iGR: "Thus far we’ve heard precious little information about CD Projekt RED‘s Cyberpunk 2077. The mostly still-framed teaser trailer gave us a good look at the militarized, dystopian universe in which the events of Cyberpunk 2077 will unfold. It wasn’t easily discernible what genre the title would inherit, or even more so, what kind of gameplay we were to expect. With that in mind I wanted to get a bit of information about the project from developer CD Projekt RED."
CD Projekt has concluded support work on Cyberpunk 2077, as the studio has turned focus towards the next Witcher and several other projects.
I really have to get back into it, didn’t even get half way through, have the dlc and everything too.
The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.
They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.
The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.
This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.
The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.
New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"
Didn't know that, disgusting, so i'm going from day 1 purchase to wait and see until i know how bad this gets.
I'll say that cyberpunk 2077 is a great game. Witcher 1 is my favourite game in the series with the 3rd being my least favourite.
We'll see how the new team does.

Never buy day1 regardless of studio
Uggh thanks for pointing out. Didn't realize they sold out to the esg crowd. Too bad, I thought they were one of the few untouched "gamer" developer. Poland was one of the last non-woke countries left but appears they too have caved to the ESG money.
It’s common for people to shit on games before they come out. We haven’t even seen anything of Witcher 4. It could be great it could be mediocre etc. I’m not going to prejudge just because the company has interests in other areas. I only care if the Witcher 4 is good or not.
True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.
I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3
I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.
I loved it despite the combat so if they can get that right it'll be an incredible game. The other thing I wasn't fond of was being deluged with loot, quality over quantity for me.
Can someone tell me what they didn’t like about the combat? Was it the pace or something? Because I didn’t have any problem with the combat once I realized it wasn’t a button mashing type of combat…
I honestly like to know.
Weightless, floaty, without impact and generally unsatisfying.
Also on the hardest difficulty you could literally get one shotted by a dwarf with a wooden club despite max gear so there was a hell of a lot of dodging and rolling, as in almost constantly, which didn't add to the fun.
@Nacho: I haven’t played on the hardest difficulty truth be told so I can’t comment on that part.
My build however was a dual wield/aard sign build; knock back enemies and hit them hard + ranged got deflected. I did dodge and roll a lot anyway with this build so it didn’t really bother me, so yeah, fun for me, not for you I guess.
Thx for sharing your thoughts tho.
I would say that, for me, it was the silly cutscenes in the middle of boss fights that didn't match the fight itself.
Example: I mastered the combat early. In one boss fight, I was untouched, flawless. Then a cutscene shows me barely beating the boss toe to toe.
Ciri vs 3 witches. I took down the one from the cutscene first. She's dead. I blink away. Fight, defeat the other two. And blink to the entrance before the cutscene triggered. Suddenly, I'm in the middle of everything with a crone who has long since been defeated and, instead of blinking away, Ciri becomes the dumbest character ever, and stoops to let the very precious token dangle in front of the crone.
Both of those are narrative breaking.
It’s the best of the series. Of course it could improve but at least it’s not Elder Scrolls combat which hasn’t changed since ever.
Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.
They have actually declined from all the systems they had in Morrowind. Acrobatics Athletics is gone. Spells are simpler. Combat hasn’t changed at all. They added a strip of sprint button and you only have enough stamina to run for 10 seconds but you can kill dragons and powerful beings. I could go on but yeah they are stuck in reverse
That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back

It was such a flop they removed the videos and removed the link to that article but its still on there servers.
Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.
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.
I cannot wait for this game! So pumped! The Witcher(s)? Great! But I'm ready for another good sci-fi RPG! Mass Effect was one of the best things to happen to the 7th generation, so let's hope that we get more sci-fi RPGs in the 8th. :)
I feel like this game is soooooo far away :(
It's said to be out in the late 2015 "at the earliest", so I'd expect it sometime at the end of 2016. Far away, but I guess it'll be worth the wait.
I really loved The Witcher 2, the guys and gals at CD Projekt RED is extremely talented.
Can't wait to hear more info on Cyberpunk 2077.
I can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077 . I hope it's not a first person shooter rpg. Hopefully it's 3d person like wicher 3
