    8 years for this? Wow. I honestly feel like this has to be the most hyped of game of all time. What a let down. Story is only reason this gets a 3. Could easily give this a 1 but am too kind.

    This game is just straight up broken on ps4. I love the argument “play it on pc” “upgrade to ps5” maybe if I could actually buy a ps5 I would.

    CDPR, why you selling alpha version? 15 fps, 720p and low pc spec on console? Crash every 10 minutes playing game and more bugs. You could push the release date of the console version or mark it as Early Access (though not Steam). Do not just say that the hardware is weak, on the last generation of consoles there are quite beautiful and well-developed games. Even the witcher was better optimized

It's obvious now why reviewers were not given console codes/review copies because CDPR wanted to hide the fact that this game is a broken mess on PS4/PS4 Pro and XB1 consoles. I'm playing on PS4 Pro and this truly looks and performs like an average PS3 game. I cannot aim because the camera randomly pans in all different directions without me touching the analog sticks. Textures take forever to pop in so you're left staring at these blurry blobs that are actually important NPCs or vehicles. The FPS is like around 20 consistently. It's hard to imagine a greater failure and disappointment from a developer I previously adored. This game should have been canceled on PS4/XB1 and made only for next gen and high end PCs but CDPR wanted to cash in first so they took our money and gave us this piece of garbage. They should be ashamed. Expand

    I felt the atmosphere, I know the game has potential but this a joke. And the press so are you what is your point if you can't even warn us "Actually no, we have a very custom engine, the RED Engine. And actually, we’re targeting consoles as first class platforms and it looks amazing there. So obviously, if you spent, you know, $2,000 building your PC rig, it’s going to look better on that. But the graphics are quite amazing for what you’re going to get from Cyberpunk 2077 on consoles and low-end PCs."

    My trust for CD Projekt Red is over, i can't trust this company when its comes to a good polished game. Night city feels like a litteral replica of a canadian city known as Downtown Eastside. In other words, its a **** show. streets are empty. And by empty I mean deserted. Street lamps break when barely touched. You can't jump out of your car, it stop automatically. Oh and did I mention the fps? What a joke! i feel bad for original ps4 owners as well as original xbox one owners. I just can't believe sony and microsoft approuved this game to be release on the consoles that were meant to be release on.
    Bugs and glitches aren't the only problem I encountered.
    The gameplay is so bad, enemies require an entire loaded pistol in order to be killed.
    Driving is horrible, car physics are probably non-existent.
    The animation on npc's face are so clunky. Everytime i got out of my car all i see are pixelated humanoids.
    7 years. 7 f***ing years and for what?
    A 100+Gb game that require additional updates to run properly at 30 pfs.
    This 0/10 is not a troll. I'm a customer who willingly paid 80$+ CAD (Canadian dollar) on the worse first person open world game.

    Poorly optimized with a lack of experience in developing for console, CDPR (the studio, not the developers) bit off more than they could chew. Some history first,

    When GTAV was released on PS3/360, the game ran at 720p and 30fps uncapped, sometimes dipping to 25. It was a big AAA open world game, it ran very well on next gen/PC, though the sacrifices on last gen were mediocre, the game was playable and retained some of its visual effects. But this is Rockstar. So what about CD Projekt Red's history? How would they handle a last gen port of a demanding open world game?

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a next gen/PC title crammed on last gen hardware. CDPR has mostly done PC ports with a console port coming out the following year. (Witcher 2, 2011 on PC, the following year, a console port was released). Witcher 3 was the first AAA title CDPR handled with console platforms at launch, it struggled but it worked and improved with patches.

    Cyberpunk 2077's PS4 port barely runs at 25fps, dipping to 15, at a resolution from 900p to 720p. The game was clearly meant to run on a PC and benefits from a PS4 Pro. However, while the PS4 is becoming outdated, good games can be optimized for its hardware like S-M Miles Morales, which looks gorgeous. It takes the right kind of time and experience to make a console port work. CDPR did not have the experience and its awful crunch and hectic development cycle has harmed the developers from making a polished product for the console market. The game should not have been released on PS4/Xbox One AT ALL. It runs and feels like a switch port with horrible draw distance, buggy models and your character's private parts clipping through the clothes.

