If the game is designed to run on current gen consoles then your RX580 should be fine, methinks
Like I complained a bit about pop-in before but what is going on with the lights on the building here?
Instead hard popin they fade in.
Game will have popins, fadeins, awkward LOD transitions. As long they manage to minimize it and hide it as best as they can I personally can live with it.
Does anyone know about mouse and keyboard support on PS4/PS5? I tried to search but not getting a definitive yes or no answer . I have a 2080 so I'm sure I could almost reach 720/30 on low but I want something other than DS remake for my shiny new console
you'd just be playing the ps4 version on your ps5 anyways. Not sure why you would want to be put through that.

I'm fine with that concession. Open-world games always have some degree of pop-in; so fade-in is beyond acceptable for me👍
Isn't there a free upgrade to current gen when released? I could've sworn I saw that somewhere
the next gen version of the game for both ps5 and series x doesn't come out until next year.
There might be slight upgrades (in terms of performance) but none of the next gen upgrades (i.e Raytracing) will be in the ps4/xone versions.
Yep, it's running at least in the enhanced mode, not the bare compatibility mode. So better framerate and more stable resolution. It will also benefit from loading from an SSD with faster CPU for decompression (faster initial load and faster texture streaming).
Next year will be raytracing , optimized queues streaming from the NVME, more NPCs and objects (the CPU is much better on the PS5) and other settings set higher along with other bells and whistles (unique controller feateures etc).
With such a strong push on pc and gog being popular, can we expect it to sell the best on PC?
Or will it be the ps4 ( large userbase).
I just hope they respect the massive sales the consoles will bring and do the best they can to make it as optimised as possible.

I was being facetious lol. I know the PC version will be fine just want something else to play on the PS5 when I get it other than Demon's Souls and MAYBE Miles. Those games will get old fast I know it

Just a month, feels surreal. Can't wait to immerse myself in this world!
Little details like the jaywalking here is what I love about CDPR. All the stuff on display here in general is just jaw dropping, I'll be stopping and staring a lot. It feels overwhelming, and that's just how a Cyberpunk society should feel like. They nailed it..
Simple stuff like just seeing the city whizz by from the windows while having a conversation in a car makes me really glad CDPR went first person.
If you keep making posts like this I'll be forced to place you on ignore until launch. Nothing personal, it's for my own sanity.
In all seriousness, I don't throw "dream game" out there lightly, but if 2077 delivers on both the incredibly rich, detailed, lived in cyberpunk setting and pushing systemic/player-driven RPGs forward in terms of freedom and reactivity, that is exactly where we are.
Why is your 3080 gonna cry if this game was made and that video recorded with lower GPUs in the studio?
Your CPU being a bottleneck is another different thing, but your 3080 is gonna be more than perfectly fine for this game.

Same here🤘
As far as my ultimate Cyberpunk videogame and what I would hope it to be; this is it.
my only worry really, is gameplay. I didn't like the gameplay in Witcher. And we kinda take for granted how good FPS games feel. So many are good that now its surprising when a game doesn't feel right. Going back and playing Deus Ex, whoo the shooting in that is a struggle.
or something more recent, Hyperscape. Another game where the shooting is just off. So for me, yes the world, characters, story, rpg elements are important. But gameplay above all. The combat and driving has to feel great.
i dont want another situation like Witcher. Where i like everything about the game, except actually playing it.

Indeed. Like I adore the Deus Ex series, the original was key in informing a lot my current gaming tastes, but it never had the scale to fully capture that Akira/Bladerunner-esque magic of
of being immersed in this sprawling neon-drenched future metropolis, cruising the city at night, etc...
1 month!!

Blade Runner × Ghost In The Shell × Akira = Cyberpunk 2077🤘
If you don't like gameplay of Deus Ex then I suspect you will have issues with CP77 no matter what. Just like Deus Ex this is RPG first, FPS second.
Early on V will be incompetent fighter (melee or firearms) so weapon handling will be slow and awkward from aiming to reloading to firing. Over time V will gain proficiency with all of that as you keep using weapon types, making gunplay better. Also quality of weapons will most likely play part in this, 3D printed crap from Budget Arms will be very different from hi-tech from Militech.
Even then it is still RPG so it most likely will never go that pure FPS gameplay feel of snappiness and accuracy.
Same most likely applies to driving. Proficiency with driving + what you are driving. Clunkers will drive bad no matter what.
Usually 30 days would just fly by but when ever there is something to look forward to time seems to slow down somewhat, still it is just nice to have something to look forward what with how crappy this year has been.
Do we know if PC version is shipping with anything different effects-wise than the PS5/Series X skus aside from RT effects? Is the next gen patch coming also for PC version? Bit confused on the whole next gen patch re: PC.
I think most would be happy with the gunplay as long as the shooting feels good after getting all the relevant upgrades. Would further incentivize carrying those stats over to a new game +.
NPC AI does look rough in the pre-release build, particularly during melee encounters. V can run circles around enemies, and not in a good way. Might just be the demo being played on the easiest difficulty, though.
there wont be any ps5/series x skus this year. The only 'next gen' version available this year will be on PC.
the versions that will be out on consoles this year will be the ps4 and xone versions, with BC upgrades.

