New RPG just announced by CD Projeckt Red! (They of Witcher fame) (I'll add more details as they arrive) So, what is it? I've never seen one bef....... Apparently it's a game based on the board game Cyberpunk and will feature all of CD Projeckt Red's trademark mature content and advanced RPG mechanics.

PC users, please pre-order on GOG so Steam doesn't take their cut

(or don't pre-order)

I know I should order from GOG but I like my games on Steam and I will eventually get it from GOG on GOG Connect

Yupp, as much as I want it Digitally just for convenience and be able to play it at midnight, it does sound like the physical comes with some nice stuff.

Message from the devs about gameplay footage, preorders and editions of the game

Considering that message and their communication in general with the fanbase during TW3 release and aftermath, I really like CDPR's way of doing business.

Maybe in the basement of their HQ they worship the devil and sacrifice kittens, but from what I can see I like them and wish them all of the success with their releases.

Honest, transparent, to the point, fair to their fanbase - Quite a few other studios could do with taking a page out of CDPR's handbook.

Remember this post last so we can blame Sephiroth for jinxing it if/when it gets delayed

Speaking of, did Witcher 3 have delays?

Is the CE available for pre-order here or in the UK yet? I’ve only seen it on Best Buy so far.

Gamestop said they will be the only shop in Ireland to stock it, should have it on the site tomorrow. Expected to be around 250 which I would prefer to put towards a 4k TV before this comes out. I love the statue though and the key chain.

I used to buy on GOG (142 games there) but Steam's proton and Valve investing untold amounts of money and staff into open source projects to better support linux has made me buy almost exclusively there now. That said I won't be per-ordering either way and will wait to see how its launch week goes.

Although I do like their business model their history of lying, apologising for memes and even assisting journos to ruin one of their own staff's career has made me never trust them on their word ever again.

Just checked their site and it’s up there now (€259.99)! Trying to decide between risking a delivery for release date or collecting in store, any have previous experience with them for release date deliveries, are they reliable? It’d be handier for me than going in for it. I’m going to book the week off for this and I don’t want to be left without it for the weekend after all that.

Im wondering the same, mostly looking at collection in store instead though. I called up earlier and they said priority will be given to online orders - was gonna preorder for collection but i dont know if ill be guaranteed a copy.

That news about the breathtaking guy has been everywhere. The cynic in me thinks he was a plant for meme-y coverage.

But on the other hand, Keanu is breathtaking.

Does anyone remember the witcher 3 hype in the lead up to it's release? It's a genuine question - I'm late to the game myself and have no idea what was going prior to the title dropping. Was it better than the hype? Did the hype oversell it? Somewhere in between?

For what it's worth, I have a lot of faith in these guys. I've been playing witcher 3 for the past few months and am still getting blown away by the amount of quality work and thought that went into it. It set a very high bar in a genre that already had some really good titles in it.

Overall it was very well received and delivered on many of its promises however it's worth noting a video I posted earlier that shows they did in fact lie about graphics and redkit.

I remember people noticing the graphical downgrades live on their trailer stream straight away. It wasn't really the downgrade that annoyed me (still looks great imo) but their lying, dodging and silencing of the whole subject.

Pretty sure they said games are downgraded and sometimes videos are touched up before/after E3.....but the gamerz were having none of it and went with lying to complete their outrage.

Its the best game of its type, better than any Zelda!

I was hyped for it. I booked the week off work just for it and all.

It had some pretty ****e bugs at launch though. One or two gamebreaking ones if you got caught with it. Those weren't fun.

Witcher 3 is widely regarded as the best open world rpg of all time. Cyberpunk looks like it's taking that to another level.

I have a feeling cyberpunk will go down as the greatest game ever made.

Do many people have the same view?

What kind of longevity will it have? Online play like GTA that people are still playing years later? Or more like last of us where once your finished the story then there's not much keeping you there?

Yes, check out the steam or meta critic reviews.

Replay-ability from the branching story paths. DLC content and modding on PC.
