Was that the one with Novigrad and the swamp area? Those definitely looked vastly different than the finished game yeah. I think most of the negativity was around that, wasn't it? Clearly that was on PC back then, I remember some early screens too and the game didn't end up looking like that. The consoles just couldn't handle it.

I dont think it was about consoles being able to handle it - they had to completely re-do their lighting engine and the approach they were using. could be once the maps became true open world instead of isolated chunks for the demo it shit the bed - or it could even be that it took far too much artist manpower to control and they had to switch to a one size fits all method.
Making something that looks that good dynamic and part of a true day/night cycle was far more likely the reason it was cut. For consoles they could drop the fog, cut the resolution, kill some shadows - but instead they completely ripped the entire approach out and replaced it with something much more simple.

I think a lot of graphics downgrades people see these days (watch dogs being the exception) arent related to power, they're related to the investment of manpower it would take to implement the detail they put in their target slice across the entire game. No publisher will greenlight spinning a team of 50 artists out to work for a year, delay the game by 4 months and burn through $5-10m adding an extra level of detail that only 0.5% of players will see.

According to a deleted tweet from Rocket Beans TV, a german streaming channel, at 7pm CEST there will be something "exciting".

I wonder if they changed their minds about showing it to us, or if this was planned all along and they were just being coy about it?

2 biggest western gaming trade shows conquered with demos to the press. There's no other real big show this year they could drum up word of mouth from so makes sense to release the footage to the masses!

Would be fucking crazy if they just said screw it and dropped the full 1 hour gameplay demo

That's not going to happen though, but maybe they will give a brief gameplay tease of just a couple of the most polished minutes from the demo.

Probably wont be any gameplay at all though really

No but it is confirmed that the 1 hour demo from E3 will be avaible at PSN/Xbox Live/Steam in 2 hours


Yo! You serious or messing with me? Lol... I think there would've been more hype on Era if we were going to actually see this game and knew ahead of time.

The scrolling text was actually a worm virus that hacked the Pentagon mainframe and downloaded full copies of Cyberpunk onto everyone's PCs. Shame you missed it; we're all playing it right now.

Yeah, some things are just inexcusable. Stupid health getting in the way and me wanting to hold my grandkids in the distant future! I'll never make that mistake again!!!! Thanks you for showing me the light!! It'll never happen again!

I'm just kidding.

I really really hope they finally reveal the game and confirm that it will not come to current gen consoles. There is no way they will be able to cram in all that detail on current gen consoles after running it on a 1080 Ti at 1080p. We could have had a shot if it was running at native 4k, but at 1080p it means they were fully utilizing that tflop to push detail instead of just pixels.

Next gen consoles should be around 10-12 tflops and seeing as how this game wont be out for at least another year and a half, they should probably just release it on next gen consoles instead of massively downgrading their vision just to sell more copies on current gen consoles.

GTAV has proved that you can keep selling good games for years. as people buy more and more next gen consoles, they will pick up this game as their first game if it's as good as everyone is making it out to be.

I think the reveal is gonna be at around 7pm UTC+2:

Translation: At 7pm we're showing gameplay material of a upcoming blockbuster but we can't say which one it is. By the way we're showing our last talk about Cyberpunk2077 again just before that.

FYI RocketBeansTV is a german internet tv station with very good connections to the PR manager of CDPR (Fabian Döhla).

EDIT: Tweet got deleted. Screenshot up now.
Oooooh shit.
