I wonder what else is coming on Nov. 19th, to perhaps play it on?

Nothing. But on the 20th...

But then the other shoe drops and the actual next gen version of the game still isn’t out

 

[Represent.]

Damn and I thought the 2 TLOU 2 delays were painful

Looks like I'll be getting PS5, Spiderman and Cyberpunk at launch though. Thats a killer line up

 

[asustitan]

Will you be able to play it as backwards compatible on next gen systems?

 

[B-universe]

This is now what?, the third delay?
Anyway, I'll always prefer a great delayed game over a mediocre one on time.

But a pattern seems to be emerging, where devas go on a podcast to reassure the audience that the game will meet the delaine. And then a delay is announced shortly after.

Are CDPR kindly inviting gamers to wait for next-gen?
Does the game perform poorly on current-gen? Are they trying to Shepard gamers to the newer platforms so the hypothetical problems aren't as obvious? Because If the content is locked at this point, it seems the battle has moved to technical front.

Still excited for next week's Night City Wire event. The proof is in the pudding. Let's hope the pudding is great!

 

[manfestival]

Never was really hyped about this game(still not) but I did plan on playing it. Now the game is going to come out during the worst possible time and will compete with a new generation. There is certainly an argument to be made that this will hurt the potential sales of the game.

 

[THEAP99]

This is disappointing to be honest. Delayed till November 19th but it’ll be worth it in the end, especially if our first play through are on the next generation consoles..

November 19th btw, is that too late for it to qualify for thegameawards?

Tlou2 sweeping awards this year I guess

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Let them take as long as they need. I'd rather have a more bug-free launch than waiting on months of patches

 

[JLMC469]

 

[Katajx]

Well that’s fine then, but atleast show me some more gameplay. They don’t have to go and spoil story beats, but I want to see more of how the gameplay systems will work in the game.

Having said that, it’s really feeling like the beginning of this gen. It’s gonna end the way it began: Delay, delay, delay.

 

[asustitan]

Don't Sony's publishing rules require games released after a certain date to be backwards compatible with PS4 games.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Well damn that sucks.

 

[Zephir]

More developer crunch I guess...I wonder how many of them will stay in the company after the game ships...

 

[JOEVIAL]

Will you be able to play it as backwards compatible on next gen systems?

For Series X yes. It's been confirmed to be back compat and Series X enhanced. I don't believe they have announced anything for PS5 yet.

 

[hemo memo]

Don't Sony's publishing rules require games released after a certain date to be backwards compatible with PS4 games.

Not release. Submitted for certification. Which happens way before release.

 

[Skyr]

One wonders if Microsoft has their hands in this.

 

[asustitan]

I'm sure the certifications is what you do for going gold. Cyberpunk is nowhere near that.

 

[NeonDelta]

100% they are going next gen with this. They want all that $$$ from being launch title.

I know it won’t happen but imagine if it ended up as next gen only and all those wit Xbox one x special editions won’t be able to play the game On their cyberpunk console

 

[ManaByte]

One wonders if Microsoft has their hands in this.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm actually glad because I'll play it straight on PS5. Gonna be a busy holiday season for gamers though with AC Valhalla coming out as well. I'm not sure how many people will commit to buying and playing two 100h+ games.

 

[iconmaster]

Soooo close to 2021. Just needs a little second-wave coronavirus push...

 

[mortal]

Just in time for the launch of next gen consoles. I was planning on playing this on PS5 anyway so I'm not bothered by this.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Soooo..PS5 release date November 20th confirmed?!

 

[Elpidio Valdés]

This will be a nice launch title along with Halo Infinite for my future XSX. I'm not even mad.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Absolutely gutted.

was the game I was most looking forward too.

 

[Mister Wolf]

What do we have to look forward to now? Neither Dying Light 2 or Vampire The Masquerade 2 have a release date.

 

[hemo memo]

For Series X yes. It's been confirmed to be back compat and Series X enhanced. I don't believe they have announced anything for PS5 yet.

But this is CDPR. That goes without saying and they’ll probably have an enhancement patch instead of making it a “remaster” to make you buy the same game again.

 

[SantaC]

I wish this game was Witcher 4 instead. The fantasy medieval setting is much more interesting to me.

 

[iorek21]

AC Valhalla/ Watch Dogs Legion are sooo getting an antecipated/delayed release

 

[Paracelsus]

Betting on an even bigger push from black friday and Ampere, I guess.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

motherFUCK.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Xbox series x is launch is November 19th

 

[Aggelos]

 

[MightySquirrel]

F 2020

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

That cunt can go hang himself.

 

[H . R . 2]

they have been announcing release dates since the 2013 reveal trailer. (secret message), they keep disappointing and getting ahead of themselves.
I am sure the game will be just as buggy on the PS5 and XSX, their engine is just the worst. they said the optimisation started day one and I am sure they are still on day 1

 

[Fbh]

Love you CDPR but at this point I'd rather wait to play it on Next gen...which I probably won't be picking up at launch.

 

[theHFIC]

They need The Benz

 

[BatSu]

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Seriously @#$% c@#$%& and their business first approach, even though games ready.

Sep. 17 was a @#$$ pain in the ass to wait, now Nov??!!

 

[NickFire]

Nothing. But on the 20th...

But then the other shoe drops and the actual next gen version of the game still isn’t out

A Friday launch certainly makes sense, but it seems to me the two companies are playing games with each other about pricing. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see one launch on a Thursday in case the other was planning Friday of the same week. I still think this could correlate to a next gen launch date. But I could also be bored waiting for more news and pipe dreaming since E3 was cancelled this year.

 

[AV]

This thing better be pretty fuckin' bug free by the time it's out.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Delay

This was always going to be a next gen game. Current gen version will be 720p 30fps.

Doesnt matter either way, the game is going to be shit and underwhelming. I know, I know, cdproject red, I just have a funny feeling it will be terrible.

Next up, tacked on multiplayer mode.

 

[Birdo]

So this is the launch day for Series X or PS5.

 

[amigastar]

Damn, was looking forward to playing it in September, well what can you do.

 

[Vawn]

So, a PS5 game, then. This and Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a lot of open-world to play at launch. Coming not that far off of Ghost of Tsushima and not long until Horizon Forbidden West too.

I hope this games aren't padded in length to add to gameplay time.

 

[sinnergy]

I’ll be getting it with all its RT glory for Series X.

I’ll probably couldn’t hold off and played the One X version , so I am glad it’s delayed, now I can play it in all it’s glory.

 

[JLB]

Ok, Xbox Series X to get released on that date right?

 

[kraspkibble]

Oh fuck right off!

 

[sobaka770]

Good on CDPR to delay and polish. Make the best game possible just in time for RTX3000 or PS5.

 

[SegaShack]

Love the comments about delays meaning it will be a bug free game. Delays mean it won't be an unfinished game, but I expect bugs with any modern AAA titles due to how complex they are and the fact that people still buy regardless.
