Quality Of Life improvements for console players

[zaide2010]

How is there still no Fov slider for consoles. I understand that the game may not be able to handle it but that’s a load of shit I’m sorry. Driving around night city breaking the speed cap in third person doesn’t even break the game on new gen consoles and there’s been multiple times where my game has glitched to a higher Fov during cutscenes and it runs flawlessly. It’s a real bs excuse because you can literally just put a warning when you change the Fov saying how the fps might drop and every player will understand. Lets say the game just becomes unplayable and your worst nightmare of the addition to the Fov slider on consoles somehow comes true and the game goes below 50/40fps, a really simple fix to this (and it may not be the best here but it’ll work until you solve It) is adding a slider for motion blur and not just a toggle because dashing with what feels like Vaseline on your face gets pretty annoying. You did it with Witcher 3 so why not cyberpunk?

another thing that would be a great quality of life feature is the addition of actual sleeves showing on V. For a game that wants to be immersive a lot of corners seem to be cut when it comes down to actually making the game bearable on consoles. It’s really simple. Next to your jacket slot just have an option where you can toggle the sleeves or disable them and just warn the player that there may be clipping with cyberware. To make it even easier there’s already a mod for this so just pay the developer of it and implement it into the game.

keyboard and mouse support for consoles would be great but I can see how it wouldn’t be a top priority in additions to this game but hey it couldn’t hurt?

No, you've nailed it on the head, possibly. It's not that it wouldn't technically be possible, but any such option would need to be officially supported by the console.

The next-gen update for TW3 was probably able to accomplish it because it has been almost 10 years of tech advancement since the original was released, and the newer consoles can definitely support it on the modern hardware. This is also why certain features are only available to PS5/XBox X, and not on PS4/XBox 1.

The only reason I said that was because of the glitches that occur on n cutscenes. If you didnt know already, when the game takes control away from you and moves the camera on its own you can activate photo mode and back out this’ll increase the Fov of the cutscene dramatically and the joke is that literally runs perfectly. So am I gonna have to wait 10 years for an Fov slider because at that point it’s not even worth playing. I wanted to get phantom liberty but it’s really hard to play the game with 50 Fov. I also forgot to mention a new game+ which will probably be implemented at some point because it’s an rpg but an Fov slider and sleeve toggle option would be great additions with this update

Hum... Quite strange. Maybe it only happen on Playstation (assuming you're on PS5), because I took thousand(s) screenshots and never saw the FOV being incresed after exiting Photo Mode... Anyway, as much as I love the game, I'm sorry to say that even with the "limited" FOV, next gen consoles still struggles to run the run smoothly. So increasing FOV would tank performances, guaranteed.

I'm sorry to say that NG+ will not be added to the game, never. CDPR already say it several times that they won't add any kind of NG+

Wish CDPR would add keyboard support for PS5 for all the people with a broken options button on PS5 controller, I literally can’t enter the game with a keyboard or a PS4 controller because the gaming industry is anti-consumer now.

Ok I can live without a slider but increasing the default FOV to 90 at the very least would bring a lot of players to the game. Also no ng+. Why? That’s such a dumb way to discourage replayability. Your telling me you got a game with multiple endings and hundreds of hours worth of content with no way to replay missions as far as I’m aware and you wont add new game +? There is nothing stopping them that is just foolish.

Another thing I forgot to bring up was not being able to change my build whenever I want. I can’t reset all attributes more than once which again feels so stupid and pointless because sure I’d want to play the game again but not grind hours and hours to get all my things just so I can change my attributes. Why not make it an unlimited usage?

The sleeves toggle is literally a perfect idea and would be great for immersion so I can actually see what I’m wearing instead of riding a bike all the time to see my outfits. Talking of clothes why tf is there not a clothes store with every single clothing item in the game Besides the ones you find In the world all clothes should be in a clothing store because it’s easier instead I have to haul my ass to another district just for a different colour of oni mask? Why?

The Fov thing I understand it’s to hide the pop in and make the fps more stable even though driving around in third person feels stable enough, but all these other features not being here in the first place just makes CDPR look lazy for neglecting the vanilla game. Instead we need to use mods to fix the basic issues that plague the game. YOU CANT EVEN CUSTOMISE YOUR CAR IN AN OPEN WORLD GAME. It’s just a pisstake man

Why, no idea. CDPR simply decided it wouldn't fit to the game or not worth it... They simply said multiple times there won't be NG+, that all we know.

Well... Like in many RPGs, you have to decide where to put your points and have to live with...

I stop there because I assume you simply want to rant about the game. If you don't have fun, don't play, there is a ton of other games which could possibly be more fun

I saw a bunch of your posts and I have to ask...

How is it the gaming industry's, or anybody else's, problem if you broke your options button?

How does that make the industry anti-consumer?

If I break the left button on my mouse and can't access any games because 99% of what I play requires a working left mouse button, can I now blame the industry?

Walk me through that logic.

And let's be honest here. An options/start button isn't something that typically breaks on it's own. I've heard of plenty of start/options button being broken but every single time, someone had gotten physical with their poor controller.
