Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Re-Announcement Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Sam Ecorners]

Interesting, so in the yongyea video there was a large part that was pretty much a hitjob on Adam Badowski, but in the video that Madqueen did, claiming she spoke with over 40 devs, she says the exact opposite, that Badowski has clear vision but some of the middle managers don't follow it as they should

It's almost as if people on youtube don't know what they're talking about...

Sounds like a great studio and a place to work in.
:russiastronk:

So basically all those Glassdoor reviews were true.

you're disgusting

Shocking news: People don't have much incentive to lie on an anonymous review platform which is rarely used by anyone other than other prospective employees.

This is going to turn into a complete disaster.



It is truly sad that they aren't a private company, instead of a publicly held one. Oh well, that's what happens...

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Sounds like exactly every studio I've extensively worked with (which is 3, granted, but I easily extrapolated the idea that incompetency is omnipresent in gamedev).

Fixt.

I don't think you need to work at even a single studio for that idea to quickly become shockingly apparent.

Reading the stock market subforums for CDPR is the best entertainment they will provide for a good while.

The angle the handgun is held in the upper picture is unnatural.

The angle the handgun is held in the upper picture is unnatural.

Looking at that picture, the guy's hand looks rather malformed, like he has a genetic disorder or something; the thumb is too big related to the other fingers, and the hand is overall slightly too elongated.

this #WECANWAIT shitshow increasingly looks like it has more of a place amidst the rabid Star Citizen fanboys.

Bad management and oversized egos would not be the only things Star Citizen and Cyberpunk 2077 has in common it seems.

They fucked up announcing the game back in 2012/2013, but we do know why they did (To show people they weren't just a Witcher studio) and they are finally going all in on Cyberpunk.

After four years of silence, Cyberpunk twitter account just... beeped:

 

[conan_edw]

hope it means the marketing campaign is kicking in

 

[cvv]

First shot of the marketing hype barrage? I guess we can expect IGN/Gamespot "Why we are excited about Cyberpunk" type articles soon.

The problem i have with those anonymous comments of former employees is that its basically nontraceable and therefor impossible to valiade. One could easily create such rumors out of thin air (or atleast blow them out of porportion) and thereby damage the reputation of a highly successful company that relies heavily on its good guy image. It would be both a very cheap and effective tactic and i would not think for a second that companies like EA would not sink as low as it would take to do such a thing.

I'm not saying that thats necessarily true, but it leaves me with uncertainty. Same goes for all those #metoo stories.

 

[Cyberarmy]

I need a fucking bigger

 

[Daedalos]

Mods will fix it

 

[Jarmaro]

If Cyberpunk will be Sci-Fi version of Witcher 3, will it be a failure from the get go?

Yes.

I hope to see Ciri as an easter egg in the game.

This. Plus even if they were real you never know if the working conditions at CD Projekt are really that shitty or people just exaggerate and/or are way too entitled.

For example when the shitstorm with ME Andromeda broke out there were some leaks from former, or even current, employees complaining about conditions at Biowhore. And I distinctly remember one of their more serious complaints was they didn't get their usual hour-long break for lunch. What bitch? I've had 5 or 6 jobs after I left school and only one of them even had any break at all - and only a half hour one at that. It's not exactly a generous time for eating but it's doable. Half-hour breaks are pretty standard in my Yuropoor country. So it's pretty clear some people are just snowflakes. But again, maybe Biowhore IS exploiting employees, you just never know.

And as for the CD Projekt leaks - one of the claims is that the working conditions are unbearable in the studio because there's infighting between managers and team leads. Really? I'm shocked. You mean just like in every other fucking company in the galaxy? It's pretty clear whoever claimed that never had a proper job before. Prolly some young sensitive girl being shocked by the bog standard corporate politics. And again - working conditions at CD Projekt may be genuinely shitty.
