Good. The crowds in 2077 are absolutely awful. It doesn’t matter how great it looks with path tracing etc the whole experience of a real city falls apart when you see those lifeless zombies walking around.

The ones in the Phantom Liberty area (dogtown) are more dense and lifelike. Although I'm pretty sure they're set pieces, not randomly done by the engine.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Hitman series has the best crowds, IMO.

 

[TGO]

I should think so, based on some people's acceptance of how long games take to make, a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel will be across gen PS7/8 title

 

[Insane Metal]

So it won't be on PS5/XSX. Ok!

 

[delirium trigger]

They need a better road system that's actually fun to drive on and obviously better driving mechanics. GTA is as much a driving game as it is a shooter.

 

[Mozzarella]

Keep the same City, and improve everything upon it, the same way TOTK did it.

 

[GymWolf]

Hot take:

AC series did one thing good post black flag and that was the crowd density of AC: Unity. I'd go as far to say the best crowd density of any open world city to date.

That is the bar. They need to exceed that and not make it a technical clusterfuck.

Retarded npcs barely doing nothing other than tanking the framerate is the bar for nothing other than sheer numbers.


This is gonna be the one to beat

There will be over 1,000 Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs with daily routines​

i'll believe it when i see it

Oh god, am I stuck in a time loop?
Didn’t they say this for the first game?

Don't play it on bad hardware. It was a delight when it launched, for me.

I played it on a solid PC (the one I currently still own) and it was fucking garbage at launch.
Not just on the technical side, either. A lot of the core design was trash. Some of it still is.

I think the game got in a decent spot only after the recent updates (from 2.0 moving on).
I finally got to play it recently and after few iterations they at last brought the game to a state where MOST of its system feel somewhat good to interact with.

The driving remains garbage to this day and their "crowd tech" managed to get from atrociously unconvincing to somewhat passable, but let's not overstate what they achieved.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Will probably use AI for this and the conversations.

 

[crazyriddler]

I think we have all learned that from CD Projekt you can't believe any promises, better to wait for the game to come out and see what it really has to offer.

 

[existensmaximum]

Will they fix vendors at the markets as well? You know, the ones who are rude to you and say random nonsensical things such as "go away, I'm busy!" when you try to interact..

 

[sertopico]

I heard that one before, back in 2018.

 

[Fabieter]

I hope they just release a functional game day one for once.

 

[digital_ghost]

It will bring the 5090 down to its knees. For the four people who could afford them.

sad you didnt enjoy it. driving is now fine but i enjoy running around for the random encounters more, so thats what I did for my first playthrough. 'crowd tech' is something i dont give a toss about
