Smells like serious game development issues in here.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if this was a marketing move by Microsoft. Yeah might be a bit conspiracy theory, but if they got them to delay the game so the Series X version is ready for launch and paid to have it done sooner, Thats a big marketing point for Microsoft. Halo on Series X and CyberPunk on Series X is a nice 1 2 punch.

Nintendo: Phew, thank you Corona virus, you give us a handy excuse to justify our extremely shitty 2020 lineup, especially compared to every other developer
Other developers: Hold my beer

Quite the opposite. The more a game gets closer to the release date, the more developers want their game to be the best as it can be which usually results in crunch.
Surely less developer crunch by allowing an extra two months?!
I think I remember someone posting about some additional features that they’re still deciding on months before the original release date. Features can’t just suddenly be added this late into development. They’re planned in the early stages of it that’s why ot brought confusion.

...He's right though. As of right now CDP have said that at the launch of the next gen systems the current gen game will get a patch but an actual full next gen version will come later. Unless I missed it (and you can source it), we still haven't been told which is actually considered a part of "Smart Delivery".
Jason apparently now doesn't know the difference between native support and BC.
This means that everyone saying "cool, I'll now just get the next gen version right away" are in for a bad surprise because the only version you'll be finding is the current gen one. At least it'll be patched, though.
'Buy a brand new current gen console' when the next gen ones will be out at that point is definitely going to kill a lot of those console preorders. MS can save this with a XSX Cyberpunk console.

Man, I was just talking about this with a friend last night. I am really excited to play through this and this is a huge bummer for me. But I get it, and I'd rather have a polished game out the door than have to wait on patches to fix things.

You could already tell where this was going when they delayed it to september. With ambitions like this, it calls for next gen to handle the heat. Base versions are gonna be so gimped its not even funny. Good thing this will be a launch title for next gen, in case Sony shits the bed with their lineup I´ll most likely go with this.

well the good thing is that cyberpunk could have the worst gameplay and stil get a 10/10 for me probably on worldbuilding, storylines, quests, sidquests alone

A great sadness washes over us.
Time enough for that GPU upgrade to arrive at least.
Yep this is what I'm doing and it actually makes me happy that I can finally upgrade and not be blind sided.

I don't find it confusing. Since it's not a series X game it will be the one version with the x enhancements as well as the benefits of the emulator that automatically applies things like auto HDR in applicable titles. Since this game will already support HDR and higher resolutions of the one X you will get those since the series X will simply be running One X code.
When the series X version is done, you will get that version of the game which is built for the series X taking full advantage of the features of series X like Ray Tracing.

Like Far Cry 4, they need some good console release to not get destoryed by people.

if they would just have come out and said the delay is due to Corona delaying it for them. They would probably take less shit for this lol. But what a odd release date.. If it releases before the ps5 and new xbox are out, its just a shitty situatoin to be in?

Yeah this game is really looking like a next-gen purchase at this point.

Except you have no idea if this is actually the case and are just assuming based on nothing.

How is that based on nothing? That's what they said.
"However, when it comes to a proper, full-blown next-gen version, that's going to come later, we haven't announced when and I don't have a new comment here on that."

And where in that are they saying that people get the full blown next gen version with smart delivery rather than the patched version being the smart delivery one?

I'm in that unreasonable, "cut off my nose to spite my face" phase at the moment. Like, just go ahead and fucking delay it to next year. I don't care. *stomps off*

Because it supports smart delievry. That's what smart delievery is. It downloads whatever code is best for your machine. As the code won't be there at launch it will download the one X code. And when the code is there for series X, it will download that code.
Edit: it that wasn't the case it wouldn't be labeled as supporting smart delievry.

If theres going to be a PS5 enhanced edition that isn't a free patch I'm going to have to cancel my PS4 pre order.

Again, that's what you're assuming. Unless you can source CDPR saying people will get the patch then the full blown next gen version with smart delivery?
