Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: A Neon coloured miracle.

When you bring up the word Cyberpunk or Edgerunners in conversation in today’s day and age, you’re bound to conjure several images in people’s minds. Most would think of pictures of chromed-up bikers with monoband sunglasses and neon flooded streets. Those old enough to remember the original role-playing game will probably smile at fond memories of a rich world and characters. But say Cyberpunk to a gamer, and they would probably scowl, remembering the hype train around Cyberpunk 2077 derailing into a bug-filled crash on launch.

That is, until now. September saw the release of the anime “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” on Netflix to critical acclaim from the anime community; Studio Trigger’s short ten-episode foray into the streets of Night City has served as a metaphorical adrenaline shot for what many saw as a slowly fading fandom. Without going into spoiler territory, the anime follows the path of David Martinez, a young Night City resident with a particular talent for enduring augmentation at a far higher threshold than most are capable of before being sent on an adventure within the setting.

That setting is perhaps the single most universally agreed upon masterstroke of CD Projekt Red’s 2020 RPG, a strong base that required time to correct that most would not give it. But correct and develop, they did, slowly but surely bringing 2077 up to the standard that lived up to the hype garnered during its fraught development cycle, even if by that point, most players had left the game for greener pastures. However, Edgerunners has changed that, using a combination of Studio Trigger’s expert writing and animation within the established world of 2077 to catch the attention of an audience on Netflix and, after showing them just how rich of a world Night City presents, sets them loose to play the game again.

With the addition of the Edgerunners update (patch 1.6), all augmentations, weapons and playstyles shown off by the characters in the anime can be emulated to perfection in-game, meaning that new and returning players alike can burn the city like their new favourite cyberpunks. And not only is it possible to rule the night as David or Rebecca, but it’s also optimal.

The Statistics

When you pair that with a deeply emotional and fast-paced show with high-quality acting from the likes of Giancarlo Esposito, it shows the audience what is possible within the setting and game, inspiring a colossal upswing in player count.

As shown in the above image, in August of 2022, the average player count for Cyberpunk 2077 was approximately 10,000 with a peak of 18,700, but with the release of Edgerunners, the average player count has more than doubled with the peak playerbase at a staggering 86,000 on Steam alone (Source: Steam Charts). As the show grows bigger, quickly becoming a classic, the word of mouth of Cyberpunk disseminated amongst well-known gaming personalities, bowling over those like the auteur Hideo Kojima by the show’s quality which bleeds over into the game itself:

I just watched "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" in one sitting! Awesome! Great! Under the recent domestic anime situation, there was a feeling that famous Japanese studios were consumed by the overseas market, but not this one!

What does this mean for Cyberpunk 2077 and its future? The playerbase is quickly returning or discovering the world is much better than when they left it and having much more fun with the game than was possible. With more updates like the Edgerunner update on the horizon, there is the incentive and proof that not only is 2077 worth sinking time into and will keep expanding in the coming months and years. It’s safe to say that Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a beacon of showing just how much story and setting content and quality the game can provide, dragging 2077 back from the edge of obscurity and into the neon-drenched light of a cult classic.

The post How Edgerunners brought 2077 back from the Edge first appeared on Get2Gaming.

It feels kind of redundant to say that cyberpunk 2077 did not launch in the best place. We know that it was rushed, the ambition of the studio was too high and the developers where put under crunch to get the game done. That said, the base game as it exists now is actually worth getting, and while it maybe isn’t what was promised, it is getting there.  And if its something that CDPR havent fixed themselves yet, then modding has you covered

Case and point, Modder KeanuWheeze has recently released a mod that implements and entire transit system into the game. There was a metro in the game, but it was purely aesthetic and couldn’t be ridden. The Mod features 19 unique metro Stations where players can wait for the trains to arrive, and then Ride them around night city.

Once a train arrives, You can sit inside the train and move around at your own rate. You can also now switch between first and third person perspective to get a better look at night city. The biggest downside however is that the mod isn’t actually an automated feature. It wont move around the city by itself, instead spawning a train when you enter the station, and then despawn it once the player is finished using it.

Testing metro system mod from cyberpunkgame

The other thing to note is that players will “Jump” when entering the station, entering the train, and also exiting each location. If Immersion is a big thing for you this will probably be a deal breaker but if it isnt then this is a great mod to try out.

