I don't know If you've posted this already; if you did, sorry for double posting It.

Don't mind go ahead and post if you want to. As for that link after reading the game is fully palyable start to finish sometime in 2019 sounds accurate for a release.

As I said before

Cyberpunk 2077 producer Richard Borzymowski said the game still doesn't have all of its assets, and the fixes for the bugs that were discovered in playtesting haven't been implemented yet. However, you can play through the entire game and see the story unfold, which Borzymowski says is important for finishing the game's development. "[Playing through the game] gives you the answers to all of your doubts," he said. "It just feels great."

Also the "we're much, much closer to a release date than we were back then" statement they said a few weeks ago casts doubts. It may release in 2020 or not. But find it hard to believe they intend to constantly advertise the game till 2020.

Yeah it doesn't make sense for them to show at E3 with anything much more than a year to go. They don't want even a year and a half marketing, 12-15 months seems like their ideal window.

I think we're 15 months out from the game, tops, so fall 2019. There's a marketing interest in not leaving a big gap from reveal, as well as one in getting this out in advance of PS5 so they can do what GTA did.

I don’t think people realize how fast modern games can go from Pre-Alpha to Pre-Release, especially considering the sheer size of the dev team at CDPR. Pre-Alpha is almost always the longest and hardest stage of development. Everything after that is a cake walk.

Cgmagonline CD Projekt Red Interview

CD Projekt Red has made a name for themselves by building massive fictional worlds. With The Witcher, and now Cyberpunk 2077, they have crafted an environment teaming with life and possibility. Utilizing the Cyberpunk roleplaying system, Cyberpunk 2077 promises a rich, open world experience that will let you, the player, build the character you want and interact with the city as you see fit. It is a staggering undertaking, but if the demo is anything to go by, they are making this promise a reality.

The skill and talent needed to build these games is staggering, relying on big teams all working together to allow the seamless open world feel alive. At Gamescom 2018 CGMagazine had the chance to sit down with Maciej Pietras, lead cinematic animator for Cyberpunk 2077. He started at CD Projekt Red working on The Witcher and both expansions, before moving over to the Cyberpunk Team. As he outlines the process of building this new experience, Pietras gives a good look at the complexity involved, the attention to detail, and the care put towards the players end experience that make Cyberpunk 2077 such an anticipated game hitting consoles and PC.

Emergent Gameplay and Whether Witcher 3 Influenced Early Demo Reveal

Recently, we had a good, long chat about Cyberpunk 2077with level design Miles Tost. We asked him if there was every any apprehension in the studio about releasing the 50 minute footage to the public at large, in light of the mini-controversy that was kicked up regarding [I]The Witcher 3’s alleged downgrades. According to Tost, that was never really much of a factor. He gave the following response: “The demo gameplay video was recorded from a work in progress version of the game and we were a bit uncertain if we should release it to the general public as we didn’t want to commit to any particular design. A lot can change between now and launch, but you can be certain that we’re not going to release a game we’re not happy with.” So from the sound of it, The Witcher 3’s controversy didn’t play any part in the reveal.

GTA V Mod Takes Inspiration From Cyberpunk 2077

While gamers won't be playing CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077 any time soon, they can get a bit of a taste for it thanks to a new Grand Theft Auto V mod. The newly released mod comes from creator Alex189, and allows players to turn female pedestrians into futuristic cyber-enhanced characters. While inspired by the upcoming role-playing game, the mod is not a direct adaptation. Instead, the creator took some inspiration from classic anime films such as Akira and Ghost in the Shell. There's also a D.VA Overwatch skin included as a bonus.

So despite some doubt about CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 releasing on next generation hardware, it’s indeed slated for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. GamingBolt had a chance to speak to level designer Miles Tost and asked about the challenges faced during development.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Bandai Namco to Distribute in European Countries

CD PROJEKT RED, creator and publisher of The Witcher series of games, and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe are excited to announce their partnership to distribute Cyberpunk 2077 in 24 European countries.

