lol im not sure if thats good, bad or worrisome after the "great management" Cyberpunk had.

Sonic18811092d ago (Edited 1092d ago )

I don't know either. But I will say I enjoyed the Witcher franchise a lot more than any Western RPG that I have ever played even more than KOTOR and Elder Scrolls but that's my opinion.

porkChop1092d ago

Give it a rest. At least they worked their asses off to turn that game around as much as they possibly could. It's miles beyond what it was at launch. They've done more than 90% of devs who just put garbage out and abandon it.

Abriael1092d ago (Edited 1092d ago )

Imagine still holding a grudge against CD Projekt considering that they worked extremely hard to make things right and they absolutely delivered.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best games available at the moment, and not by a small margin.

CD Projekt is pretty literally the only developer out there that never failed to do right by gamers, even if in one case it took them a bit longer.

goldwyncq1092d ago

They still haven't redeemed themselves with Cyberpunk. Bugs and glitches may be fixable, but promising certain features (branching paths, wall running, vehicle combat, mulitplayer, among many others) and not delivering is another issue entirely.

Abriael1092d ago

LOL. They have delivered one of the best games released in the past 10 years. They've redeemed themselves plenty.

You can keep your irrational grudges. I'll enjoy the game.

just_looken1092d ago

No this is bad if you look at the witcher 3 credits almost every major position in those credits has been replaced by someone fresh out of school.

They are using unreal engine no red engine so the combat we all loved tossed out just download medieval village from unreal store copy paste generic knight #04

The big huge thing is they are 100% into esg ecosystem now so none of there old style of presentation will be in any future game.

At the 5:24 min mark on that video they show that this dev team has ladies working now that is great sure but equal pay? oh skipped that and you can see them getting herded into there own section of the office like the old days with the black only washroom's/working areas.

"Hey ye-all we support women look we hired them and look they have there own spot were they can work no men here."

That is not pushing the needle forward men/women should be allowed to work shoulder to shoulder same pay same respect same division with the same oversight regulations applied to them no double stranded bs.

A female coder/artist etc can be just as good as a male paid the same with the same rules.

But nope cdpr has 220 workers on one game oh wow yeah i see through you

Oh also it took 1500 people to create witcher 3 worldwide see sector 8.6

220 people on a project in early stage of development is entirely normal. They have *plenty* of their old guard, and I would know because I know several personally.

Developers moving around as they make successful games is also a 100% normal reality of the gaming industry.

Also buh buh buh muh politics. 😂

I hope they overhaul the combat. The Witcher 3 had excellent characterisation, main story and side stories are still the gold standard but the game had weak combat mechanics and animations even after the patch was released.

seanpitt231092d ago

With only a headcount of 220 it's definitely a 5 plus year Dev time

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