While this mod is excellent, it is possible that CDPR will re-visit the metro in a patch down the line, adding their own version of these mechanics. But for now, KeanuWheeze has provided a great alternative for PC players.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been dividing fans ever since its initial release. However, there’s one thing that most players can certainly agree on; the Night City is pretty amazing. It’s a truly immersive open world environment to delve into, which has given one idea to some modders.

What could that be, we hear you ask? Well, it would just be an unbelievable feature if you were able to explore the diverse landscape using a VR headset. Luckily for us, it looks like well-known modder Luke Ross seems to be working upon just that. It also looks like it could be coming to us sooner than you’d expect too!

“If nothing goes wrong, I’d say it should come out in January” says Ross. I know what you’re thinking. Surely that’s a bit premature for a mod which will undoubtedly be a difficult task to produce. On the other hand, Ross seems confident he is able to complete the project, so let’s put our trust in him I say. Interestingly, if he does manage to pull this off, it will be released before CD Projekt Red’s own current-gen upgrade for the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 To Join Long List Of Modders Achievements

This isn’t Luke Ross’ first rodeo when it comes to adding VR mods. Alongside Cyberpunk 2077, he has created high-quality VR mods for both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. Both these games offer first-person perspective features, so Luke Ross explains that does help when producing these mods.

“One major bonus about CP2077 is that it’s already played in first person, which is very good for VR immersiveness, unlike for example the Mafia Trilogy where I had to implement my own ‘fake-first-person’ camera”.

“Now that my modding framework is approaching some level of maturity, I can probably release one game per month (on average),” Ross continues. “Of course that depends on the specific challenges that each game poses, and there’s always a possibility that a certain game turns out not to be moddable at all due to some unforeseen issues.”

On the other hand, Ross does acknowledge that there could be some issues. This is because Cyberpunk is already littered with a variety of issues, which suggests it may not be able to handle the addition of VR. Whilst the game has received several updates, it still has a few problems which they have not addressed. Add VR on top of them, well it could be a disaster waiting to happen. We’ll just have to wait and see.

The post Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod Before Current-Gen Update first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Assurances are made that the game will be updated to a better quality

CD Projekt Red, the developers behind Cyberpunk 2077, have assured investors and players during its latest quarterly earnings that the already-delayed next-gen update for the game is “on track” for the first quarter of 2022.

CDPR originally announced a late 2021 target launch for the update in September but said in October that the release would slip into next year.

Cyberpunk 2077 had a famously quite poor launch, and CDPR has released multiple updates and hotfixes to address many of the game’s issues. But there has been a recent surge in popularity; it was one of the top sellers on Steam last week, according to SteamDB, it possibly buoyed by a 50 percent price cut as part of Steam’s Autumn Sale.

#SteamTopSellers for week ending 28 November 2021:

#1 – Farming Simulator 22
#2 – Battlefield™ 2042
#3 – Cyberpunk 2077
#4 – Red Dead Redemption 2
#5 – Valve Index VR Kithttps://t.co/xKGeZySbAK

The post CD Projekt Red promises Cyberpunk 2077’s next-gen update is still ‘on track,’ first appeared on Get2Gaming.

“It’s way too early for Cyberpunk…”

Cyberpunk 2077 has been rumoured lately to be joining Xbox Game Pass, Xbox’s online subscription service. Well, this is, in fact, not the case.

CD Projekt Red president Adam Kiciński addressed this in a recent Q&A when asked about Cyberpunk’s potential availability on subscription services, noting, “We always consider any business opportunity, but this kind of subscription model is good at a certain moment of the lifecycle of the product, so not too early. Witcher 3 was for some time in a subscription, but we have to weigh the benefit and cost each time, so we have to compare it to sales, so it’s a decision based on data. It’s way too early for Cyberpunk.”

So while a release on Xbox Game Pass isn’t impossible, subscribers shouldn’t expect it to be added to the service any time soon.

The sales point makes sense given that Cyberpunk 2077 sold over 13.7 million units in 2020, despite being on sale for less than a month at release. Of course, that doesn’t account for all of the controversies it faced, like bugs and poor performance on previous-gen consoles, which caused it to be pulled from the PlayStation Store.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Google Stadia. It’s also slated to release for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 next year, along with “gradually” receiving some multiplayer activities.

In other news, October and November have seen some big next-gen titles released, including Call of Duty: Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, FIFA 22, Far Cry 6, and Left 4 Dead’s spiritual successor, Back 4 Blood. Again, you can purchase all of these titles, as well as pre-ordering Elden Ring and any other games from our Go2Games website.

