Hantaro 28 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I spotted this on a news feed, figured I would share it for anyone concerned or wondering about them cutting content from the final game. Quote Developer Miles ‘MilezZx’ Tost’s statement explains that, while CDPR could never force everyone to like the game, fans shouldn’t be worried. “Cutting features and scope is a very normal part of development” he says. “You can witness it so openly with our game, because we happily gave in to community wishes and showed you that 2018 demo. Think about it. The game – two years from release. “Of course we iterate and change stuff and of course we also will have ideas that sound great on paper but then doesn’t end up working out well in the game with all the other features. [In the] Witcher 3 we also cut a ton of stuff, but in the end all of it made the game better.” Source: https://www.pcgamesn.com/cyberpunk-2077/cut-content I have a friend who worked for a game development company who said similar things to what Miles did. Cutting things is very common and usually necessary to get the progress of the game on. Sometimes things are just too buggy or need more time to be figured out. Link to post
Neon 33 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I saw some people complaining on Discord, one of the servers I am on about this just the other day. Someone said something a long the lines of "paying for an unfinished game". I couldn't even get into the conversation and how stupid that thought process was with him. And yeah, this is normal for all games. Heck, it is normal for movies, TV shows, and even music albums. Link to post

In fact, I would argue we are getting more than what we are paying for even with taking some things out. 1 Link to post
KyleZ 32 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 This is a process most games go through and I think the only people complaining are the ones that have no clue how a game is made and developed. Likely just kids. I am no expert in the field and I know this is a process that takes place in AAA titles. Link to post
RiotRaven 26 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Nothing out of the ordinary, sure but this is a fairly large game and one that they have been working on for several years. You have to expect some things to be cut and trimmed or removed for DLC down the road. Link to post
Twizted 39 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I don't know how much content gets cut but I know it happens. To think a game is going to be released unfinished is a bit of a stretch though. Link to post

To think a game is going to be released unfinished is a bit of a stretch though. Even indie games do cuts. It all depends on budget and future plans for the game. Like mentioned by someone else, they could do cuts with DLC in mind too. 1 Link to post
Jaysun 30 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I read something about this a few years back. Might have been about Witcher 3. It was an interview with devs and they were talking about how hard it was to pick and choose what they cut but the main reason for cutting content is to make the experience of playing the game better for the player.

Ghost 23 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I don't know why people are shocked when this happens or think it never does. For some titles it has to do with money, sure but many others cut content simply to improve the experience for the player and the quality of how the game runs. Link to post

A lot of it is coming from a few people who are just pissed and then kids are repeating what they are saying to be edgy. I just ignore it. 1 Link to post

And yeah, this isn't EA. They actually want to fit as much as they can on the game for its release. That is why it keeps getting delayed if anything. 1 Link to post

Thinking about it they are releasing this game on two different generations of consoles in one go PLUS PC. Getting everything to work on each one has to be a nightmare. Link to post
KyleZ 32 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 People who don't consider this stuff are just spoiled brats who have no concept of how the real world works. I am convinced of this. Like I said before, it is most like coming from kids. The backlash and complaining that is. 1 Link to post
Milly 33 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I am fine with this process because it ensures games run better and preform more smoothly. Also, a lot of things that tend to get cut end up making the game better like a few people mentioned. Link to post

I swear kids are obsessed with being edgy online just for the sake of getting attention. Some of them will say and do the stupidest things on social platforms. I saw a 15 year old girl twerking in front of some anti-abortion signs the other day in a video. Like... what is wrong with kids these days? Link to post
