The abysmal launch of Cyberpunk 2077

article image placeholderThe controversies of ‘Cyberpunk 2077′s’ bungled launch, explained
I think the game clocked in at over 120 hours, if I'm not mistaken, just stunning. Right. And so it was announced in 2012 that the same developers who did that game are creating Cyberpunk 2077. It's this sort of Dystopian Steampunk future. Right? I am in Sign me up. That is right up my alley. And so we're waiting and we're waiting and we're waiting. The game just doesn't seem to be coming out

That indeed is not the way to start a franchise.

They're not the only ones, of course, but yeah, now we're in a day and age where the days of being a kid opening up your video game for the console and waiting for the load screen. That was the biggest gripe. Whereas now you have, like, Updating OS and Firmwares and all that stuff. So anyway, thanks for speaking about this on Swell. I honestly thought I would have never heard this on Swell. So that's kind of cool

But a lot of the people like the game reviewers that were submitting early reviews of the game were not allowed to release any footage from the games that they were playing. They had to release company provided footage. I think that that's what happened again. I should probably independently research this and then update it later. But what I will do is I'm going to post a video right now of a comparison is astonishingly bad

Yikes!

But man, I've never seen where you're walking up to someone and it takes a little while to render and the final render. I mean, it looks okay. The cops outfit with his face. Yeah, it looks really bad. And man, what a comparison? 2018 to the PS four current one. It's pretty awful. That is bad, but I'm pretty sure that's not the same thing that's going on with PS. I'm at a loss for words

And I'm sure it takes a lot of work and hats off to the people that are doing it, but how there's no level of transparency with the customer where you're like, hey, guys, you're getting a seriously, seriously messed up product here. Don't get it. I mean, I know that they want to make money, but we're seeing that that's blowing up in their face, their faces. I don't know how it was a viable option for them

So a bit of an update. This is a little bit unexpected and a pretty huge move on Sony's behalf. They have made another statement about issuing refunds and are going to help facilitate that. A bit easier, easier to make it a bit easier for people. And on top of that, they're going to be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from the Sony PlayStation Store until further notice. I honestly don't know if I can recall a time that this has happened