    What CDPR as a studio has done to its developers, I don't fully know, but it clearly was not handled well after 4 delays and a lack of proper assessment of how the game would run.
    A few things could have been done

    -Delay the game not 4 times, but a full year. Spring/Summer 2021
    The game is polished on last gen, and there's enough time for an enhanced port on next gen later that year for the holiday season.
    -If the game did not perform acceptably on last gen, it should not have been sold at all.
    Next gen/PC should have been prioritized.

    But no. When the company prioritizes sales over the performance of a port/game, they have betrayed the trust of their own developers who are crunched exhausting hours to meet their demands, and the consumer who spend their money on a product that is promised to play, and the game is far from finished.

    It is clear the game has a lot of ambition, ideas and gameplay. However, in this state, the studio has failed its developers, the hard workers who made their vision come true for the sake of profit because they likely knew the console market would sell like hot cakes for the winter season.

    To the developers at CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077, I am so sorry for the stress and time this has caused you. The game is buggy on PC, according to what I've seen/from what my friends have played, but it looks much better. I hope this situation teaches AAA studios to not crunch developers over unreasonable demands of high performance games not performing well on outdated console hardware.

    I truly hope another AAA title never results in this situation ever again. I give this a low score not to demean the developers, but the executives in charge who made this port available for sale.

    (I'm playing on a PS5)

    Honestly I expected an edgy futuristic gaming experience but we just ended up with generic quest maps and a not so fleshed out campaign with overused gameplay mechanics, and dumbed down dialogue. The amount of potential this game has is counter weighted with a lot of what is wrong with it. it doesn't feel like it was baked all the way in the oven when it came to
    (I'm playing on a PS5)

    Honestly I expected an edgy futuristic gaming experience but we just ended up with generic quest maps and a not so fleshed out campaign with overused gameplay mechanics, and dumbed down dialogue. The amount of potential this game has is counter weighted with a lot of what is wrong with it. it doesn't feel like it was baked all the way in the oven when it came to writing and direction before they wen't into production. What it looks like is they made a lot of discoveries while they were producing this game, and it shows that they never found an identity for this game. It looks like a last gen game that was ahead of its time, but it came out this week.

    Positives: The shooting and guns are the best part.

    Cons:
    1) Bugs Galore, and it crashes around 1 time per hour.
    2) Graphics look outdated even for a PS4 game, it looks very last gen. The NPC's all look like plastic.
    3) Proportions of the environment seem small, I don't know it just doesn't feel like I'm in a huge city most of the time, everything seems small and cartoonish, I imagined being high up and having epic gun fights in dangerous places we could fall. But I'm not overwhelmed in any away from the size of the city. It just feels like the proportions and the movement don't give it justice. It might have been better if the map was smaller and the environment/buildings were bigger and taller.
    4) Nothing cinematic about the story. It's just another open world where NPC's are all standing in one spot and you run up to them to activate story. I'm tired of playing open worlds where you constantly just get phone calls and then you have to go up to an NPC to activate the story. I wish NPCs felt more realistic and behaved as if they were pushing a story onto you, kind of like a mix of cinematic heavy rain elements with action decision making. I would prefer for there to be less NPC interactions and instead more cinematic and choreographed story beats. Think about it, in real life you cant just run up to strangers and talk to them all the time, there should be a moment where random NPC's get hostile at you for constantly talking to them. NPCs need to feel more modern.
    5) Sound and Music seem so bland. I'm reminded of Rage 2 from a lot of the sound queues.
    6) Swords and Knives make squishy sounds and they don't ever make metallic sounds and their animations and combos are basic as hell.
    7) The Driving doesn't have its own identity. They could have spent a lot more time changing how travelling is done, like upgrading parkour abilities, climbing, and more jumping attacks. Metros, trains, and high speed air taxis could have been so much better. Even fast travelling could have been cooler from what they are offering now. I really imagined myself being above ground most of the game.
    8) The world is missing a sense of innocence. What I mean is there is no contrast in the universe and or the characters. There's no relationships that feel authentic nor there is a sense of fragility within the characters. There's nothing sympathetic about anyone in this story, they are all just rough criminals. I would have preferred playing as a cop or a detective with loved ones and something tying him/her down to why we wan't to live and for whom. There is nothing that makes me care about this ticking time bomb, nor does anything in the story make me truly feel like I'm in the future; it honestly feels like a generic story super imposed in a future setting but there's no WOW moment. The dialogue could be less on the surface and more profound.
    9) There is no memorable antagonist or moments that feel like there is a real pending doom or a big story. This game really does feel tied down to generic open world mechanics with a generic quest map and nothing incredible in story. I expected a real epic story but ended up with just a map filled with exclamation marks.
    10) The shooting is the best part of this game but there is missed potential on how we can use technology to defend ourselves. Imagine all types of armors and devices that can block or absorb bullets and deflect robots. Anything futuristic would make this game more of an RPG but it always just goes back to the generics of an FPS. Borderlands 3 has better armors.
    11) The UI is low res, feels like a PC UI, every-time I use the UI it pauses the game and brings you out of the moment, I wish the UI was connected with my character better and it didn't pause the game but instead was a gaming component. The organisation could have been better same thing with the sound design behind it.
    12) I wish I had more abilities in fighting, and more abilities to travel and jump around the buildings. Missed opportunities with the swords and melee combat.

