Cyberpunk 2077 - New RPG by CD PROJEKT RED

[Static]

Its same on PS5


Same on PS5

The PS5 I believe you have to manually download the ps5 version and make sure you delete the ps4 version, and it can be difficult to parse which version is which. Hopefully sony has ironed out that very annoying UI issue by then.

Xbox on other other hand handles that behind the scenes without you even knowing and you just play the best available version out.

I’ve put about 5 hours in and really enjoying it, bugs aside. It’s a little overwhelming the amount of things you have to learn though.

My PC hardware barely qualifies for the game's "Low settings," but it sounds like it might still run and look better than it does on last-gen consoles. Ok, yeah, I just found a YouTube video showing that my RX 570 can do 1080p at 45fps on Low and 30fps on Medium, both without ray tracing, obviously, but also without the extreme blurring, pop-ins and other issues that last-gen consoles seemingly have. Still, I'm not sure if I want to play it like this or wait until I upgrade.

I always loved it when I was able to buy one of their copies, especially when it comes with a demo disk I really wanted.

Yeah, those were awesome. I believe that I first played X-COM and WarCraft from their bundled demo disks. Of course, after a few years, I discovered that all of the demos could be downloaded for free from BBSes weeks earlier, but it was a fun few years relying on a print magazine.

anyone running an i7 8700k (16GB) with a 1080ti at 1440?

edit: CPU can be OC'd to 4.4 ghz, RAm to 3200. GPU is factory OC'd

If you want to get any idea of how it runs on your hardware, just do a search on YouTube for "Cyberpunk 1080 Ti." I'm sure that you'll find several videos comparing at different resolutions and quality settings. It won't be exact, but it'll give you a good idea.

I have the 9th gen i7/32GB, but with that card and resolution I get a framerate in the mid 40s on Ultra.

I'm a little bit annoyed at myself for caving to some hype and preordering, as I'm now a bit worried to play it on PS4 Slim. I have a decent enough backlog that I could have waited for a sale. I'm now going to be in a kind of wait and see mode for the next couple of weeks. I think I still have a sizeable chunk of TLO2 to push through, and after that I have a few options I could dig into on Switch or PS4, so I'll probably just see how the patch situation is looking.

I just hope the PS4 can be patched to have decent and consistent performance. If not, then I guess it's kind of whatever, as I'll just have to put it on the shelf until I decide to splurge on a PS5.

 

[Jussi]

That took a really long time to patch and install.

 

[Emperoreddy]

After going through multiple reviews I’m holding on this one. I’ll snag it when price is discounted in a few months. I mean we’ve waited this long with all the delays - what’s a little bit longer?? Also, shame the main story is so short.

Yeah I am going to hold out for patches and the proper PS5 version. And maybe for it to go on sale.

 

[TheDoldrums]

I held onto my pre-order because it was $30 off, got it on an E3 deal years ago. Going to suffer through on my ps4.

I'll probably lean more into hacking and stealth to avoid frame drop firefights lol

 

[JeffreyLFC]

PC Gamer straight up said to wait a few months while they iron out most of the problems.

Voila.

Most games are full of bugs. It's always better to wait a bit so they can get fixed and possibly get the game cheaper.

Glad I did not fell for the hype and I have a ps5 but still would rather wait.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Looked at a couple PS4 streams. While the graphics and performance are disappointing I still decided to buy it because the story looks good. Seems like turning off the motion blur, film grain, and other settings helps out a lot. Loading now and I’ll likely start playing Saturday. Hope they make some serious repairs though, because it does not look close to what it was hyped up to be

 

[Beau Knows]

Certainly another good example of why people need to stop pre-ordering games, make them earn your money, it enables shit like this.

I'll probably end up caving to curiosity and firing it up sooner rather than later (on PS4 Slim), so I'll be curious to hear about settings and general experience, performance-wise.

 

[Beau Knows]

I'm not a huge fan of Rockstar's dated game design these days - but when you look at RDR2 or GTA 5 and compare it to this - the interactivity of the world, the density and AI of the NPCs and traffic, it's all just a step above with R*. You almost take for granted how impressive Rockstar's open worlds are when something like this is released by another talented studio with a massive budget.

I remember in the first trailer for this game the line was "I'm a big dreamer", that was CDPR telling us about their aspirations for this game. They were shooting for the stars, but they've got a long way to go, I don't know if they can patch this game into excellence.

