Couldn't agree less with this post. They are nothing like other companies from what they have done so far.

+1
No. It's EAActiblizzUbiBungieWarner brigade. Would add Microsoft but they saved themselves by cancelling the product in time. Soon we'll know if RSI is the part of it. :D

I am not saying they should not innovate. Neither I am telling they should play it safe. If you look at my 1st post in this thread you'll see I highlighted the part of the text that worries me most: "…than originally intended".

That famous teaser first depiciting the name "Cyberpunk 2077" is from 2013 (for those who don't recall it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P99qJGrPNLs). Three years ago!! And though the teaser doesn't show gameplay elements, back in 2013 (or even before that, since the teaser was first shown in January, 2013) CDPR surely already had concepts about the game, what it should be, what it should not. A teaser like that isn't made on top of nothing.

More than 3 years has passed and they came to say the game will have a magnitude "much greater" than The Witcher 3… Is that really needed?

The only piece of advice I can give'em is (I know I'm nobody to advise them of something, but here it goes): CDPR, please don't lose your focus!

Also: careful the words you use. Like "revolutionary". Ok, a game can be bigger than another, better than another, but "revolutionary" is a word that must be used cautioulsy. Even by PR folks.

All I can say to that is thankfully I don't share your thoughts on the subject.

I think pushing things to its fullest is the only way. Also I don't see how they could lost focus when they are trying to push what can be done.

This isn't an EA owned company, hmmmm Bioware. where all they have to do is show up and meet numbers.

I am not a pessimist, I'm just being skeptic this time.

They, being CDProJektRed have released three games. Each better than the other.
Always supporting them and releasing a better game than the one before it.

I am not sure why you feel this why, but like I said before I am not here to change your mind.

I don't even like this setting and I am excited for it.

The stuff about bigger and revolutionairy is just usual PR crap. I do believe Projekt Red will try to make a better than they did so far. They always did. Taking the Witcher series as an example, I think they'll mostly try to give players a fresh and enhanced experience that has a deep story. I'm hyped for the game, but I'll settle for very well crafted instead of revolutionary. It's not everyday that we get really revolutionary games and in spite of being my GOTY of last year, The Witcher 3 wasn't really a revolution and more a culmination of a lot of stuff that wasn't so well handed in other games combined with a memorable worldbuilding.

Their games have consistently grown in scale and quality over the last years. Even the smaller Dlc, show actual improvement in quality and listening to feedback.
How about we make a bet about how Blood and Wine will turn out?

Their marketing (which is the only thing I was referring to obviously) is exactly like that of the other big shots. Lots of hyperbole and some… "optimistic" trailers as far as the graphical quality of the final game is concerned is right on par with EActiblizzUbiTake2.
But I'm not saying that's bad. As I said it's just an industry standard. They all do it to generate hype. I mean let's be realistic here… what, if not hype, are they trying to generate with this "better, bigger, more revolutionary" statement?
If you are saying they are "nothing like other companies" then are you saying that CDP has no marketing? Really?

Fully agreed :)

I know this. I didn't even imply that! And now it's too late. Only them (CDPR) can change my mind now :)

I'm excited too, though I like the setting :)

Well, the good news is there will be a lot of customization options, so wolfgrim can create his Cyberpunk Lumberjack. :p
Anyway, I've spotted a thread on Neogaf, that does a pretty good job of summarizing what info there is so far…it seems there are some pretty interesting features. Revolutionary? Depends how you define it, unless you're a communist( 100% then). :p

Now that you feel you have made yourself clear, as you were not clear to me before.

They market what they produce to me. Could TW3 been better? I don't think so.

Anyways, when the little company that could does what the impossible and becomes the KING.

If you are trying to say the hype machine is starting. Then say the hype machine is starting…..

What little company? CDP has been a big publisher/distributor in Eastern Europe for over two decades. They have over 300 employees between two studios (with more studios opening in the near future) and are publicly listed and traded at the Warsaw stock exchange with a market capitalization of approximately $640 million.
OK, sure, they are a good ways smaller than EActiblizzUbi but their size isn't exactly "little" either :) .

OK, sorry about not being clear enough possibly. That is basically the core of my statement, yes, and while it is an industry standard, the hyperbolic nature of such statements like "better, bigger, more revolutionary" just annoys me these days. I'm pretty sick and tired of the hype machine game ;) .

You are going on numbers?

They have released how many games? Three the last time I counted. So if I go off of your stats the little company that could had done so.

So back to my point, CD has every right to hype their product, if we go off the numbers showing by other posters in this thread. They have proven they always deliver.

Ok, here it goes, from a thread at Neogaf:

World:

Tech advancement went hand in hand with the decay of society. Body augmentations invented to serve society simply multiplied the problems, and sometimes lead to mayhem on the streets. New inventions led to addictions and poverty became an even larger problem.
"Cyberpunk's story takes place all over the world, but we're going to focus on it's most characteristic venue - Night City". Older elements of buildings will be mixed in with more modern structures.
Players will have a chance to visit places well known from "Cyberpunk 2020", including a combat zone completely taken over by gangs, the legendary Afterlife joint and the nostalgic Forlorn Hope.
Npc's talk in original language, player will require translating implant, it's level affecting quality of translation.

Format of the story:

"Players should be able to choose how deep they want to enter the story or the plot…plenty of optional content for players, spanning everything from "new quests, characters, areas,".

Focus on the main character and his/her survival.

Character classes:

Known as Roles: Cop, Corporate (businessman), Fixer (dealer-type), Media, Netrunner (hacker), Nomad (gypsy warrior), Rockerboy (rebel rockers!), Solo (assassin) and Techie (renegade doctors and mechanics).

Character customization:

" each character role will offer a set of special skills that will impact your stats in many different ways, game where character customization will be strongly tied with the plot.
"We will have several features that allow you to create your [visual] style, and your style will affect gameplay, storyline and relationships between characters,”

Entertainment in 2077:

"Braindance"…digital recordings that let viewers fully experience ( through all senses) events in their mind, but has also incited widespread social problems.

Misc: "We're impressed with Fallout 4's rollout. We're going to do something similar. We're going to wait until we can show off a very meaningful piece of it.
Will not be at E3 2016 or announced before 2017.

Unless they're deliberately lying, then yes… this is crazy ambitious.
It will be definitely bigger, perhaps not in size, but more dense and with more content. As for "revolutionary" features, what stands out the most is character customization affecting the whole game.

Nothing I have seen is revolutionary but that don't stop this from being their greatest success so far.
Even if they fail I expect this to be a game I really enjoy anyway.

Eactiblizzenibunbiwarner, to be more correct. Typical name in a Zulu tribe. :P

That list sounds like a proper Fallout 4 game :D (except less apocalypse)

Well, I have to say it doesn't really sound that great.

I am afraid that when they make even bigger, and even more customizations there is a huge risk that the story, gameplay and quality of exploration will suffer, and those are the most important things to me.
