Cyberpunk 2077 Reveal (2018) vs Retail (2020) | Direct Comparison

The retail footage might have better graphics
But i seem to prefer the aesthetic of the E3 footage even more its just so good

2.0 comparison?

The original build still looks better in my opinion even with the 2.0 update (yes the lighting and shading are better in retail but I'd give that up for a more gritty realistic style, cutscenes, interactions, more fleshed out life paths, etc). I still love the game for what it is but we def got bamboozled.

You have to do one with the new update now. Love how you look at all the detail and every corner.

This is a rare case where the released version looks better than the demo

There was a bossfight at the end of the Maelstrom mission? Played it yesterday.. no bossfight.. just 3 normal goons at the place where the video shows the boss.. wtf?

I like how the phone call has a background in the reveal rather then a silhouetted background to the character in the retail

What they ported to ps5? It was a calculator exclusive 😡

Mute it so much better

Who gives a f* about graphics when most features were cut out? I'm still worried about devs scratching promises than direct comparison of graphics. Took them 3 years to fix most of the stuff and it still is not what was shown. No, not talking about graphics.

that fat fck got exactly what he deserved

this is one of those cases where the game got better and worse.

The game is beautiful, but it actually is starting to look dated. I never thought I'd think so, but yeah, it looks a few years old.

People always seem to forget that cdpr didn’t create the cyberpunk universe and that the franchise has existed for more than 30 years

Wait a minute I just replayed last night and got blinded by said spotlight!

The demo grayer faded city colors look much better. The lightning also. Final version feels unnatural.

Dude has brain tumor you think xbox playstation and pc is same? Every trailer everything is made in pc, it looks nice, lots of details etc like wow. Than they release video and stamp it with xbox and playstation. What they do is remove or lower quality untill it reache needed stats. I will give you example all playstation 5 is less size than pc video card. While in playstation and xbox if you open its small card. rads are small, wenting is not something good, actually bad

I finally played and finished the game, I enjoyed it, but man it still hurts to see all that was cut out. I wouldnt blame anyone for saying that CD Projekt didnt deliver their promises.

retail looks way better

For once I can say the real gameplay looks way better than an e3 reveal lol.

I would rather play the E3 demo

the character creation screen was way better before, the rest is better now

I actually like the visuals of the 2018 Reveal better than the refined look given in Retail. Life doesn't appear in high definition to our eyes, and I really felt the reveal graphics seemed more lifelike than the retail High Definition of a "Video Game" created scene that we revceived in Retail. Sure they added a few things in retail that wern't there in Reveal, but they also removed some things as well. I would have preferred that it stayed blurry in the somewhat distance and only in full high def when very close to us. A detail that other games do better, sure, but this feature even in other games still has a tough time getting which things should be blurry and which things should be clean and HD so it's a system still being worked on, but I just absolutely hate how we today have all games done in such a HD way that doesn't even give a "Realistic" view of things, just what we call realistic, which couldn't be any further from real! Just my two cents!

the only game improved instead of falling down in the trashcan, so sorry for the devs for all the mess the community put them through.

They should have focused less on graphics and more on QC and gameplay.

Is that rick ross in the thumbnail

I’m mad that game company do this almost half of their E3 is better than their retail

Holy sh the demo car from the hood start iwas way better

I recently started playing witcher 3 in my somewhat low end laptop at work and the thing is just not well optimised. The red engine is just not it. I ran into bugs and glitches very frequently. The same laptop runs spider-man remastered pretty nicely without any bugs and glitches whatsoever and even the frame rate I was getting surprised me. I honestly think it's good they ditched the red engine, its just way too much work for them instead of using something like unreal engine which would make their work much easier.

Basically the looks aren’t the issue, the gameplay and story is

This the reason why i don’t buy these games no more

Honestly I will NEVER buy from GOG again. They tried at the start of the return frame to deny people's returns for this game when it was released a complete bugged mess. I had to fight HARD and it took MONTHS to get a refund. Their customer support is downright terrible. Go anywhere but GOG.

This just reminds me of a render you work on and then go to your friends for advice on what to change or add.

Still not interested in buying

Wow this game nearly killed the largest game company in Europe.

sfx experienced a decrease in quality and i'd say the hud as well but all other factors of this new version was a plus

The shittest thing about Cyberpunk is that you need a ton of ammo to kill only one guy. What a trash game.

a bullet time dash woulda been cool

for how it ran at launch it shouldve looked exactly like the E3 demo haha

all things consider the game looks ALOT better, its just ashame they got a lil too ambitious with the features and their engine was so horribly optimized

Almost 2 years late, but personally I think overall the version we got on release obviously looks and sounds far better yet there are certain details in the reveal that I wish made it into the final build. At the start of the hallway scene when T Bug calls for example. In the reveal you can clearly see her laying down in her netrunning chair and she appears to be fully animated. That's a very nice touch considering that phone calls in the final build, when you can see an animated head that is, it's pretty generic instead of being contextually appropriate.

Honestly retail dex looks much better

Only this first mission is worth to play , rest of the game is even worse than GTA 4 and much much worse than RDR2
