E3 2018 and Beyond- What I think will happen

[lord_blex]

I'm just wondering if new games will start requiring them, or what...

so far sony and ms said no, they are not allowing that. when a new gen comes out, or if they switch to a rolling model they might change that. the two base consoles should be able to weather the next few years. lots of games are 1080p, even on the xbone. they could easily drop that down to 720p, which helps a lot.

They hired a new concept artist, here's their website with some pretty pictures they made.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be obviously this generation game including PS4 PRO and XBOX ONE X. But i think that they will update and release CP 2077 later on PS5 and XB2 with enhanced graphics etc... Something similar what they did with Witcher 3 on PRO and ONE X.

What I wish for is that CDPR will include the kneeling female cyborg statue in the Collector's Edition. 12 inch would be perfect!
I would really love to have her sitting on my gaming desk... next to my Witcher 3 CE statue of Geralt fightin' the griffin.
Gentle Giant would be an awesome pick to do the statue...

Probably right. Fine by me, really. Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro seem perfectly adequate as far as hardware and visuals go - definitely pretty large improvements over the originals. I'm just wondering if new games will start requiring them, or what... Then you are essentially buying a PS5 or Xbox Two (Since we're apparently going back to single digits).

Current consoles aren't bad by no means but in terms of pushing the latest hardware, I'd say by release of Cyberpunk, it might have already begun to start showing its limits. But unless the game is official next gen only, they will probably just develop for all current console iterations, rather then only for the latest upgraded versions, no need to separate the player base because of small hardware upgrades, unless that big leap in console generation is the goal.

I recall reading somewhere that the official [url]http://cyberpunk.net/ [/URL]website will be getting an overall update/change closer to the games official reveal and release. The current main page does seem like a placeholder page to just allow users to basically get to other Cyberpunk related social media pages, but that's about it. The blog stopped years ago and there hasn't been anything new on it since. So if the page does get an update, I'd expect it to be down for maintenance at some point, so looking forward to that change as well. Might also be a hint at when some new content and information about the game might be coming.

well i believe we will get a new trailer this year but i doubt this will be a fall 2018 title. more like fall 2019 and it'll slip to early 2020.

Why do you think we'll be getting a 2020 release if they intend to release another AAA RPG by 2021? Even if they delay that RPG by a year to 2022, that's not much time to get anything done. Releasing 2077 in early 2019 leaves them 2 and 1/2 years to wrap that project up, and leaves space for a short delay if need be.

CDPR: "We do not comment on rumours and speculations"

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...t-e3-this-year

The whole article:

"CD Projekt Red has been at pains to keep the conversation away from Cyberpunk 2077 in recent years. The Polish developer announced the game very early in order to attract talent to the studio, but then stopped discussing Cyberpunk 2077 entirely while The Witcher: Wild Hunt launched. This secrecy only intensified after the enormous success of The Witcher 3, as expectations rose dramatically about what the studio would be able to achieve next.

That the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account would reactivate earlier this month after a four-year silence - if only to say "*beep*" - should be considered significant, then.
And that CD Projekt Red didn't deny a report about Cyberpunk 2077 being at E3 2018 but opted for a tight-lipped 'no comment' may be significant too. "We do not comment on rumours and speculations," CDPR told me.

It's certainly not a no like CDPR co-founder Marcin Iwinski gave me in 2016 when I asked about rumours Cyberpunk 2077 would be at E3 that year. "It might happen that we will be at E3 and we will show something at E3, but I just want to make it clear it's not Cyberpunk," he told me. "We still have a lot of work to do with Cyberpunk.

"Right now it's the end of talking about Cyberpunk," he went on to say, "until we can go out there and show stuff and say, 'Hey, here it is,' because that's how we do games," he said. "There is too much talking about what it possibly could be, and how big, and...

"When we show it, we should show it and explain it. So I'm going to have people not read anything about Cyberpunk probably for the next... time, whatever the time will be."
The old CGI teaser.

The Polish GryOnline report mentioned above claimed two separate sources had told it Cyberpunk 2077 would be shown both in a trailer at E3, and behind closed doors to press, in playable form.

This all-in approach tallies with Iwinski's comments above, and with his admiration for how Bethesda revealed Fallout 4.

In 2015, Iwinski told IGN: "We're impressed with Fallout 4's rollout. [Bethesda] came on stage and said, 'It's here, it's real, and it's coming out on this date.' We're going to do something similar. We're going to wait [to reveal Cyberpunk 2077] until we can show off a very meaningful piece of it."

