I know they are, and as I understood since the last delay was announced is that ALL teamS are working in TW3, or sayinig it in other words: every team is investing their time in an extraordinary way to finish and polish TW3 ..
It doesn't really work like that. The skillsets are different. It tends to make sense for a company like CDPR to have two overlapping projects going at any time, if they want to keep their staff. One at the conceptualisation and design stages, one in development and testing. So yes, I'd expect them to be thinking already about what comes after CP77, even though there'll be no work done on it.
Then the title confused some of your readers. "What I would like to see from CDPR" implies that these are things you particularly want CDPR to make.
They're both story-driven action RPGs, which is what they're good at. Even though they do other small projects outside that genre, it's unlikely to make business sense for them to switch to something completely different, like a puzzle-based platformer, for a major project.
Cyberpunk 2077.
Action-RPG.
So be it. Nobody will cry, because of that.
The Witcher 4 with Ciri as protagonist. Adam Kiciński (CEO) said the Witcher IP won't be dropped after TW3.
I think they will stick to The Witcher franchise, but decision hasn't been made yet.
It seems a bit too much to prevent yourself from playing good games just because there's firearms in it, did you know , for exemple, that 95% of The Last of Us can be played without firing any gun ?
If can somehow manage to play LoU without firing any gun, I might as well watch a lets play of it. But this is off topic.
Cyberpunk will have lots of guns, so protagonist will obviously shoot. I think Cyberpunk's combat system will be skill based (that's not confirmed yet); you will aim manually and system will count size of injury. I'm just trying to say that action RPG =/= shooter. Two different genres, both have guns though.
TW3 will be the end of Geralt's story. That's what they have said.
Unfortunately not until next year, but me and my tinfoil hat say they're past pre-production. It's been in development since late 2012 and if you browse linkedin, they've hired a whole mess of new people for the game. In addition, Talsorian is advising and collaborating with them - that's guys with over 20 years of RPG experience. I get the sense they'll have a really strong foundation once the whole team switches over to Cyberpunk. As for guns, if you look at the PnP games, you won't be disappointed. There's a ton of gadgets as well. Think Dues Ex with a nasty edge in an open world.
