Rumor: Cyberpunk delayed because of current gen console performance.

Whether or not this delay was caused by performance problems I will be shocked if they don't exist. You can't expect the moon from 7 year old machines that were 400 USD when they came out.
You do when the pc version is also delayed due to consoles. If they have to strip a feature across the board because consoles can't handle it, it also effects you.When you're a PC player and don't have to worry about current gen consoles.
I don't believe it at all, CD Project is a big and talented team, they released The Witcher 3 on these console already and also had to scale it back from their initial intentions, so they knew very well their limitations when they started the development of Cyberpunk
This rumour specifically mentions base Xbox as the culprit. Also, I don't see how the base PS4 can be a bottleneck when developing for consoles since it's in all regards stronger than base Xbox. I don't see how developing for base Xbox, XBOX One X, Xbox Series X and PC requires significantly less work than also adding PS4.
So, presumably, the thought process is if they wait for next gen consoles then they can get away with releasing current gen (last gen!) versions that look like **** in order to hit 25+fps.
But if they release in April there's no way console gamers will forgive such an extreme downgrade.

Should have phrased it better gonna edit the post, I was strictly talking about performance and those that were worried about current gen versions of the game.
Most likely the CPU is the primary thing holding performance back (visuals are easier to scale down), and Pro/X have the same one just clocked a little higher, so it doesn't look promising.
If this is true (which could be possible, with how old the base consoles are now) I guess it would show how scaling games doesn't always work to support old hardware, when the game is more ambitious.
said this in the Canadian Deals OT
I'm holding off buying anymore new PS4 games besides FFVII remake. allows me to put a big dent in my backlog and avoids cross-gen shenanigans like this

You mean the minuscule difference in clock speeds between Xbox One and PS4? This rumour specifically mentions Xbox so it's not a CPU thing.
In any case, this isn't about Xbox vs PS. It's just an indication that it might be extremely difficult to scale very ambitious games down to the current generation which is sth that many people don't want to admit. Only when I see MS giving us sth on the scale of Cyberpunk (meaning overall world complexity and interactions) on ALL Xbox platforms I'll accept that.
why? That's strictly first party titles only and for a year or two, it's a real non issue
Can you imagine if it was still coming out in April? The performance on PS4/Xbox One would be terrible.
Or the people said this is full of shit? otherwise i guess i can't wait to see exclusive Witcher game on PS5 then.
I mean for open world games such as Halo you gotta wonder if they had to scale it back because of current gen limitations.
Wouldn't be surprised, I'm expecting current gen to run like arse still, it's why I'm waiting to see if I should wait for next gen/if I get a good PC.
I think people expecting halo to be amazing on the current consoles are in for a huge surprise, it will in all likelihood be 900p 30fps on old consoles.
WOW
This is actually great news though I have a hard time imagining that they would actually ditch the previous gen versions
I mean Witcher 3 is on switch... Are they taking the extra time to both polish up a next gen version as well as optimize a previous gen????
I suppose they can afford to do this but talk about your cross gen development hell hole. I would almost prefer they be next gen exclusive but thats just me

0.o this seems a bit of a reach but I'll bite can you explain this ?
How do these go together in any capacity? Xcloud will be a huge backbone for gamepass on devices that can't run games. Hence why your xbox one will always be viable.
Hopefully they can figure something out but I'd consider dropping XBO. Not sure if MS allow an XBX only game. They could just delay one version, release the other versions and scrap it later if need be once the new consoles are here and XBX drops in price.
This game has always felt like a long way off so I'm not bothered if it gets delayed. Obviously CDP have a lot of money invested and users to consider.

My intial reaction was "I doubt this", but thinking about it it doesn't seem implausible. If they need 5 more months of crunch to even finish production of the game, there has to be something seriously lacking/wrong with it in it's current state.
Honestly I've always thought it was pretty obvious that the real version of this game will be on the next gen consoles.
Well, both Xbox One & PS4 have very poor CPU's. The CPU's on PS4 Pro & Xbox One aren't that much better.
Thats what I've been trying to say for months now. I kept getting laughed at because "the pc has graphics options" and they manage fine... apparently.
I think we would've had flying cars to drive if it wasn't for current-gen consoles. Probably impossible to do with the jaguar CPU's. I really wanted to fly a car :/
Lets hope they don't have to downgrade the game even more now.
They very well could. Or at least one of them. Chances are though this will get delayed to February in August
