Cyberpunk 2077 - We're finally Next-Gen!

[Mupepe]

I’m about 8 hours in on the XSX version and I’m having a lot of fun. No crashes for me. Some jank but nothing game breaking and usually produces some unintentional fun. I like just walking around the city to random gigs. And the boxing match with the twins is the best thing so far.

Also, don’t read Reddit or Era. Jesus they go the extra mile on negativity and over analyze the jank like it’s the worst game ever made.

Have you had any pauses in the game? I'm on XSX as well and maybe once an hour I get a 5 or 6 second pause where music and sound keeps playing but the world kinda stops.

Anyway I've learned to embrace the jank and just enjoy the game. It's very good and Keanu plays a great character.

I haven’t ran into that either thankfully. It’s been surprisingly smooth. All my issues have been things like buttons not working or not being able to pick up certain items.

How in the motherfuck some of these scenes run on stock Xbone I will NEVER know.

I wonder how much better things get if you’ve got an SSD on the older hardware? I noticed a MASSIVE perf improvement on most xbone games when I hooked one up; I really cannot communicate just how fucking slow a 5400rpm HDD is.

Someone on Reddit figured out a hex edit of the .exe to allow simultaneous  controller and keyboard/mouse input. Thank fucking Christ. Steam Controller works perfectly now. Lowered resolution a bit to get more frames because gyro feels better at higher framerates. Averaging about 80fps now.

Can you replace/remove cyber implants once you get them or are they set in stone?

[Coax]

Are the off-white hair color options in the char creator actually green like it seems or is it just some trick of the lighting?

Any ripperdoc can swap out implants.

I wasn’t experiencing crashes, but those frame rate drops where the game appears to lock up for a few seconds are gone since the patch today.  Performance was way better overall.

Love the Demolition Man nod with the 3 sea shells in the bathroom. 

[Coax]

One crash so far near the beginning but otherwise has been running at 60fps on DLSS Quality and everything Ultra except that setting I mentioned earlier. Japanese VA was totally the right choice for me.

Cute touch with the 'You're Breathtaking' photo mode pose.

Wow, people are pissed about the last gen version over on the cyberpunk subreddit

[Coax]

Frustratingly clothing stores swap around items they have seemingly when you level up. Had my eye on some shoes that were higher level but figured I'd progress with the main quest a bit then go back to them. 20m later the same seller no longer has those shoes and none of the others in the area have them at that armor level

What kind of playstyle/build are you turds going for? I'm doing a shooty cold blood build and it's kiiiiinda busted (my armor is pretty high and the perk that gives you increased armor per stack of cold blood means once I kill a couple idiots I'm pretty tough)

My Body and Cool have been at 3 the entire game; I just dumped everything into hacking, crafting and tech weapons. You don't need to sneak or be big to look at the cameras, mark everyone, and fire through the walls like it's Perfect Dark. 

[Mupepe]

I put 4 on everything and then extra points into body and intelligence. I barely use hacking but I always hate using that stuff in games and so far the game is too easy for me to have to use it.

You pick up better and better armor constantly and I’ve got tons of eddies.

Poonikins references in Cyberpunk?

Holy fuck "The Heist"

That was some intense shit.

Got to the title card, game begins now.

Looking at how even high-end PC's struggle it's a sort of miracle it runs on Xbox One / PS4 at all.
But yeah, that hardware is not cut out for a game like this. I think improvements can be made but mostly the Jaguar CPU's just can't keep up.

[OnlyRegret]

looks like a game to be best savoured 3 months later, thanks for beta testing nerds

That sucks. This gen has just been stretched so thin that it was inevitable a big cross-platform game was going to come along that the old base systems just couldn't handle.

[Rahxephon91]

Ok, now the game is becoming unplayable for me. Crashes constantly.

Well maybe unplayable is dramatic, but I can't drive a vehicle without a random crash.

Eddies 'exploit' found via YT comments for anyone who cba. Just testing this for about 5m at two vending machines next to each other I spent ~$2k and as a result made $12k.

- Create a new save then go to any $10 vending machine (preferably a row of them) and grab all the items until sold out. Only the $10 ones are valid for this. If it happens to be a Nicola vending machine only select the Nicola Blue. Also need to stand back from the machine so more items can come out, otherwise it'll say sold out before more have been released. Ideally should end up with a few dozen consumables per cycle.

- Go your backpack, disassemble the items, resulting in stash of Uncommon/Common Item Components. Note: if one has been accidentally consumed the disassemble option won't be available and it'll require reloading the last save.

- Save to the same save slot then reload from it and the vending machines will be restocked.

Continue until you can't be bothered then sell the components that came from dissembling them to a ripperdoc or the gun dealer in your apartment complex (I did the latter since I didn't see the sell option yet on Vik). Selling the raw components gets more cash than crafting them into weapons first, according to the comments I've read.