 

[Tw1ster]

I’m looking into refunding the PS4 version due to stadia having a really good promo going on where you buy Cyberpunk and get the premium stadia included in the purchase. Apparently it’s running really well on stadia.

I’ll post on here once I play on my ps4. I probably should wait to see if they patch it, but I have two weeks off coming up soon and nothing else to do so it’s worth a shot

 

[Harbinger]

I must be lucky because I am having no issues with the game at all.

Plenty of games don't ship this broken. This is very Bethesda of them.

Agreed 100% and to me there are no excuses for CDPR.

People defending them are also a big part of the problem. They accept mediocrity because the game concept is fabulous. And also because of the hype and anticipation behind this project. Don't get me wrong I am excited too about this game and I will buy it but they had a lot of pressure to release this game sooner than later since they already pushed it back so much.

So "CDPR" pushed the game to be released before the holidays knowingly that the game was broken on PS4 and Xbox one (which will drive most of their sales) and low end PC (which honestly they don't care). They saw the 8M+ pre orders and understood that it was cash in the bank. They were greedy and wanted to cash in on the hype as soon as possible. They probably also understood that the game was fabulous on high end PC, so they knew the review pre release on PC would not tank them.

In the end, they will make a lot of money on the game but their reputation on their future projects will take a hit and possibly have less pre orders.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

This looks awesome, but I'll definetly be waiting on the PS5 release.

lmao

this game simply is not for old gen consoles and low end pcs. Scummy of CDPR to not be honest of that but idk what people were expecting. its a 2020 game, you need 2020 hardware to run it

From what I've seen (read my post above), it appears to run fine on PCs meeting the specs that CDPR gave for playing at 1080p on Low settings, so they were honest about that. It seems to be only the old gen consoles that aren't giving the promised or expected performance.

Well, the corollary to that I would say is Skyrim. Released at the end of the lifecycle of the Xbox360/PS3, it wrung every last drop of performance out of those systems (compare how it looks to Oblivion released at the beginning of their lifecycles). So it is possible, but CDPR obviously weren't interested in optimising the game for systems that are only just beginning to be replaced. Wheras say Larian have come out and openly said "you're gunna need a nextgen console to play BG3 when it comes out"

As for accusations of cashing in and greed.....as Mr Matty Plays said in his video yesterday, CDPR have built up a lot of goodwill in the gaming community - this game cashes in that goodwill. Will they now go full Activision/EA/Ubisoft, or will they try to reclaim their good name?

I do remember an interview with Gabe Newell after HL2 was released and he was talking about the massive pressure he was under to release the game and he didn't want to until the bugs were ironed out, and every month he's writing a cheque for $2M to pay the companies wages and there's no money coming in.....

 

[Dolemite]

Stop.

You explore an open world city, gain reputation from various criminal organizations, get wanted levels for causing havoc, and receive missions from NPCs both in person and over your phone.

The fact that it adds significantly more traditional RPG elements does not make it NOTHING like GTA.

It's also very clearly trying for a similar level of cultural commentary and satire, though most of the response thus far suggests that it's nowhere near as good in that regard as GTA. Too 'try hard' for lack of a better descriptor.

Have you played it? No. It's nothing like GTA.

I preordered knowing full well I'd have the series x to play it on but I still can't help but feel a good majority of customers got absolutely screwed here.

They developed a massively large game with insane amounts of detail during a pandemic. For the conditions they developed it under, it's really good. People complaining about it are way overly dramatic.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Not sure why people are whining about the world being barebones sir whatever when they've barely played. The world is pretty rich in detail, and your map is cluttered with things to do. Not sure I really get the GTA comparisons, this game has pretty deep RPG stuff like perks, skills, crafting, dialogue choices, levels of skills that make you able to do stuff you normally couldn't, unique romance options, etc. Basically can play how you want.

I'm like 10+ hours in, and it's been awesome so far. Playing on an ok PC - 1060 6gb at 1440p, mostly low/medium but usually hovers around 35fps which is fine. Rather have 1440p than 1080p with a bit higher fps. Haven't ran into any major bugs or crashes either, just some minor stuff like pop in. I mean it's no surprise it runs like crap on old gen hardware. They've been out for 7+ years, and the hardware wasn't even good when they came out. I'd just wait if playing on those systems, hopefully they can improve it. The ps5/Xbox one x, seem to run pretty good though from what I've read.
