It is, of course, worth noting that devs at CDPR were already crunching to meet that previous deadline. Today’s announcement doesn’t mention crunch, but I’d be surprised if staff weren’t in for another three weeks of gruelling conditions to get this thing out the door.
God I hate the industry
lol right? Like the entire genre went through at least 3 different paradigm shifts while it was in development. Half Life changed how narrative was approached entirely. Halo made FPS games really really viable on consoles (and the god damn 2 weapon limit/health recharge thing), then the cover based shooter craze. It was a relic of the past by the time it came out. What's funny is there's been a bit of a renaissance of "Classic" FPS the past few years with Dusk, Ion Maiden, Amid Evil. If it never came out and then got "revived" a few years ago while leaning into and embracing the 90s design principles it could have been a sleeper hit. Weird how that works.
And yeah, If people are expecting that kind of detail out of Cyberpunk they're going to be really really disappointed. I'm just kind of hoping for an open world game that's as detailed and interesting as The Witcher 3. I've never been one to overhype games to myself though, lol.
The only games I overhype are playstation exclusives like gran turismo, the last of us and uncharted, but they always seem to deliver.
lol. I will admit I am a sucker for From Soft and literally bought a PS4 just to play Bloodbourne. (And later Persona 5, which I still am working through)
I am the ultimate playstation fanboy, I own everything from a ps1, PS2, ps3, ps4 and psp, despite living in a third world country and living off 400 USD a month. I think the ps5 will have to wait though, it's close to 800USD in my country
Damn, yeah I'd definitely wait on that. I waited for a few years until I got my PS4 in the states since I mainly play stuff on PC anyways.