Hey, how the F do you get japanese VO? Mine only has English and French. Bought off the US online store.

Not sure if you mean Steam or GOG but I found with GOG's offline installer version at least I had to select it from the 'game language' drop-down during the setup installer ('日本語' for anyone wondering). Found out the hard way after I'd installed it and the settings only listed the English audio, so I re-installed.

Not sure how the GOG Galaxy version or the Steam version handle changing audio language.

Edit: forgot you were on console. CDPR's support page lists console versions audio inclusions as being region specific, with the Japanese audio being exclusive to Japan.

[Sho Nuff]

Aw nuts, I'm a console poor. Thanks for finding that out tho, was pulling out my hair

The entire Heist mission and aftermath 

Big Daddy Keanu slapped me and called me a little bitch

Edit: should mention it's just a random sidequest nothing major

[naff]

only bug really bothering me at the moment is in 3440 x 1440 menu's are janked. otherwise, yeah, this game is great. couldnt care less that it's just a waypoint grinder for side quests with a strong mainline campaign, because actually completing them is fun, and the main story has been great. the city makes for phenomenal set dressing.

I think they're trolling console players. It's like the opposite of R* who always want to fuck PC gamers

[mormapope]

Runs great on Series X, game hasn't crashed or hard crashed once, whereas CoD hard crashed for me multiple times.

 

It's a shitty and tough situation regardless. Shitty for base console owners that got hyped for the game, tough situation for CDPR as they needed to sell a lot of copies to make back money they poured into the game.

In hindsight, they needed to downgrade the base console versions by quite a bit for performance reasons. Or their engine did not scale well for their ambitions.

That's where Rockstar and arguably Ubisoft have them beat, efficiency and performance with the game engines they use. RDR2 looking as good as it does and rarely having performance issues on base consoles is a technical feat that's pretty miraculous.

[Nintex]

Just drop to an ultra low preset and 600p resolution for the console peasants 

People didn't believe this cross gen nonsense was holding next-gen back.
CDPR was like: "Ok if you say so"

Looking back at the headlines around the November delay, I think they pretty much spelled it out that the last gen version was going to be a turd 

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-10-29-cd-projekt-attributes-new-cyberpunk-delay-to-working-with-current-gen-consoles

CD Projekt Red has attributed the most recent delay to the release of Cyberpunk 2077 to optimising the game for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Speaking to the company's investors, CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński said that Cyberpunk 2077 is "ready for the PC and runs great on the next-gen consoles."

He added that the eagerly anticipated game could have shipped on its previous November 19 date if it was only for those platforms.

"However, even though the game has been certified on the current gens by both Sony and Microsoft, some very final optimization processes for such a massive and complex game require a bit of additional time," Kiciński added.

Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed to December 10 this week, the third time its launch has been pushed back by CD Projekt Red. The Polish firm called a meeting with its shareholders specifically to take questions about the decision.

"Targeting future releases -- probably -- just for next-gen will help a lot," Kiciński added later in the call. "We are releasing a game which is, to be honest, a next-gen game, and we're preparing it for fairly old machines, which poses certain unique challenges that won't occur in future projects."

These comments prompted some confusion among CD Projekt's investors, due to the next-generation version of Cyberpunk 2077 not being due for release until 2021. Kiciński clarified that the current-gen version of of the game is in a shippable state when played on the more powerful PS5 and Xbox Series X/S hardware

RDR2 looking as good as it does and rarely having performance issues on base consoles is a technical feat that's pretty miraculous.

Not to mention that unlike CP2077, AI and interactivity in RDR2 doesn't feeli like it's straight out of a PS2 era open world game 

[MMaRsu]

Also Rockstar has been making open world games for decades while this is only CDPRs second so... It had to be really hard for them.

[Nintex]

Anyhow, DF recommended settings got me a locked 60fps even in demanding fight scenes with robots. 

The only thing I disagree with is that RT medium lighting -> RT reflections.
I prefer reflections myself, makes a bigger difference overall.

But I've got them both on at 60fps@1440p for the time being.

I’ve heard the side jobs are some of the best content in the game but nearly everyone I’ve had so far has been do activity x times trash with a couple of actual story focused ones thrown in

Sorry losers, but I’ve been spoiled by yakuza like a dragon pissing hot content all over my face at every turn, it makes this game come across as ubitrash in comparison

[naff]

I have a couple very casual gamer friends playing on base ps4 and they're enjoying it. I was like "you sure?" and they just think i'm being a nitpicky nerd saying it looked p bad

they have no idea about the outrage on the interwebs. instagram kinda folk. imo, if you're not living that kinda chill life you just gotta accept that a ps4/og bones are p ancient and get some new tech or suck it up. you can push more pixels from a new smartphone than those machines.

The Taxi collection quest is one of the best checklist sidequests I've seen in a game.
