Sleep research postdoc here. I've done that amount of hours for almost certainly less than half the pay and zero benefits. It does suck.
Yeah at least the CPU's will be all the same which is great working around the GPU is way easier than just the CPU's. And I agree we are probally a year or two before total abandonment They will be around for a while especially for sports games etc until the consoles are readily available this is kind of why sony really pushing turn over is going to be a big deal. If they can get to a 50% swap in 2 years thats great for everybody.With the kind of supply constraints COVID is creating and the economic downturn it's going to be a while before Sony and MS can provide nextgen consoles to folks who can't afford them any way. PS4 and XBO are here to stay. Not to mention even once they're gone studios still have to build for XBSs at the low end.
lol please rebuild this game on mobile architecture with chibi character design. It's all I want now.It's going to be like that FFXV port they did.
And it's still going to run at just about double digits FPS.
The cert process generally has two sets of criteria - deal breakers that fail outright (e.g. crashing, using incorrect platform trademarks like button names/icons, etc.), and things that don't cause outright failure but are worth a point value. If a game accumulates too many points, it also results in cert failure. However, if the game has few enough points, it can pass cert with no required changes.
There's also window between a full pass and cert failure called "conditional pass" which is not quite bad enough to fail, but still bad enough to require fixes. Conditional passes come with a list of must-fix issues in a day 1 patch. No day 1 patch means no approval. What almost certainly happened was that Cyberpunk 2077 got a conditional cert pass due to enough issues that weren't bad enough to fail cert outright but also weren't benign enough to get a full pass. This was their "going gold" status - they got the conditional pass from cert.
Longtime readers should know that patches also require certification and can also fail… which is almost certainly what happened in this case. CDPR most likely failed cert for their day 1 patch and thus must continue to crunch to try to fix it. They probably did not expect to fail cert (again), but they also cannot release the game without passing cert, so they had to delay the game (again) despite "going gold". My suspicions are that they devs are probably running on fumes thanks to having crunched for a year and a half already.
I would imagine he's addressing the massive amount of hate and criticism he got for daring to report on the crunch in the first place. I mean just look at the twitter responses to his earlier tweets
You say that like someone who recently had the same issues with their own game on the OG consoles *cough*, lol. :D
I never understood how they possibly planned to get the world we saw in that gameplay demo 2-3 years ago to work on the original consoles, and was actually concerned when they confirmed it was a current-gen game.
Never thought it would be delayed even when it had gone gold…
I mean, how buggy would the 1.0 version be?
Honest question - has another game ever been delayed after going gold before?
Going gold but still delayed
I’m still crunching so it is still difficult for me to find the time for full length posts, but I’ve gotten a number of questions about Cyberpunk 2077 getting delayed again after going gold and it’s a...askagamedev.tumblr.com
Had they failed cert they couldn't have locked master copies aka gone gold.
Basiclly it means development has been an absolute mess and keep in mind we have seen no real footage from the console versions.

Game must be absolute fucking disaster then and that insider info / rumor about game needing at least 5 months more time to come together is legit.
Mostly this delay sucks for the devs who need to keep on crunch marching longer and longer...
That wouldn't have happened anyway. The cutoff for TGAs is November 15th.
Yeah because of the Corona lockdown. This is completely different.
All of their previous Witcher games launched in pretty buggy or seemingly not in good condition so much so that there is a sort of pattern of them releasing major patches that significantly improve the game long after the game releases. I would expect nothing different here.
I don't believe he did, November 15 was the cutoff for last year, I don't think the cutoff has been announced for this year.Did Keighley said anything about it before this delay? I'm sure they could have squeezed it in... although this is a moot point now.
Holy shit hahaThis was YESTERDAY. FFS, why give dates they won't be able to fulfill?
