I really hope and pray that CDPR listens to the community heavily focuses on immersion and roleplay with the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.

Just my opinion, but I actually think it does fairly well with immersion, though I understand the sentiment completely. My gripe is the "illusion of choice" factor it has, where the majority of choices in the game have no actual impact beyond a line or two of dialogue. I hope for more missions like "The Pickup" in the early game, where there are multiple branches that are vastly different, with different possible rewards, etc, and each route has effects on later missions in the game depending on how you handled it.

[@ALexJelly]

Waterfall vs Agile I'm a dev (not CDPR employee) and I can tell you this: there's multiple types of Agile development and each house has their own rules, kindda like playing Uno. Hopefully it will turn out ok and their agile 'house rules' are ok. You cannot assume that just because Phantom Liberty turned out ok, Orion will turn out ok as well because they're working agile. The real world does not work out that way. They don't have an existing platform for Orion like they had for Phantom Liberty. (platform = existing vanilla C2077), because they don't have an existing platform, because they are implementing on a brand new engine (for them, they didn't work in UE5 before) things can still go south. Sure, because of Agile, they have more flexibility than with Waterfall, they can turn around and iterate on things that go south, but make no mistake: things can and usually DO go south even with Agile. It's its own can of worms. What I mean by this whole comment, so TLDR: Agile is not the new Jesus Christ, don't automatically think that Agile will solve everything, because it won't. I believe it's better than Waterfall but, again, it's not the new sliced bread, it has its problems as well. Search "problems with waterfall" and "problems with agile", I won't write an entire novel in the comments, thanks!

[@noderoad]

Right, I’m a PO and agile means so many things in different companies. So I’m big forward projects, we can get stuff out quicker in Agile, but I not think it’ll have an impact on say, an earlier release date for a game.

[@Cepeleon]

I am just surprised that they are only just now adopting Agile, its been in the industry for years

[@Slitheringpeanut]

Given how much a debacle CP2077 and that the original crew that created the engine (Hence why CDPR had to literally abandon all it's plans for Cyberpunk support) ran for the hills as fast as they could... Don't expect much.

[@aj0413_]

This, but also I’ll say that in my experience Agile can actually make things take longer depending on the ‘house rules’ lol It’s basically just a buzzword at this point to me

[@aarrcchhoonntt]

@@aj0413_ You're not wrong. But universally, in the area of software development, AGILE means you get more productivity out of the same manhour. BDUF doesn't work. No matter who you hire, a human brain is simply an insufficient tool to anticipate every interaction, every emergent property. For something as complex as an open world video game, any complete design is necessarily so low level it's functionally code. And as all code, it has bugs. Which you won't see until you run it. Software has grown to the point where iterative development is not optional anymore, not until we somehow make our brains bigger.

Which will be a way to involve so many different elements of Night City.. Then have Mr Blue Eyes in each episode hidden, just watching.. .. which leads to the conspiracy of certain powerful & wealthy individuals creating those psychos- using them as pieces to forward their own agenda.

@@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199 It's just assets, It's stuff like the animations and the lighting system that might be tricky, but who knows.

@@vilenskydmitry San Andreas and GTA5 take place in the same city, GTA5 only expanded on it. If they're trying to expand the existing lore of Cyberpunk, changing the city layout is the worst thing they can do, unless it doesn't take place at the same time

[@ssdd440]

Cyberpunk Orion wishlist: - Improved Role Playing Mechanics (Purchasing more stuff over the internet or through interactive ads, having a back story or character that truly immerses you in the role, more meaningful interactions with factions or individuals based on the role you choose to play). - Flying Cars/Metro System - Dense vertical city with plenty of activities. (At least 40% of buildings should be accessible at all times not just for quests - Clubbing, Casinos, Sports etc). - More quests/activities with side characters (Hiring individuals you come across to be apart of your crew, putting them to use to earn cash, going on missions with them)

[@theinkysquid7661]

One thing I’d of liked in the role playing aspect is the option to join gangs as a street kid, or choose your corp as a corpo, would love to have been able to do a maelstrom psycho/berserker build. Or side with another corp down the line after being betrayed by your initial choice

[@LS-tk7hp]

