So the next cyberpunk game is going to be made in a brand new US-based studio, and the team will be working on a brand new (to them) engine.
To me this sounds like either that we won’t see cyberpunk 2 at least until year 2033, or it’s going to be an even bigger mess at launch. I’m hoping they take their time with it, for a change.

Why not both
bruh
I have (small) hopes it might be better: cp2077 had the unfortunate combo of:
-
Using an engine which was il suited for a first person shooter.
-
The engine was proprietary. So harder to onboard new employees, and worse than open source/existing engines.
-
Released on the verge of the transition to the next console generation. I get it from a marketing perspective why they wanted to support ps4 etc, (still couldn’t find a ps5 at launch), but man was it a bad idea from a software perspective. I think this should be the main lesson: don’t trust cdpr on anything related to older hardware
-
I’m sure dumping a new team to work on an engine they havent worked with before without giving them enough time will go fine, it’s not like we have any recent examples saying otherwise.
…oh yeah, Mass Effect: Andromeda.

It’ll be called Cyberpunk 2077 because of the release date.
“Cyberpunk 2077: A game set in an alternative past”
remember when they said all dlc for cyberpunk would be free? i do.
They are trying to argue that this is an expansion, not DLC:
Phantom Liberty is an expansion, not a DLC. You can find the list of free DLCs here: https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/dlc (they were included in patches).
Absolute bullshit. Expansions are DLC.
Oh that means the Expansion will come in a physical CD to install and no Downloadable Content at all. So nice of CDProjekt of bringing back the old times, were games were complete or mostly, and you didn’t need to download a day one patch or much anything , except some small stuff here and there.
/s
They said this after all the issues with the launch as a way to say sorry.
Their justification is that they aren’t calling it “DLC” but an “expansion” which is just their weasel word to go back on their promise.

I actually don’t, or if I do wasn’t that just for small post launch additions and not fully fledged expansions? Same way you got those alternate costumes in witcher 3 for free but still had to buy hearts of stone,for example.
The hubris of this game’s development is the most interesting thing about it.
a bit sad but makes sense considering how much they would be missing out technologically
Corpos: Did you learn nothing from playing our game? We don’t give a fuck about you.
CP2077 would be much better served as a CRPG than an FPS.
Wheres the mp expansion they promised?
