Some fans are arguing that similar video restrictions were in place for reviews of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt . There's a glaring difference between the two that's well worth noting, however. The core drama surrounding The Witcher 3's performance at the time concerned its graphical fidelity taking a hit. On the other hand, Cyberpunk 2077 is reportedly suffering performance issues that involve game-breaking glitches , animation wonkiness, and an assortment of other bugs that some have described as rather appalling. A beefy 28GB day one patch will hopefully tackle these issues and whatever else may beset a player's enjoyment of the title's vibrant open-world. However, there is credence to the argument that some other AAA games also stipulate that reviewers can't use their own gameplay captures for pre-launch reviews, so Cyerpunk 2077 isn't the only one that deserves extra scrutiny h
In order to foment this excitement, CD Projekt Red has released a new launch trailer for the upcoming title on YouTube. The two-minute video places a strong emphasis on protagonist V and the journey they take through Night City. Death is a very common topic of discussion in the trailer, which sets V up for a clearly plot-significant brush with their own mortality. The character's relationship with the dangerous dystopian city around them is also a major focus, and it's obvious that their actions in the game will likely shake Night City to its core, and possibly even burn it to the ground. To that end, the trailer is based around a central question posed by an NPC at the end of the trailer: "Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody... or go down for all times in a blaze of glory?"

Now that fans are in the most recent final stretch leading to the game's release, they're surely starting to get impatient. The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account has taken to stoking these fans anticipation online. Earlier today the account published a brief voice clip, apparently from the protagonist of the game, informing listeners that she's received word of a big job coming up that she will need help with. This message certainly fits with the game's heavy themes of violence and crime , but the nature of this job, and the average Twitter follower's role in it, are unclear. Even more enigmatic is the "Cybernight" hashtag which has been appended to this transmiss
It's increasingly common for AAA games to have accessibility features, so it's strange that CD Projekt Red used such major epilepsy triggers in Cyberpunk 2077 without including a way to turn them off. There are many quality and performance options in Cyberpunk 2077 , but none of them include a way to lower red and white light flashes. With a game as hotly anticipated as Cyberpunk 2077 , some people prone to seizures will still play the game, and thankfully there are some (frustrating) ways to try to avoid the trigg
The best way to do this is to look away from the screen completely during Cyberpunk 2077's Braindance animations , or pausing the game frequently to avoid prolonged flashing lights. Some TVs and monitors have modes that reduce certain kinds of light, such as lowering blue light. While none of these are surefire fixes for avoiding seizures during Cyberpunk 2077 Patch Notes|Https://Cyberpunk2077Fans.Com/ 2077 , they're currently the only known ways to try to avoid epilepsy triggers while playing the g
Unfortunately, when the game hits shelves on December 10th, not everyone will be able to fully enjoy the bright lights of Night City. Liana Ruppert, a journalist for Game Informer , issued a PSA yesterday warning epileptic fans of an overabundance of flashing lights in the game which could potentially trigger seizures. Given the high-tech nature of the game's setting, this is perhaps understandable, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. Among the many potential triggers Ruppert outlined were decorative lights pulsing in multiple bars and nightclubs, as well as a glitchy visual effect which appeared every time Keanu Reeves' character Johnny Silverhand appeared onscreen. She also identified the game's braindance mechanic as a major threat; the headset that protagonist V uses to engage with this mechanic in-game bears an unfortunate resemblance to a medical device used specifically to trigger epileptic episodes, and is roughly as effect
The setting for Cyberpunk 2077 is the futuristic and dense megalopolis known as Night City. Because of this, there are a lot of scenes involving flashing light. These flashing lights, especially red and white light, are a major trigger for many people with epilepsy. This has been the main reason for the epilepsy warning, but it's not the only seizure trigger found in Cyberpunk 20
The internet is simmering with news and leaks from the new game. Some fans have gotten their copies early, giving them ample opportunity to sneak tidbits of the experience to the rest of the online community. One such lucky fan was able to reveal certain technical specifications; namely that the Xbox Series X version of the game has two different visual modes to choose from ; performance and quality. The former emphasizes smooth frame rates and more accessible gameplay, while the latter emphasizes graphics resolution and looking as appealing as possible. As the release inches closer and closer, the excitement will likely reach a boiling point as more leaks like this spill
