Večeras je na e3 sajmu prikazan sjajni trejler za godinama čekani Cyberpunk 2077, i to u okviru Xbox E3 konferencije.
Više o samom trejleru pročitaje na ovom linku, gde ga možete i pogledati, ali taj trejler nije sve što su nam drugari iz Cd Projekt RED večeras pripremili, jer je video sadržao i sakrivenu poruku koja je ubrzo otkrivena.
Osim što su na samom početku prikazivanja, prilikom “hakerisanja” konferencije, podelili srećnim i obazrivim posmatračima desetak The Witcher 3 kodova sa sve ekspanzijama, tu se takođe krilo i pismo fanovima.
U njemu CD Projekt kaže da se izvinjava fanovima što su ćutali ovako dugo o igri, ali da su prosto to rešili iz dva koraka. Najpre su želeli da u potpunosti završe sa The Witcher 3 i tome su posvetili glavnu pažnju, a zatim jednostvano nisu želeli da izlaze u javnost dok nemaju nešto konkretno da pokažu, jer su očekivanja velika i oni žele da održe kvalitet.
Na kraju podužeg pisma, odgovaraju na četiri ključna pitanja.
- Što se tiče datuma izlaska igre, kažu da još uvek ne mogu da kažu ništa konretno, osim da je “znatno bliži nego što je ranije bio”. Kvalitet im je apsolutno na prvom mestu i jedini motiv, i kada budu bili sigurni da će moći da daju datum, daće ga.
- Koliko je velika igra? Kažu “ozbiljno velika”. I kažu da potpuno iskreno, apsolutno nemaju pojma koliko je velika osim da je zaista ogromna, i da kada budu “sve sastavili”, tada će moći i da izađu sa više informacija.
- Besplatne DLC i ekspanzije su apsolustno nešto što možemo da očekujemo, kao i potpuno odsustvo DRM zaštite.
- I na kraju, NEMA mikrotransakcija, uopšte! Igra će biti singlplejer narativno iskustvo, i tu nema mesta za bilo kakve mikrotransakcije!
Moramo reći da je CD Projekt RED još jednom postavio standarde kako da se odnosi prema fanovima, i skidamo im kapu.
Celo sakriveno pismo možete pročitati ispod, u originalnu na engleskom jeziku:
It’s been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077. We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and… went dark. Normal procedure for these kinds of things – you announce a game and then shut up, roll up your sleeves, and go to work. We wanted to give you The Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that.
As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077’s pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? At some point, we made a decision to resume talking about the game only when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realise you’ve been (im)patiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn’t want anyone to feel that we’re taking this for granted. On the contrary – it gives us a lot of extra motivation. The hype is real, so the sweat and tears need to be real, too :).
But to the point. Today is the day. If you’re seeing this, it means you saw the trailer – our vision of Cyberpunk, an alternative version of the future where America is in pieces, megacorporations control all aspects of civilised life, and gangs rule the rest. And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don’t let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 is a true single player, story-driven RPG. You’ll be able to create your own character and…, well, you’ll get to know the rest from what we show at our booth at E3. Be on the lookout for previews!
Before we finish, you probably have some questions, right?
- When? When we told you we would only release the game when it’s ready, we meant it. We’re definitely much, much closer to a release date than we were back then :), but it’s still not the time to confirm anything, so patience is still required. Quality is the only thing that drives us – it’s the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher.
- How big? Seriously big, but…, to be honest, we have no bloody clue at this point in time. Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect. And we promise we’ll do this before we start talking about any pre-orders or ask anything of you.
- Free DLC/Expansions/DRM? Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3. As for DRM, CP2077 will be 100% DRM-free on PC.
- Microtransactions? In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?
Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have a minute, do visit cyberpunk.net and share your opinion (about anything) with us. We read everything you post and we treat it very seriously.
Yours, CD PROJEKT RED Team
