I’ve been wondering, what is CDPR’s next project going to be? Now, if you know anything about projected development, when they’re ready to release a game (As in Cyberpunk for Example), they’re already working on their next title.
As a console player my dream would be remakes of witcher 1 + 2!

A couple of podcasts have stated CDPR was actually working another project, but completely set it aside until Cyberpunk is at its ‘pinnacle and performing optimally’.

Genuinely curious, but I’m just thinking out loud here.
Isn't their next game likely to be The Witcher 4?

Story boarding is likely in development but not coding. CDPR's newest gaming engine was development in parallel with CP2077 which is the launch title for the engine.

Coding for their next game has unlikely begun or is on hold until best practises from the next gen version of the W3 and CP2077 are ready.

From what I remember W3 was supposed to tie up Geralt's story. If they changed their mind I would love that. There are other Witchers they could focus on though.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Witcher was another game in their series, I just didn’t know if anybody heard any specific details maybe like what their next consideration was. But given how things are right now with CP, I’m sure that’s probably not a main priority.

A new game would be great. However a next installment to a successful franchise like the Witcher is the path of least resistance.
 
I mean Cyberpunk failed because they tried to run a PS6 game on a launch PS4 from 2013.....

You can blame the company for that but it runs fine on the PS5 a little buggy but so is Assassins Creed Valhalla and FIFA 21 for PS5 crashes every 2 hours for me. Games are buggy especially large ones like Cyber Punk. I just really really wish they would have added 3rd person view
 
This is awful and no business deserve this happening to them.

CDPR have been hacked and are now victims of ransomware.☹️

This is the message left by the hackers:

There’s more to it than that, but I would leave a source/link next time for other members:

Also, It doesn’t appear that any personal credential/sensitive material was captured.

CDPR:

Although some devices in our network have been encrypted, our backups remain intact" the studio confirms, before noting that they refuse to negotiate with the responsible party.
The developer also confirms that, to the best of its knowledge, the data compromised did not include any personal information of customers or users.

Colour me surprised LOL, an army of shills with the odd good guy here and there. No accountability so they just generate what produces the most clicks. As they say kiss asses and save asses. CP2077 was, is and clearly remains to be a very flawed release. Reviewers giving such titles elevated scores are either either playtesting a special release's or blatantly lying for their own purposes...

Throwing an opinion out there...

Get the right actors (not quite sure who I’d pick)...and done right...the story of this game could make one hell of a movie.
 
Keanu would be perfect for Johnny Silverhand! j/k. I would watch it.
Haha that's one casting choice you'd be stupid NOT to make! It really does have a story line that could be done well in movie form, but I won't get my hopes up 😂

I'm sure a tough part about it would be the question of "which ending?" If it were my decision, I'd go with basing it off of the Nomad one.
 
Just looked it up! I'll have to check it out!
You'll see where some of CDPR's inspiration came from :) Second season isn't bad, however not a patch on the first series which is near film production levels, execution and actual adult TV entertainment for a change. Needless to say Netflix spoilt the mix with the second series, diluting the production, worse content & story, naturally the third season was cancelled 🙄

Think like Westworld Season one to Westworld season two, Altered Carbon season one is an absolute must for those into the Cyberpunk genre...

Did read that there was some potential for CP2077 to hit the small screen, however after the launch fiasco and ongoing negative press likely somewhat diminished. As said if wanting Cyberpunk on the small screen Altered Carbon. First season seriously kicks arse, doesn't **** around and is actually adult entertainment something CDPR should had stuck too...

Yeah. Altered carbon season one was mind teoering and cool.

I still believe they CP2077 had the potential to be one most successful franchises in gaming.

All it takes is for the studio and shareholders to relaunch the game but make it significantly better.

Potential exists, however they need to look to a long-term goal not just a cash grab. Looking at the number of players trailing off it's not overly promising as the fewer people play CP2077 the less CDPR will likely do, until they decide to focus on another project.

Personally I seriously doubt we will ever get the game as it was originally alluded and be stuck with this shallow Looter/Shooter. Best thing CDPR could do is tone down the profanity, cut the romance and drop the age and let a younger audience enjoy the game which TBH it seems far more suited for than adults.

Whatever CDPR does I do know one thing I wont support them by pre-ordering or purchasing at launch as they have shown their hand and now we know that they are no better than any of the other greedy developers.

1613186057117.png
Discounted already on GOG, no doubt CDPR want to stimulate sales as they need the base CCP2077 to succeed to launch the online Play to Win, Loot Box version no doubt that will be open to the younger audience.

Anyone considering Cyberpunk 2077 should simply wait as that discount is only going to increase and it will likely take CDPR best part of 2021 if not longer to fix the bugs, let alone the poor game mechanics that have been bested by some games 15-20 years back...

CDPR has a long-standing history of just focusing on one game for years.

The most important franchise to CDPR is The Witcher so in all likelihood they will pivot back to their primary moneymaker.

No one is eagerly anticipating Cyberpunk 2097.

Let me tell you, I’ve been following CDPR 2077 when the graphic art originated back in 2010, that was even before core development even started for 2012, so what does that tell you how long of a fan I’ve been? And being probably one of the most experienced gamers in this forum, that by far was the worst launch I’ve ever witnessed on any video game ever. And it’s not even so much about the technical issues, even the gameplay mechanics were still sloppy in some areas with the driving, animation controls were wonky, cloud rendering was shoddy, the sound effects were decently realistic with Guns, but still off with certain gameplay elements. Sure, is the customization really unique to the vehicles, player character models, but what does that matter if the gameplay mechanics are broken.

To be clear, I played Cyberpunk extensively, and I enjoyed it primarily for what it was, but I sold it over a month ago, because I had no interest in any more of the side missions and ‘long term promises’ made by the company timeline.

Let me put it this way, I don’t really consider CDPR to be one of the top developers, I think they don’t have enough titles really to be considered a ‘top developer’, but I think they’re a notable developer in a sense of the work that they put into their projects extensively, and what did the gamer receive in 2020 with CDPR 2077? A broken, dismantled game, followed by deception and a hacked release.

Trust me when I tell you this, I’m not mad at all, I’m just extremely disappointed as one of the most biggest fans of this game over the last decade and this is what we were given? Gamers now are expecting a higher quality piece of where we stand in the gaming industry, and the fact that they couldn’t even be more honest is a very telling sign. Forget about the fact that was broken when it released, it’s the fact that they can’t be trusted.

Oh, just looking at used prices right now, you can find a copy of Cyberpunk for less than $20. So what does that tell everybody in here? I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

Ironically CDPR was in a unique position where they could have come forward, been open and honest about the state of the game with the public, released it as early access and still made very significant revenue. Most of all avoiding the negativity and complete loss of trust. Similar I'm very disappointed in the game, more so CDPR's actions towards it's customers...

I absolutely agree CP2077 should not have been released in the state it's in. I still consider them a great dev shop. The Witcher 3 is one of my all time favorite games. They took a silly mini-game (Gwent) and made it in a full fledged game. I've been playing it for years and still play it every day. The animated art on the cards is incredible and they just released another major update for it a few days ago.
