When did they officially become the most reliable developer in vidya?
Witcher 2
They made like 3 games in the past decade, chill out.
>most reliable
>actively lied about the downgrade
>>337597485
3 great games. How many other developers can say that?
>>337596649
this.
I'm really fearful of 2077 because if it fails then I imagine CDPR will too.
They make same AAA shit with Season Passes, DLCs and buggy games like the rest. Stop shilling you Polack fucks.
>>337597674
Not a single Witcher game has been great. Witcher 1 was bad. Witcher 2 was ok. Held back by unbalanced combat. Witcher 3 is taking W2 and instead of improving on it just inserting it into a Skyrim template with an even shittier combat and story. Their track record is awful.

>>337595583
>When did they officially become the most reliable developer in vidya?
when they created G,O,G to counteract PC drm (steam mainly)
their stance on the difference between DLC and expansions is inspiring, with the 16 free DLC they were trying to get the point across that other companies like jewbisoft WB, activision and EA are shilling us crap that they already made and held back for sheckles

>>337597623
For real why does everyone seem to forget this. The game looked exactly the same on ps4 as maxed on pc at launch, to me there's no excuse for that.
As far as I know that hasn't changed either. I'm a graphics whore so i still haven't even bothered to pirate the game because of this
>>337597674
Kek what a faggot
Witcher 3 isn't even playable to the end
>>337598021
Nice abysmal taste, dude
>>337599268
youre not missing anything, it isnt fun whatsoever
3 separate games with 4 separate combat systems between them and they havent managed to make it fun once...how can you fuck up killing guys with swords and magic in a fantasy settings? just how
maybe its that the character is fucking gay and i hate playing as him
What's the chance we'll get more content after B&W?
I'm hoping if it does really good then we might get something more, or at the least an enhanced edition like TW2 with a couple more quests or something.
>>337595583
When Platinum made Korra (TF Devastation is back on track though)
When Project Aces made Assault Horizon
When Kojima made MGSV
When Fromsoft ditched Armored Core
>tfw there won't be another game half as good as TW3 for decades
I doubt even Cyberpunk will top it desu.
>>337599420
fun is subjective
I found it really fun
Honestly, the best WRPG in fucking ages
>>337599679
don't reply to it.
anyone carried over a save to NG+? When you start off with good armour, how long will you be using it before you have to make a new one?
>>337597623
>>337599268
>retards not knowing the difference between downgrade and hardware optimization
>>337599906
yeah "optimization" for consoles so they downgraded it overall because if there was no platform parity why would anyone bother with console versions
they are dirty jews now tbqh
Why are people so skeptical about Cyberpunk?
>>337595583
When /v/ loved them when no one knew about them then proceeded to hate them when they got too popular.
>>337600506
it's just residual butthurt from MGSV mostly
>>337600116
If they released their alpha-version, only people at Nvidia with 2x1080 prototype cards would be able to run them.

>>337600697
yeah i'm sure they had double 1080s when they did their demo in 2014
>>337599843
lol as if im trolling or something
the game wasnt fun. theres a reason it has like 1000 players on steam at any time

