This game needed a year to cook to be released in the first place. The next update is in 10 days and I'll probably be done with it before then.

Cyberpunk 2077 — Our Commitment to Quality (after lying for years)

It's pretty insulting that their excuse comes down to "We just tried too hard to make a perfect game on PC", as if the PC version wasn't also dense with bugs and a mile off from the advertised product.
The way it is described in this video makes it seem that it was always the plan to release it in the second half of 2021.
What a disaster. Damn.
I'm glad I decided to wait for the next-gen update on PS5. But not until the fall, and that's assuming there's no delays...
I'll buy this game when it's on sale for like $20.

Not surprised at all about the next-gen update getting delayed. Good thing I have no interest in trying to play it again right now.
What a disaster though.

Leadership decisions born out of ignorance, maliciousness, or more likely some combination of the two. And beyond the bugs, the game design decisions in this game are largely bafflingly amateur. The illusion that CDPR was at the forefront of the industry has been totally shattered. The game might not be a total disaster on PC, but to pretend it's anything particularly impressive is disingenuous.
Bug fixes are the least of this game's problems. I played this game on a high end PC and there's just so much half baked content/unbalanced mechanics/poor AI etc...This feels like they made an alpha version of the game and just called it a day.
"well by release the game didn't light your ps4 on fire and kill your spouse/child/pet so we decided it was pretty much ready for release."
I can't imagine being one of the people in this thread that thinks the game should have been delayed, but is also pissed that their next gen update isn't coming for a year. That's like, what you asked for...? Either way, not the best apology, but at least better than non apologies from other CEOs (Guillemot at Ubisoft comes to mind after all their shit). Hopefully the devs aren't going to be crunched too hard for this, although I'm not getting my hopes up...
If they can end up delivering even half of what Hello Games did in the end, this whole thing will be a distant memory.
This...does not at ALL look good for CDPR.
It's the boy who cried wolf - why give the benefit of the doubt now? Especially when the lies about earlier are so hard to believe?
Pushing the next-gen update until fall/winter 2021 (at the EARLIEST), and relatedly, delaying any significant DLC until 2022 or later, is gonna be ROUGH for them.
Especially when the underlying game, even on PC, still has a ton of issues/underbaked ideas.

They are still lying even in their own attempt to be transparent.
Possibly a year later for the next gen console versions? Yikes. Also, I don't buy some of these excuses.
Clearly not, this is not how Hello Games went about making up for their mistakes
Also, yeah, this is bullshit.
It takes 5 seconds of looking at Cyberpunk console footage to know its busted.
I think they really needed to address the issues they have with LGBT community representation and handling by the studio in this public apology. For the development stuff, there's stuff I can believe and other things that I think they are not mentioning over contract with third parties.
The people asking for the studio to crunch to deliver the next-gen update in Q1/Q2 seem like haven't learned from this situation at all neither.

An apology: "Look at all these cool things that are coming to you in the future!"
I still don't understand how people believe the whole "it's the old consoles fault" when we had close to perfect games released on said consoles.
"The team is working to bring relevant fixes to the game without any obligatory overtime. Avoiding crunch on all of our future projects is one of our top priorities "
That is the important part.
Because all these other crunch stories told us, that all these crunches weren't "obligatory".
But it was always implied by their superiors

Yep, just continuing to lie, just this time in a way that's harder for people to call them out
I know this industry keeps on giving promises than cannot deliver often and keeps lying. But, as a customer and press, I never felt been lied that hard. What a fucking shitshow.
