It’s not a trap, the portal is what it is. Everything the WiiU controller wasn’t. The portal works great inside or outside, on the road or anywhere. I love the portal, barely touched my tv since I own the portal. And that says something.
@leucocyte I'm with you, this will be a long road. And unfortunately that what needs to be fixed lies so deep in the structure of the game itself that it probably will also change the current version which works ok on pc, from what I heard. Bizarre that you release a game and then needs to be overhauled completely to make it a worthy title (although there are plenty of examples from the past).
But I don't know how this works, a company makes a huge profit, millions, and can cover all costs but with these bad reviews I'm not sure if people still want to work there, is that even an strange thought? CEO's may have decided to release like they did it now. But they need talented people to fix it and now go back, deep into the structure of the game, to make it even slightly better, as it now seems. This is not something easy to achieve. This is stuff that you get together up front. What an extremely weird situation.
I also like to point out to the fact that upgrades of hardware, like the ps4pro and also xbox, bring up a strange landscape for developers. Because you cannot rule out owners of base systems. Those people also must play games that come out for their systems, it is still current gen.
This is situation is created by Sony and Microsoft (and Nintendo also did this with their new3DS, tho that never really took off). Developers now need to make choices whether they go for the upgraded systems or for the entire generation with a slight improvement for the upgraded console versions. CDPR apparently forgot to make the right decisions. They could have released for PS4pro exclusively. That was also an option. Although it would be strange that a game that was in development for so long can't be handled properly by base systems.
All those choices are going to make this fix a long road. And it is what you state, probably will delay a native ps5 version. I hope I'm wrong but for now I think this company is in big trouble. It would be wise to make a statement.
Plus this will also hurt the rest of the industry, people will think twice before pre-ordering triple A titles again. People are learning, people aren't that stupid. And since youtube and all the game channels will be very cautious with future releases. So the impact of what is happening now is way bigger then just hurting the reputation of CDPR. It's a shame.
Screw the new games, I’m having a lot of fun playing Mad Max again. Dystopian, cars, fights, third person and some kind of leveling system so this is also an rpg. Going mad....
Can you imagine that this CDPR CEO declared they were delaying because they wanted the best scores and won’t accept anything under 9.5 (or some number above 9). I really don’t see why this dude declared this while he could have see this coming. This man is totally uncapable. I feel sorry for the people who worked on this game. And what about Keanu Reeves. I wonder if he would happy being in a film where they forgot to remove all the blue screens or something. This whole situation is just unbelievable.
Considering this game was designed with PS4 in mind it is strange to see how this turned out. They should have taken the Breath Of The Wild route. That game was designed for the WiiU but was also a launch title for the Switch. And these two games look exactly the same. Or don't release at all on last gen. But since there are not too much ps5 consoles in the wild this would cost them a lot of money due to the fact the hype dims eventually. So this is all seems money talk and strange management. Tho i have no real problems playing CP on my base ps4 it looks really terrible, like there is a lot of grease on my glasses or something. While other big games like TLOU2 and GOW pop out of my screen. The difference is that those games really make my ps4 work, I can hear that cause the fan is going crazy. But not with Cyberpunk. In my opinion there is a lot of room for improvement but they should have tested this longer. Fact is that this eats up a lot of hype for the game and I think that can never be your intention as a developer. Very strange indeed.
i was tempted by the viking theme and decided to buy this one at launch and go for the ultimate edition. yes i had fun with origins and odyssey. but valhalla is so buggy and the game even froze two times now. and it happens more often that you see that the game is stopping during a sequence for a moment too long. very weird. but what is not ok is that i can't download the Way Of The Bezerker quest via the ubisoft site and that ubisoft connect gives an error code when you try to reach it via the in game menu. also, you should get contracts from the little merchant in your village but when talking too him you get that same error. all in all it ruins the game for me. while it definitely has a lof of potential. maybe even more then odyssey, which always felt as a super large dlc pack for origins in a way. first and last time i bought a ubisoft game at launch for the full price......
Don't move it. i'm really looking forward to get my hands on Horizon, but i'll get Zelda WiiU also at the date of release. I'll push any Switch decision back till the end of this year. Nintendo has to proof me something with their Switch after i gave them my WiiU money and they screwed the whole thing up.
