Anything about what they are doing with TW3?

Anything about what they are doing with TW3?
It's a free upgrade. Its purpose isn't in sustaining sales, it's in putting the game on new gen consoles.
My post was in relation to the few posts above me that were guessing if they are trying to use Witcher 3 upgrade to get more sells.
Since we already have this thread, I thought I'd post the update on the situation here
So not only the next-gen versions of CP2077 and Witcher 3, but all CP2077 updates are pushed to 2022 now. I wonder if they are gonna try and relaunch the game with the PS5/XSX versions. I doubt it'll work all that well for them tbh, but I guess we'll see.

Game continues to sell on pc and tons of people seem to be eagerly waiting for it on consoles so I think there's an era bubble in terms of people having completely lost interest(especially given the restrictions). It's a single player game anyway, how often do those get continuously talked about 10 months after launch
Sold an insane amount of copies too, why wouldn't they support and fix it 🤷♂️ Witcher 1 and 2 got massive enhanced editions a year or so after release that made then fundamentally better games.

It's a foolish notion to believe that anyone will have any kind of confidence in CDPR's future projects if they simply abandoned Cyberpunk 2077 and moved on. If anything the exact opposite effect will happen. This isn't difficult if you apply a degree of critical thinking.
Witcher 3 is going to get a sales bump every year from now until Netflix stops making Witcher content.
While that's true, does anyone really think they can salvage their image with CP2077 tho? With how that game turned out to be, there isn't really any chance of them being able to fulfill all the lofty promises they made. So, while I do understand that they need to stick with CP2077, I don't think in the end they can do anything short of remake that would help them save face when it comes to this mess, and I don't see them essentially remaking CP2077.
Ofc, but I don't think the sales bump will be that big to cover CDPR's operation costs. Unless they make a new $70 SKU for the next gen versions, in that case, I could see them getting some nice profit from the hype around season 3 of the show.
Assassin's Creed games, HZD, and BotW get talked about years after their release for their high quality. Cyberpunk 2077 gets talked about because "I was playing the game and then my character did a T pose on the bike and then my pants came off so I was T posing on a bike with my dick hanging out"
A "fix" for Cyberpunk 2077 would basically involve them just redoing the game because the claims was the first look of what open world games would be in the next gen and the NPC ai is worse than San Andreas for the PS2.
I mean discussion of Cyberpunk is effectively banned on the site so it's hard to compare with games that get a bunch of lttp threads. Generally well liked on pc and the verticality of the city is pretty impressive if not underused in missions.
Never expected good ai from the Witcher devs but I didn't follow the marketing at all given the massive, last minute Witcher 3 downgrade everyone has forgotten about 6 years later lol.

In one of the Bloomberg stories, some of the Cyberpunk dev staff said they thought the game should've originally been pushed back to 2022. Ironic.
Wouldn't put it past them. CDProjekt has sort of a tradition of doing "Enhanced Editions" for the last two Witcher games. In fact I think Witcher 1 Enhanced Edition is what started that naming trend for remastered PC RPGs. That's probably at least what they're gonna call the Witcher 3 update.

Not really, there's a great game there based on general feedback from people on PC. If they're going to use all this extra time to make it stable, the idea of relaunching it with tweaks/balances + extra content could mean the game matches the level of brilliance expected from the guys behind Witcher 3. I don't think it's far fetched. Personally interested in the next gen version.
From what I played, I wasn't too disappointed to learn that refunds were available for performance issues. I remember thinking to myself that bugs aside, it was a fairly mediocre experience. Worse so when you consider AAA budgets, development time, and production.
I think they can honestly. The questing and main content was actually pretty good. The issues are the bugs and the open world stuff. Even the open world itself is pretty good, it's just largely lacking in the systems/side content that make up a modern open world game (particularly compared to Rockstar's). If I were in charge of it, now that a lot of the heavy hitting bugs are addressed, I would simply focus the dev team on the open world systems, revamp the peds, revamp the driving model until it's actually good, and certainly revamp the cop/law system. Focus the first expansion/DLC/enhanced edition on addressing that stuff, and focus on adding more side content that's dynamically found in the open world. The good news is a lot of that stuff isn't heavy on content creation, it's more reworking systems.
I played the entire thing through on a 'day one' Xbox One. Loved it, double dipped and bought for PS5 now in anticipation of the updates. My dream is to see this game get some online features like GTAO or RDRO - I'll wait however long it takes.
It's one of the rare cases my patience seems to be working out. Could have gotten it through out this year and played it at 1440p/60 FPS on last gen settings on the SX. But, glad I waited.
I bought it for $8 with a steel case. Waiting to play it until the next gen patches. :)
Oh yeah, games been getting some pretty good deals on physical. Seen it for $9 on Target and such.
Still weird that TW3's next gen version is coming after CP2077. We haven't even seen anything from TW3's PS5 version if I'm not mistaken.
I really think the update is getting bigger than what they wanted first.
with all the bad reputation they got, they have to make something great to get back customer to like them again haha
I would imagine fixing CP2077 is an all-hands-on-deck situation.
I would assume the Witcher 3 update is being outsourced, could be wrong though.
How long does this usually happen before release?
It's outsourced.
Saber interactive. They did a great job on the switch version
Sweet.
Me too. Figured it wouldn't be that cheap again for a while.
I don`t think so tbh. We´ll see. Just wait for more infos and buy the old gen version cheap then.
at last! well i'm not playing it on PS5 (i'm on PC) but any kind of news about the game is welcome. love the new artwork btw :D
The thing with CP2077 is... developers really destroyed the visuals with the 1.3 patch. I don't know, I feel it was the wrong move to make, sure it runs better on last gen consoles now, holding closer to that 30 fps target but at what cost?
LOD, view distance, and visual effects are hurt so much that now everything pops in your face from a very short distance, it is extremely distracting and annoying, it hurts otherwise superb visuals of the game so so much. absolutely not acceptable on PC, where the game will have way longer life than last gen machines, which aren't really capable of playing this game in all honesty.
I don't care that much they downgraded the lighting and that roads now are way less reflective in the night. it may not look as good as it was but... the original game maybe was too much for current hardware to handle and now at least people are getting better performance, but LOD and very short view distance are not something you can overlook.
At least I'm using a mod to solve the issue on PC but I do really hope they improve it in the future (and even with the mod there are still short distance lighting issues like shadows being cast on buildings when you move closer to them).

Dropping Feb 18th to mess with Forbidden West's release and spite Sony?
if you go past the point of no return it doesn't really matter. as soon as the warning comes up a save is made and once the credits roll it kicks you back to that save so you can keep exploring and doing quests or even try get a different ending.
i was gonna hold off finishing the story until i done everything too but got it out the way and now i'm chilling going around having fun.
lol i don't get people worrying about release dates. you're right just play it when it suits you. I ain't picking up Horizon Forbidden West in February cause i'll be too busy with Elden Ring. I'll pick Horizon up when i got time.
also people seem to not like big games releasing near each other. there's someone saying Cyberpunk will mess with Horizon and upset Sony if it comes out February lol. Pick what one you wanna play and play it. or buy both and switch between them.
An upgrade of a shitty release ain't going to rustle any feathers over at Sony.