Why would I rather CD Projekt Red to just cancel CyberPunk 2077 for current gen consoles? Because this port for the Xbox One, S, and even the X is terrible. If someone from the future would've told me that Cyberpunk 2077 was going to have worst performance than GTA V, I would've just say "LMAO you're crazy." Sadly that person from the future was correct, THIS GAME RUNS WORST THAN GTA V. Cyberpunk 2077 is not even a constant 30fps experience on the Xbox One S this game reaches the low 14 FPS on some action scenes in the game, and even sometimes the resolution goes down to 720p . CD Projekt Red can't give the excuse that the Xbox One | S | X | is not capable of running at a constant 1080p 30fps, for example Red Dead Redemption 2 runs at a constant 1080p 30FPS, so the console can run decently looking games but CD Projekt Red underestimated the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with disgusting performances, it seems like the game is running on a Nintendo Switch. i don't recommend this game at the moment, if they decide to make an update and make it look like Red Dead Redemption 2 or even the Last of Us 2 I would change my mind and recommend but this game is not good for current gen consoles if you have a next gen console or a high end PC this game is great and runs well and I would recommend on newer and powerful hardware but for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 they could've handle it better, for the game to be fun and playable just like Spider-Man 2018, RDR 2, TLOU 2. And story is a bit lackluster but that's not a big issue because multiplayer is coming soon. In conclusion this game was not ready for Xbox One and Playstation 4 an it should've gotten delayed once more. Expand

    What a pure dissapointment. This game needed 10 more years to be what they promised and advertised. The only customization left is ur character but u can’t see that because they removed third person cutscenes. In the opening they say u can live the rich live, yet u will always keep living in the slums because they removed appartments. So much got cut...this game isn’t worth 1% of the hype.

    There is one way to describe my feelings after having played over 20 hours of cyberpunk 2077: disappointed. I trusted CDPR, I even pre-ordered the game, I even defended them when no console review copies were given.

    For the purpose of writing this review, let's ignore the bugs, glitches and weird errors. Let's ignore the fact that the game looks bad, I mean, really bad, like life of the black tiger bad levels. If you ignore all that, an issue remains: this game does not run well, it doesn´t even run all right or even passably. In the linear scenes 30 fps are rarely achieved and when free roaming through night city... I've seen PowerPoint presentations running smoother than some of cyberpunk 2077s set pieces.

    After 20 hours I just gave up, the issues in this game made my experience unbearable and tedious. Perhaps in 6 months, after several patches I`ll give this game another chance. For now I cannot decide which gives me the worse nightmares: how cyberpunk might have played on consoles if it were released in April of this year or the sound of a 2013 PS4 Fat running this game.

All these issues make the game absolutely unplayable on PS4 and Xbox One.

    I launched Cyberpunk 2077 on my PS4 Slim several weeks after the release and most of the bugs were fixed, so I was able to play the game from start to finish. However, the quality of textures was painfully low, I usually had only 20-22 frames per second while driving around the city (with dips below 20), and some objects tended to disappear. The technical state and graphics of the PS4 version are awful, which is a shame, because the game itself has one of the best stories I have ever encountered, its gunplay is really good, and Night City is very impressive.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a game brimming with potential, and it damn near reaches it on so many occasions, but the pitfalls of its development ultimately drag it down. There's still a lot to like here for RPG fans and lovers of the genre, but it's far from the generation-defining masterwork that the world was waiting for.
