If CDPR gave a release date and the game was buggy or the story seemed rushed on release, people would be saying that they've fallen off and can't make a good game anymore or all they care about is money, etc. If they say that it'll be ready when it's ready, then you get apes making topics like this. Really? I bought it launch day and had a completely different impression of it. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

They've always been open that the game was going to be a long way away. Witcher 3 was their priority until 2016. This isn't a development he'll situation.
They released the teaser to see how people would react to the announcement. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Witcher 3 is a massive game and games like it will always have issues just due to the size and the openness of what you can do in it. They put out patches quickly and communicated with the players on their forums, what else are they supposed to do in the early months of a game release?

When you start going over a couple years of development, the project is absolutely doomed. Even if it turns out to be great, gets rave reviews, and sells out on release day, it can usually never overcome the years of development costs and years of advertising, not to mention the risk of technology being outpaced or a new generation of systems being released. Just look at Sleeping Dogs, or Duke Nukem Forever, or Daikatana, or pretty much any vaporware.

They put out patches quickly and communicated with the players on their forums, what else are they supposed to do in the early months of a game release? The problem was that every new patch broke something else. At the start they were more interested in fixing harmless money exploits than actuall bugs and a DLC quest stayed broken for ages.

When you start going over a couple years of development Here's a man who clearly knows how long it takes to make a video game. Protip: A game announcement does not mean that development has begun. Breath of the Wild was in development for two years before it was announced at E3 2014. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dash_Harber posted...When you start going over a couple years of development Calm the hell down, I'm just pointing out that the longer a game sits in development hell (whether the game is actually being built or they are just paying to advertise it/design it/concept art/etc), the more it's going to cost and the less room there is for profit. ...

I don't think you know what "development hell" means. "Actually being built" is just "development", pure and simple. The "hell" part is only added when things happen like team restructuring, not hitting milestones, scrapping elements of the game, moving to a new platform or engine, and so forth.
Back to my Breath of the Wild analogy, Miyamoto stated back in 2016 that it had to move 2 million copies to make a profit. It has moved 4.7 million as of last October, justifying its total five year development time. Yes, longer development times means a greater profit needs to be turned, but focusing on the developer in question, CDPR made a profit off of Witcher 3. There's little reason to worry that this long development time will have a negative effect on the company. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't care I'm hyped. My hype was high, then it fell when it appeared we'd have a fixed protagonist that looked/sounded very meh, then it went back up when I saw CDPR's message about what the game will have and character creation.

No, TC is partially right. If we're going to give companies like Square Enix shit for taking forever to release a game, then we need to give everyone shit for taking forever to release a game. No, SE's rep has been shit for the last 5 years and there were a myriad of rumors regarding the stalled and flawed development of FFXV--And the FFVII remake. There was no reason to cut them slack or assume the outcome would be worth the wait. Which is the exact opposite of CDPR. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...

I mean hasn't CD Project Red been super transparent about all this? They "announced" Cyberpunk 2077 when Witcher wasn't even done yet, and said they're not gonna work on it until all the DLC was done and they're saying now that they don't know how long it's gonna be yet, it could be a while.

Indeed. 2077 entered pre-production in 2016. There's really no reason to think it's in any sort of "development hell". ... Copied to Clipboard!
