I think this is the one thing open world games never seem to make much progress on, so I hope it's not just hyperbole and they actually have something crazy in mind.

But unless they've fired all of their executive-tier staff since the launch of the first CP2077, I'll refrain from holding my breath.

The fact that GTA V's crowd system still stands out for feeling relatively "real" -- a 12-year-old game -- suggests to me that it's more about design and execution than actually needing a lot of technological advancement.

yeah, Rockstar excels at this. red dead 2 had the best crowds and random encounters. it's got me excited for gta6

This! Rdr2 is insanely engaging with randos.

Where's the pre-order link?

I believe them and will definitely get the game eventually, cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games and I'm excited for a sequel. However I will wait a few weeks after it comes out before buying it lol

That sounds like a massive waste of time and money for something that people will only ever notice when it goes wrong. How about making a good game instead of spending millions of dollars on fancy window dressing?

Yes, there were big claims before and yes, everyone should be extremely cautious. Never preorder games. It will likely suck, and even then just from the general trend in AAA gaming.

BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they're no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.
