Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay trailer has more views in 2 days than Red Dead Redemption 2 in 20 days
- Thread starter Paul
- Start date
Both trailers were mind-blowing. I think people know what to expect with RDR2 whereas Cyberpunk was more of an unknown - nobody knew even remotely what to expect from it so they flocked to the reveal.
RDR2 many know roughly what to expect so are on blackout.

Probably this: Cyberpunk was unknown besides some (rather hyperbolic) reports from E3 making it as if this is a game that will only be possible in a decade or something. The Witcher 3's status, the long-lasting hype cycle (based on nothing) of the game... make for a situation where a gameplay reveal was really going to be something absolutely insane. RDR2, as interesting as it may be in trailer form, is something most people already know whether they'd buy or not, its gameplay is relatively predictable content-wise and style-wise, and it had trailers and more info than Cyberpunk this past year. But still, incredible stuff for CD Projekt: for now, at least, it seems to be one of the biggest games on the planet, and it's going to release years away. Congrats!

Not true, huge amount of PC gamers are interested in it and expect it to be announced after console versions are out.
Wild.
Gotta say as hyped as I am for Red Dead, Cyberpunk is on another level for me.
Cyberpunk 2077=The Last of Us 2
Red Dead Redemption=Halo Ininite
Personal hype levels.

Take away the lack of PC interest in RDR2 and it could also be the setting. Not everyone likes the wild west, just like not everyone likes Sci Fi but I bet there are a lot of people very interested in the Cyberpunk setting. I know if I had the choice of one or the other I would've chosen Cyberpunk even before the trailers. Been anticipating CDPRs next game for a long time.
I don't think it delivered (in that footage at least) but a very stereotypical cyberpunk world that is actually large, vertical, explorable, etc. is something most people want and have still have not received. Not surprising there would be more excitement for it.

I don't find it particularly surprising, but I do find it impressive, having in mind CDP's mortyr-driven Witcher 1 beginnings. It's cool that a company that does drm-free, free updates, zero microtransactions etc can command such blockbuster success.
Two very impressive promos... and I get to play and enjoy both of these classics-in-the-making.
It's a good time to be a gamer.

People like new stuff I Guess. Or that a futuristic setting is more appealing than a western setting.
I'm buying RDR2 and yet I haven't watched the entirety of the gameplay video.
Meanwhile Cyberpunk is still 2 years away at best, and I've watched the video 3 times already.

Both are top class of the industry.
I do think CD Projekt Red is the better developer though. They push the boundaries, where as Rockstar usually lays down the standards. Whatever the case, I am happy that westerns and sci-fi isn't dead, and it's two great devs assuring these genres as relevant still.

All thanks to the greatest video game character ever created: Dum Dum. RIP to the honest businessman.

I bet Cyberpunk will be a multi gen title and if it's a launch title for next gen then who ever Launceston first will get a massive head start.
I guess showing off your game more helps. We've seen more of Cyberpunk 2077 than we have of RDR2. Yet RDR2's the one that's out in less than two months.
