The messy start of Cyberpunk 2077. You can roll back the console version, sorry the developers | Culture

PRAGUE Many were expecting a gaming revolution, but it did not come. Although reviews of the long-awaited title of Polish developers are generally positive, the versions for last-generation consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) are almost unplayable in the current catastrophic state. The developers apologized on social networks and promised that those who do not want to wait for patch patches can return the game for the full price.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a spectacular game set in a futuristic open world. But only owners of the most powerful gaming computers or the current generation of consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S) can fully enjoy it. On older consoles, the game is in such poor technical condition that it is practically unplayable.

Futuristic square.  Cyberpunk 2077 video game.

Catastrophic videos full of jammed characters, technical unfinished work and so-called bugs, unintentional bugs in games appear on the Internet. Players suspected before the game itself was released because the developers refused to provide reviewers with a game on the console of the last generation.

“We should have paid a lot more attention to making the game play better on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” said the developer’s apology, which appeared on social networks on Monday. At the same time, they promised patch patches within two months. The game should also be tuned on the console of previous generations around February next year.

If you don’t want to wait that long for a repair, you should be able to Cyberpunk 2077 return for full price. The Polish development studio CD Projekt Red became famous mainly for the third video game Sorcerer (2015). The developers constantly listened to the complaints and wishes of the fans. There is no need to worry that this should be the case Cyberpunk 2077 otherwise. It will only take a while.

By the way, just the appalling state of the game according to Gaming Foundry server caused Project Red CD shares to fall by about 26%. But the game itself still breaks records. For example, on Steam it became the most played single player game, on streaming service Twitch it became the most watched single player game in history.

Genre tradition

Cyberpunk 2077 belongs to the genre of the same name. Cyberpunk is primarily a designation for the literary and aesthetic subgenre of science fiction. It shows the future dominated by megacorporations. They often have their own military force. People are divided into technologically improved (that is, those who have to improve) and the unimproved poor.

There are gangs in the streets, stolen electronics on the black market, and sex is often cheaper than food. So the promised technological paradise is not happening, and big companies are tearing the world to pieces rather than consolidating it. A typical aesthetic feature of Cyberpunk is, for example, the night setting, in which glowing neons and advertisements of futuristic metropolises can be clearly seen.

Series are a classic film representative of this genre Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell. On a serial level, we can only recommend the year before last Altered Carbon from Netflix production. Of the books, it is worth mentioning the novel Do androids dream of electronic sheep? writer Philip K. Dick (who was the free one inspired by director Ridley Scott during the filming of Blade Runnera) or iconic Neuromancera by writer William Gibson.