>>337600697
Maybe.
I only have a shitty i5 2500k (4ghz OC)/560 ti and I can run it pretty well and it doesn't even look like shit either really
>>337600910
>>337596649
When they managed to make W1 with a budget that was 2 million more than Mighty No.9 and use Biowares shit-engine that was the only one they could afford at the time and still manage to release a decent RPGwith shitty but bearable time-and-click combat (again, cause of the shit engine)
>>337600116
not disagreeing with you because we all know it is the consoles that hold multiplat games like this back.
watchdogs was the most blatany downgrade that I remember in recent years and that is defiantly because of consoles, but the way game development works is that they would be creating the lighting, textures, shadows etc and running the pre=pre=alpha on super powerful hardware that the high end PC;s of it's time would be not capable of running.
Then they work frm there, creating the assets, later as they created the game in the alpha stages they have to optimize and cut texture quality and all of the above to get it to work with high framerate and resolution on modern hardware.
unfortunately the "modern" hardware level for withcher 3 includes xbone and PS4 which is a 2004-6 mid=high end PC level hardware.
Not that it is much of a comparison but it's siilar if you remember skyrim having a free HD texture update for PC, so did shadow of mordor. This is the same problem with multi plat. The PC could handle better but the consoles hold it back.
>>337595583
2008 when they released an enhanced edition of an already solid game for free
>>337601271
>blame the combat on the engine
when you buy an engine license you get access to the source and the right to change it, in almost every case.
CDPR, Naughty Dog and Rockstar are the Terrific Trio.
>>337601271
>>337601439
combat wasn't that bad in 2007 but it aged like milk
>>337601439
and yet its somehow identical in every way to Neverwinter Nights which uses the same engine.
guess they didn't give a fug to change it
>>337597623
>everyone calls it a downgrade
>CDPR continuously tell people that the old footage was on the Red Engine 2 and that it was not possible as an open-world.
Be mad all you want, consoles are where the money is at. How much would The Witcher 3 have sold if it were PC exclusive? The Witcher 3 wouldn't exist without consoles ;^)
>>337599479
probably just an enhanced edition, then they're in full 2077 mode
>>337600214
Probably because there hasn't been news about it for years now. I just want them to show something, even if it's just concept art.
>>337600214
Because nobody knows anything about the game.
Concept art and them talking about all the stuff the game won't have anyways doesn't count.

It's like you guys have never seen this script. Enjoy it now. They will sell out soon enough.
>>337601271
ppft
nobody even give a fuck about CDPR back then
it was Witcher 2 that surprised many with it's exceptional visuals, clever use of shadowing techniques, texturings, and the introduction of the Ubersampling,what CDPR named their SuperSampling techniques
Furthermore, it was a DX9 game, yet still manages to look and run great, against DX11 titles like Crysis 2 and BF3, it was really the pinnacle of DX9 games
witchter 3: downgraded, substandard performance even on good hardware, gameplay and roleplay about as deep as a puddle of piss.

Dunno what you might mean by "reliable" but they definitely deserve some kind of award not totally related to gaming. For their work and artistic ethic alone they deserve a golden statue or something. You just don't see this kind of love in people's creations these days.

>>337595583
They can't make a single game with good combat if their lives depended on it.
>>337606515
genuinely does
>>337595583
They downgraded Witcher 3 and instead of telling truth, they tried to trick people, saying nothign was changed, even though there were tons of official pre release footage. Its not like they had to do it, if they would say they couldn't do it, people would understand and forgive.
They also cut content, not all, but some, to offer it as a free DLC later down the line. Nothing major, just trying to keep interest in the game.
They lost their title with TW3.

I know they were based on a series of books.
>>337606697
I'm surprised people still piss and moan about this and not the free alchemy replenishment.
>>337595583
It's honestly just Bizarre how a bunch of Slavs living on potatoes and hiding from the KGB managed to develop 3 of the best WRPGs of the last decade, with the latest one outperforming giants such as Bioware and Bethesda's game by a lightyear.
They shouldn't be able to get away with it, yet they do.
>>337607179
because they didn't lie about alchemy, it's a design decision you might disagree with. You can drink potions during a battle, that's also not lore friendly. Spending 1 vodka to replenish all potions in an hour might be silly and not lore friendly, but at least they didn't lie about it.
>>337605443
Oh my mistake, friend. Triss Merigold is literally one and only single good thing about these games.
>>337607401
CD projekt red is a bigger studio than bethesda, by a large margin.
It'd be a way better game if they cut out like 80 percent of it.

Are you fucking kidding me? The animation in the game was beyond dreadful. Not even hardcore witcher fans can defend it. Settings and athmosphear alone saved the game.
https://youtu.be/QHukmQ3Loh4?t=68
Even 90's topdown combat would've looked better, or just one-hit strikes, or just KOTOR-style animations.
>hey guys, remember that entire other part of TW2 you get to choose from affecting the story

>>337600214

>>337608337
At least it gives accurate representation of a witcher lifestyle. You got so used to fighting monsters that it pretty much becomes a routine and a grind. Too bad there's not much to spend your gold on. They could've made gold spending mandatory (like, you have to buy food or have to spend money on potions and preparation) and then it would've felt more like work.
>>337605373
>See that windmill?

