[Update] The stream is over, but here’s the stream in its 48-minute entirety. After hours of streaming lines of gibberish, CD Projekt Red – the developer behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – is now streaming a that gameplay demo that it showed at E3. The demo is narrated by a professional narrator this time around, with disclaimers that everything is subject to change. Beware that...
Gamescom 2018 is underway over on Cologne, Germany. For many gamers, though, it might as well be Gamescom 2077, because CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is all we care about. CD Projekt Red is being understandably careful about showing off the game ahead of time – more on that in a moment – but they’re still trickling out new information here and there to keep us going. Check out these...
There are all kinds of games at E3 and some of them are just absolutely unplayable. By which I mean, they’re not available to be played, so we just look at them and hear about them. But they’re still real games, and they’re really coming. And some of them look absolutely incredible. These are our favorite games from E3 2018 that weren’t yet in playable condition. There were other games...
When I look at the world around me, and then back at a lot of my favorite fiction – Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Shadowrun – it feels like the whole cyberpunk genre is a thing of the past. After seeing CD Projekt’s Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, it feels like maybe one of my favorite genres is more current than ever. Sure, the United States isn’t formally broken up into separate nations, but it’s...
We took time out to talk about Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo’s E3 showings and what we think they might reveal – and what we hope they reveal. But those aren’t the only 3 companies at E3. There are a whole ton of others, and a bunch of them have shows and big reveals planned. Companies like Ubisoft, CD Projekt Red, Bethesda, and Electronic Arts will be there with projects to show. So...
Game publishers and developers tend to play things pretty close to the vest and like to have big reveals. But they also have investors and financial regulations to obey, so the news we've been waiting eagerly for slips out through an investor meeting instead of a launch trailer or a website countdown. That's just what happened with word of Cyberpunk 2077, the next game from CD Projekt...
Computer builders out there know what it means for a computer to POST – that satisfying beep sound when a computer completes its 'Power-On Self Test' for the very first time. Do androids and cyborgs POST too? After four years of silence, the Twitter account for Witcher dev CD Projekt Red's next game, Cyberpunk 2077, seems to be booting up. In a post on Wednesdayy, it kept it short and...
CD Projekt RED’s masterpiece, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was one of the Xbox One games that received an Xbox One X enhancement patch pretty early on. While the patch improved resolution, it left players with a distinctly ‘console’ experience, evidenced by a framerate locked at 30fps. Now, though, the Polish developer has released a decidedly more appealing patch offering gamers more...
Well, if there’s an audience for this sort of thing, it’s CD Projekt Red’s obligation to fill it. The Witcher 3 is big enough as a video game series, I suppose. It also needs a coloring book, one explicitly designed for adults. Violence, sex, everything you love about The Witcher 3 is crammed into these black and white images designed to be colored. CD Projekt Red teamed up with Dark...
When everyone wants to see what you’re working on, you’ll run the full gamut of responses. Some people are happy to wait, while others will snap at any scraps you drop. Others see an opportunity. Ever since Witcher developer CD Projekt Red announced its next project, we’ve been salivating for news on it. Someone apparently couldn’t wait, and obtained some stolen files containing...
