Very interesting, well worth the read. There's much more in the report, but the highlights for me:

- Digital Sales at more than 50% of pre-orders
- Review copies being sent out in the next two weeks
- Performance on base consoles is lower
- No date yet on review embargo
- Not talking about Multiplyer until Q1 2021
- Keanu REeves has played the game, and loves it
-There was no negative impact form the gameplay leak

RebelWAC1677d ago

My biggest highlight:

13 days left to go!

notachance1677d ago

this is the first game I preordered since ME3, can't wait

GrizToof1677d ago

The reviewers are getting their copies pretty late it seems. Not exactly sure when this took place im just looking at your comment. Two weeks from now the game will already be out lol, im guessing this was said at least a week ago, otherwise late review copies get me worried, Its a strategy used sometimes when they know their game won't score well. In CDPR's case I'd imagine they would want reviewers to play it with the day 1 patch included.

ArchangelMike1677d ago (Edited 1677d ago )

TBH I thought the same, but as you can see from the transcript the translation is pretty spotty in alot of places. It could have meant "within the next two weeks..." But I did raise an eyebrow when they refused to say when the review embargo will lift. So yeah, they probably haven't sent out review copies yet - which is quite late in the day for a game that can take over 100 hrs to complete. Makes me wonder if they are still bug fixing and patching the game, and want to send the most clean version to reviewers.

Waiting till next generation release to play the final version with all the update/patches because even witcher 3 needed many quality of life patches. And forget about factual reviews because most have bought into the hype so they can't be fair towards this game

wwinterj1677d ago

The PC version will still be better if you want the best version so I'm not sure what you mean by "final version" and it will be current gen updates not next gen. On that note if I wanted the best looking and performing of most games I'd be gaming on the PC. These type of comments from consoles players has always baffled me and yes I have this pre ordered on a console.

Angrymorgan1677d ago

Not every person who wants the best possible graphics and performance can afford a high end pc that matches next gen consoles, ill be waiting for the ps5 version because I want the better console version, I could go and spend a few grand on a pc if I wanted but I don't use my consoles enough as is.

northpaws1677d ago

Blah blah blah.... PC.... Blah blah... PC... PC PC PC.... zzzZzzZzzZzz

Fact: PC gamers can't fall asleep as night unless all console gamers admit that PC is the master race.

GOULDYBOBS1676d ago

I'll be playing this on my PC. But you can get a ps5 for the cost of my GPU

tombfan1676d ago

I would loooove to have "the PC final version" and play it on it's greatest glory, the Truth is that a PS5 costs 500dlls and a PC that could run that game so high is on the $1,500 minimum.

JackBNimble1676d ago

Ya if your pc is Jacked then it might be better but those are few and far between

ArchangelMike1676d ago

The previews seem to be fair in calling out the bugs, and the fact that the combat is a but weak etc. But it's a game that ppl have already made their minds up about, so I really don't think review scores are going affect the popularity of this game, either way.

NeoGamer2321676d ago (Edited 1676d ago )

Ya, I really hate games being scored based on hype vs. actual work and reviews. There are many IPs, Development Studios, and Publishers where as soon as they announce a game it is a 10 in people's minds.

I prefer to rate games based on what I actually see. I have been really tempted to pre-order this one, but have so far managed to wait and see based on reality.

That said, I can't wait for it to release, so that I can assess and decide.

tombfan1676d ago

Doing the same, I'll wait for the next gen true release, I want to play it with true optimized PS5 settings, and patches, I can wait a few more months.

Bnet3431676d ago

All signs point to CyberGOAT 2077! Almost there!

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.3 Update Opens a Pandora's Box the Game Can't Close

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a new update after developers previously stated it no longer would, bringing the possibility of more still to come.

I'm hoping the update fixes their poor FSR 3 implementation, and add FSR 4. FSR 2 looks better than FSR 3 in CP2077 by a wide margin. On my 7900XT I just use XESS if I want to add RT at custom 3K resolutions. Already beat the main game, but half way through Phantom Liberty expansion. I would like to get back to it later on this month.

anast15d ago

I have more hours in this game than any other. I would happily put more into it.

MastaMold14d ago

I second this and a PS5 PRO patch too please.

RhinoGamer8814d ago

I finished it and had a blast, wish there was a new game + option.

Demon-kun10d ago

I wanna be able to dual wield it would add a decent bit I feel hell if they wanted they could even let us dual wield like knives and swords as well or something just sounds like fun to me

Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2: a cutting-edge game translates well to Nintendo's console hybrid

Few games among the Nintendo Switch 2 launch line-up can match Cyberpunk 2077 in putting the system through its paces. It's a staple of our PC benchmarking suite for good reason: the open world design is a solid stressor for any CPU, while its effects-heavy battles challenge GPU resources as well. This Switch 2 release has clearly been a big undertaking for developer CD Projekt Red too, who produced the port in-house with unique optimisations for Switch 2's ARM-based architecture. It's also remarkably the Ultimate Edition of the game, with both the core adventure and the more taxing Phantom Liberty expansion bundled in - an extra portion that proved too demanding to justify a last-gen console release, and was instead restricted to PS5 and Series X/S, and yet here it is running on Switch 2.

To cut to the chase, Switch 2 offers a truly viable way to enjoy Cyberpunk, either in a portable format or docked under a TV. However, CDPR has shot for the stars in its ambition to include Phantom Liberty as well, and it's here that Switch 2 hits some technical limits - with frame-rates struggling as we explore its newer Dog Town region. Still, that aside, there's a lot to admire in the game's engineering for Nintendo's new console overall, and how competitive it is in comparison with other consoles.

