The Witcher 3 was kind of a monolith of a game. For an independent game, it pulled off a AAA experience vastly superior to what most big budget developers could even fathom. What made The Witcher 3 so good (besides the world and combat and just everything) was the writing, especially in terms of the quest designs. Quests were multi-layered with different potential outcomes and often involved unique and interesting twists to muddy your goals or cast the characters involved in a different light. The quests in The Witcher 3
In a recent interview on the German podcast Gamestar, Philipp Weber stated that the quests in Cyberpunk will be about 3-5 times more complex than those seen in The Witcher 3, with an emphasis on expression and unique approaches suited to the particular game style of the player. He clarified this further in a Reddit post, as a means to explain some details lost in translation, with the unique abilities that a cyberpunk setting offers the player in that there are far more opportunities for experimentation and solutions to the obstacles placed in front on the player than in a setting more archaic like The Witcher’s universe. If these quests play like a Witcher 3 quest pumped full of
Cyberpunk 2077 is still in development for current generation consoles (PC, PS4 and Xbox One) although no release date has yet been confirmed.

I am uber excited about this game. I just wish they would settle on a release date!

I would rather not. Let the release date be well off because once they set it in stone the vocal internet will get annoyed and deadlines will make the game look unfinished. In fact with Witcher 3 they completed the game before they revealed the launch date 6 months after and used those 6 months for polish.

They have stated that they would “like” a 2019 release date but refuse to rush the game, no matter how high the demand is.

CyberGeralt 2077.
I am cautiously optimistic about this game. Yes, I never got far in the Witcher 3 because Dom Dutch Confuses Knoppies.

Can you call Witcher 3 an independent game though? I mean CDPR is a massive publisher because of GoG.

Same company. So yes, independent.

Doesn’t work like that otherwise plenty games are indie and not AAA.

So as far as independent goes, it does actually work like that.

In fact this fits the Witcher 3 better.

“Financial support of a publisher”.
You mean the devs who fund themselves are somehow considered financed by a publisher in your eyes? Just because they also publish their own games, doesn’t make them funded by a publisher. In fact they’re self-funded, which makes them independent.

They are their own publisher. Bethesda creates their own games as well as publish other in house dev games. Same with EA Specially the same with Blizzard (at least back in the day). Their is actually no real clear definition of indie game that everyone agrees on. The most popular one out there is a studio with a dev team of less than 30 people.
Witcher 3 is more triple A than it is independent to me at least. Not a bad thing though.
For reference. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f4595d45a2a858dce1131eab8d7d1c841233921d78432ed935b40947edbd5081.jpg

Did GoG exist when Witcher 3 was released? Asking, as I am not sure.
Kromas

Yes …. it existed when 2 was released.

The client however only launched with 3 though but the platform has been there for ages.
