Cyberpunk 2077 developer has shared his thoughts on the matter

The journalist called the demo video of the gameplay fake, which didn’t resonate well with the developer. In his response, the developer offered a defense of his own, while also citing that many instances of the demo gameplay are identical inside the game.

He singled out a car chase scene to make his point and also stated that development does not work linearly and the game only begins to take shape a few months prior to launch.

CDPR is trying its best to redeem Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk 2077 struggled to maintain positivity around the game after the release; moreover, things quickly turned worse with the horrible performance on the older generations of consoles. The studio has since been trying to right those wrongs by offering refunds and pledging to fix the game with patch updates.

CDPR’s co-founder Marcin Iwinski issued a video response apologizing for the performance lag. He addressed the gaming community and took full responsibility for the state of the game, especially on Ps4 and Xbox One.

CDPR chief also urged the community not to blame the hardworking members of the team but rather hold the management responsible. He also added that the final decision to release the game was taken by the leadership with good intentions.

Marcin stated that the studio will push the release of free DLC in the favour of releasing hot fixes in January and February. The co-founder has also promised that the game will soon become viable on older-gen consoles after the updates roll out.