The post Too Early For Cyberpunk 2077 On Xbox Game Pass – Adam Kiciński first appeared on Get2Gaming.

It goes without saying at this point that Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t had the easiest time with sorting out its bugs and glitches since release, I’m just saying it in case any non-gamers who randomly found themselves here through a tragic string of farcical mishaps involving a Cuban cigar, the Queen’s corgis and a time-travelling oval vampire burlap.

The game’s been getting a steady stream of updates, though even to this day, the developers over at CD Projekt RED are still encountering AI issues that need fixing.

Indie game dev u/Alamoa20 posted in the official r/CyberpunkGame subreddit, pointing out some of the system issues with the Cyberpunk AI.

 ‘When I look at Night City’s Civilians, they’re obviously not finite state machines. They have behavioural trees and a path. […] The problem is that it’s incomplete. There’s no “loopback”, so to speak. They keep walking till they despawn or till they turn around and walk back’ – u/Alamoa20.

Not to get political, but let’s talk about problems with the police: Those AI issues Alamoa20 mentioned above? Yup, they apply to the Cyberpunk police AI. They also spawn behind the player at points in a shoddy way. In short, the systems of implementation for the police are poorly-constructed, need a lot of work and result in unfairly hasty reactions- Just like in real life!

‘No testing was done. Just a placeholder illusion to say ‘Okay, the system is there, at least.’ It’s a very watered down iteration’

CD Projekt RED has confirmed plans to release next-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 in the new year for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Delays, delays, delays. We seem to be getting hit with them left, right and centre at the moment! After a nine-year development cycle however, this next one doesn’t surprise me massively. Cyberpunk 2077, a game known for its delays, has been struck with yet another, with its next-gen update now set to be released in early 2022 rather than later this year as originally intended.

IMPORTANT PRODUCTION UPDATE pic.twitter.com/KOnaIVOt4v

— CD PROJEKT RED (@CDPROJEKTRED) October 20, 2021

Unfortunately, this means that Xbox Series X and PS5 console owners will have to wait a few more months before they can enjoy the complete next-gen experience. The revelation comes in the form of a CD Projekt Red investor update, which warns that the Cyberpunk 2077 upgrade will now be released in Q1 2022 (January, February, or March) at the suggestion of those in charge of the project.

The next-generation upgrade to CD Projekt’s highly successful The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has also been put back to Q2 2022. (April, May, June). Given that Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed many times and still released in a poor form, we wouldn’t be surprised if the next-generation update was pushed back even more to prevent further fan criticism.

Delays are nothing new in gaming, and by now, fans of Cyberpunk 2077 will be more than accustomed to seeing the famous yellow backdrop baring bad news about more delays.

I feel like developers are entitled to take as much time as they need on a project. Yes, delays can be frustrating, but even more frustrating is trying to play a game that is broken on release. Giving devs the time they need to see a project through to completion is important to avoid this. With the constraints the pandemic put on studios too, it only makes sense that there would be delays.

I would be more than willing to stand by this, had CD Projekt Red released a good game. But they didn’t, as we are all aware. However, the fact that the delays didn’t result in a good game added insult to injury in the case of CD Projekt Red’s sci-fi RPG; Cyberpunk 2077 still released as a glitchy mess that was hardly playable on the PS4 or Xbox One. The issue was so terrible that it was briefly removed from the PlayStation platform.

Hopefully this will be the only delay we see in terms of getting next-gen upgrades for both titles, but with their rocky release last time it makes sense that they’d want to devote the extra time to ensuring that they are not trying to sell a buggy mess again. Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly, and they make up for their shortcomings last time.

No next-gen console for The Witcher 3 upgrade? No problem! Pick up The Witcher 3 on PS4 from our store now, or browse our collection of Cyberpunk 2077 merch.

Dice and its general manager Oskar Gabrielson have officially decided to delay releasing the much-anticipated Battlefield 2042. Initially set for an October 22nd release and building up momentum for the release with teasing YouTube videos and snippets of gameplay. It may be delayed, but it could be worse. The new release is set for just under a month apart, on November 19th 2021. Dice confirmed the news in a tweet stating,

“we’ve made the decision to shift the launch of Battlefield 2042. The game will now be released worldwide on November 19th, 2021.”

