Cyberpunk 2077 Graphics Comparison - E3 2018 vs Release vs Update 2.0

One thing. Just one.
Talking from a first hand interaction with two haters.

"I was expecting yhe streets to be overcrowded with peds like the gameplay trailer"

But the two were playing on the lowest settings with the least density.

What the fuck is this music. The same 25 seconds looping over and over again with the annoying beep. The most annoying beep I've heard in my life. Have to watch this muted.

why does the e3 2018 looks much better than the ones we have now?

How lucky I am to have started playing Cyberpunk after all the patches. Compared to the older versions and the E3 version, the game now has improved lighting and richer colors. It really looks amazing, really top-notch.

There really weren't any dramatic graphical improvements from 1.63 to 2.0 the drastic changes were mostly to gameplay, Really stupid things like enemy level scaling because CDRR apparently never played Oblivion to understand why that sucks and a gutting of the RPG elements oh and really stupid stuff like stamina being tied to shooting and a cyberware limit

Bought the game day one on PC. Played up until "tutorial" and decided to procrastinate up until now. Played again 1 week ago and almost done with the campaign. There are still some bugs but the overall gameplay and open world experience is very enjoyable. Will definitely grab the DLC!

you actively make the gameplay look worse in released versions of the game compared to e3 because you suck at aiming

I had got this game pre release cuz I was so hyped. But when I played it, I was so disappointed. Couldn't believe its the same developers that made Witcher series. I uninstalled it and came back to it in Jun 24 with all that Phantom Liberty stuff all ready to go and boy have I clocked 800 hours in this already. Yup. That's the CDPR I was hyped about. Made mistakes but what a way to go. It takes guts to admit that you messed up and even more balls to actually rectify those mistakes and make a huge come back. This one goes in my top tier games along with RDR2, Witcher 3, Ghost of Tsushima, GOW.

Apart from the bad launch, CDPR delievered well.

Still 0 features from the e3 version tho
Lots of cut content too

nearly the same

I got the game on the day of release on PS4 that was a doozy of a ride. But I told myself not to get a refund I even bought for my PC which ran the game with medium settings. Still couldnt play told myself to wait until I got a ps5. Did that got a ps5 then I bought the DLC and let me tell you. I am enjoying this game so much I dont even want to finish it.

Is the 2.0 update footage with or w/o RT?

Never cared much for graphics. To me, the estethic of e3 gameplay looks way better.

Technically e3 is 2.0. They released a wrong/diffrrent build at launch

I like the 2.0 style at most, but what I absolutely don’t like is that it’s too much sunny and it’s even too bright, they should do most time grey, rainy, fog, sandstorms and some more special storms

I was high the other night and got lost in the city

I'm in love with this game!

The game is definitely better now graphically, but the green tint really kind of damages the thematic coloring and lighting. Removing it with Reshade makes it look 10x better

I’ve been playing since it first came out and it was always good. The folks who struggled chose to play it on far too outdated tech like Xbox One/PS4. Consoles, mind you, that the developers should’ve never have released it on in the first place but felt pressured to because the next gen was still being phased in at the time. When I saw the E3 demos back in 2020 I never once had the thought cross my mind to buy it for my old console because it was obvious a game that graphically impressive would inevitably run like shit on it.

Glad I started playing about a month ago, loved the game, simply was emotional man.

wich song did you use it in background? sounds like some dark ambient

DeShone looks better in 2018. Look at the skin on his arm

even though e3 looks less detailed, the lighting looks more natural

I played after a few major patches and I beat the game before on the sun ending where you raid saka tower by yourself with johnny and it was easy as cake with the right build before the new skill tree system

console version 🤡

I'm still pissed that they removed 3d person cutscenes

comparing console version in the mix ... nah not fair, they suck

this game sucks in my opinion it could have been such a masterpiece but the story is fucked and too short
v: wow my life is fucking awesome!
doc: you are going to die in two weeks!

Upgraded to RTX 4090 a month ago and replaying with everything on max including Path tracing and it looks like heaven now (Never dips below 95 FPS). I will never stop playing this game

I can't believe I managed to hobble through Cyberpunk on my PS4 Pro. On my second playthrough on the PS5 and I am in heaven.

E3 is great

Honestly they should've kept the 3rd person cutscenes

man whoever is playing in the release and 2.0 footage is just not a gamer. my unborn kid has better aim lol

Mejoro a mejor el juego en vez de que hubiera sido, al contrario, eso no se ve todos los días.

E3 looks the best. I has its own unique vibe, an athmosphere , soft lighting . They ruined it afterwards with patches.

Did you use a PS4 version release date to compare against the E3 version? Your release date version looks very blurry.

I'm glad that I play for the 1st time something like 6 months ago, with all patched and expansion. Game is a blast and still TOP in the gaming industry IMHO.

I started from release I'm surprised I never noticed the amount of hard work they put into 2.0

2.0 is super

Only thing that looks notably better in my eyes is the ambient occlusion on the release compared to 2.0

It's weird that the distance to the door compared to the other doors keeps changing. 39 meters away, 1241 is in sight, 39 meters away, doors beside you, 35 meters away, 1241 is now ahead of you.

Делать обзор шутера на консоли 💀

Worst song ever

If only V2.0 was a release version, it would be banger and best game of decade. I really don't understand why CD Project released unstable and uncompleted version, instead of taking more time to get all work done...

Nothing beats the 2018 version, no amount of BS PT or RT. 2018 is the goat and retail is HEAVLY downgraded.

cyberpunk understand itself potential and start to leave ps4 behide

e3 2018 is more realistic 2.0 lighting is bad
