Cyberpunk - CD Project Red

Preordered this morning from smyths for 60 and noticed it's 55 to collect in store. What an absolute bargain.

Saying that, wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed again.

When is this due to drop?

I'm gonna try stroll in around 11-11.30, pick up both. Hoping I beat the people waiting for the store to open and the people heading at lunch. Go home with my shiny new PS5 and play a PS4 game

Zero-Cool · 17-09-2020 3:43pm

Just to confirm.

Honestly these guest roles are never good.

Obviously I can Google, but uhhh, who is she? Someone relatively "famous" I'm presuming?

Same question, it would have taken less effort to Google than it was to type this post but I realised I don't really care....

I wouldn't call her famous, more well known among the gaming Industry. She used to work for IGN and presented some of their shows but moved to Funhaus and the Inside Gaming Team years ago. She had small NPC roles in After Party and the latest Gears of War game.
She also has a weekly podcast with Troy Baker, Mike Bithell and Austin Wintory called Play, Watch, Listen

She's an internet personality for lack of a better explanation.
Currently works for RoosterTeeth, under their FunHaus brand.

I like Lana, but I can't help thinking these cameo roles in games never please gamers and only end up with the person getting abuse instead of praise!

Hopefully it goes well though, she's getting plaudits so far, from what I can see on Twitter

Jessica Chobot in ME3 vibes. I remember the internet losing their shít about that, for what was essentially a nothing character.

Not to be creepy , I know its more a representation of who she is and not a clone copy. But isn't she quite curvy in real life and the modelling there is quite thin? Not that it effects anything.

Just if I was represented in game I would like myself to by myself even in regards to weight. At the end of the day won't effect the character giving the quest.

Zero-Cool · 18-09-2020 8:41am

I had heard about youtubers being NPC's in the game, nothing against it, Death Stranding had a bunch of famous people Kojima admired and I thought it was a nice touch. I like how they can be unique to life path as well, extra incentive for different playthroughs if you wanted to come across one you were a fan of.

She's a legit journalist. She's done loads of work behind the scenes for various companies and prefers working on production rather than being in front of the camera.

Yeah in fairness she does know her stuff. I can't wait to play this game, we've waited so long.The question now is should i wait for the full next gen version or have I waited too long already

She's also prettier IRL than the face model they've come up with. This kind of thing is a trend in a lot of games but didn't expect it from CDPR. Hard to say if it was a design choice or just not much effort put in. Happy for her though, seems like a milestone to pass. Just hope she's comfortable with the nude mods eventually. :rolleyes:

Yeah I follow her on youtube and she is really passionate about all forms of games media, say she is delighted about being included in the game.

I know if I ended up in a game as an NPC , I would be delighted as you are effectively immortalized

ERG89 · 18-09-2020 1:57pm

Don't care who is and isn't appearing in a game as long as their involvement doesn't prevent others from looking at the game objectively. I have felt that CD Projekt Red are in a position where Rockstar were with the gaming press/influencers a few years ago, a bit safeguarded from criticism.

1060 for recomended

shrewdness · 18-09-2020 5:49pm

Serious amount of gangs in there, the normal folk must be in constant fear

Homelander · 18-09-2020 5:52pm

I don't know who comes up with game requirements but they are almost always absolute nonsense.

RX470 is minimum yet the 1060 is recommended?

Seriously, a 3200G is the recommended CPU? A low end APU?

It is the same with most games, the minimum/recommended requirements hardly ever make sense.

johnny_ultimate · 18-09-2020 7:27pm

Most interesting thing is SSD as recommended - reckon we’ll be seeing that much, much more now that it’s about to become standard for consoles.

I thought the exact same Johnny , when I mentioned it to one of my buddies. Similair to the dvd being popularised by the PS2 in a way

Homelander · 18-09-2020 8:06pm

The last good few years most gaming PC's and laptops come with SSD's as standard. I wouldn't say there are too many people left with only mechanical boot drives in their gaming PC's at this point.

Thankfully they are much more affordable now, I got my nvme 1tb for just under £100.

I have an SSD for years, but it’s small and primarily for the OS alas so no space for games really. I will be updating my motherboard in a while and throwing in an NVME for sure, but I reckon there’s still a bit of time to go until a lot of PC users have large SSDs with the space for a couple of big 70GB games.

As said, it’s definitely a bit of a shift in approach to see it as ‘recommended’ on a game of this scale - not a bad one by any means, just probably there will be a year or two of it gradually becoming the norm.