@@ssdd440 exactly! but its important to keep in mind that CDPR likes to go the story way and thats more important for me- while its normal to want the next game to be improved its funny because we take the things the first game delivered for granted even tho its clearly not so they have to do everything they did right with cyberpunk again and then add the stuff youve listed which are the features that are lacking in cyberpunk 2077. im really hyped tho because Unreal Engine 5 is looking mad good and to see a skilled studio like cdpr using it might leave an insane end result to the point where im now more hyped for project orion than anything else, even TES VI (but thats cause bethesdas track record has been nosediving and CDPR actually makes the decisions bethesda shouldve went with a long time ago like abandoning their engine in favor of a more versatile one and by now UE5 is so packed its hard to compete with, or also developing more than one major title at a time i.e. 2 witcher games+project orion+early stages of project hadar vs bethesda with TES VI)

Totally agree. PVP shooting is the absolute antithesis of role playing. They are completely different game styles and do not work together. Especially in a game with so much time dilation. It would be a waste of resources that should be focused on building on what they have, not adding an entirely new experience on top. There are plenty of multiplayer games, go play one of them.

[@OniFeez]

As someone who actually works in the IT industry (specifically development of software), it's actually fairly rare to work purely in an agile method (as much as it is in waterfall). Some things you just can't test at iteration until later, depending on how you work your dependencies etc (your gun example I think is a pretty bad example I think as it is performed in a vacuum, unless you test against many weapons of its type, how do you know if it fires 'too fast' or 'too slow', although you do kinda absolve yourself if you get your customer (say, project manager or product owner) to sign off on it, you can still run into the same issue down the track as the game becomes more feature rich aka complete). It's also much harder to work in agile if you've also never done it before. The best thing about agile though is if some sort of scope change happens (for example, management suddenly decides to develop for primarily the PS8 or something) than you can arguably pivot much easier, but you know... it's still a large amount of work asset wise (and possibly programming in case resource management needs to change). Another issue is that documentation tends to get even worse in Agile methodologies in my experience, but luckily they are using 3rd party software in Unreal, so maybe they won't have to worry about this as much given that ideally Epic has done this much better. I think a better example of Agile development is this: You have an AI controlled Bot in a room that you want to test against the player character. The first iteration is testing that the Bot recognizes the player, the second iteration might be that the bot fires at the player, the third iteration might be that the bot looks for cover from the player, the fourth iteration might be that the bot chooses from cover options, the fifth might be that the bot now has to interact with an active player who is also moving and shooting, the sixth iteration is that there are now two bots against the player, the seventh iteration might be that the two bots share information between each other and so on and so on as the development continues and more optimized code comes online (although the core engine of unreal is pretty well optimized by now; Epic of course do release more versions and I imagine CDPR would have a closer development relationship with them given that perhaps money has probably already exchanged hands with some sort of licensing/support agreement) I guess my point is; Agile is hardly this wondrous mechanism that will automatically make the game more likely to come out on time (or on budget). Software Development is notoriously bad at keeping its own timeframes, whether it's games or anything else of some degree of complexity. I wish them luck though, but honestly I'm not sure I will dive into its sequel given that I was ultimately pretty dissatisfied with the ending(s) of both the game and Phantom Liberty.

[@jamescrouchet1283]

It's hard to imagine anyone doing a project much larger than "Hello World!" with waterfall nowadays. Agile gets something minimally functional in alpha much more quickly and then tests the product as more functionality is being developed. That allows them to quickly discard ideas or functionality that doesn't work or isn't right for the game. It also lets them build a large suite of automated tests that cover every past issue the game had so they can quickly confirm they did not re-introduce a problem they thought was cured, or break existing infrastructure. That allows game testers to concentrate on the new content and functionality which is being added at each iteration of the agile development cycle. The bottom line is developers and testers can work in manageable sized chunks so less fall through the cracks, and there will be far fewer zero-day code bugs and other issues. Assuming agile is done right. Like anything else, you can screw it up.

Good to see you talk about some project management stuffs, waterfall and agile

[@D2SProductions]

There's good and bad about using servers for multiplayer in a game. Some of the old-school multiplayer games didn't have dedicated multiplayer servers, instead, they had server/client software built into the game so that the person hosting the game would be running the server version of the game and their friends would join their game, and automatically connect to their server, do it this way save the developer in server costs, which mean no excuse to charge players to play the online version of the game. The drawback to the server/client system being built into the game is connection is completely dependent on the host's internet connection, it's also more difficult to ensure players aren't using cheats, but if the host has a good internet connection there wouldn't be as much issue with lag from running the game on a main server and having to keep thousands if not millions of players synced with the game, I run into this issue often in a lot of MMOs where I get lag from the server because though the game is running on my PC it's also running on the main server so what I actually do in my game doesn't count, my inputs are sent to the server, then the server distributes my inputs to everyone else in my session instance, including back to myself and some times the main server gets bogged down doing this for thousands or millions of players, and you get a, "rubber banding effect," where suddenly your character springs back to where they were several seconds ago. I don't recall, "rubber banding," happening much under the client/server old-school method of online multiplayer, but it happens a lot with the main server method. The drawbacks to the old-school client/server method is you can't easily ensure players aren't using cheats, and you can't have as many people in the same session instance, so the game would just be multiplayer not massive multiplayer. I'm working on some game development myself and plan on using the old-school client/server method to not only save myself money on buying expensive gaming servers, but also ensure the game runs smoother for a group of friends who want to play instead of them rubber banding often because of main server lag. Star Trek Online's servers are setup to only allow up to 30 players per session instance and it still lags out often and gets rubber banding all the time.

