They wouldn't have announced the game had gone Gold if it hadn't been submitted for Certification already and been given the green light by both of the console manufacturers. However, as this Dude says, the Cert approval was probably given on the basis of a Day 1 Patch to fix any issues (likely not that uncommon a practice given a lot of other games have Day 1 patches these days). However, the probable conclusion is that the Day 1 patch didn't hit all of the criteria it needed to pass Cert on at least one of the current-gen consoles, which is the cause of the delay. It's already been outlined that its an issue with Current gen only, and given at least provisionally the game was given enough of a green light that CDP announced the game had gone Gold this idea that the game is somehow a complete shitshow flies in the face of logic.

I made a thread from an article I read, I have no opinion on it, just relaying info.So basically you made a thread based on what Kiciński said, but now that you've been called out for quoting out of context, what Kiciński says doesn't matter anymore?
That's cute
Call out whoever wrote the article I copied not me bud.
If I were to give my take on it? We know they aren't good with promising dates and they have shoddy management, but as long as the delays guarantee a good game I am happy.

*tweet.
Before "relaying info" you may want to ensure that it's accurate and stop defending it once it's proven that it's completely meaningless since the context is opposite.

That is a very interesting read. Thank you for linking that mate!

? It is an article from PushSquare.
Go on their site and read it yourself.
Again I think there is a confusion around what post we are discussing, the tweet was the Reddit Developer Comment, this thread is regarding the ARTICLE I copied from PushSquare, hope that clears things up.
And it isn't completely meaningless, it would be nice to hear more reassuring words, but we just have to sit and have hope that they deliver on time.

Maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was a clue all along

There are plenty reassuring words in the full transcript of the conference which I linked above for your convenience.
Also, again, this should likely give you a good example of the fact that you should likely not read Pushsquare lol. The out of context cherry-picking for hits is pathetic.

I read that and agree with you, thank you for linking that to me mate it is much appreciated.
And maybe I will steer clear from them from now on.

Holy mismanagement batman. Seriously, just delay it until spring/summer and make sure it's polished and with next gen patch instead.

Well the PS5 and Series X versions are just slightly enhanced current gen versions of the game.
So what you'd be asking them to do is just release the PC version for now.

I wish them all the best! Expectations are kinda getting out of hand but they did hype this so big themselves, so soon its time to deliver, exciting times! and confident the studio will pull of an amazing game, not sure anymore if the game will launch this year...

Gamers I promise 2077 is coming soon. Please don't cancel your pre-orders and shift your money to COD and lootboxes.

If I I can play with next-gen patch day one , delay it again.
Something like February or even March.
I prefer a finished product.

Agreed.
Whats funny, is if they didn't make all those dumbass statements, I don't even think this would have been THAT bad.
Be like "No mandatory crunch"
Also them "ok maybe a lil bit"
Be like "no more delays"
Also them "ok maybe like 3 or 4"
Them being unsure about this is really, really hurting them. They need to fire that management or PR person that keeps making some of these dumbass statements and choices to give a release date when they are unsure.
This game has had literally 4 release dates in 2020 yet folks are really wondering why many of us feel its coming in 2021 or should come in 2021?

Agreed. They need to stop making new dates, they were wrong several times now. I'd have no issue with them just delaying it until they are actually sure. Who ever keeps assuming the game is fine and giving a date needs to fucking be fired.

Thx for the transcript !
Not gonna lie, that eases the pain and I'm confident more than ever it will drop Dec. 10th, just too much at stake if they miss this deadline, business wise, fan base, canceled pre-orders etc..
Current gen was a mistake, or the very least push it to early nxt yr. Don't punish early next gen adopters, and not to mention PC and next gen is Reggie!!!!

Well well well, could we see another delay to Cyberpunk 2077?
Speaking during CD Projekt Red's latest call with shareholders, Adam Kiciński said: "We feel — maybe not comfortable, but confident [in the new release date]." This isn't the kind of comment that you want to hear if you're betting on Cyberpunk hitting its new date.
Even Michal Nowakowski, vice president of business development, doesn't seem totally sold on the idea. When asked if the game would definitely launch on the 10th December, he replied: "That's more or less what I'm saying, I guess — yes."
The delay is something that CD Projekt Red clearly wasn't planning on until very recently. The game's marketing machine was already in full swing, with all kinds of adverts highlighting the previous 19th November release date. Hell, some ads even had Keanu Reeves star in them.

Yes. This time it'll be delayed until Spring of 2021 which they should have done the very first time.

Wish they would have just delayed it to April or something so we wouldn’t have to see that goddamn yellow message again in a couple weeks.

halo infinite incoming?
Whenever companies invest $500 million or so, they just get a cold feet discussing shortcoming of their games.
As if nobody is gonna find out.

“
having a few things done which wouldn’t have been done in time for the 19th will work in our favor. We feel – maybe not comfortable [chuckle], but confident and will are releasing on the 10th.”
And the other question...
“
Q10: Okay, so – basically – we can be comfortable now that the game is definitely coming out on December 10, is that what you’re saying?
MN: That’s more or less what I’m saying, I guess – yes.”
They are clearly not sure... I guess - yes.

Unless a pre-order has some real snazzy discount or bonus content you really need, never bother with a pre-order. Digital copies never run out and physical copies never do either. I've never pre-ordered a digital game and the only time I did them was when disc pre-orders were selling for $50 during the E3 promotions when the regular price was $70. Back then some stores even did Buy 2 Get 1 Free. Worth doing during the disc era for games reliably coming out later that fall like COD and EA Sports.
And definitely don't do it with games with sketchy or unknown release dates.
One of the dumbest pre-orders I saw was when MS showed Below on Xbox. E3 2013. System wasn't even out yet. At that time you could have pre-ordered Below from Future Shop and Best Buy Canada for $60.
Game ended up coming out in December 2018 at an indie price of around $20.

Also anybody who blames current gen for this are getting angry at the wrong thing, the game started development years ago so they should have calibrated everything to run on the well known specs of the Xbox One/PS4 they clearly didnt
Seems like the project leads(the ones making all the big money) just adopted a moving target approach

Maximum chance of charting as the number one game and the increased sales that brings.

They just presented them completely out of context with a completely different intent compared to what Kichinski actually had. But for some reason, I'm not surprised you'd defend it.