>>337608418
Around 500 people
Bugthesda has 100, ND has like 380 and some studios like bioware and rockstar even 800
Pretty interesting numbers
>>337606697
Worse, it's not like they couldn't do it. They just literally sold out for platform parity. They nerfed the PC version so that it doesn't make the console versions look like the crap they are.
>>337608806
I dunno, I was kind of scraping for money when it came time to mastercraft witcher gear
>>337608418
They're expanding from 400 to 800 employees for 2077 according to their latest press conference if I remember correctly
When will they make a game with enjoyable combat that doesn't stay exactly the same for 200 hours?
>>337609120
Yeah, but I meant, like, you had to get money or you're fucked. You can pretty much manage with scavenged gear untill you save up for something good. Plus, there's so much sidequests and shit that you can grind an hour or so and get alot of gold.
I liked how in TW2 you had to buy good gear or you get raped by thrash mobs and there was like 2-3 sidequests per act which barely paid and even then sometimes you had to buy tomes and research for a lot of money to be able to do it.
>>337609519
>fuckhuge RPG
>complains about grinding
Go play bayonetta, or dark souls, or dmc if you want good combat. TW3 combat is pretty much placeholder so there's something to do on missions. You play witcher for the world and the story.
>>337609084
PC version looks better, better shadows, draw distance, etc. The game has massive framedrops in cutscenes with any effects, especially when Wild Hunt and\or frost effects are on screen.
I doubt they sold out, most likely they bit more than they could chew. They moved the game back and were in crunch for over a year.
>>337595583
and how is this not shilling?
you already know what I'm gonna do...
>>337609818
That's not what the complaint is about, you fucking mongoloid. The combat never evolves at any point after the tutorial of the game and when you receive the crossbow. It remains exactly the same for the duration of all the content of the game.
>>337609819
It ran, I don't doubt it needed a monster PC and still had low frame rats but that's what ultra settings are supposed to be. They should've just Crysis'd that bitch instead of downgrading it.
>>337607529
I mean in the sense that they're newcomes, while Bethesda and Bioware are (and were) very established as the two WRPG giants.
>>337600214
No real reason other than lack of news because CDPR is still focusing on W3.
>>337609819
>They moved the game back and were in crunch for over a year.
Yeah, because they needed extra time for the downgrade.
>>337608725
Yes, and? There's no need to tie up every loose end in the next game or you fall into Bioware trap where community expects every piece of dialog to be references and bitches when it isn't. CDPR made it very clear that's not what they were doing even back with Witcher 2.
>>337610032
yeah, it "run", in 2 or 3 areas they showed.
Doesn't work that way, they still need to QA all of it and then make sure everything looks uniformly good. They can't just put 10 stunning areas and 10 areas we got.
>>337610142
Do you have any experience in large team software development? It doesn't work that way. When you start cutting features you do it to save time and cut corners. Next thing you'll tell me Witcher 3 was buggy mess on release because Consoles.

>>337598021
>he didn't get through act 1
>>337600879
No, they probably had better.
Do you really think devs use consumer grade cards for development?
Never enter a video game discussion thread again. Idiot.
>>337601287
I'm not discounting your argument but holy fuck how do so many people mix up "definitely" and "defiantly?" They're both very basic words and yet I see them mixed up all the time. It's as bad as would of/would have.