[@daisyphreekshow2197]

Thanks for coming in clutch and explaining servers! I used to get that “rubber banding” effect while playing multiplayer games sometimes but couldn’t put together why. An age old problem finally solved

I'd just like something like a creation engine, so we can make our own missions and stories set in night city.

[@mycelia_ow]

Creation Kit* and yeah, it was a mini engine for modders. It's the best mod support you can get, nothing comes close to it and is rarely seen in the industry. CDPR might deliver that someday.

[@kiume_]

Getting the whole thing done in the rough first and then evenly improving it until it's in its full detail is one of the basic rules of creating stuff. This could work

[@user-yl7nz8zo4m]

My biggest wish is that they add better movement and alow us to use the monowire to swign or grapple around. Mantis blades used to climb on walls . Gorilla arms to trow barrels on enemies or too launch yourself

[@rocketslime4878]

You can run and shove with the arms actually it and it gives too thick down

[@rocketslime4878]

Also no offense the monowire wouldn't have the reach or strength to do what you described maybe a grappling hook or something maybe

Should be easy to do in the sequel, even giving us third person this time now that it's in Unreal Engine 5. 2077 itself would have gotten way more support if not for them ditching their engine.

[@dboiiiii1]

Agreed. People aren’t thinking straight. Imagine 2-3 years minimum before next witcher game, prolly 2026/2027. Then 2 giant dlcs for that, and then a year after the last before next cyberpunk. 2029 earliest

[@aneural]

I hope that's not true, I'd like to imagine since cyberpunk 2077 is already massive, they reuse some assets, at least the ones that aren't unique to the world itself like roads or trees etc, also since this isn't a new game concept maybe their experience and comprehensive game design language will ease or speed up development. It shouldn't take 6 years to make the sequel that's just inhumane.

[@boost800]

yea definitely a good 5 years from now at least

[@LMacNeill]

@@aneural Unfortunately, because they're switching game engines from Red Engine to Unreal Engine 5, there is nothing that is reusable from the current game.

[@mycelia_ow]

@@dboiiiii1 They're doing parallel development, Orion will go into full production before TW4 is even close to release. This is the entire reason they opened a new studio dedicated to this franchise lol. More like 2027/28

[@TermiMurasaki]

it may also be that Agile helped them speed things up with PL because the base was already built with Cyberpunk, so it could take the same/longer for a whole new game to be developed in that style but then adding features and DLCs might come faster

[@russdoesstuff]

8:15 as someone who has done some PM work. This is a fun nugget to add in there. While Waterfall is good for somethings, like FULL GAME launches IMO, the DLCs being Agile is a good call.

[@ccallaghan84]

Agile is only going to benefit them if they have proper code structure. if they tightly couple a lot of functions and features, then it's going to create issues when one sprint goes and makes a change to an object that then trickles down to all its dependent objects.

[@swiftyunknown]

I need NG+ for this game

[@sillylittlesheepjax6009]

Ppl forget that Cyberpunk TV SHOW is coming (maybe new anime too). They will for sure use that time to add some big patch for the game. Same like they did with Edgerunners.

[@melancholymelon5316]

I hope that Orion takes the same map of Night City and add loads more unique interiors, so much potential going forward.

[@yer251627]

Maybe they can mode the whole game where you can start from the very beginning, street gang low lvl, corp intern, nomad outside the city.

[@user-cu8qt7cn8o]

The two new writers are concerning and makes me think Orion will be nothing like Cyberpunk 2077. Lets face it we have already heard from the CEO of the company working on the Witcher remake that they will be removing outdated content, we all know what that means, coupled with it being developed in American and I think peak CDPR Cyberpunk has come and gone. Wish they would just make a second story expansion.

