So, despite strong initial sales, we know cyberpunk wasn’t quite the hit cd projekt red was hoping for. After almost a decade of teasing and building a lot of hype, The initial praise quickly soured once the abysmal console ports were playable for everyone. People also started to notice other flaws. Missing features that were promised, such as a working police force. For as incredible as night city is, it felt empty. Not quite the living city we were hoping for. And bugs, bugs a plenty.
Though i sound like a hater, i promise you im not. Ive put 30 hours into it on xbox series x, ive put up with all these issues plus a myriad of broken side quests and soft locks. Im tough on this game because i know it can and should be better!
Now cd projekt red has been pretty quiet this year, no doubt bunkering down to polish the game to a sheen. Now that it is back on psn, that should be some stress off their shoulders. Still people arent excited for this game anymore. This was meant to be their big money maker to carry them through the next ten years until their next projekt is ready. They cant just drop it, i dont think they could afford to since their next game is so far off.
My theory is that once the “next gen” native versions are ready, its going to be treated by them as a huge relaunch of the game. They will surely try their best to get excitement back to where it was when the game launched last december, so im expecting a new marketing push too, with trailers played during sporting events on tv. With any luck these next gen ports will have many of the features currently missing from the main game. It will essentially be the game that should have launched. I dont know if they will ever rebuild hype like they had it, but if they can turn this around, it can be a game with long legs to at least carry them for the next 6-10 years until their next game is ready.