Thecageyone · 18-09-2020 10:26pm

I have a 500GB nvme as my main with a 1TB HDD as back up - that's where lesser played games, video files and all my images go. Obviously the OS is on the nvme, also the more hungry programs like Lightroom and photoshop, then I stick my most played games on there. I have a spare slot that I plan to stick a 1TB SSD into, that'll be for all other games, atm they sit on the HDD, not an issue as they would be games that don't have long load times

Mr Crispy · 19-09-2020 12:34am

Taken from here;

Please note that the game is both graphics- and processor-intensive, so make sure these components meet or exceed the minimum requirements. Also note that the minimum is created with Low settings and 1080p gaming in mind and Recommended with High and 1080p.

Thecageyone · 19-09-2020 2:39am

The average gamer is still running 1080p and lower to mid range cards, they're trying to suit everyone I guess which is good. it should never be a case that the min recomended is beyond the average gamer's spec, it would be virtual suicide

titan18 · 19-09-2020 2:21pm

Was expecting recommended to be more like a 2060 or 1070 tbh. 1060 is quite nice

Robert ninja · 19-09-2020 2:22pm

People are surprised? This is coming out on 8th gen consoles right? PS4 came out in 2014 with hardware that was roughly 2 years behind the PC hardware at that time. So the game is releasing on effectively 8 year old hardware. It's about time they showed reasonable specs.

Any chance a 770GTX would run it?

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB-vs-Nvidia-GTX-770/3646vs2174

720P 30FPS-cap (no vsync) I don't see how it couldn't at least handle that however AFAIK 770 doesn't support Direct X 12. Still angry they didn't choose Vulkan. So you might be completely out of luck there like me. I'm hoping my RX480 through Proton compatibility runs it. I might be building a newer computer once AMD releases new products so I may delay playing until I have a stronger system and the compatibility/performance reports come in.

Cordell · 19-09-2020 7:41pm

770 is a DX12 GPU, but under the minimum requirements for VRAM.

Robert ninja · 19-09-2020 8:01pm

Ah my bad. Read some wrong info then. If it's short on VRAM though would 720p not help with that? I don't know what resolutions these requirements are based on. I assume 1080p.

Cordell · 19-09-2020 8:09pm

I don't know, it depends, but last time my GPU was severely short of VRAM the framerate was in the single digits. Some of the memory usage depends on the textures resolution that are loaded, and that doesn't necessarily scale with the render resolution.

Thecageyone · 19-09-2020 8:26pm

Should be fine with my 1660, but might just upgrade to something like a 1080 at some point

Hopefully one can lower that setting in the config files then. I've been able to do that for some games.

Does anybody reckon the features they rolled back will feature in the next gen versions? I say this with the assumption that they cut stuff like third party cut scenes as it was technically demanding as opposed to immersion breaking like they claim.

I got interested enough to attempt to do a script for a short video, not Cyperpunk related, some other way. Some science fiction elements were part of it. Suddenly, what was going to happen to the person (I had that allready worked out) was less relevent than all the other effects. I had dialogue coming out of my ears from the boardroom down. I wanted to intergrate that into it.

It's the change in professions, it's what happens to you as a lifer under control that drives these emotional third party scenes we have seen.

They have new story writers in, people that want to write for this, people that might want to third party develop and they know where they are going. They want to keep them happy and on the long finger most of all in my opinion.

In future games they might keep third party cut sences as introductions to class's, career change being such a life changeing event they require some backround and nearly a new introduction.

The crunch is on, according to Bloomberg (may be behind a paywall).

J. Marston · 30-09-2020 2:02am

It's a month of paid overtime. What's the big deal?

Long term crunch isn't good but this isn't that.

EVERY industry has crunch. You ever worked retail during Christmas? Or during times like black Friday? How about hotel staff during the same period? and on and on. None of them choose that either. It's a mandatory part of the job.

It's not pleasant but its a reality of life. The constant crunch the gaming industry is infamous for is despicable but its becoming rarer......and this isn't that. The game is weeks away from launch so they need to do some overtime to get it past the post.

It's not a big deal.

johnny_ultimate · 30-09-2020 3:07am

Here's CD Projekt last May pledging there'd be no mandatory crunch. They've broken a clear pledge to staff, simple as that. https://kotaku.com/as-cyberpunk-2077-development-intensifies-cd-projekt-r-1834849725

Is a month or so of paid crunch that bad? Compared to some horror stories, no. I don't think anyone would object to there being some extra work required to get a project over the line. But forcing staff to do six-day weeks so for over a month, after pledging not too, is frankly pretty crappy - and I don't think any company should resort to it. And all this in the best case scenario that staff haven't been working intensely for months or even years already.

Mr Crispy · 30-09-2020 3:12am

Let's not forget either that it was CDPR bosses who approached Schreier with that announcement of how they were turning over a new leaf. Oh, and the Bloomberg story says some employees have been working mandatory overtime (including nights) for nigh on a year, not a month.