>>337600910
>Look mom! I posted it! Do you think they think I'm cool?
Goddamn every Witcher thread is plagued by shitposting and Bioware waifu degenerates took over the general. Can't just fucking talk about the game. Wish the Souls faggots would choose one of the 12 threads they have up atm.
>>337608725
while disappointing that we don't get to see saskia or iorveth in W3, that doesn't somehow bring down the achievement of W2 despite being a big game overall, offers a COMPLETELY different act 2 based on a dialogue option in act 1. This is light years beyond anything modern "RPG" developers have done.
>>337610102
I'm really wondering what kind of visuals they'll push with Cyberpunk 2077. I suppose more angular architecture designs lends itself to higher density because you don't really have to worry about natural curves and organic looking shit. Square is a square.
>>337610079
>while Bethesda and Bioware are (and were) very established as the two WRPG giants.
I don't think Bethesda was ever really in the same race as Bioware with the whole story-centric RPGs and shit. Bioware, though. They should be downright embarrassed CDPR outdid them so fast.
>rumor has it they celebrated when Witcher 3 was delayed to 2015
>>337602205
They already said that there will be no enhanced edition. The game gets a big patch before B&W and another big one after to fix any problems left and then they move on to 2077.
The big pre-DLC has some big UI changes, so if you take that and add it up with all the free DLC and patches so far, we kinda already got an enhanced edition.
They're alright in my book. Same with Arkane, Platinum, Vanillaware, Wayforward, etc.
Know what you're good at, and stick with it/improve upon it
I love CDPR simply because they cucked millions of sonyggers from the GOTY award.
To this day you can still hear their anguish.
>>337609307

>>337605373
Have you heard the story about what they did for one of their concept artists when she had cancer? They paid for everything, and still gave her a sick leave wage til she could return.

A big issue in modern game engines is overdraw which is why foliage density remains relatively low. A city is much, much easier to render.
>>337598021
I just hate that an enemy can kill u just with two hits on normal setting. Like what the fuck.
>>337600214
1. No news or new footage whatsoever. If it wasn't for CDPR confirming every half a year or so that they are still working on it everyone would already assume it's vaporware.
2. Uncharted territory. No real game of this scale ever tried the Cyberpunk feel in a mature open world RPG. The only things thst came close are Deus Ex, which isn't open world, Mass Effect - which isn't really Cyberpunk, and PREY 2, which got cancelled.
Everyone wants Ghost in The Shell and Blade Runner in vidya form but no one was successful.
>>337611523
I've never had this happen unless I tried to fight something much higher level than me, do you just never upgrade your armor?
>>337610102
I think the reason it's taking them fucking forever is also because a new setting has to be fleshed out first. Cyberpunk 2077 as a setting still doesn't exist and they're modernizing the 2020 setting to get there.
>>337598792
Holy shit this. There one of the few game companies that give me hope.
>>337611641
not him, but thanks for the answer
desu if there is one developer I would trust to make something this ambitious, it would be CDPR only. My expectations were soaring in the heavens after Witcher 2, and I got Witcher 3, which met them. Now I have the same high expectations with Cyberpunk, and I truly believe they will pull it off.
>>337599483
I really don't get judging Platinum by Korra, and even as you said Transformers Devastation showed they can reliably do cheap but fun licensed games better than anyone else too. The TMNT game looks like it'll be the same way.
I guess I'll have to wait until Nier and Scalebound for people to remember they're a good developer.
>>337612445
I think it's clear Platinum is taking on more contracts just for the money. Shit, being what they were neither Korra or Transformers were BAD, they just weren't masterpieces people apparently expect from Platinum by default. For the record I think W101 is a damn good game stuck on a WiiU.
>>337606245
confirmed for not having played FO4 let alone Witcher
>>337611669
Ahhhhh maybe that's my issue. I haven't so thanks anon. But yes this is one of my favorite series.
All the witcher games were shit but I have high hopes for cyberpunk because Mike pondsmith is on the team and it's the only cyberpunk 2020 game we have gotten in years
Witcher 3 is the game that every other open world game has been announced as, but fell short of being
>>337613969
Its mainly the characters, writing, and quests. I don't think I've cared about anyone in an open world game before, and they made side quests actually interesting.
>>337602051
>it was not possible as an open-world
>Pulling shit out your ass
This was never said. The 2014 E3 demo was from a near fully functional build of the game. The downgrade was so it would run better on consoles.
>>337595583
>most reliable developer in vidya?
literally WHAT
they've made THREE games in the course of 10 years with only 2 of them being good.
>>337614384
Exactly. I played Dragon Age: Inquisition shortly before Witcher 3 came out and the difference was just night and day.
Also, that they've finally managed to get actually funny and emotional moments. Like, the first two Witcher's weren't badly written at all, but the humor mostly didn't land and they weren't going for big emotional moments, but 3 excelled at both
>>337614451
alpha doesn't mean all the graphical assets are in place, retard
>>337614557
Because whoever makes the most games is the bestest!
Seriously does everyone forget GOG exists?
At least they still develop games after making GOG, Gaben just gave up on games after Steam got so big.
>>337611336
>A big issue in modern game engines is overdraw
you have no clue what the fuck are you talking about, do you?
>>337596649
Witcher 2 is fantastic, just saying its name implying its bad means nothing.

