Take your time, CD Projekt. Make the game we expect from you.

 

[Nibel]

Oh that's a shame, I was looking forward to... oh wait, no I wasn't.

Then why the fuck do you post here?

 

[SiRatul]

Man, what a bummer. But it's good I guess. More time for the them to make it an outstanding game and one less game to distract me from my thesis this fall.

 

[anexanhume]

What does this mean for Cyberpunk 2077?

[Pro]

Yes, actually. No game with last-gen development happening will take full advantage of the benefits X1 and PS4 have over PS3/360. The devs can be ambitious, but only to a certain extent of the word. Current-gen console owners are in the position PC gamers were in with PS3/360; sure your console is 10x faster, but all you get is a prettier and better performing version of the game.

With a whole extra year now, I wonder if they will be able to take more advantage of the PS4 hardware though? I'm curious to see how the PC version will compare with the PS4. If they can get the PS4 version running faster and looking smoother I'm all for the delay. Normally I'd just go PC all the way, but Tomb Raider Definitive Edition had me rethinking...

 

[zeroeffect]

One of many to come...expect the same thing for Dragon Age,FFXV,etc etc...

Yea, the pessimistic side of me feels the same. Seems to always happen when a new generation opens up game development slows learning the new consoles.

 

[BULLH0RN]

This news is bad, and makes Bullhorn feel sad.

 

[hellboy69]

not really upset since it will give the team more time to polish the game.

but disappointed since it is my most anticipated game

I give this post an IGN 8/10

[Moff]

GOTY 2015 then

 

[kamspy]

It's already March. It would have to be pretty much wrapped up.

Seems too soon. A lot of 2014 announcements feel too soon now that it's actually 3/14. And in a weird way where I'm not mad at the dev for missing the date. The year seemed to really creep up on everyone.

Time flies.

 

[Lunar15]

GOTY 2015 then

B...but Persona 5 is also 2015...

God, 2015 is going to be fucking awesome.

 

[romulus91]

makes sense ...... if i was a business man i would place my game after a holiday season also

 

[Vibranium]

Take your time CDPR, take your time!

I will wait for anything they've got in the pipeline, it's all good. Polish and optimization are important!

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

2014 gets more disappointing bit by bit.

 

[Maligna]

Nooo! I'm not even sad for Witcher 3. I'm sad for what this means for Cyberpunk 2077.

 

[Vibranium]

Nooo! I'm not even sad for Witcher 3. I'm sad for what this means for Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be fine, it's just a very ambitious game that CD Projekt are obviously pouring their heart into besides TW3. It's not going to be a Duke Nukem Forever situation, their people are infinitely better than 3DRealms/Gearbox with that game.

It just takes patience

 

[teh_rhn]

NOOO!!!

 

[Vibranium]

George Broussard just shed a single tear and doesn't know why.

I'm guessing you're joking, but I don't mean to offend George (I dig Duke 3D) or anything. The mess with Forever went beyond poor management and planning though, tons of very questionable design decisions.

Maybe their members can bounce back.

 

[friday]

What a bummer, but I also expected this to release before the fall, which was never the plan anyways it seems. It's hard to be upset about this one though, given how often games are pushed out too soon these days. Good to see are willing to push things back instead of under delivering.

 

[Faustek]

Sigh, they don't learn do they?

The console release last time nearly killed them. This time around they can probably manage but why not stand to your word and ignore the consoles and release in your own turf and release the console versions later? But then again I'm no marketing expert.

Spoiler

Yes it's pretty clear that they might be overstretched and the consoles aren't up to the task.

 

[Kaldea]

This hurts, but more time to make it better is always welcome to me.

 

[Sentenza]

I'm not even just sad for this news. I'm grieving.

 

[justsomeguy]

Same month as I turn

Spoiler

sob.

Oh well, by then my PC will be ready!

 

[Ambient80]

Gotta have time to downgrade those graphics!!

I kid I kid. But srsly, this gives me time to build an amazeballs PC before it is released. Game looks crazy ambitious, and I hope they can keep everything looking and playing great.

 

[RyudBoy]

Good.

Maybe I'll have a PS4 by then. I don't want a gimped XB1 version.

 

[Messofanego]

B...but Persona 5 is also 2015...

God, 2015 is going to be fucking awesome.

Maybe if Persona 5 had graphics, I'd be interested.

just kidding

Well perfect birthday.

First your friends kidnap you, force you to wear something humiliating, think superman boxers atop of a pink wrestling suite, force you to drink until you can speak a dead language and finally two/three days later you'll wake up to Witcher 3.

Perfect.

 

[justsomeguy]

Good.

Both will be gimped compared to the PC version. Oh my poor wallet - this game will be my excuse for a new rig

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

More time for me to save up for a new PC, more time for optimization.
Well I am good with that.

Let this be a finale we can never forget, CDPR, I have my whole faith in the world in you.

 

[justsomeguy]

Sounds kind of awesome to me.

 

[Kaako]

First thing I read when I woke up just now...this freaking sucks. ;_;

 

[Corto]

More time to gather more money to upgrade my PC. Perfect! Thanks CD Projekt!

 

[HeelPower]

Thanks, yeah I know this is the company line but it sounds a bit like PR fluff to me. 2 really important people left the company under grayish circumstances and I wouldn't expect CD Projekt to come out and publicly say that it has hurt development of the game.

I'm a tiny bit worried tbh. Just a touch lol.

Of course he will say that.

Anyway, this is badgood news...or goodbad.

well I agree.There is no way for that to have not affected development.
Two critical people leaving a relatively small dev team working on a giant game.

 

[Blastoise]

Very very disappointed about this. I'm too pissed off about everything getting delayed. I wish people would only announce games around a month before release.

 

[Replicant]

Need Dolan's "everything delayed" jpg.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

It's a shame but they obviously think it needs the time. I'd rather have a better game and wait a bit longer.

It is disappointing though.

 

[RalliArtEvo]

very disappointing news, was my most anticipated game this year!

 

[Das Ace]

[ekka4shiki]

I'm okay with this. Take your time, CDPR.

 

[mcteapot]

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror"

 

[Nokterian]

I don't mind either take all the time you need CDPR..really how more polish there is on The Witcher 3 the better my poor GTX780 will know its faith next year when playing it.

 

[CornDogg]

This just gives me time to get my PC fixed so I can play through the first two.

 

[woober]

The flire in that gif really is something else.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Good more time to upgrade the ol compy and play more backlog.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Just enough time to downgrade it.

This is exactly what I thought.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[IllumiNate]

2015 year of the RPG

 

[dazzlerazzle]

One less game piled up for Holiday 2014 is always a plus

 

[vxXJordanXxv]

Ass. That sucks I just hope they end the game well. I'm sick of playing excellent story games that end up with them killing the protagonist.