The pandemic has impacted various areas of global ongoings, and the gaming sector is clearly not immune to this. So the need for the development team to be in physical contact seems vital to bring the community a Battlefield game that everyone can be thrilled by on the day of launch without digging its way out of a bug-riddled release. Not all bad news for Battlefield fans though as Dice proceeded to explain that,

Updates on the Open Beta will be coming later this month.

The need for a smooth entry into the mainstream gamer’s hands can be remembered through the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. A total shamble when released, especially for the previous generation of consoles. With the shortage of next-gen consoles, this was what many of the eager fans were experiencing on. Cyberpunk lost a lot of its player base within a month, not improving too much throughout the year 2021. Lessons were learned throughout the industry through the failure of CDPR here and it can only be for the better.

Hopefully, the delay can mean smooth sailing for the game’s launch, and fans, along with the developers, will be able to enjoy it. I, for one, am all for the delay if the time is needed, and my copy is pre-ordered, which you can do here.

The post Dice Confirm ‘Battlefield 2042’ Release Delay first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Inside the upcoming 1.3 Update, CD Projekt RED confirms the first free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077, including a red Akira style jacket for V.

It has been a long and strange journey for Cyberpunk 2077, with some unmatched highs and lows; starting with a well-known catastrophic launch and being removed from the PlayStation Store entirely, then reaching a ‘satisfactory’ state and being added back onto the Store with a warning, and then finally, going on to top recent PS4 sales. It has not been an easy road for the developers. CD Projekt Red has been continously plugging away at the game with various patches and updates, desperately trying to correct their shortcomings. As a result of this constant work requirement, any form of DLC was the last thing on their mind. However, Cyberpunk is now set to receive its first wave of DLC with update 1.3.

According to the recently released patch notes for Update 1.3, Cyberpunk 2077 players will find three pieces of free DLC from the game’s Additional Content menu. Like the studio did with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the first round of free content is purely cosmetic, including two jackets for V, with one looking like the red jacket from Akira, a new Johnny Silverhand outfit, as well as a free car. Purely cosmetic… a little bit of an anti-climax. I had hoped for some new content to play through, but at least it’s something.

While Johnny’s outfit can be enabled from the Cyberpunk 2077 Additional Content menu, which replaces his default look, the Multilayered Syn-Leather Deltajock and Luminescent Punk Jackets can be found in V’s stash at his apartment. However, these items won’t be available until the player has completed ‘The Ride’ mission and received a message from Viktor. The jackets are considered Rare/Iconic quality and can be crafted to a higher quality.

As for the car, the Archer Quartz “Bandit” can be unlocked or purchased, depending on choices made by the player after finishing the Ghost Town quest and receiving a message from Dakota or Rogue. For those who have yet to receive the message, players will need to be inside the Badlands, move further away from Dakota’s workshop and wait a few days to be contacted.

Update 1.3 will also make some gameplay changes. The hefty patch includes hundreds of changes from minor fixes to larger quality of life improvements, such as the ability to respec characters at a much-reduced cost.

Patch 1.3 for Cyberpunk 2077 is coming soon!

Here's a list of the most notable changes coming in this update: https://t.co/P4BZ9pohBS pic.twitter.com/awBD6KWdAn

— Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) August 17, 2021

Fans, of course, will be happy to receive some form of DLC, alongside a wealth of game improvements; but we are really still waiting on the true next-generation versions of the game, as well as any details on the upcoming paid expansions. Hopefully, neither is too far away.

The post Cyberpunk 2077 Set To Receive Its First DLC first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Cyberpunk is still kicking…

After its famously bad release in December, Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be making a comeback. Following its catastrophic release condition, it was removed from the PS store. We recently reported that it had been re-instated back onto Sony’s digital store with a warning for PS4 players. This warning seems to have not stopped people from picking up the game as Cyberpunk took home the gold as PS4’s most purchased game for June. The data comes from Sony’s PlayStation blog, which lists the top-selling games for PS5 and PS4, as well as the top-performing free-to-play games. In the PS4 section, Sony notes that Cyberpunk 2077 was the top-selling game for both the U.S./Canada and European markets.

This comes as a surprise due to the state Cyberpunk was in, particularly for last-generation consoles. Cyberpunk 2077 had been off the PlayStation Store for about six months until late June where it reappeared. This happened after the game received a slew of updates that focused on its performance, especially on the last generation of video game consoles. CD Projekt RED now recently described the game’s newfound stability as ‘satisfactory’. Even if it is satisfactory, it is still surprising that PS4 players jumped back into the game with such little hesitation. Perhaps there is still some life in Night City.