“Our current distribution partnership with BANDAI NAMCO is built on the strong foundation and trust developed during our previous projects,” said Michal Nowakowski, CD PROJEKT’s Member of the Board and SVP of Business Development. “We’ve successfully cooperated on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and I’m convinced BANDAI NAMCO will take good care of Cyberpunk 2077.”

“CD PROJEKT RED has become, in just a few years, one of the leading studios in this sector with a truly innovative approach to each game and we are both proud and excited to confirm that we’ll be part of the Cyberpunk 2077 project,” said Alberto González Lorca, VP Southern Europe & Biz Dev of BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe. “We’re looking forward to working once again with CD PROJEKT RED and distribute another of its games in Europe, providing first-class services to one of the most eagerly awaited games of the coming years.”

Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, open-world RPG set in the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future — Night City. The game follows the story of V, a mercenary on the rise in a world of cyberenhanced street warriors, tech-savvy netrunners and corporate life-hackers. Featuring CD PROJEKT RED’s hallmark concept of choices and consequences, players will face difficult decisions that ripple through the entire game. Winner of over 100 awards at E3 2018, Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the universe of the classic pen & paper RPG system, Cyberpunk 2020.

“CD PROJEKT RED has become, in just a few years, one of the leading studios in this sector with a truly innovative approach to each game and we are both proud and excited to confirm that we’ll be part of the Cyberpunk 2077 project,” said Alberto González Lorca, VP Southern Europe & Biz Dev of BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe.

That's a radical change of tone, compared to that.

Cyberpunk 2077: Everything we know about CD Projekt's next RPG

Cyberpunk 2077 was announced all the way back in 2012, and the past six years of interview snippets paint Cyberpunk 2077 as a behemoth of a game, even bigger that The Witcher 3. Now we've finally seen it, and it looks awesome.

During E3 2018, we were among the first to sit down and watch an hour-long Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demo that showed off a dizzying variety of Cyberpunk's systems, character progression, and combat. The same demo was shown at Gamescom, and recently, it was unveiled for the public. Here's what we learned, plus everything else we know about Cyberpunk 2077.

It's a recent article in polish that was translated on Reddit.

He mentions it in the video.

Also a Turkish site leaked? info about 2019 at the 2:12 mark.

It was from the Turkish publisher of Cyberpunk 2077 who quickly deleted it.

Cyberpunk 2077 Recent Conference Call

Cyberpunk 2077 aims to be as refined as Red Dead Redemption 2 at launch

Link - https://www.vg247.com/2018/11/23/cyb…n-2-at-launch/

CD Projekt Red says that the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 has taught it that it needs to publish extraordinary games?. The studio behind The Witcher series has said that it has set aside time to patch out bugs before Cyberpunk 2077's release, because it pays to be among the best?.

Sorry to tired and lazy right now to post as usual with links embedded in text.

2019, if it is January 2019 we are talking about, is ok. I can wait that long, I am a patient guy.

CDpr never announces announcements. But they do announce no announcement!

We're looking forward to seeing all the reveals and announcements during this year's @thegameawards, however we're not going to be showing anything there ourselves. We’ll share more details about @cyberpunkgame when we’re ready.

I hope that by "as refined as RDR2" - they don't mean they intend to emulate that atrociously bad interface or inferior facial technology.

RDR2 is an impressive game in some ways, certainly - which is probably what we should expect when 1600+ people have been working on it for so long, but considering what those people could do - under the right circumstances - the game isn't very impressive at all.

But that's just me.

Their marketing has become a little lazy and self-aggrandizing lately.

It's not just you. I mean, perhaps it is if you're talking about actual RDR2 players.
In my case it's all those let's play youtube videos that have antishills effect on me.

Well, I actually own the game on the supposedly "best" platform (XB1X) - and the controls are among the worst I've ever experienced for an AAA game.

Beyond incredible production values and an amazing presentation - it's really not that good a game. It suffers heavily from archaic design principles - much like all Rockstar games - and I would consider games like Kingdom Come much, much more impactful in terms of taking the genre forward.

Don't get me wrong, it's a cool game - and it's a good game.

But the 10/10 ratings are as ridiculous as the 2/10 ratings are for FO76.

I don't know why people absolutely must exaggerate on this scale - but there it is.
