It really bothers me that Ray Tracing (which would make this game look infinitely better) will not be in the game at launch. It’s going to come a whole year or so later according to some sources.
Why are they releasing an unfinished game? They need to delay this, but I know they won’t because Moneysoft can’t afford to cut it from the XSX Launch.
We asked for a burger & 343 is giving us a bun with pickles & a slice of cheese…Are we really just going to have to wait for the rest of this game? I swear this is just ridiculous guys.
This is a beloved franchise & it pains me to see it being reduced to meme material…I’m not okay with that.
COVID 19 cannot be to blame for this. They had 5 years. 5 years. I will say it again 5 years.
Its Microsoft being Microsoft. And they control 343i. They wouldn’t allow 343i to ever delay their prized console seller. Even if it bites them in the back.

The rumor is that MP won’t be in at launch. 343 squashed it. (of course they would, it’s bad press)
But riddle me this - Game launches in 4 months. Why wait? You’re in the middle of a global pandemic, this is primetime to drive hype as many of us are on the internet & in front of screens now more than ever.
They were radio silent because they had nothing to show (clearly) & I fear the same can be said of the rest of the game – They don’t have anything to show because it is far from ready.
I’m telling you now their silence is due to them hiding what they don’t have.

So it is also Microsofts fault that Cyberpunk will also get Ray Tracing post-launch?
To the OP, don’t believe every rumor you’re reading on the internet.
Just for the sake of your nerves, only rely on official sources.
Infinite is currently still under production, so no, going by the stuff we know right now 343i is not releasing an unfinished game.
Why don’t we hold off opinions like these until release? Then we’ll know for sure if it is unfinished or not.
I’d say it’s more like we ordered a burger with no onions, but they put onions on it and forgot to add the condiments.
Anyway, this seems more like Microsoft being Microsoft. We will get our game this holiday season, but we may have to wait a year for it to feel complete.
We will only know once we get our hands on the game. For now all we’ve seen is a trailer and a gameplay demo, nothing more, nothing less.

Incorrect sir. CyberPunk will have the ray tracing update available AT LAUNCH. Do your research. 343 said “SOME TIME AFTER LAUNCH”

Conversely, they can use the pandemic as a legitimate excuse for delaying Infinite and release a complete game later on.
Ah yes, the classic “why are they releasing an unfinished game comment” about a game that isnt out yet and has no firm date of release other than “Holiday 2020”

Yeah, and this one missing feature is just Ray Tracing. One graphical thing that’ll probably also be an optional feature - that doesn’t scream unfinished game to me, just…That one optional thing that doesn’t impact the game itself is coming a bit later. It’s not the same deal as Halo 5 missing Forge and Big Team Battle at launch, both of which are very much things that impact the game proper. The multiplayer thing’s just a rumor and nothing more - IF they planned on releasing it without that? Then I’d agree with the OP.

I am in total agreement with you here. Although I can understand their reasoning for not having BtB in 5, wanting to push everyone into their fancy new game type, I did not agree with it. And I do think it had a significant impact. For that matter 5 still doesn’t have proper BtB support from 343 .
I really don’t care as long as it plays well, it looks classic, it has a decent, non convoluted story, and it has a few good modes to do with a stable launch experience and isn’t filled with bugs/crashes. I don’t give a flying -Yoink- about ray tracing or “graphical superiority,” or really graphics in general as long as I don’t get a -Yoinking!- headache looking at the screen and it looks nice. I’m not buying the series x for a good two years, if at all, and I’m not buying the game for the series X, I’m getting it for the console I have now. And I’m not interested in gaming for graphics. I want a good red vs blue experience with mostly classic play and an occasional cool twist here and there. The game looks on par for this console generation. I can’t stress enough that this game is a launch title in name only. It might have some slight advantages on the newer system to show off but it’s not going to be anything insane.

This is essentially it considering the graphics team is quoted as saying something akin to “We had to work long and very hard to ensure this slice of gameplay was ready to be shown to the world”… 4-6 months from release… meaning the rest of the game that hasn’t gotten that same attention is in a very sore state.
But the studio or game head is on record saying he thinks people should “just watch it again in 4K”… so he’s in complete denial- which means it’ll release as scheduled and what we see is the best we can hope for with the reality more likely being a further downgrade in visuals in areas that haven’t recieved as much attention.
