The breakout success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt made it clear that Polish games studio CD Projekt knows how to throw together a great RPG. That's one of the main reasons why there's so much buzz surrounding Cyberpunk 2077, the studio's upcoming sci-fi role playing game. However, unlike The Witcher series, Cyberpunk 2077 plays out from a first-person perspective, a notion that has rubbed some players the wrong way. As it turns out, the studio is "very aware" of players who don't like first-person viewpoints, to which the crew has a few thoughts.
First and foremost, CD Projekt will not be changing from a first-person perspective in Cyberpunk 2077. Speaking to DualShockers at Gamescom 2018, Quest Designer Patrick Mills stated bluntly that the developer fully intends to stick with a first-person viewpoint.
"We are firm in that decision," Mills said. "However, we’re very aware that a lot of people don’t like first-person, and there is a small number of people who can’t play first-person for a variety of reasons."
Instead of trying to change a major component of the game to appease a few vocal outliers, CD Projekt is instead looking into creating or implementing various options that will help alleviate player's discomforts. We don't exactly know what those options may be, but we do know that the team wants to make sure the game will be open and accessible to as many players as possible.
We're still eagerly awaiting more details regarding Cyberpunk 2077, most specifically any kind of release date or release window. However, players who are looking to learn more about CD Projekt's latest can check out some of the fresh details featured in the game's recently published 48-minute gameplay demo.
