In the latest Cyberpunk 2077 News, a GeForce
RTX Series trailer was released, which show
cased some new snippets of gameplay, perhaps
most notable of which was the Kang-Tao Robots.
It’s not worth attempting to extrapolate
any additional information from such gameplay,
because those individuals who actually could
provide something of value to our current
corpus of knowledge, are not allowed to say
anything publicly at this moment in time.
The specs on the RTX new cards certainly look
impressive. Night City simply looks gorgeous.
However, the question remains whether the
RTX offers noticeable improvements for Cyberpunk
2077 compared to current GPU’s. Ideally
gameplay footage should have been presented
comparing RTX with previous offerings. Speaking
of hardware, CDPR would follow up on the reveal
by making a public statement concerning storage
space, indicating that the game will not require
200GB when installed, in response to a random
discussion on Reddit. So basically, it is
another non-story. It also implies that the
ever elusive PC requirements will eventually
be released.
CDPR would release new music, Hole in the
Sun by Point Break Candy. You can find the
full song on my 2077 soundtrack playlist or
via the official channel. The lyrics are rather
nice.
It was confirmed that the Night City media
might react to a couple of events that happen
during your story, but most of the time, they
will not be reacting to V’s actions.
CDPR announced a collaboration with Rockstar
Energy Drink, although this is specific to
the North American market. Normally, this
is not newsworthy, however as part of the
codes you can unlock several Cyberpunk 2077
comics titled Where’s Johnny. Naturally
the Cyberpunk 2077 IP lends itself very well
to comic adaptations. Seems odd though, that
given CDPR’s reputation for being gamer
friendly, region specific exclusives like
this are starting to emerge, which seemingly
alienate large sections of their fanbase.
As usual, a cornucopia of fake news has been
circulating concerning the reveal of Night
City Wire Episode 3. This is in relation to Cyberpunk
2077 appearing at the Tokyo Game Show on September
26th. While it seems plausible that CDPR might
show something new at this event, after all,
Japan is influential on Night City and the
home of anime. That said, it will be CDPR
who announce the date when Night City Wire Episode
3 is coming. No one else.
The CD PROJEKT Group, involving speakers,
Adam Kicinski, Piotr Nielubowicz and Michal
Nowakowski, would release their financial
report covering 1st January to 30th June.
Effectively the succinct version of events
is that CD PROJEKT are financially very healthy.
It was confirmed that the proper next gen
version of Cyberpunk 2077 will be released
in 2021. What you will receive in 2020, are
merely minor improvements.
On the question of monetisation and 2077 multiplayer,
Adam Kicinski commented that:
The main marketing push will start a couple
of weeks before the release of the game. Apparently,
you have seen nothing yet.
