Cyberpunk 2077 reveals surprisingly low system requirements for PC
In yet another Cyberpunk 2077 news brief, CD Projekt Red have talked more about Night City's layout, gangs, and revealed the PC system specifications you'll need to run their biggo RPG. For a city that seems so big, the tech you'll need to visit it is quite small. It will apparently only take up 70GB of storage space and will run with an Nvidia GTX…
Yes, Cyberpunk 2077 is still planning free DLCs like The Witcher 3
"Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3," CD Projekt Red said in a hidden message from their 2018 Cyberpunk 2077 trailer. There have been a lot of sleeps since then—more than two years worth—so you'll be forgiven for forgetting. CDPR have reminded fans this weekend that yes, they are in fact planning to offer free DLCs for their biggo cyberpunk playground RPG.
Feature: Still never got round to calling it "Twitcher"
I almost forgot how much everyone raved about The Witcher 2. RPS founder-turned-fugitive Jim Rossignol said in his The Witcher 2 review that "This is one of the most significant games of 2011. Right now it looks like most significant PC-only game of 2011". It's a series that has since become a juggernat, helped made a billionaire, and even overcome the traditionally murderous adaptation to…
Cyberpunk 2077 has tons of weapons and CDPR don’t want you to stick with just one
In most RPGs, no matter the arsenal available, I always find myself settling down with that one favourite weapon. Sometimes it has a stat perk I've grown accustomed to. Other times it's a uniquely-named item I can't bear to part with. Sometimes it just looks pretty. Cyberpunk 2077's wide selection of armaments sounds like it will allow you to pick favourites in the same fashion,…
Cyberpunk 2077 details V’s three origin stories with new gameplay trailers
Unlike your Geralt of Rivias of the RPG world, CD Projekt Red's next game Cyberpunk 2077 will let you determine more of your protagonist's personality, including their history. You'll get to choose one of three backgrounds for your main character V that change who you know and how you're able to tackle quests throughout the game. In their second Night City Wire livestream, CD Projekt…
Factorio brings release date forwards to avoid clashing with Cyberpunk 2077
If anything was going to throw a wrench into Factorio's meticulously manufactured mechanisms, you'd never think it was a punk'd up cyborg in a leather jacket. Yet, even as they powered full-steam towards release, the folks at Wube Software have decided Cyberpunk 2077's launch-day noise risks drowning out their contraptions. This week, the developers announced plans to bring Factorio out of early access five weeks…
Cyberpunk 2077 will let you customise yer bum, according to ESRB rating
Cyberpunk 2077's now officially gotten stamped with a "Mature" rating by the ESRB, one of the organisations wot gives all the big games their official warning labels. Most of the ESRB's description of Cyberpunk's activities is pretty expected—nothing that GTA hasn't got finger-wagged for in the past. In among the sex, drugs, and guns though are apparently lots of butts and bits customising and, uh,…
GOG Galaxy 2.0 collects your subscription game libraries now too
The open beta for GOG's new game launcher has gotten another update that, among other things, will let you link and surf the libraries of your subscription game services. Update 5 for GOG Galaxy 2.0 has a few other features like custom executables and sorting titles as well.
The Toss A Coin To Your Witcher song took about 10 minutes to write
I cannot believe that that damn song from the Netflix Witcher series only took 10 minutes to write. When Toss A Coin To Your Witcher was thrust upon us by Jaskier just before Christmas, I was not prepared for how catchy the damn thing would be. And neither were the Netflix show's creators, apparently, as the idea for the song came to co-executive producer Jenny…
CD Projekt are now valued as the second largest game company in Europe
That scrappy Polish studio that developed a computer RPG based on the monster hunting novels by Andrzej Sapkowski is all grown up. CD Projekt, parent company of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developers, are now valued as the second largest gaming company in Europe, beat only by Ubisoft.
No, Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t confirmed microtransactions in multiplayer
Let's get this out of the way: CD Projekt Red really haven't confirmed much regarding Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer. They know it's happening (eventually) but what that looks like, or when it'll happen? Not even Keanu knows. Last week it was reported that CDPR may know one thing for certain - CP2077 multiplayer would be monetised, and include "well thought-out" microtransactions. However, it looks like the…
GOG Galaxy gets a big ol’ client update for finding any game in existance
For the last couple months, GOG has been gathering feedback on the GOG Galaxy mega-games-launcher from its crew of closed beta testers. Today they've opened the gates and let out what they've been working on, the monolithic-sounding GOG Galaxy 2.0 Atlas Update. The update includes a whole lot of organizational possibilities, a Marie Kondo feverdream of clean, tidy sorting options and search tags. GOG, it…
Cyberpunk 2077 has two more teams working on multiplayer and a mysterious Cyberthing
Update: Nnnope that's wrong, CD Projekt have responded.While Cyberpunk 2077 as we know it is a singleplayer RPG, reports of recent comments from CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński say that multiplayer is still coming in some way, along with some other thing. It seems like Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a multiplayer mode, while the other Cyberthing sounds more like a new game. Or an expansion.…
Feature: The future context defence
During this week's E3, Cyberpunk 2077 developers CD Projekt Red released a new CG trailer starring Keanu Reeves, showed the game to press behind closed doors, and handed out some new screenshots. Two screens in particular were released via Nvidia to show off ray tracing effects, and both seem innocuous enough. One depicts what looks like a science lab, the other a neon-lit stairwell, but…
GOG lays off a dozen employees, say it’s not cause for alarm
GOG, the DRM-free games store owned by CD Projekt, have confirmed they laid off "around a dozen" people last week. GOG say it's no problem, they're just reorganising, and that they're hiring more than they let go. One of the affected employees has whispered that these layoffs made up 10% of GOG's staff, and that the company may be in more financial trouble than they…
Cyberpunk 2077 augments its team with Dying Light’s PvP crew
CD Projekt Red today announced an interesting partnership today with small studio Digital Scapes, with initial plans for them to work on upcoming mega-budget immersive sim Cyberpunk 2077. Digital Scapes recently made some waves through their work on Dying Light's surprisingly entertaining asymmetrical PvP mode while Techland focused on the single-player side of the game.Tempting as that sounds, the announcement says that Digital Scapes will…
If you've played through The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3, you've spent hundreds of hours with the character of Geralt of Rivia. But have you ever taken the time to go back to the beginning? I... absolutely have not. But I played enough Witcher over the years to have encountered people and quests from the first title that I had to fill in via…
Feature: Don't be afraid, don't be very afraid
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time.I have a mental firewall about how recent a game can be before I'm allowed to write a Have You Played? about it. In my head, The Witcher 3 is about three months old and therefore invalid.It's two years old next month. I've had…
Feature: The plot thickens
This is The Mechanic, where Alex Wiltshire invites a developer to help him put their game up on blocks and take a wrench to hack out its best feature, just to see how it works. It’s about the sweat, grease and genius behind the little things that make games special.Here’s a question: How do you solve a problem like Geralt? There he is, stern and…
