Bugs in a mess, sex toys everywhere, consoles sacrificed ... What's the mess with "Cyberpunk 2077"?
Bugs in a mess, sex toys everywhere, consoles sacrificed ... What's the mess with "Cyberpunk 2077"?
After initial positive feedback from the PC game, "Cyberpunk 2077" takes a backlash for its console version totally bugged and sacrificed
Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be the video game event of the end of the year, or even the year, and it is, but perhaps not as the fans expected. Nor its creators, the Polish CD Projekt. Still, everything was off to a good start with a stock market value of more than $9 billion for the studio, eight million pre-orders for the game, and early reviews on Monday, just days before the release, overall positive. Maybe not up to the hype, but everyone considered the game a visual slap, an ultra immersive world, if not a great action-RPG to the Witcher 3 and a few bugs and sex toys.
"These are sacrificed versions, sometimes like a Switch version."
A Day One patch, almost as big as the game, was needed and available on the day of release. What about sex toys, godemichets? There are many in the game, too much for some of the first players, who have questioned their symbolism, other than phallic. The symbol of society's decadence? Yes, we've known less shortcuts and more inspired. Is this being (cyber) punk for CD Projekt? The "controversy" was full of bugs and dildos when the game was finally released on Thursday, on PC but also on the consoles old gen, PS4 and Xbox One, of course compatible with the next gen. And there...
So it was a sign. The press was invited to test Cyberpunk 2077 only on PC, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions available the day before the release. And the Gamekult site is the first to sound the alarm live: "If you pre-ordered the game on PS4 or Xbox One, you have a few hours to cancel your pre-order. These are sacrificed versions, sometimes like a Switch version."
It's better on the next gen, At issue is a deserted city of its inhabitants, problems of textures, a frame rate to pick up, and finally a technique unworthy of the game but also machines, where could shoot Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us Part II.
Cyberpunk 2077 is back to life on PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and especially on the new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, thanks to the retrocompatibility, but the damage is done. To the point of seeing CD Projekt fall 10% on the stock market and lose two billion dollars in two days, as reported by Les Echos. Unexpectedly, this (road) release on physical consoles does the business of Stadia, Google's still-confidential cloud gaming service: "You always have problems playing Cyberpunk 2077 with your old stuff? We have a solution for you. Try Stadia where the game is nickel and you can play it without downloading or patching." Ouch.
