Will it happen? and will it be the game we all thought this one would be ?
The same can happen with the sequel.
If this game was released unfinished, maybe the sequel will be released unfinished too.
It's too soon to guess
I hope this game gets fixed and finished and if there is a sequel is released really when it's ready.
No. The game ends how it does because by the end of production they realized they would rather ride the final swells of the MMO craze and coast for a bit. They're cashing all the checks in exchange for the reputation they cultivated, and wrote the game in such a way that what's done is done. End of story. Rockstar surely sees the sales numbers this former CD printer from Poland has done and could well swoop in to deliver the game we thought we were getting at some point in the future though.
This game still have a lot to give & more potentials than any other Witcher games. There I said it.
They just need to keep on fixing & improving the game, especially since the "outrage" kinda died down on its own. CP2077 could easily spawn 4 expansions...
If I am being honest, I think instead of a Witcher sequel, CDPR should remake Witcher 1 & Witcher 2 first. A smaller budget projects, something that is on demands, & have the potentials of massive sells especially with Netflix Witcher popularity in current time.
How proud Marcin Iwiński must be seeing people making fun of his game.Doubtful. Instead of spending the time realizing the game and riding the success toward remarkable DLC - they'll be spending it fixing issues on last gen systems as PC languishes, often breaking further in the process, and they collect feedback on the shoe horned MP mechanics in preparation for online game. Less than 30% of initial buyer engage DLC on average, and thats for a finished game. How will people respond to DLC, with the impression it's just content that was cut (whether this is actually true or not), after this? Even the "next gen upgrade" has been delayed considerably. Who will be interested when the time comes around as the mystery of what's in the box has worn off?
Yes, the outrage has died down. However; this game's mighty roar will echo into eternity.
Keep in mind thousands upon thousands, sometimes millions, of possible buyers watch these streamers. You and I may not, but a lot of people do. What's their impression?
Thus, the transition into a coastal AAA studio will be complete.
