Cyberpunk 2077 Devs Reportedly Confront CDPR Leadership Over Launch Issues

CD Projekt Red developers who have worked on Cyberpunk 2077 have allegedly confronted the leadership team over issues that include crunch and the game's rocky launch. As reported by Bloomberg, "frustrated and angry staff" questioned CD Projekt Red management during a recent internal video meeting and asked questions related to unrealistic deadlines, the mandatory crunch, and much more. This meeting took place before Sony's announcement that it would be not only offering refunds for those unhappy with Cyberpunk 2077's performance, but that it would also be removing the game from the PS Store indefinitely. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/18/cyberpunk-2077-being-removed-from-playstation-store"] When asked about crunch, the directors said that they were planning on improving production practices, but didn't go into detail on the steps they would take to make it happen. Also brought up was CD Projekt Red's comments back in January...

Cyberpunk 2077: Save Files Over 8MB May Become Permanently Corrupt

Those playing Cyberpunk 2077 should be aware that if their save files get above 8MB, they may become permanently corrupt and unusable. Redditor MagicTacoSauce posted a PSA alerting others to the issue, and GOG.com - which is owned by Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red - offered a response that is not overly promising. "Unfortunately the save is damaged and can't be recovered," The statement reads. "Please use an older save file to continue playing and try to keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials. If you have used the item duplication glitch, please load a save file not affected by it. The save file size limit might be increased in one of the future patches, but the corrupted files will remain that way." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/10/cyberpunk-2077-pc-review"] GOG.com saying that it "might be increased in future patches" may not be the best of news for those who love to collect everything and wish to...

No More Heroes 1 and 2 Have Been Rated by the ESRB for PC

No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle have been rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board for PC, indicating they may become available on PC for the first time in the future.

Opinion: Cyberpunk Deserved Better

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch has been nothing short of disastrous. Between the initial slapdash review process , the discovery of considerable performance issues on older hardware , the report that it triggered a seizure in at least one reviewer , then the news that PS4/XB1 players can get refunds but actually they couldn’t , all the way up to Sony’s announcement that it was removing Cyberpunk from its digital storefront entirely … to say “it’s been a week” for CD Projekt Red feels like an understatement - even for 2020. And it’s a real shame, particularly because underneath all the bad management decisions, poor communication, and overhyped marketing, there’s a really good game. Don’t get me wrong - I’m not trying to say that the mess CD Projekt Red currently finds itself in is anyone’s fault but those on its executive team who decided to release a game that is essentially unfinished on two of its major platforms . But it’s important to recognize that as frustrating as this situation is ...

How Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Was Made From Home

Image
In March 2020, a national state of emergency was declared in the United States of America. With over 2,000 cases of the novel coronavirus confirmed, state quarantine measures began to be implemented. People were sent home from their jobs and told to work remotely for their own safety. For Raven Software, co-developer of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, suddenly the future of the next game in the biggest FPS series of all time was in jeopardy. But against the odds, Raven ensured that the project didn’t slip into disaster. Detailed plans turned into smart solutions, and work on Black Ops Cold War continued, despite the whole team being miles apart. And on November 13, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War released, exactly on schedule. This is the inside story of how a triple-A video game was made from home during a pandemic. Black Ops Cold War is the first Call of Duty game that Raven Software has been a lead developer on; the company has traditionally been a support studio for the seri...

Xbox Expanding Refund Policy to Allow for Cyberpunk 2077 Returns

Xbox has expanded its refund policy for Cyberpunk 2077 to ensure that anyone who purchased CD Projekt Red's latest game digitally from the Microsoft Store can be fully reimbursed. Those interested can request a refund for Cyberpunk 2077 through Microsoft's support page, and this move comes after Sony's decision to not only offer refunds for all Cyberpunk 2077 players, but also remove it from the PS Store indefinitely.

The Mandalorian: The History of the Darksaber Explained

Warning: this article contains major spoilers for The Mandalorian's story so far, through the Season 2 finale.  [poilib element="accentDivider"] The Mandalorian Season 1 introduced a weapon with a major legacy in the Star Wars universe. The Darksaber returned  in the hands of Moff Gideon in the Season 1 finale, with Season 2 subsequently introducing one of the Darksaber's previous owners in the form of Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze . And with the darksaber now in the hands of Mando himself following the Mandalorian Season 2 finale , it's safe to say this blade will continue to play a big part in the series.

Super Nintendo World Direct Announced for December 18

Nintendo has announced that a roughly 15-minue Super Nintendo World Direct will take place on December 18 at 3pm PT/6pm ET/11pm GMT that will show more of Universal Studios Japan's newest theme park area. Nintendo also was careful to mention that "no game content will be featured," so it looks to only show more of the much-anticipated theme park area that is set to open to the public on February 4, 2021.

League of Legends MMO In Development

Riot Games is making an MMORPG, though it was announced in a bit of an unusual way. This upcoming MMO will be the first foray into the genre from the developers behind League of Legends and Valorant. On Twitter, Riot vice president of intellectual property and entertainment Greg Street tweeted that he is hiring for a new project that will develop the League of Legends universe. When asked whether it was an MMO, Street outright confirmed that it will be on Twitter. While a major project like League of Legends MMO isn't typically announced on a personal Twitter account, the move makes sense for Riot who has been working furiously in recent years to expand its stable of games beyond League of Legends.

Sony Removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PS Store

Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed it will give players of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 (or on PS5 via backward compatibility) refunds for purchasing the game. But the platform holder is taking things a step further and actually removing Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store for digital purchase "until further notice." In a newly posted refund-related page , SIE confirmed its intentions to offer full refunds to all players who purchased Cyberpunk via the PS Store, while also committing to delisting the game for the time being. The company's full statement reads: "SIE strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store. SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice. "Once we have confirmed that you purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store, we will begin processing your refund. Please note t...

Monster Train Review

When my wife first saw me playing Monster Train she thought I’d gotten hooked on Slay The Spire again and she’d have to put up with another stretch of me playing it incessantly. I had good news and bad news for her: the good news is that, despite also being a colorful and cartoony game in which you pick new cards and modifier items after every fight to improve your deck, and then spend energy to use those cards in turn-based battle, Monster Train is a very different take on the deck-building roguelike idea. The bad news (again, for her, not for Monster Train) is that it’s every bit as fantastically deep, dynamic, and replayable, and it’s kept me just as engrossed as Slay The Spire ever did. The most obvious difference is that instead of having just one character attacking and casting spells, Monster Train puts you in command of many creatures – and they can be summoned onto the first three of your train’s four floors to create an increasingly complex gauntlet for enemies to run throu...
