Shame playtesters didn't notice anything wrong with past gen versions. It happens.
Why not? Texture streaming is quite slow despite having 24gb of vram. It feels like playing the console version on higher resolution and more FPS. Raytraced lighting is the only benefit, as of now. Quite honestly, the RTX 3090 has been a waste of money, if Cyberpunk is the only game you play. You don't need RayTracing for this game. RT shadows in it's current state is a joke, as it causes flickering and noticeable pop-ins.

They noticed, they noticed... (I know you're sarcastic) https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP4497-CUSA16579_00-0000000000000001
I have both PS5 and series X, they don't have 24gb of vram even combined. Anyway, of course playing on pc feels like a console game at higher resolution and graphics, it's the same game as it has always been and always will be.

Are we playing the same game?
I sometimes have to wonder given the bemusing praise some people say about it. It hasn't changed much at all on XB1 in the past 6+ months - the only overtly noticeable thing is that it doesn't crash as much. Hardly something worthy of a medal since it shouldn't be an issue in the first place on a AAA.
Well, everybody should expect more or less the same quality for the money, no matter if you're on PS4 or a high-end PC, but those extra features (RayTracing) which have been advertised especially for PC players, just aren't in a good state right now. The PC version suffers from the transition of an epic next-gen game to the level of stone age consoles, and it's all because of the chip crisis, which will probably continue in 2022. If you want to buy a PS5 as a Xmas gift, do it right now. I don't think that scalper prices will go down in December.

Answered your own question yourself in bold. Cyberpunk 2077 was removed from the PlayStation Store, because it kept crashing, and couldn't be played at all. CDPR has been working hard to improve the game, maybe Sony tested it, and seemingly CP77 passed the test, and thus returned to the store. That's a major improvement.
Not really, Sony themselves suggest not to buy the game if you have a PS4

No version is in a good state tbh, if you take RT on PC as a reference. Anyway, I already have a PS5 from launch, as I said.
Some people didn't bought the game in December, but they want to play it, even if it's not properly fixed yet. Performance wise, the game wasn't that terrible since 1.2 patch, a lot of people like the game story wise. If I had PS5 digital, I would've been pissed at CDPR for taking so much time to bring it back.
Congrats.
I just hope there will be some noticeable improvements, and I'm actually quite confident. We just need to be patient.

The RTX 3090 won't change much, it's more of a card made for creators and streamer, not gaming entirely. Hell most games run at under average 5% FPS difference with a 3080.
As for Ray Tracing? I find the implementation for gaming to be needing a lot of changes from Nvidia, it's great on Paper but in term of performance it's hell for barely anything, I don't expect it to become finalized, ready and to exit "Beta" testing until 2023.
I dont think they have little choice but to make that notification, although from what I hear this notification could be tagged for every platform if you aim to be generic.Not really, Sony themselves suggest not to buy the game if you have a PS4
By now we know performance and playability are stretched far between them all.
Its basically a heads up to inform the customer that you can suffer from bugs and glitches or whatever (I cant help but notice they call it 'problems', means little from where I stand) but its not a guarantee whatsoever.
The funny thing for me is that I experience more issues on PC version than PS4 version.
So they're selling the game with a massive disclaimer because it's still not fixed. This is quite the business strategy they have going here.
No offense, but the XBOX ONE S was dated when it came out. It's now a glorified toaster. CDPR's probably hit a wall in terms of further optimization. Those on console including myself have witnessed the cost of the visuals trying to get this to work on last gen XBOX/PS4.

I think it's more that they need people to understand there's no more optimization that can be done. They've hit a wall as I said before.
I too think there's very little that can still be done to improve the experience further on old-gen consoles. They did what they could, including somewhat downgrading the experience for PS5 and Series X players in order to make it work better on PS4 and XBOne. As a Series X owner i'm actually fine with that, because i know things will get better once the next gen patch finally arrives, so it's just a matter of waiting and i'll finally be able to enjoy the game in all its graphical grandeur. I just hope that eventually DLCs and additions will start rolling out, because a cosmetic overhaul can only do so much to keep me interested, since I basically did everything the game offers at the moment, and i'm waiting for more content while i play other games.
I think it's about time CDPR start releasing the real stuff, not just patches and hotfixes. Now that the "Sony case" is closed, i see no more reasons to keep them from work hard on dlcs (even small ones) and actual gameplay improvements. I mean, six and a half months after release i think it's the right time for CDPR to show the community they still actually intend to expand the world of CP77.
Still, it's the only game which has that disclaimer on PS store. The base PS4 version is not even mentioned in the OP of this thread.
Might've missed it but I haven't seen anybody describe their experience on base PS4 (base storage too?) as of the new patch.
How substantial are the performance differences? All I know so far is visual pop-in is more frequent/noticeable, which is fine.
What about getting into fights? Do enemies still take considerable time to realize that I'm engaging them? (presumably due to the game loading stuff)
Getting in/out of vehicles - does it still take the game ~5 seconds to fully register this? Previously I experienced really jarring audio (and other) problems related to this.
Using mainmenu/character/inventory/skills UI? It was pretty typical that accessing/using these UIs could take a while to load & exit. Any changes in this department?
I'm contemplating reinstalling. But the game being as big as it is, I'm hesitant since I'll need to uninstall at least one game. If my personal biggest issues are still as bad as they were, I'll probably just hold off for now.

Congratulation Guys !
Let's hope this is just the beginning for you and you will now focus on delivering the same game as you have promised.
Let's the "No Man's Sky" path be the best example for you guys of how to regain the good reputation about your game and your studio back, as right now is all time low.
There is a chance still so don't waste it.