>>337614979

>>337606606

>>337615090
Are you fucking retarded?
They made 3 shit games. Only faggots who care about story instead of gameplay care about these lying hacks.
>>337615282
>story!?

CDprojekt shills hard at work again. Fuck off with your console sellout company.
>>337615282
>learn enemy pattern
>attack and dodge according to pattern
>level up, find gear, drink potions to make combat easier
That is solid design and they execute it well. Only faggots would call that bad gameplay.
>>337615485
ah yes, those other companies that stayed largely PC exclusive that are just 10/10 across the board
Like Firaxis! Or Paradox! Or Creative Assembly! Or Blizzard!

Are you retarded?
>>337615485
Yes, the shills are working so hard in a thread with mostly negative troll posts.
Meanwhile there are like 10 overwatch and 8 ds3 threads. But those aren't shills.

Whoa! You better check yourself before you wreck yourself.

>graphics mean everything to me
fuck off
>>337616437
>Lied
>Fucked up the PC version for the sake of consoles
It's a matter of principle
So what are they going to do after The Witcher? Do they have any other games planned?
>>337616559
>for the sake of consoles
Not him, I just don't get that argument
You wouldn't be able to play on the un-downgraded settings yet, anyways. By the time you'll be able to, better looking games will be around. Who gives a fuck? Also there was plenty of gameplay videos around before release that showed how the game would actually look, so it's hardly a Watchdogs situation

