I really like NMS, but I think it's inevitable that at some point they'll nerf something here and there and introduce new stuff behind paywalls, and the game will functionally be a subscription based MMO. I can smell it.
I see no evidence of that. This game has been out for years now and I'd argue less are playing it right now, then when it was first out. If they wanted to do that, they had the chance and a larger base to do it with.
The game is simply not doing crazy Minecraft numbers to really believe they have some plan to do that.
Cyberpunk probably will be too, it just takes time.
I highly doubt it. Single player games don't have that same longevity, NMS is a online game, we all knew that day 1 so seeing it get updated isn't really a surpirse, but a expectation, the degree of the updates I'd say is what we are shocked at. The type of game it is makes it easy to add stuff too and have folks return.
Its a procedural game with no real story where you play as you go and do what you want freely etc.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a single player story, with an ending that just got its MP cancelled. So I have little faith you'll see the same thing with that game even remotely. Single player games just don't have that type of tread long term, shit the only exceptions are stuff like FFVII remake where we clearly know its in parts or something, not a game with a obvious ending, with a list of promises of what it should have or could have been.
Not many will stick around for that shit (me included). We'd just move on to other single player games that are actually finished and complete games, not waiting years for them to make a fucking game work POST release in chunks or something. You only really get 1 shot at that type of thing. If this was some LBP type game like Dreams or clearly NMS I can see how updating and adding stuff can keep people around playing it, but not a legit single player game.
Shit, look at the main NeoGaf gaming page, you see folks talking about hype for Disco Elysium, Returnal, Monster Hunter Rise, Outriders etc. Thats how it is. Something is hot for a few weeks, then we move on. Even MPs suffer from that, but single player titles are the king of once over type playthroughs. I mean think about it, we are talking about Starfield maybe getting a release this fall, the new Halo pushed to next summer, rumor about the new Call Of Duty being WWII, BF6 rumors about it being a reboot simply called Battlefield, Breath Of The Wild 2, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, but hey....we are all going to stop what we are doing to try, to maybe, kinda give one of the biggest questionable flops in recent memory from 2020 a chance, fall 2021 or worse 2022?
Its even more fucking crazy when you think of legit 2022 of them trying to add more to get people to come back when they are dealing with a new AC that year, Call Of Duty, Halo, Spiderman 2 (we all know that shit is coming lol) I mean...I just don't see it happening. When you have AC Vallhalla charting better then you world wide, I don't know how many updates will really change that shit and its only going to get worse as time goes on. Gamers move on fast with single player stuff and with them cutting MP, I see even less reason why folks would return. Only a small few I believe will, so I have my doubts on see them do a NMS level of support. They lied the first time about the games content, I see no reason to then believe for less sales and less money they will suddenly do the most work.
Doubt it. Those guys talk too much and have too high an opinion of themselves.
The first step to correcting your mistakes is to be humble.
Agreed.
The shit that was being said in those trailers has now become memes in terms of just how much bullshit this team was spewing and its hurt them deeply in terms of reputation. The next generation of open world apparently doesn't have AI...
That wasn't simply a bad game for 2020, that was a bad game PERIOD. It lacked elements that fucking PS2 games had. I've never seen a modern AAA game of that height ever fail in so many areas, while lying about so much shit. I don't even have a point of reference for this ever happening, CP2077 is literally the first I've see to this fucking degree of lies to the point of lawsuits. For god sakes, the game literally has shit in the menu that doesn't actually really exist in the game, its literally giving information, about things WITHIN THE GAME that don't exist.
The menu has a stat for a attribute that was ripped from the game and the logo of it remains lol
The apartment tells you information about things you literally can't do in the game cause it was stripped and they are so lazy, the text still appears about something that can't be done in the game....
So yea, I'd say with such trailers, claiming to be the "next generation of open world design" that is a pretty fucking high claim for something that is literally struggling to meet GTA3 standards circa 2001.