Iwinski isn't necessarily saying Cyberpunk 2077 will come out six months after the reveal, as Fallout 4 did, but he is suggesting there will be an end clearly in sight.

Dare we hold our breath for an autumn 2018 release? Cyberpunk 2077 could certainly go toe-to-toe with the blockbusters. Or will CDPR opt for a spring release in the style of The Witcher 3 (a window Rockstar prefers), winning it even more development time? And whose E3 stage will Cyberpunk 2077 be on?

Cyberpunk 2077 has been in development for a long time, and has help from the man who created the Cyberpunk pen-and-paper inspiration for the game, Mike Pondsmith. "It's pretty flashy I tell ya," Mike Pondsmith told me last summer, when we met. "We go, 'Yeah. Yeah. Yeah! You told me this is good - but this is really cool.'"

• In 2016 Eurogamer asked Marcin Iwinski if we were gonna see Cyberpunk at that years E3, he denied it by saying: "It might happen that we will be at E3 and we will show something at E3, but I just want to make it clear it's not Cyberpunk,"

• Now, in 2018 Eurogamer asked Iwinski the same question and he didn't deny it, he simply said: "We do not comment on rumours or speculations."

Yep, we are definitely gonna see Cyberpunk 2077 at 2018 E3.

isn't that MS infamous line back in gen 7?

 

[Snowflakez]

isn't that MS infamous line back in gen 7?

Yup. They use it very frequently, and have used it again recently when asked if the rumors about them rebooting the Fable franchise are true or not.

At any rate, this could be good news. It's not an outright no, like the article says.

If it is at E3, probably a playable press demo behind closed doors and a gameplay video for the public to watch.This is good news - take it from a journalist, other games usually show private press gameplay, not playable demos. This means the game is in a good enough state (Assuming the sources are being truthful) to be played under close watch, and undoubtedly in a good enough state to be shown off in a more scripted demo to everyone else. Even if it's pre-recorded gameplay, it's still gameplay.

Sony/Microsoft conference > They just finished showing trailer for some "literally-who-cares" game > But instead of intermission, the screen goes black again almost immediately > CD Projekt logo shows up for a few seconds, long enough to have crowd go nuclear > Epic music starts playing (still over the black screen), crowd goes wild > trailer actually begins and it turns out it's actually for Gwent story mode/ mobile port (whichever will come out later), crowd is breaking up inside > suddenly the screen starts glitching out and the trailer stops, crowd is confused > screen now starts showing computer desktop > mouse cursor clicks on the folder called CDPR E3 Presentation > we see three folders inside: CP, Gwent and The Witcher 4 > mouse cursor clicks on The Witcher 4 folder > inside there is a video called The Witcher 4 Announcement Trailer, crowd goes wild again > mouse cursor deletes the file, crowd is shocked > mouse cursor now goes back and clicks on CP folder > inside there is a video called Cyberpunk Gameplay Trailer > mouse cursor clicks on the file and touches the delete button, crowd starts panicking > in the last moment the cursor hits play button, the video begins, crowd is relieved and laughs > black screen, logo of CDPR appears once again > the video shows Mike Pondsmith, Cody Podnsmith, Adam Badowski and Marcin Iwiński sitting in the office and playing Cyberpunk Red > after crowd is confused again, suddenly Mike looks toward the screen and says "You know what, I think they waited long enough". Iwiński agrees. > the actual gameplay trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 finally begins
That's how I envisioned this presentation. You may not like it, but this is what peak perfomance at E3 looks like.

This is GOLD!!!!

We don't know exactly what "playable demo" means according to the alleged sources, so it might be just a long gameplay presentation for the press (which might be some time later uploaded to youtube for everyone to see) or actual hands-on demo for the press. CDPR tends to provide press with hands-on demo usually closer to release, so I would bet more on the former then the latter (but of course I would be happy if it turned out to be the other way around)

Playable demo means playable demo. If the source is correct, which we don't know for sure, the press will be able to play the demo. I have never, ever heard the term playable demo used in any other context. Usually the opposite is said, or nothing at all ("unplayable demo" or "demo").

But like I said, I think we could see an actual demo on the E3 stage and then written press accounts from a playable version, again if the sources are correct.

 

[Lisbeth_Salander]

we may actually see Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay at E3 which is 5 months from now

 

[cara2100]

they said they will do something similar not equal ..... maybe May 2019, difficult 2018 I wanted but I believe in the date