[@sillylittlesheepjax6009]

They had to add new writers though. Now they develop two games and Witcher gets most of old team. Cyberpunk is made by new american studio they need to develop still

[@simongigney2138]

Same. Now they fixed this game it would be alot more preferable to make more expansions. There's loads to do with gangs an corps. It's so stupid. Why not atleast allow a mod system like what was done with fallout 4. That alone made it huge. Are they so daft not too do that here ffs.

[@TheFlyWahine]

They cant say a flat no we are done due to the investors and those variants. So the "maby in in the future" dont really meran anything. Basicly means there done. You can tell that a video game dev is lying because there mouth is moving and words are coming out of it.

[@anthonyschlott916]

Odd. I do the thing with the words and the mouth all the time. XDD

[@shadowlord9607]

One thing I am hoping for in Cyberpunk: Orion is the added feature of a much deeper customization system for the main character. As while Cyberware and some features were improved compared to launch, I still feel we should’ve been able to make our own character that can be as diverse as the cast in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Choosing Cyberware and appearance modifications befitting of a brawler, Netrunner, sniper class etc. And heck with such upgrades and modifications being specifically designed for a single class you build your character to be throughout the course of the game. Not to mention getting cosmetic cyberware like the gold or silver skin mods we saw some characters use or be as wild as some of the cyberware seen by other factions in the game. Again maybe it can be so, or maybe not. But I am still really hoping to see a more deeper customization system added in the sequel.

[@helciooliveirajunior7114]

What about a new dlc. Crystal Palace, and along the Journey force to face "The Angels". It would be amazing.

While I don't expect to this extent I could see the remote possibility that they do what Undeadlabs is doing. Undeadlabs made State of decay 1 and 2 and while they are working on State of decay 3 they are actually adding new features to state of decay 2 as essentially a test bed for players to experience it and give feedback. They don't add every single thing coming to state of decay 3 into state of decay 2 but state of decay 2's updates for the past couple years has been adding in new features slowly and getting feedback in the community and making a more advanced tuned version for their sequel.

Not a big fan of PVP but I do hope they make multiplayer happen. I love walking around Night City and enjoying the views there but sometimes it just feels lonely.

[@NF-pk5mo]

I think a great implementation of multiplayer in a cyberpunk RPG could be this: we could have basic mission co-op mode as we're used to with destiny and borderlands but this will not be popular with everyone. For the pvpers, they could introduce operations. Now, operations could be a basic tdm or FFA arena mode, or it could be MUCH more. Not exactly like GTA heists, although that would be fun as a co op mode, but operations could have one set of mercs as a defending team and another as attacking. The defenders must use all their hacks and resources to stop the attackers from stealing data from their mainframe, like many a mission in cyberpunk 2077 where you're tasked with breaking into a base to steal stuff. Only this time, you have to fight players along side a small platoon of ai goons.

They could also flavor the PVP game modes as gang wars or even the corporate wars either when in full swing or as secret operations between special forces

The first principal of Agile is "Have a WORKING product." Agile is a proven strategy as the game seamlessly integrated and worked perfectly in Phantom Liberty! I am almost 1000 hours in to 2077... A "greatest game of its generation" IMO.

[@tobywessling1282]

A bit of a systems design nerd moment, but it's really good to hear they're moving from an outdated waterfall model to an agile model. It really helps optimize the work flow because in the waterfall model, once you move on to the next stage of development if anything went wrong in previous stages it drastically affects later stages. In an agile model, if something goes wrong in one stage, it can be fixed on the next cycle relatively quickly without having to backtrack very much.

[@monochromaticspider]

That's not really how it tends to work in practice, in my experience. It's good to get away from the Waterfall because of how stiff it is. There's a tendency in waterfall projects that you do things because that's what the plan says and the plan is the plan is the plan. In an agile approach, the center of the project should always be working software, so hopefully this means that a working prototype is ceated very early and then consistently improved until everything is where it should be. But take a look at Starfield. That game was also developed in an agile way, but the end result wasn't very good. Why? Because coordination was minimal, overall project goals were vague, and a bunch of different teams were basically just doing whatever with their little aspect of the game. All the different components work in isolation, but none of them really work together all that well, and it's somewhat hard to say that any of the components are really, truly fun. And note that another risk is that you're either not iterating problems thoroughly enough, not being allowed enough time to redo things developed in a hurry to get a prototype working, or you're forced to develop blind because nobody has a clue what the desired end goal of the project is going to be. And of course there's also the habitual misunderstanding of "sprint". Some people out there think it should be taken literally, unfortunately.
