QuoteCyberpunk 2077 Is "Far, Far Bigger Than The Witcher 3" Says Dev

Cyberpunk 2077 sounds like it will be massive.

Developer CD Projekt Red has described it's upcoming sci-fi role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 as much larger than it's recently released fantasy RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Speaking to MCV UK in an interview, visual effects artist Jose Teixeira said, "Cyberpunk is far bigger than anything else that CD Projekt Red has done before... far, far bigger."

Teixeira went on to explain how development on The Witcher 3 helped the team as it worked Cyberpunk 2077.

"The Witcher helped Cyberpunk quite a bit, because the game got so big and so complex that it really taught us," he said. "We really didn't know what was going to happen. If anything, working on The Witcher 3 was a really good and often brutal learning experience. Cyberpunk is going to benefit greatly from it. I can almost guarantee it."

Cyberpunk 2077 was first revealed in May 2012, although it did not have a name at the time. CD Projekt Red confirmed that the game would be based on Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk pen-and-paper RPG system. The Cyberpunk 2077 title was announced in October 2012. Details on the game have been scarce, although CD Projekt Red did say that it was not planning to discuss the game until 2017 at the earliest, choosing to focus on The Witcher 3 instead.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released in May this year and was highly praised in GameSpot's review, where it scored a ten out of ten. Following the game's launch, CD Projekt Red has released several free DLC packs and has announced an expansion titled Hearts of Stone.

Polska! Polska! Polska!

I was talking recently to a London-based partner from my firm who asked what are Poland's chief exports. He was surprised we did not export a lot of natural resources - I told him it's mainly apples, dairy and computer games.

Apples and dairy are both natural and resources.  :P

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

FWIW, PC Gamer's review is out.

https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-review/

They give it 78% (which, on their scale is good, but not great - for reference, they gave Witcher 3 92%).

"CD Projekt Red returns with an incredible setting undermined by an onslaught of bugs."

"Some nice characters and stories nested in an astounding open world, undercut by jarring bugs at every turn."

"We received a 50GB patch during our review period. CDPR referred to this patch as the Day 0 patch. When asked for clarification whether the patch will be what players were receiving at launch, a CDPR representative told us that the Day 0 patch is what people will be experiencing on launch day. It is the Day 1 patch, only different in name. More fixes will be rolled into the Day 0 (Day 1) patch, but we cannot specify exactly what. "

Well, they got 3 days to fix those bugs :P

I pre-ordered it a while ago, so I'm gonna play it during Christmas time  :)

I was going to wait a bit to buy it anyway, so the bugs don't necessarily bother me. If they don't have it tidied up in a year, I'll be worried.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm still pretty hyped for this. I don't mind playing through Eurojank. The Witcher series was full bugs as well. They'll patch it up like they did with Witcher 3.
