idk why they dont let current gen consoles just get the game 3 weeks later

If the game is good the reception from PC will for sure drive up sales for PS4 and XBOX

rockstar lets pc wait a year+

Current-Gen hardware is really going to hold back Next-Gen hardware for a few years.

The PS4 install base is so huge though, so it makes sense.

So it’s going to suck then?

Gonna be hard for them to deliver. Last big release I remember having constant delays was Last Of Us 2..

Q7: Good evening and thank you for taking my question. You said that the game is “kind of” ready for
the next-gen consoles and the PC, and the issue concerns the current generation. Can you say whether
you had considered splitting the launch into next-gen/current-gen? And the other question is: can you
confirm whether it’s just about optimizing the game so that it runs efficiently on the current generation
– or are there also glitches that need to be taken care of during the last three weeks before the launch?

MN: I’ll start with the release date: we have not considered splitting the release; we’re big believers in
serving everything at the same time. It’s much more reasonable from the perspective of how the team
operates and it’s also convenient from the marketing perspective. So the answer here is no. You also
mentioned that the game is prepared for next-gen. I would instead say that it’s ready to be played on
next-gen – that’s an important distinction because our true next-gen version is going to come later.
But yes; the game can be played and I just wanted to make sure that’s not misunderstood. Now, about
optimization and so on – games of such complexity and magnitude always have some bugs upon
release. This is understood; it’s commonplace – anybody who has played any game out there, like GTA,
RDR, The Witcher 3 – any of the big games – knows there are bound to be some bugs. It’s more about
the scale and the quantity of these bugs, and it’s really the only issue we’re facing – so of course we’re
going to continue improving and working on the game once it launches, as was the case with The
Witcher 3 – as everybody knows – but when it comes to the launch moment, we want people to not
be pestered by something that is going to be truly problematic for them; we want them to avoid those
kinds of situations; we want them to enjoy their arrival in Night City – so, coming back to your question,
yes, it’s basically optimization and all the challenges related to that. There’s no other “hidden story”
here.

I see Feb 14 2021

So the testers said they haven't played a game like this before more teasing

this should give us some hope:

Q10: Hi, just one question: some people would have thought three weeks before release is quite late
for a delay, but as we work towards the new December 10 date – when do you really need to make a
final decision that everything would be ready for that date? When do you believe it’s physically too
late to delay a game further? Is it two weeks before, one week before...? When can we get comfortable
that the game is definitely coming out?

MN: We’re not really a***yzing it this way because, to be honest, we don’t see such a thing happening.
I do realize you’ve actually heard this from us before, but this is pretty close to the launch and – as
we’ve mentioned several times – the game is ready; it’s there; you can actually walk through the whole
game and a number of people around the world who were given access to the game, have done it. We
need to be sure about the performance and that the glitches are gone, so – there is no such a***ysis
at all; we just haven’t thought about that.

Q10: Okay, so – basically – we can be comfortable now that the game is definitely coming out on
December 10, is that what you’re saying?

MN: That’s more or less what I’m saying, I guess – yes.

Tried to put a picture instead but embed being dumb af

These dudes are going crazy trying to make this s*** perfect

"more or less" "i guess" 2021 it is

hunnit cdpr still best dev and cp2077 still finna be goty

I feel bad for CDProjekt, people downplaying this game now gonna point to any flaws expected of a game this size like "There's clipping issues! Some side characters are lower res models! I knew this was going to be a flop "

I'm not expecting this game to be perfect. Animations look stiff, Melee combat seems to have no weight to it and I'm not expecting the main plot to be great, side quests tend to overshadow the main events in games like these which prioritize customization and player choice. I think I'll be satisfied if this gives me a Mass Effect 2 type feeling when it comes to quality and the experience I had playing it.

you mean GOTY?

this s*** def gonna be disappointing though, I see it for sure.

mfs gonna be zooming into the grass texture and complain while playing on ps4

Lmfao

you're right, I was underestimating how amazing it is with that statement

rt me @Kr0niic

“Why does it look so bad compared to night city wire!” Maybe because you’re playing it on a 7 year old machine

Stop

there are people out there planning on playing this on ps4/ xb1... that's crazy

Clam enough of this bullshit when are we playing the real game of the year (hunger)

That’s a fire hazard
