*** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

When a game is delayed this like more often than not it's a sign of serious development issues rather then simply a case of them wanting to add polish whatever they claim.

I hope I'm wrong though

Especially after it’s gone gold, can’t say I’ve known too many games to be delayed at this stage.
 
More time for AC:V and WD, wasn't going to get UPlay+ but might do it for a couple of months and play CP in the new year (or whenever it does release).

Might be a little better value now I don't need to rush them as much.

Announcing that the game will see "no more delays!" and that it has "gone gold!", only to delay it again, really doesn't sit well with me. I don't think we'll see a release before 2021 at this rate.

How can a game go gold and still get delayed? going gold means the games finished.

The gold versions are sent to publishers for certification. With the consoles they are also sent to the manufacturers to be certified by them for release on their respective machines.

Gold means the dev has completed the game but it still needs to pass certification. It’s looking like it failed certification by one of the console partners.

Saying that I can’t think of any game that has gone gold and then been delayed.

That's what you get trying to rush a game out quickly.

Which Is the long version of what I mean.
 
Everyone knows the real reason - its the incorporation and optimisation of RTX features in the game especially for Ampere GPUs.

With the Witcher 3,remember it was delayed for "further optimisations" and everyone on forums said it was those blooming consoles. Yet in those few months you saw a whole lot of Gameworks features added for Maxwell GPUs as Nvidia sponsored it.

Nvidia is sponsoring this game too,and it seems all these delays conveniently allow for the whole Ampere stack from the RTX3090 to the RTX3060 to be released(the RTX3060 is late next month).

It could be the consoles,but CDPR is on record saying the current version for consoles is for the previous generation,and it will be an enhanced version of that for the new consoles. The "next generation" version,which I assume means the version with RT will be out next year,and apparently RDNA2 RT support won't be there at launch too.

Rightly or wrongly, COVID is going to be the go to reason/excuse - whichever way you look at it - for a loooooong time to come. Not condoning it but that’s the way the world works.

Other than working from home being a contributing factor they didn't explicitly mention COVID.

It's as if half the people in this thread haven't read their tweet.

I remember last time with the Witcher 3. It was also delayed at the last minute and it was all consoles,crunch time,they need extra people,etc. Nothing to do with Nvidia,zero,nada,not a sausage.

Then all of a sudden CDPR incorporated Gameworks features into the game,which replaced in-house developed methods seen on the other releases.

Nvidia isn't sponsoring this game out of kindness! :p

If you follow the development builds,RT was only shown off relatively recently and was a feature added last year, late in the development cycle. So around 9 months before the game should have released.

This is a game which has been in development for over 5 years.

CDPR said this summer,the consoles will be running a more basic build with no RT,until next year:
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/cyberpunks-ps5-xbox-series-x-2021/

“The next-gen version is planned for the next year and the plans are still in place – we’ve never revealed specific dates, but it’s planned for the next year, so the delay doesn’t change much in this regard,” CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński told investors on Thursday.

So they state the delay until November was nothing to do with the consoles!

https://www.thegamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-nvidia-ray-tracing-launch/

The only place where you can get ray tracing support for Cyberpunk 2077 at launch will be using an Nvidia GPU, so only PCs with the latest GeForce cards will experience the glory of simulated light in Cyberpunk’s neon-infused world.

This news comes from PC Gamer Magazine (via Gfinity Esports) where CD Projekt Red art director Jakup Knapik told the publication that AMD support for ray tracing will come in a later update. GeForce Now, Nvidia's game streaming service, will also support ray tracing along with RTX-enabled GPUs.

While this means that computers with AMD cards won't get ray tracing at launch, it also means that next-gen consoles won't get ray tracing at launch either. Both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X use AMD-sourced graphics processors, so Cyberpunk's next-gen graphics tech won't work fresh out of the box.

So the delay is nothing to do with consoles,since CDPR isn't focussing on them until next year.

The delay is for a feature added very late in development - RTX for Nvidia GPUs,and CDPR needs time to actually get it to run better on the new Ampere GPUs IMHO.

The game only added RT last year,which is very late in the development cycle as it was meant to be released over six months ago.

So its probably down to getting RTX to work properly with the game.

I wish they had not added RTX at launch and just got it out earlier,then added RTX in a later patch or expansion.
