I really hope we at least get a release date at E3, but I doubt that will happen, just want to remain hopeful either way. At best though I am sure we won't be getting Cyberpunk 2077 until early 2020. At worst the game will probably be held off to be a launch title for the new Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

They are deffo going to do a GTA5 console generations doubledip, and I mean that makes sense tbh.

This is a given because Microsoft and Sony have both confirmed in the last year that for their next console, games still have to work on PS4 and Xbox One.

Good ideas generator

It's still not clear whether PS5/NewBone games will be brought separately to their PS4/Bone cousins. It's entirely possible that you'll buy the game and there won't be different versions for each console. They'll just have settings, like a PC game.

Though I doubt that, because capitalism.

Nah, they'll do a clean break like usual. Otherwise devs would be constrained by the lovely CPUs of the outgoing console generation till who knows when. The only difference is backwards compatibility is a given because of no major hardware changes, so basically when they inevitably release Cyberpunk 2077: 60 fps edition with improved graphics and other stuff for 60 dollars in 2021 you know you're getting fleeced. Because lol if you think any major publisher wouldn't charge extra for improvements that would be trivially easy to patch in to the base game for next-gen players.

Depends on the engine. Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain were released on both ps3 and ps4 and it did a really nice job of running well on both, with a lot of room to improve even on PC.

What about a wireless option like Chromecast to stream from the computer to the TV? Honestly, HDMI cable is the best way, but I'm sure you could MacGuyver something through the internet...

Isn't this why the Steam Link was invented? Have to imagine you can pick one of up for cheap if running an hdmi cable is a nonstarter.

AppleTV can do it too, and the new update should support PS4 controllers.

i think it will be 2020. they might announce it for this year and then push it back again.

i have heard ps5 is coming out in 2020 and is gonna be full ps4 backwards compatible.

There's no reason for consoles to not be backwards compatible any more now that they're all x86.

So game has been definitely pushed back to 2020 because the devs didn’t want to feel rushed. This is a good sign.

Yeah the steamlink is cheap as hell and subject to sale pricing on occasion. You can also use it for non-steam games, emulators and other poo poo too. You may have to nip over to your pc to alt-tab or whatever but after that it's gravy.

Some stuff (Forza horizon 3 and 4) had controller issues for me when I switched to ds4 but bone/360 controllers should be fine for ms store games.

I think that was a technology grant, so showing a tech demo is probably sufficient for the conditions

CDPR also works on some hush hush secret project that is supposed to launch in 2021. It will likely be in a Witcher world based on some other comments.

Serious question: Do I get CP on PS4 when I have a pro with a 55" 4K tv, or get it on PC where I'm running an i7 7700k, GTX 1080, 32gb ram?

I'm seriously so conflicted. I've also considered buying it on both, but assuming I don't. PC or PS4?

I'd wait until closer to launch - see how it runs.

Preferably wait until someone like the digital foundry guys get their hands on it and compare everything. I feel it's a little too early to make a call on console or PC, considering we don't know what's being sacrificed, and if any of it matters to you.

It comes down to marketing, honestly. I can't remember where I read it or maybe it's just some made up thing my mind conjured to rationalize why we have the dumbest loving garbage box art in the US but apparently games that had some sort or protagonist on the cover the game tended to sell more than if it had something more abstract or stylized.

I wish I could find a source but my googling is turning up nothing.

quote:

Johnson suggested: “I feel like they don’t put women on the covers because they’re afraid that it won’t sell. It’s all gamers really know – and I don’t want to be sexist by any means – but I get the feeling, generally, that they think game’s won’t sell as well with a woman on the cover, compared to some badass dude on the front.”

“I agree with what Ashley said,” Druckmann added. “I believe there’s a misconception that if you put a girl or a woman on the cover, the game will sell less. I know I’ve been in discussions where we’ve been asked to push Ellie to the back and everyone at Naughty Dog just flat-out refused.”
