I was looking forward to playing this after moving into my new place next month but I guess I am the big idiot for preordering something that probably has all sorts of issues on PS4.

Is this some kind of capitalist hell hole joke I'm too European to understand? Can you guys not cancel/reschedule your days off from work?

The average American gets 4 days of PTO per year and uses <1.

cubicle gangster posted:

yeah I saw this last time, I don't get it. email HR or whoever handles PTO and say 'can I reschedule those days off to x'.
you're not forced to use them, it's not like its the day before and they've already staffed.

count me in as someone who also wants to see the unpatched disk running on a base xbox one.

:lol: yeah that's not a thing here, at least, not in my industry. The most likely outcome of doing this, for me, would be losing the PTO and never getting it back. I was taking Thanksgiving off anyways, so it isn't a big deal, I'll just play a lot of AssCreed instead of Cyberpunk. :shrug:

I’ve got no plans for the foreseeable future thanks to covid, so I’m not actually bummed or anything about the delay. Whatever it takes, just make sure it’s good.

And yea, guess I’ll be playing the new watch dogs game next month.

This is getting delayed into next year. This is the pilot telling the passengers that’s theres a 15 minute delay knowing it’s an hour.

I've barely touched video games this year and Cyberpunk is one of the few I've been looking forward to. We were so close.. now I feel like they will just delay it to next year in a few weeks.

Isn't delaying to next year a huge loss of potential revenue bc Xmas? I wouldn't be surprised if they absolutely are forced to release the game in whatever state they have it 15 days before santa brings all the children their digital download keys.

the game is broken in some fundamental way and they are working their people to death to make a day 0 patch hoping it will fix it

I wonder if they just push the console releases. Release on PC this year, then release on console simultaneously with the next gen version next year.

Then they can claim they released it to avoid becoming more of a laughingstock of a company than they are already.

I'm so glad I didn't take vacation days. On the other hand, I only took 4 vacation days this year and that's dumb, but boy am I ready for my vacation to rollover to the realistic timeframe where I can get both a new Zen 3 CPU and an RTX 3080 walking into Microcenter casually.

The number and kinds of delays makes me seriously question whether the game will be worth playing near release. Witcher 3 was playable at release fine, but so much of the game coming together in the final couple years of development

I really can’t see them giving up the Xmas 2020 sales unless there is something seriously hosed. I think this will be the last delay (he says for the 3rd time this year).

I haven’t played an Assassin’s Creed since the Ezio one, but it looks like I’m gonna spend a month being a Viking now.

The page I cited and linked says the "expenditures on development" are "455,807" and the bottom of the page says that the numbers are in thousands of zloty. So, 455,807,000 zloty on development from January 1 to June 30, 2020.

I believe 'development' in the context of this report is more than just the development of the game as we know the term - it's all development required to deliver the final product. I'm pretty sure it includes all marketing expenses so far too.

On page 42 - operating expenses show employee compensation at 12.5m USD. Software and hardware makes up half that again. it's a big jump to go from 18m on all staff and equipment to 117m. realistically with outsourcing and all 'development' as we know it they should be around 25-30m.
A burn rate of $240m a year on development alone before marketing would be insane too. investors would be running for the hills, they've been in full production for 2 years and gradually scaling up over the 3+ before that.
gta5 was 250 including marketing, RDR2 was rumored to be around 600 all in. The total for this after marketing will likey be around 400-500m.

That was basically the reason for the delay that resulted in the game being pushed back to September. CDPR needed more time to optimize for Xbox One and PS4. They should have just canceled those versions. I know it would have been a super controversial move, but what is the point if the performance is going to be unacceptable?

I am remembering the Gran Turismo 5 launch which had similar delays in its final few months. That was a total poo poo show when it finally released. That game was so bad for about a year plus.

Those platforms represent like two thirds of the potential sales of the game, OP
