The journalist who warned players of epileptic seizure risks in _Cyberpunk 2077 _ has received dozens of videos camouflaged as support that are actually capable of inducing photosensitivity triggers. Most, if not all, games feature seizure warnings that pop up in-game ahead of the main menu screen. However, players with epilepsy should be extra wary of the Braindance segments and other design choices featured in CD Projekt RED’s forthcoming role-playing ti
Game Informer Associate Editor Liana Ruppert recently penned an “Epileptic PSA,” detailing exactly what epileptics can expect from Cyberpunk 2077 . Apparently, it’s not only the highly-stylized Braindance feature that can cause problems for those with a history photosensitivity troubles. ” General triggers ” may also prove problematic due to the sci-fi title’s interface, according to Ruppert’s article. And some sequences involving Keanu Reeves’ character, Johnny Silverhand, could similarly affect those with some forms of epile
CD Projekt Red posted a tweet displaying a map of global release times for PC and Stadia players. The PC release is centered on December 10, 12 AM GMT. This means that players in the eastern United States can play on December 9, 7 PM EST; for those on the West Coast, Cyberpunk 2077 will unlock at 4 PM PST. Console users will see their game unlock at midnight local time, meaning that American console players will have to wait a few hours longer than their PC counterparts, and vice versa for gamers in Oceania and A
Cyberpunk 2077 is based off a series of table-top role-playing games, set in the neon-infused dystopia of Night City. Players create their own character, explore the city, and tackle quests with great rewards and severe consequences for the choices they make. It is a massive game, with one CDPR developer claiming to have amassed a 1 75-hour and counting runtime , which in turn results in a very large file size. With the day one patch alone clocking in at 43GB , those who have pre-ordered the game are eager to pre-load the game so they can prowl the streets of Night City as soon as possible. The hype is so high that CD Projekt Red has specified down head to the Cyberpunk 2077fans site the hour when players across the globe can do jump into its latest (and, hopefully, greatest) RPG advent
But one fan doesn’t have to wait until CyberNight. Reddit user DanXcel has apparently had his copy of the elusive game shipped to him early, giving him a golden opportunity to explore the game’s technical aspects . He has confirmed that the game has two separate modes, at least on Xbox Series X; there’s a “performance” mode and a “quality” mode. The basic concepts behind these two modes are pretty self-explanatory; the quality mode emphasizes graphics and makes the game look as pretty as possible, while performance mode emphasizes smoother gameplay, sacrificing visual quality in order to put less strain on the console. DanXcel was unable to provide any deep specifications on either mode, but he confirmed that performance mode was much smoother than quality in terms of framerate. He also identified a noticeable drop in visual resolution in performance mode, but that didn’t prevent him from identifying performance mode as the preferable option thanks to its better gameplay experie
While the spread-out release times can certainly be a little confusing, the developer is doing its best to communicate and clarify exactly when the game can be downloaded and played. It’s a testament to the growing, near-uncontrollable hype for such an ambitious first-person RPG, so eagerly anticipated that CD Projekt Red has teamed up with Twitter for a countdown celebration of the game’s release . More importantly, by allowing some preloads already with others only days away, there is now no doubt that _Cyberpunk 2077 **** _ will release on December 10. Proba
A Reddit user has leaked facts about _Cyberpunk 2077 _ after apparently receiving an early copy of the game. CD Projekt Red’s long-awaited RPG is finally set to release next week on December 9th, after a long line of delays. The most recent holdup actually surprised the developers as much as it surprised the fans, as they were apparently not made aware of the delay until the news went public on social me
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
For some unfathomable reason, Liana Ruppert’s helpful warnings triggered something else: insensitive trolls. Since posting the PSA on Game Informer and Twitter, the journalist has received a series of unsolicited videos, many of which purport to be those offering support. In a follow-up Twitter post, however, Ruppert says that some toxic gamers have instead sent clips of flashing imagery that can ” induce photosensitive triggers ,” which is particularly terrible since Ruppert has confirmed that she is epileptic and suffered a ” bad seizure ” while playing the game. She’s since warned others who are sharing her posts that if they, too, suffer from epilepsy and get sent a suspicious video, it is best to avoid viewing
