E3 2018 | Turning Players Into Payers | PLEASE CLAP

[Kirin]

I thought it was fine, just show games and let me decide what I think about them, rather than trying to hard sell me on some shit they couldn't make sound good in the first place.

This is how long some conferences probably are without all the dumb fluff.

But you should already know about nearly everything shown.

[gaira]

se desperately needs a new franchise imo

[Elcura]

If they had nothing new to show then I'd rather not have an hour or more of my life wasted, I do agree they probably should have just rolled their shit into MS/Sony conferences but I'm not mad at 30 mins of trailers.

[Weltall]

Who is this homeless looking dude doing the poll stuff on Twitch's stream?

[Xno Kappa]

That Babylon’s Fall looks super interesting at least. Can’t wait to see more on that.

[Vaspinne]

If they had nothing new to show then I'd rather not have an hour or more of my life wasted, I do agree they probably should have just rolled their shit into MS/Sony conferences but I'm not mad at 30 mins of trailers.

If they had nothing new to show (which they didn't), then they shouldn't have bothered with a segment in the first place.

[Greedouw]

That bullshit was the epitome of “look forward to it”

[Kirin]

I got Agni's Philosophy vibes from Babylon's Fall. At one point I legit wondered if they were doing a Xenogears remake actually.

I don't know how I feel about Square saving any FF7 reveal for Sony (or hell, even Nintendo). Not because its Sony, but if I was SE and this was my pocket ace remake of my flagship title, id want it in MY camp instead in someone elses.

Same goes for Nintendo if Cloud is back in Smash or they expanded to add Terra, Lightning, or Noctis. I would want to reveal that instead of Nintendo.

[Xno Kappa]

I at least wanted some Episode Ardyn footage for FFXV lol.

[Vaspinne]

Eh, E3 is never SE's big event though. They always go all in at TGS.

[Katlan]

That still was a waste of time to watch

[Kirin]

In rewatching this, could they have picked a better time to roll into the DQ theme than during a big battle scene in the DGXI trailer?

Or at least a better version of that song to fit the mood?

[darkepyon]

That was like... "I want those 30 minutes back" levels of bad.

[Weltall]

I skipped going to get food to watch that, and now I'm sitting here starving with client calls the next 3 hours >_>;

[6souls]

Short game confirmed

[Kirin]

You know what is even worse about SE's presentation?

Spoiler: show

Those fucking gorillas from Luminous Studios couldn't even be bothered to show up. You think if they are going to take time away from actual game development they could at least let us see these fucking brain wrinkling ultra 4k 120fps gorillas.

Oh, and the Avengers title as well. Can't even tease that.

[6souls]

We still have PC Gamer & Sony to see more SE.

Someone took the time to piece together the message that was in Cyberpunk 2077's reveal trailer.

It's actually a pretty cool message from CDPR. Good on them.

It's been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077. We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and... went dark. Normal procedure for these kind of things - you announce a game and then shut up, roll up our sleeves, and go to work. We wanted to give you The Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that.

As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine, we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077's pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? At some point, we made a decision to resume talking about the game only when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realise you've been (im)patiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn't like anyone to feel that we're taking this for granted. On the contrary - it gives us a lot of extra motivation. The hype is real, so the sweat and tears need to be real, too .

But, to the point. Today is the day. If you're seeing this, it means you saw the trailer - our vision of Cyberpunk, an alternative version of the future where America is in pieces, megacorporations control all aspects of civilised life, and gangs rule the rest. And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don't let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 is a true single player, story-driven RPG. You'll be able to create your own character and..., well, you'll get to know the rest from what we show at our booth at E3. Be on the lookout for the previews!

Before we finish, you probably have some questions, right?

When? When we told you we would only release the game when it's read, we meant it. We're definitely much, much closer to a release date than we were back then , but it's still not the time to confirm anything, so patience is still required. Quality is the only thing that drives us - it's the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher.

How big? Seriously big, but..., to be honest, we have no bloody clue at this point in time. Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect. And we promise we'll do this before we start talking about any pre-orders or ask anything of you.

Free DLC/Expansions/DRM? Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3. As for DRM, CP2077 will be 100% DRM-free on PC.

Microtransactions? In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?

Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have a minute, do visit cyberpunk.net and share your opinion (about anything) with us. We read everything you post and we treat it very seriously.

Yours, CD PROJEKT RED Team

The message also seemed to give away free download codes of The Wircher 3 + DLC, which have all since been used.
