Red Dead has police, bounty hunters and all sorts of crazies chasing you about.
I hope CDPR can get their shit back together because those kinds of comments don't inspire future purchases.

he should've just ignored that question lmao. You know you don't have an excuse and yet you still try to justify it...the game needs anything but bad press now.

I mean they should considering those games came out years later and had way bigger dev teams.

You can see how it would have turned out if they had implemented it in the racing side quests. One look in the rearview mirror or the minimap: You can see opponents crashing, getting stuck, and teleporting right behind you onto the track every 5 seconds. Chasing only worked in the scripted missions.
This is simply not true.
Most of the leads on CP77 were the same leads on Wicher 3. Just watch the credits.

Yet Grand Theft Auto games have been doing it for how long now? It's OK though, I think police chases are dumb and the cops shouldn't just magically show up to get you.

He could have just said 'It's a futuristic game with a lot surveillance with cameras and satellites all other the place and you cannot realistically escape, so we simply decided to let you play and escape instead.'

Unbelievable. A gaming employee admitting sketchy workmanship in their game after only 1 year.
Typically, they all shut their mouths and dont say anything bad about their games until a game site does a retrospective on a game from 10 years ago.

Breath of the wild also has a better open world and was developed for the Wii u at the time the Witcher 3 was being developed. Fallout 4 also has a better open world and was released the same year.
Cdpr is amazing at some things and mediocre at others like every developer out there, not shaming then, just don't understand why they were so overrated. Maybe because they had a fantastic pr department.

I think the game is pretty good, I'm waiting to do a new play through once some major DLCs arrive.... but what is going on there? Felt like CDPR churned out free and massive paid DLCs quite quickly. for The Witcher 3, I get the covid difficulties and all, but still.. I wonder how much content and improvements we can actually expect with this game or if they've moved on to the next game.

Sasko was clearly pissed cause of that user on twitch spamming the question about the chases over and over, but he simply shouldn't have answered him and most importantly he should have avoided those silly comparisons that made the whole thing look even more grotesque. It's obvious some of the game's dynamics weren't ready when it came out. Pointing that out after one year and this coming from a team member is quite the false move. But I bellieve the game will redeem itself next year.

They really need to overhaul the game badly.
It's such a wonderfully well realized city that is very unique and fun to explore, but the systems at play altogether just don't help sell the city like it should. It'd be a waste to let such a well designed city go to waste.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Car chases play out in action movies all the time.

Imo police not giving a fuck and only shooting at you when they happen to be near the player would fit the dystopian style of the game.
Gangs however should hunt you down in their hood quite fiercely. And remember you doing shit, so you will have to avoid certain blocks. ahh so many possibilities with this game.

Cyberpunk would have been a lot better if they went with Unreal 4.

Yea, we expected it to be good. It's very clear they implemented a "police system" last fucking minute of development.

I know they had to release it because they were bleeding money, GOG storefront in shambles, etc etc but it’s so unfortunate they couldn’t have delayed it another few years. This game had so much potential, and the dev team got overwhelmed with it by deadlines set by the suits.

Probably because it has nothing to do with what actually happens in the game

Bro, it's a crime-ridden open-world game where you play as a criminal. If they couldn't implement a basic police system that games from 12 years ago had, they deserve to be mocked.

It turns out there are police chases in Elden Ring."He brings up the upcoming Sonic open world game and Elden Ring as open world games that won’t have police chases.''

You mean every open world game needs to copy GTA? Since when has that been a rule?
To be fair, whether or not it lives up to the genre, Cyberpunk is supposed to be an open-world RPG.
The examples he used were stupid -- because those aren't even in the same genre.
The counter-examples mentioned in the video / this thread (Watch Dogs, Saints Row, etc.) are also stupid. Those are all open-world action games built atop the GTA formula, which has the wanted system is one of its core gameplay mechanics.
But if we start looking at games in the same supposed genre, you realize that, actually, none of them have anything resembling a wanted system or a police-chase mechanic.
The closest any of these games have to something like a wanted system is faction / affinity systems where you can piss groups off and make them auto-aggro you. But that's not at all the same thing as actual "police chases" where the AI will work together and track you to the ends of the fucking map.

- Guards don't chase you on horseback through the Skyrim wilderness
- The brotherhood, NCR, etc. don't chase you through the wasteland in Fallout games
- None of the private military / private police in The Outer Worlds chase you
- No wanted system or chases in Deus Ex (the closest game in setting / ambition to CP)
- Etc. etc.

Elden Ring needs to work out a lore friendly way to put police chases in the game."He brings up the upcoming Sonic open world game and Elden Ring as open world games that won’t have police chases.''

Well that's the problem IMO. Instead of making a single player RPG like Deus Ex (or Witcher if you will) they went for the GTA audience- including GTA Online.

Feels like a really dumb thing to pick on.
Based on the game itself, if you consider Deus Ex or The Wicther 3 to be RPGs, then this is also an RPG. Thats really all that matters.