If your such a graphics whore, TW3 is the best looking game on the market right now. It doesn't look like the 2013 trailer, but it is beautiful. Denying is just to be contrarian.
>>337616753
>You wouldn't be able to play on the un-downgraded settings yet, anyways.
The current settings aren't exactly hard to run, Anon.
>>337616951
Did you even read my post?
>>337616951
I'd argue Rise of the Tomb Raider looks better
>>337615180
you clearly misread the OP
>>337606606
post proof
>>337595583
When they reliably downgraded literally everything :^)
>>337617050
>The current settings aren't exactly hard to run, Anon.
Are you insane? Two GTX 980 TI in SLI get an average of under 90 fps in 1440p, with minimum of 53. Do you think bumping up the quality to 2013 levels would just take those numbers down by like 20%, or what? You do realize there is a good chance that 6 GB GDDR might not even be enough for that level? Are you just shitposting?
>>337598792
But witcher is on origin?
>>337596649
you mean Witcher: Enchanced Edition
I heard more about that than I did the original games release
>>337597623
no, the game does not look as good as it did in prerendered trailers
yes, the game looked worse in some areas and better in others from e3 2014 to final launch
none of this is anything deceitful or heinous; the game looks fucking wonderful and runs like a fucking dream. It literally is one of the most optimized games of all time and also one of the best looking games of all time; people expecting it to looks better would be the same people mad about its shit performance if it had those options
>WAHHH WHY DOES MY 980 GET 30FPS ON ULTRA AT 1080P
CDPR didn't want this so they designed the game to look as good as possible without having unnecessary hardware taxing special effects. Look up the interview where they talk about the volumetric smoke
If we're lucky the game will come with a vulcan port with new graphical options on the PC and perhaps an update for the ps4k/xbone upgrade
>>337618030
It's honestly amazing how well it looks on the PS4.
>>337618152
yeah, the reason I'm not mad about any downgrades is because they were very candid about the development between consoles and PC
they even said something along the lines of
>yeah we could have made a better looking and running game on PC if it was exclusive, but we would have such a smaller budget because we wouldn't have the audience that consoles bring
so it was either massive 100+ hours open world Witcher 3 or Witcher 2.5
I'm happy they went with the former because it allowed CDPR to grow as a company and get a lot of good exposure. They also pulled off a PC version that runs and looks better than almost every PC exclusive game out there
>>337597485
So did Bethesda and everyone seems to stand in line to suck their collective cocks.
>>337618030
A DX12 update would be great.
>>337618673
no, a Vulcan update would be great
a Dx12 update would be welcome
>actively lying about the downgrade
>banning people on their forums for mentioning it to this fucking day
>lie about 10 000 items in the game
>>337618753
>Vulkan
>literally worse than DX12
>never coming out
RIghr
>>337615568
That is solid design, but the problem is with the execution. Game is too easy to break and controls are really unpleasant to use.
>>337614384
>and they made side quests actually interesting.
>follow Keira, Triss, Yen, Philippa, etc. through a dungeon while occasionally fighting a wave of enemies
>pick up book, to go waypoint, open chest, quest completed
>find the goat for the pellar
>Reason of State
>do a favor for someone so they can tell you where to find someone who can tell you where to find someone who can tell you were Ciri might have been
GOAT quests familia
>>337614384
After 10 hours of playing the game every sidequest was
>initiate the sidequest (talk with NPC)
>follow red shit
>find an item/enemy/NPC
>take the item/kill the enemy/talk to the NPC
>talk to the NPC (sometimes with muh moral decisions)
Literally Skyrim tier.
>>337597623
>waaaahhh it doesn't look exactly like the awful oversharpened non-playable non-open world target render in Witcher 2 engine
>>337620150
No, he just said that they downgraded it and lied about it. That's why they aren't the most reliable dev.
>>337620291
What do you not understand about non-playable target render in a different engine? You can't downgrade something that doesn't exist.
>>337611043
I hate this rivalry CDPR and Bioware fans have for each other. Bioware actually let CDPR use part of their Mass Effect 1 booth to let them showcase Witcher 1. These companies have been bros for years until fans started flinging shit at each other.
>>337620505
You definitely can downgrade gameplay demos and they answered the question on their forums ("Will the game on uber settings look like on E3 2013 trailer") with "yes".
>>337620505
>>337620651
My mistake, not E3 trailer. SoD and VGX ones.
>>337619694
>somehow by greentexting and oversimplifying quests, I have a point
Kill yourself, I don't even think TW3 quests were good, design wise, but you're doubly retarded if you think your post contained "a point"
>>337595583
When games became more of a movie than a game.
lmao you don't get to bitch about cinematic experiences when you're praising things like this /v/ you dumpster.
>>337622769
>instead of conveying dialogue with superb facial animation and acting maybe we can just have a text box in the bottom of the screen filled with WORDSWORDSWORDS just like in le Planescape Torment!
End yourlife C(uck)RPG fag
>>337621643
>false flagging CDPR cuck doesn't have a rebuttal
We have to start talking about how Witcher 3 basically saved modern RPGs.
>>337623741
Not him, but neither do you. The quests were memorable, and that normally doesn't happen.
Like finding that black pearl to see if that would help the woman's Altzeimers. Or the group of little kids hiding in a house you stumble upon that are starving and you give them food/money.
I dunno, I don't normally remember quests like that.
Also, any game can be grossly oversimplified in greentext.
>>337611191
They really are a fine bunch of people. Hadn't heard this before and wasn't even referring to their honor as human beings. Just as artists and creators.
>>337623741
Not a single video game has ever had a good designed side quest if you want to greentext and oversimplify everything. Its about the context and characters within the side quest.
