I'm of the opinion that many games these days don't get "enough" development.
So many of them seem like the jokes in the film industry when all the Jaws and Rocky sequels started coming out.
Thankfully, some folks, in some studios saw the wisdom in not taking all the up to Jaws 25 with just another cookie cutter shark movie for the sake of sales.
Unfortunately, that didn't carry over into every genre or film franchise and lawd knows how many Friday the 13th films there are, but, for whatever reason, there's still a market for them. Some genres or fan-bases are just like that, I suppose.
I guess what I'm saying is, we're seeing this in the game industry where something with a name that was successful gets sequel after sequel pushed out with a "good enough" stamp of approval, and while it might generate some sales, and have a few wows since our technological sophistication is still in its infancy and brute force processing advances can make a difference in just 4 or 5 years, these games, once they're played, and once the shine and sparkle have worn seem just mediocre.
That's how I felt about AC: Odyssey, ME: Andromeda. The space just for the sake of space was amazing at first, but, even though it wasn't procedurally generated, it lacked heart and felt a little like it was.
Well known franchises seem to be more in the market for a money grab without the heart and soul put into the titles that launched the franchise from the beginning.
Don't even get me started with Bethesda.
I'm only speaking to single player games. There's a number of reasons I avoid online games, so, I'm going to try avoiding any talk about those.
... but, this thread is about MUSIC.
Yes. All my preceding babble leads up to that, but, also includes every other element of the game.
I've a lot of hope and anticipation for this game, and I fear that i might be putting too much anticipation into it, because, realistically, no product ever lives up to expectations.
Anyway, yes, my point regarding all this, and about music is that CDPR should certainly invest some time into making the music of CP 2077 more than "good enough". It shouldn't just be there for the sake of being there, but, should have some varied distinctions as outlined in the OP.
There should, too, also be more than just one or two radio stations, or radio station equivalents, and more than regional appetites and styles for certain flavors of music. A teenager might be obsessed with only one style of music or even just one singular artist, but, the whole world isn't teenagers. Give us variety. Give us CP 2077s version of
Swiched-on-Bach Brandenburg Concertos in some corner of the world, even if it's just some corpo elevator music. Give us a taste of some familiar that ties us back to the real world, but, not too familiar because this is the future, and a future in a different universe with slightly different rules, slightly different historical events, and corporations run like fiefdoms and self sovereign governments their own.
Cater to those details, in the music, and every other aspect, and don't rush this title out the door no matter how much noise we make about it.
... and, TLDR version: Don't feck this up by rushing or "good enoughing" anything.
