Cyberpunk 2077 targeted for end of 2016. Source could be some guy who was standing close to the CDPR office though

Please be true.

I read an interview yesterday with one of the CDProject's leads who said they'll be working on TW3 (expansions, improvements, patches, and maybe more) all next year.

With Twitcher 3 selling well they could probably afford to have two full teams running in parallel now anyway. I'd expect a fair number of TW3 people to have been transferred over to Cyberpunk already though. A Twitcher3: EE or some extra dlc/ expansions wouldn't need a full team, nor would preproduction on a 'TW4'.

IIRC the story of Geralt is done from their perspective. They might have new.things in that setting thoug but i expect them to go with something new and abitious that will combine the design quality of TW and something like DA:O personal backgrounds and a level of custom characters. We will see how they fare with Cyberpunl though

Beaglerush (probably the most famous XCOM player around) has put up some XCOM 2 gameplay up as well, so it's a coordinated release of all this material today I guess.

Yep, previews at RPS and other places. Sounds like it'll be enjoyable, which means Firaxis will screw it up a bit

I already dislike how the display of how much damage you did/took is delayed, so yeah.

Love the internet idiot comments on his channel too. How can people be so dumb?

On some less-good news, the "Project Phoenix" JRPG Kickstarter has descended into farce with the latest project update published today.

 

TL;DR timeline:

- Initial estimate (September 2013) of about 15 months for completion.

- In March, claim a target date in June for Alpha and December for Beta.

- In November, admit they have no programmer yet.

- In December, claim they have a programmer joining in February, who will take approximately 30 months to complete the project, which would be followed up by 6 months of testing. So a 2H 2018 release.

 

It's pretty spectacular how it went from a planned 15 months end-to-end project cycle to 30 months just for one step of the process. Makes the likes of Tim Schafer and Chris Roberts look like Flash Gordon.

Having seen the pre-order and deluxe edition/DLC plans, I'll now be waiting a year to get the XCOM 2 Complete Edition for 50% off, which is generally a good idea with Firaxis games anyway.

I'm thinking about this as well due to having a backlog of solid games to play, plus the constant barrage of $90+ "complete" editions are getting stale when game prices are constantly dropping quickly after release.

Now i can't wait until i get home and watch this.

The XCOM 2 vids by Beaglerush look amazing! The sequel seems to have taken a lot of cues from the Long War mod (and from cut features of the original I suppose since that's what Long War is built upon) + adding its own bits. Which is great.

I watched all the vids and they are amazing!!!

Ahh, blowing through the roof is definitely cool

I watched the first video and the game looks great. Never heard of Beaglerush before but I find him very entertaining.

oh man, watch his Ironman Impossible YT series, or his Ironman Impossible full playthough campaign of Long War mod, he also was doing twitch campaign of Long War for over a year and it was damn good and funny (also browse his fanart gallery for some cherries)

Yeah, he seems to be extremely good at taking what's happening on the screen and weaving it into a proper story. I'll definitely check out more of his videos.

Found his jokes tiresome.

Gah. This makes too much sense...but I wants it!

Btw. does anyone here watch Z Nation? In a few episodes, one of the main characters wears a duster that looks awfully similar to the one Ulysses is wearing.

 

 

The Murphy wears it for at least two episodes. I'd say that's a hell of a coincidence.

That doesn't look like Ulysses' duster at all, though?

It's the flag on the back of it. Ofc it is not 1:1 the same.

 

Nice tribute to Westwood

Awesome stuff.