I am happy for CDPR. Their hard work paid off because the Switch 2 version are always in the top 5 Switch 2 launch game sales.

jznrpg16d ago

Not much launched with it besides ports so it should be expected I guess.

OMNlPOTENT15d ago

I mean.. what did the PS5 launch with? One exclusive in Demon's Souls?

repsahj15d ago

@Omnipotent
Not just PS5, Series X has zero launch games. XD

DivineHand12516d ago (Edited 16d ago )

This may be one of the weakest launch lineups Nintendo has ever had, with Mario Kart being the only first party game, but Cyberpunk 2077 will definitely give you tremendous value for your money.

One tip I can give people who have never played the game is to first read books from the cyberpunk subgenre. This will allow you to appreciate the story much better. If you find yourself asking which life path is the best to take at the start of the game, in this case it is Corpo, Streetkid, and Nomad. You likely don't know enough about the genre, and certain things will fly right over your head. While it is not mandatory, the game will be 10 times better if you read or listen to some books first.

Some books I have enjoyed in that genre are:
Cyber Dreams by Plum Parrot,
Stray Cat Strut by RavensDagger
Tower of Somnus by Cale Plamann
Mist Runner by Nicholas Searcy

If you can only read or listen to 1 book, then I recommend Cyber Dreams by Plum Parrot. It is the closest thing to Cyberpunk 2077.

anast16d ago

Or play the TTRPG which is was based on.

Profchaos16d ago

I'd say its stronger than the switch as Mario kart has a broader appeal than zelda.

It was also a better launch line-up than the gamecube and possibly wii u

DivineHand12516d ago

@Profchaos the WiiU likely had the worst of the bunch which is partly why the system failed.

The gamecube had smash bros melee that launched 2 months after the initial release and that is one of the best games to release on that console. I assume every gamecube owner would be happy with that game.

The switch had Breath of the Wild which is still considered one of the best games of all time. I remember playing through that game and unlocked every equipment, upgraded every equipment to the max, found all the dragons, defeated all the Lynels and completed all the shrines in that game before defeating Ganon at the end. It was a good time from start to finish and made up for the lack of other launch games.

I just think that if they had us waiting that long for the switch 2, they should have more than just 1 or 2 first party games ready within the launch window. If we had at least gotten a trailer for a new 3D mario I would be extremely happy. With the current switch 2 lineup, there is no draw to go out and get it immediately like a new console launch should make you feel. Right now the main appeal is to provide a quality of life update to play switch 1 games.

OMNlPOTENT15d ago

There is also a book directly related to the universe of Cyberpunk 2077, it's called "No Coincidence". I thought it was a pretty good read.

Kornholic15d ago

"One tip I can give people who have never played the game is to first read books from the cyberpunk subgenre."

If somebody gave me this advice before I started my first Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough, I wouldn't have even bought the game in the first place.

DivineHand12515d ago

True because I wouldn't have played it either. It's just that I read those books after playing the game and thinking back, a lot of the motivations of each character started making more sense.

I just wanted to through that tip out there to recommend someone try to understand the cyberpunk genre more before playing. They will get more out of the game.

40 vs 60 fps is not something that I would even consider calling "competitive"

1nsomniac16d ago

Then you don’t know enough about the subject you’re trying to talk about..

badz14916d ago

hahaha...what? are you serious right now? the Switch 2 is not a PC where you can just change the graphical settings to get to 60fps...Unless CDPR released a patch to make it run at 60fps, that is.

As of right now, it's stuck at 40fps at best and that too with DLSS from quite a low base res already. so yeah...it's not competitive.

Profchaos16d ago

100% 40 isn't a arbitrary choice its a strategic choice because it opens up access to supporting technology on the console

Good-Smurf16d ago

DF are Nintendo's occasional bootlickers after that blatant Zelda games ad scandal.
Games like CP2077 are meant to be played on big console or powerful PC on a big screen.
Got to love how they're simp for full price purchase of 5-year-old game and still getting the worst version to play on.

1nsomniac16d ago

Wow you guys don’t let up for a second trying to blame DF for anything you can pick out the sky at any given moment. It’s embarrassing dude.

It’s always DF are bootlickers for Nintendo today, Microsoft yesterday, Sony last week. Make your mind up people… pick a side and stick to it. Sounds so stupid when you’re trying to make a point that some company is biased but that no one can make their mind up who the company is biased towards any given day of the week.

stoney10116d ago

Yep, the amount of hate they get is ridiculous. The funny thing is if you actually look at the comments on their early switch 2 videos people are slating them for not giving it enough praise and constantly comparing it to ps4.

ZycoFox16d ago

They had a "Sponsored by Nintendo" video not long ago, it literally says so at the start.

I trust them for showing frame rate analysis and they're decent for that, but their overall review for Nintendo is overrated, Mario Kart is the same game it has always been.

Really the only one that got close to topping DKR was MKDS.. So it's no wonder it's often ranked as the highest rated Mario Kart.

repsahj15d ago

It's obvious that you're not following DF. In the weeks leading up to the Switch 2's release, didn't you know that DF had so many articles downplaying the Switch 2 because they believed it was far from being more powerful than the PS4?

Phantom Liberty is a part of the game. If it can't run it. It can't run the game.
