a graphics w**re but i mean come on...
