I'll never understand forcing multiplayer modes/components into single player games just for the heck of it. Why does everything have to have co-op or multiplayer?

Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer component isn’t Battle Royale/ microtransaction unlikely, won’t be an Epic Store exclusive, will have multiple companions
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
If that Multplayer component veers anywhere near a Co-Op experience in this amazing city? ... i'm not sure if me and my friends will ever come up for air.
Does it really matter if it's available on GOG instead of Steam since you can just add the game to Steam and play it through there like you can with Witcher 3? I suppose it's a bit inconvenient for updates but it's hardly the "you must open our launcher just to play this game" bollocks peddled by Origin, uPlay and Epic.
Off course its not going to be exclusive on the epic store they have their own FUCKING STORE hahahahhahahaha :D
Bare minimum my pug ass.
For Witcher 3 they released a bunch of content for free post game which included recording new lines for characters because fans were sad characters had minimal dialogue.
Not to mention releasing two incredibly high quality expansions, one with an amazing story the other which has the playtime and quality of a full release, for like 20 bucks which is frankly a steal.
They were responding here to fan questions. They weren't bragging. And even then, it's their new Twitter pr person.
It's admirable sure but it's certainly not a strategy unique to CDPR, regarding the content delivery
They're just answering twitter questions, it's not like they made the thread here and complied all those tweets or made a presser, wtf...
So, it's Hollie working on the CDPR twitter account? the Cyberpunk one? or both?
Honest question, because I think people will give her shit on the internet for things the old guy did/said, and that doesn't sounds fair.
I remember the initial announcement, but didn't they say there'd be no MP at E3 and Gamescom after the official re-reveal?
What do people like you get out of shit like this?
No clue I assume both but don't quote me on that.
Pretty sure they've confirmed its still coming but just not at launch and that they had little details to reveal at the moment. They've reaffirmed it didn't take away focus from single player content though.
It's mainly that they haven't been willing to talk about it yet. As the game is singleplayer focused and they don't want to muddy that perception I believe. They don't want people hyping up, speculating or getting pissed about possible MP. As singleplayer game is what they are selling right now.
If I was to speculate though, the multiplayer functionality could be something with the mini-games in example. Going into a bar for pool and you can play against others online. Or online car races etc. This isn't something they have hinted at, as far as I know. But I could see this being the case.
They could also have separate multiplayer game in Cyberpunk universe (coming later). Just like Gwent and Thronebreaker are kind of their own things.

Looks like a wishlist of everything a gamer wants. But will the game delivers ? That's the most important thing.
Multiplayer will be like GTA Online is my best bet. They surely want their own GaaS thingy. It will have microtransactions in some way or another. Maybe bigger paid expansions like The Witcher 3 with smaller free updates? If they are going the multiplayer-route they will want to monetize it.
But maybe multiplayer is simply something a-synchron with community challenges? Or invasions and helpers like Soulsbourne games. Coop like FarCry 4+5? We will know in a few years ;)

Yeah, but will the game release on Steam or will CDPR pull a Ubisoft? I assume that's what the tweeter asking about EGS exclusivity was getting at.
It's possible they have this as a GoG exclusive. They tried it with Thronebreaker already. Thronebreaker doesn't have quite the same pull as Cyberpunk will, so it has better chance for success. But if that was what the tweeter was getting at, then they would just have asked if it will be exclusive to their own store/launcher not the Epic store. Or asked if it will be on Steam, if that's what interested them.

You should ask Ubisoft how they managed this with Division 2.
No BR: check
No MTX: check
No EGS: check
No Forced Online: check
They're doing all the right things.

Correct, but the initial wording was "exclusive" and they had to clarify that it was still coming to uplay.
It's a good question following the Metro bullshit. Not everyone knows that CDPR owns GOG.
It's 100% the most cynical, reddit approved, pandering PR. It's not bad per se but it always annoys me.
Hey I'm down for all of this. I wonder what the multiplayer component would be. I always thought it'd be co-op play or something like that, but since people are guessing stuff like "battle royale", now I'm beginning to think it could be something else? Either that or everyone else is just overthinking it?
Not everybody knows. I found out from OP

I mean, I'd be more than happy when that would be norm, so we wouldn't have to throw a parade.
I'm having a hard time believing no MTX in the multiplayer, especially since Gwent had them.
It's going to be interesting to see how people will take it if eventually does get MTX.

lol at that Epic store comment, ya don't say! A company with their own storefront to distribute their catalog ofc they'd never consider Epic. They'd be exclusive to their own store if anything, though they probably don't have the infrastructure and server resources the other big boys (Valve and Epic) do to actually pull that off on PC.
Cyberpunk is gonna be a thing to behold on next gen consoles.

If it isn't not doesn't unlikely, then I won't be not unhappy about playing, no?
Maybe I'm tired, but that title was weirdly hard to parse for me. All good responses from cd projekt red.