Time does seem to slow when you are near something you are deeply excited about👍
Well, unless you have an Nvidia graphics card, you'll be waiting with the rest of us for RTX - since only Nvidia cards get that tech at launch🤷♂️
Unless it has severe optimisation issues the game will run fine on PC. I know it looks very pretty and all that but the game at its core is a current generation game built for XONE/PS4 ceiling hardware. The game logic and rendering pipeline will have been structured accordingly around archaic CPU/RAM configurations, with the more impressive facets of the game being asset quality scaling up like most PC games do, ray tracing features being the actual next gen stuff bolted on.
How far it scales up and what performance cost that'll come at remains to be seen, but yeah. Cyberpunk is still a game built for current gen hardware.

Which is really funny since DF couldn't contain themselves in the ampere direct and just kept shouting this is next gen when the trailer came on.
To be fair, if I'm remembering correctly, Cyberpunk was showcasing ray tracing which is legitimately next gen. And to their credit the RT coverage here is pretty huge rather than limited to just reflections or something. Reworking all the shadowing and lighting with ray tracing will, much like Metro Exodus, produce very nice results at a hefty performance cost.
Yeah so the point is, the full RT suite on PC is making it shine even if some of the underlying tech is mostly current gen. Not to mention there's zero chance next gen consoles include the amount or level of RT features that a dedicated RTX card can run.
I can't agree with you more, but it's pretty amazing to me that even on a hardcore board like this one, most people seem to be burying the lede on the bolded part in your post. Ever since the 48-minute demo two years ago, *that's* been the most impressive thing on my mind. The cyberpunk world building looks godlike, it's going to be absolutely amazing to have a open-world like this... but that's not even the most impressive aspect of this game at all. The most impressive bit, if they can pull it off (which is a big if, but it looks extremely promising thus far) is the player agency in the story. What the showed in terms of your options for the Maelstrom den mission in that demo is pretty much unprecedented in the AAA space, and even more hype-inducing than that is that in subsequent recent interviews, they've gone over several more potential branching ways that mission can play out which is just mind blowing. Again, it's a huge if, but if they are even remotely successful in having that level of detail/agency across the whole game it is going to be an utterly massive achievement. And then we get expansions.
Edited: I said scav den when I meant the Maelstrom hideout.

What do you think we can we expect day-one on next-gen consoles, in terms of graphics, visual fidelity and framerate?
Yeah, it is. Will be interesting to see how high it scales up though. IMO The Witcher 3 looks much better on PC on highest setting and that's before you get into tweaks.
No idea. Probably something similar to highly optimised Xbox One games that are enhanced on Series X, mainly in terms of resolution output and framerate. But exactly what those variables will be is anyone's guess and CDPR haven't been clear.
It really does, I remember asking you for tweaks at the old place. Damn the faceoff threads were a comedy fest.
This game has some amazing looking things going on. Kinda shut my mind off to it though after they started to say it wasn't political or something like that. WTF type of story you gonna tell, in a game like this, if you're not trying to be political. Story is gonna be so bland if it has nothing to say. The world and themes are so political. My hope is that they meant the game doesn't have a specific stance on many issues. If the topics are complex and lead to a lot of interesting choices, that could be great. Would be inline with most RPGs then. But it also depends how it handles more questionable paths a person can take.
Also worried it's gonna botch Trans representation based on some of the stuff I've seen. Looking at them and by giving CDPR the maximum benefit of the doubt, they might be fine, but obv from some of the stuff to come out from them (including the never ending Twitter controversies) I very much doubt it. Only when I get it in my hands will I really be able to have an opinion...
Game has a lot of potential. I hope that I'm able to fully enjoy it, and the lack of a message + bigotry isn't there. If it lacks a real message in the story, it's really not gonna be that interesting. Or it's just gonna feel like it fails it's setting. If the game has some bigotry (as most media does) it's just gonna be a wait a see if it's passing or too integral to really not shit all over it.
Also, planning on picking this up on PS4 for PS5. Hoping for some console gameplay and PS5 info. They seem to suggest something is happening.

I sincerely hope that it lives up to everyone's expectations even remotely close to how I am certain that it will live up to mine😊
Hopefully the next Night City WIRE will shed some light on this. In my mind, the Xbox Series X version will be the Xbox One X with it's enhanced patch, using all the bells and whistles of the Xbox Series X; like the SSD for faster loading, higher framerate and 4K resolution - minus Ray-Tracing of course, which will come later.
