But you do realize that it's a positive information, don't you? If they would be able to finish CP77 on schedule, as planned (and release it in 2015) then it means that their work is much more advanced than we all think it is. It means the game will have to come out somewhere in 2016, but it also means it'll be more polished too, or - in worst possible scenario - at least will not be rushed to meet the timetable. It also means that we shouldn't be afraid of CP77 making its appearance in 2017.
Same, as much as I respect CDPR for the way they do game, I hope the gameplay will be great, because the witcher was pretty boring when it comes to action...My concerns are "how" it will look and play.
RPG Site: How much cross-contamination is there between the people working on Witcher and Cyberpunk? Are you all one big team that will merely move on to that next year?
Teixeria: Oh, We're trying to work on both projects at the time. I'm actually not allowed to talk about Cyberpunk, but... Well, Cyberpunk, it's going on. It's obviously still in the fairly early stages. Right now everybody is focused on The Witcher, we're still trying to close this out. As soon as we're finished, though, we're very much looking forward to really pushing the spec forwards - and show it to the public, too, as it's been quite a long time!
Just bringing this in for you
RPG Site: At this point, I'm guessing the game is content complete...
Teixeria: ...The funny thing is, we've just released that pre-order trailer, The Sword of Destiny, and even in that... everybody keeps telling me how great it looks, I've been getting a lot of positive feedback. All I can see, though... ahh, this horse is missing his effects, ahh, this guy has a bad texture.. everything is wrong. I have to go back and fix everything!
We probably won't see any gameplay until after The Witcher 3 comes out.
RPG Site: Working in visual effects, it must be quite exciting to have that game on the horizon - lots of neon lighting and such...
Teixeria: Oh, it's so great. It's so different. We have... we have our, sort of... in the studio, we share a weekly email thread of inspiration. There's so much good stuff on there right now. As for Cyberpunk, that teaser... I've watched it over and over. I can't wait.
Same.
I was wallowing in thinly veiled self pity here, and you just trampled all over it. Bastard.
We already know they're pumping resources into CP77. They're juggling people between both projects. What we don't know is how exactly advanced CP77 project is.And as we know, when TW3 is out of the way, all of CDPR's ressources will be pumped into CP. So I am really confident that we will see the first gameplay before May 2015.
