I'm not understanding why if it's console versions that are holding it back why they can't release the PC version first?

Contracts, Microsoft and sony would never allow that.

And if the game is shit, the word of mouth would kill its sales on consoles. But shitpostings aside, I don't believe the game is going to be horrible.

Probably because the actual reason is because Microsoft and Sony want this game as a launch title for their consoles and they don't want PC getting it first out of fear of missing out on potential sales for said consoles as a result.

>it doesn't matter that CD Projekt Red is staffed by Americans now
Why would they staff it with Americans and not say, the Japs?
Cyberpunk Weeb shit with big breasted anime women a la Nier would sell faster than hotcakes. Who wants to see trannies and men in drag?

Also, a pronoun system? Guess I'm going to the high seas for this game...

Why not a big tittied futa? You'd have the best of both worlds.
 
because its a lie, there is no way in hell the game is so busted that it cant run on current hardware, the ps5-xbox specs were finished what january? at that point the fucking morons at cdpr should have know what they were working on. this game is seriously broken
Not necessarily.

I don't remember where I heard this, I think it was an episode of The Giant Bombcast back when it was good, but certification can fail for a number of petty, arbitrary reasons. The example in the podcast was Bastion. One of the failing grades was something like "failing to engage the player within X amount of seconds of the game starting". The Bastion devs had to argue for an exception because they were technically off by a few seconds. They got it eventually. Another one they mentioned was whether or not the game crashed if there is an official peripheral plugged in. So if the game crashes if someone tried the play the game with a guitar controller or a dance mat, that was also a cert fail.

There was also the 360 version of Bully where the game worked fine, but on the home release was completely broken, leading to speculation that somehow the wrong version was shipped.

If the game is "busted", it could be that some stupid thing like that and they have to test the entire game again.

Who wants to see trannies and men in drag?
Zelda fans?

From what I gather it's Stadia that's delaying shit, they have to adapt to a whole new pipeline and way of doing things in order to get it working well. Originally, 2077 was supposed to come out on Stadia in 2021, far after the other platforms launched but suddenly it got moved up to the launch date with other consoles/PC due to a new deal CDPR inked with google. Stadia is linux based so now the entire game had to be suddenly ported to linux just for Stadia. There's also rumors being thrown around that CDPR failed cert process for Sony/microsoft but I doubt it, they would have had access to the new Xbox/PS5 for a long time by now.

If true that's dumb as shit. Risking thousands of refunds and pre orders to cater to the twenty or so people that are going to buy CP2077 on Stadia.

Stadia? Something that's probably not even going to be around in another year? I hope it's not something that dumb.

Imagine risking a PR disaster instead of just saying "fuck it, we're not releasing on Stadia"

Except the game hasn't been ported to Linux natively. Not to mention the game uses DirectX12 exclusively. I am not sure if they would have a Vulkan backend for the Stadia version only or if they would be using translation layers to convert the APIs.

Google would pay out the ass for 2077 on their platform at launch, I'm sure that CDPR management just wanted the money and didn't care about the details.

I'm not sure exactly how it works but the fact is that getting 2077 to work on Stadia would probably be a massive PITA esp considering the original target launch was in 2021.

I've been poking around more and found a reddit post from a dev from a few weeks ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comm...ier_i_asked_a_couple_of_cdpr_devs_if/g8bxk68/

Day 1 patch is most likely going to be quite massive, the game was rushed and the announcement of "gold" came as a surprise for most of the team.

It is unlikely the game will be 100% done and polished even including the day 1 patch. The game would easily need at least 4-5 more months of work - counting crunch

The technology behind the game is not bad actually the rendering and engine lighting teams did a great job and the visual quality is quite high, although the RedEngine is a bit mangled the game is not terrible - technically speaking - but it could have used more time to be properly shipped.

Jason Schreier later confirmed the dev was real.

To be totally honest, if I hadn't preordered the game for the insane price of 25 dollars, I would have canceled my preorder today and just waited until people confirmed it's good. This is coming from a guy who explicitly built a new PC because I wanted to run this game at the highest settings.

Given how dumb and shitty 2020 has been so far, a major AAA game release being delayed for the proverbial redheaded stepchild of videogame consoles is totally believable to me. Also aggravating as fuck, but that should go without saying, fuck Google and Alphabet right in the eye sockets.
