If you want to look at context you could pull up the other teleconference calls, both said at the time they were confident to release, and we know what happened then.
The cert process generally has two sets of criteria - deal breakers that fail outright (e.g. crashing, using incorrect platform trademarks like button names/icons, etc.), and things that don’t cause outright failure but are worth a point value. If a game accumulates too many points, it also results in cert failure. However, if the game has few enough points, it can pass cert with no required changes.
There’s also window between a full pass and cert failure called “conditional pass” which is not quite bad enough to fail, but still bad enough to require fixes. Conditional passes come with a list of must-fix issues in a day 1 patch. No day 1 patch means no approval. What almost certainly happened was that Cyberpunk 2077 got a conditional cert pass due to enough issues that weren’t bad enough to fail cert outright but also weren’t benign enough to get a full pass. This was their “going gold” status - they got the conditional pass from cert.
Longtime readers should know that patches also require certification and can also fail… which is almost certainly what happened in this case. CDPR most likely failed cert for their day 1 patch and thus must continue to crunch to try to fix it. They probably did not expect to fail cert (again), but they also cannot release the game without passing cert, so they had to delay the game (again) despite “going gold”.
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

That is a very interesting read. Thank you for linking that mate!
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.
? It is an article from PushSquare.*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.
? 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.
I read that and agree with you, thank you for linking that to me mate it is much appreciated.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.
Is there something legally preventing them from just releasing it on PC/PS5/XBSX now (since its supposively good to go) and at a later date for the other consoles?
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]."
Some old fuck did that ages ago.It has affected me I agree, was so hyped to take down Gus.
Honestly I'm beginning to think they have bitten off more than they can chew with this game.
All these delays are just making thing worse for them as well. With each delay comes added scrutiny and even more bullshit tears about "crunch". The SJW reviewers will be out for blood more than ever.
It would be in their best interests to actually not set a date and then surprise everyone. They don't even need a marketing cycle for this game anymore, everyone in gaming circles (and even some non gaming circles) is aware of it by now and it will sell like hotcakes.
Quoted completely out of context. I suggest reading the whole thing (which the OP conveniently hasn't linked), because it certainly gives a different impression.
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.
DAMN THOSE JAGUAR CORES
Cyberpunk 2077 Dev 'Not Comfortable, but Confident' in December Release Date

Why did you remove the exactly part the OP quoted?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!!!!

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.Glad I cancel my pre-order.
Stick with one date and I'll be there day one. Until there, just words and gaffers excuse.
Lmao just delay it "until its done" and stop with this nonsense.
Why do they have to release all versions at once?
I read...
The quotes are exactly the same... the article didn’t changed them.
