Cyberpunk 2077

Guys, that's a "leaker".

Wait until CDPR says it, otherwise it's just a rumour. They've typically been fairly transparent.

The act of postponement was leaked every time except for the time it was postponed after going gold (not even the staff of CDPR knew about it hence the big argument with the community which resulted in death threats which wasn't justified). There is odd comms going on at the company.

Who knows, maybe the CDPR execs are doing this for marketing, not only hyping up the market, but also their investment portfolio. Announce launch date, accelerate sales, postpone launch date, rinse and repeat.

People may disagree all they want with me. Before the first postponement there was close to no marketing driving the actual sale of the game, after that postponement they started a clear marketing campaign. They introduced the factions, they introduced the weapons, they introduced the character builder, etc., etc., etc., Manufacturers started to push out limited edition Cyberpunk branded items, CDPR sponsored competitions galore.

It was barely after the early reviewers sample that popular YouTubers and reviewers, and other from certain communities, praised their good fortunes for having the opportunity to have their voices in the game, some saying that it was a most recent opportunity at that time. I guess there was a NDA, but I won't know.

What I am saying is, the game was never ready to be launched when they first said it will launch, and I am sure they knew it wasn't going to be ready by their next announced date. This questions it all the more why they announced Gold, maybe perhaps due to COVID restrictions having the game produced to disc before a possible logistical nightmare which may cause them distribution issues which is best to be avoided in a market where there are more bitches than players, but announcing Gold does give incentive for market the market to warrant pre orders. I won't be surprised that they have made their best sale run since going Gold for that period of time.

Jim Sterling wasn't wrong that the market is absolutely in love with CDPR. Give it three more years.
 
Well let's see how it unfolds. I thought about refunding the pre-order, but who am I kidding?

This is the game I've been wanting to play for years. Another month won't kill me, just gives me time to replace my 1070 with something beginning with RTX.
 
It's done when it's done.
Not sure what the big deal is, I'll check it out when it's released - until there's a lot of other good games to jam.

This works for me.

Still need to buy a new rig so if they only release it in 2077 I should be ok.

If they release in 2077 it won't be cyberpunk anymore but stoneagepunk.
 
I wonder what the production costs are versus Star Citizen, the total investment into CIG in March was estimated at more than $550 million, with the players contributing $275 million at that time and have already increased by $41 million which would value it now at $600 million. CIG said that all these monies are being poured into making Star Citizen, and this is a title postponed to whenever it will be eventually ready.

For how long have Cyberpunk 2077 now being in pre-order, around 13 months? I checked, pre-orders started Oct 15th, 2019. In September, it was reported to be a little behind RDR2 at a comparable time,

Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Orders Aren't Doing as Well as Other Major Games

Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Orders Aren't Doing as Well as Other Games​

A gaming analytic report claims that Cyberpunk 2077 pre-orders are not doing well when compared to other games at similar times pre-launch.

...

The firm is called M Science, and one of its most recent analysis reports brought up some surprising news about Cyberpunk 2077's pre-orders. The report says Cyberpunk 2077 is 31% behind where a much more successful game, Red Dead Redemption 2, was at a comparable time pre-launch. While this may not be an entirely fair comparison given how massively popular RDR2 was and is, major game studios like CDPR likely have high goals. Red Dead Online continues to make Rockstar plenty of money in microtransactions, which must look tempting to other huge studios.

However, the report does note that pre-orders are expected to start increasing as the release date gets closer, so there's still hope for Cyberpunk 2077 to finish this pre-order cycle strong. For a game that's been delayed so many times, CDPR would clearly love a successful game, and that point is driven home by its recent move to demand even more time and effort from its devs. Of course, the revelation of mandatory crunch time may end up hurting CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077's pre-orders and sales if people get angry enough to boycott the game.

Looking at 31% I am sure that going Gold may have surpassed RDR2 pre order status at that time, maybe. Note that RDR2 made in its opening weekend US$725 million in sales. They don't list any pre orders, so I guess pre orders applied to that launch?

How much is CDPR expecting to make with Cyberpunk 2077 in pre orders and opening sales? I am curious whether CDPR is still busy chasing their development costs which may explain postponing the title to an extent. It was not too long ago that GOG was a company in the red, so yeah...

I very much doubt that they could ever come close to RDR2 even with their multi-platform focus (really that's primarily what the delays have been about, the console gamers would be livid if PC gamers were given first dishings). Put me in that invester pool and I'd also tell you to **** off before I give my blessing to release first for those PC gamer peasants when Sony and Microsoft are giving me a serious percentage of cash for sales (probably more than my "own gog" platform).
 
If you're going to be playing on Xbox Series X/S, for now the option is to get the Xbox One version, and wait for the X/S optimized version?

Or am I missing anything?

Correct
"Cyberpunk 2077 will be delivered to Xbox Series X through the next-gen console's newly-announced Smart Delivery system. It's essentially 'forwards compatibility' – you buy a game on one generation of Xbox hardware, and get to play it at no added cost on another generation"

For those who plan to play on PC

I still don't have anything on how it will run on consoles, most of the footage I have seen is more xbox 1 x or series X ... no idea on how it will run on the older gens like xbox1 and PS4 :(

Cool, thanks.

Anyone ordered a digital copy from the MS store?

Also, I'm seriously contemplating getting the digital download version as opposed to the disc edition (I have an XSX), purely due to possible F ups from suppliers like Takealot, BT Games, Game, etc., due to what they had with next gen console orders getting cancelled, delivery dates pushed out, etc. etc., and seeing as this is apparently the most anticipated title of 2020.

Sure this won't be on the same scale as the next gen console orders, but not thinking I'll take the chance.

Thoughts?
