After the launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, hardly anyone would argue against the idea that CD Projekt RED had set a new benchmark in terms of open-world, action RPGs. Fallout 4 hit store shelves several months thereafter, but arguably felt a little dated by comparison. Since then, it seems no other title in the genre has quite reached the bar set by CD Projekt in Geralt?s final adventure. The studio has apparently noticed something similar, and feels more at competition within itself in the lead up to Cyberpunk 2077.
Level Designer Max Pears expressed this notion in an interview for EDGE Magazine?s September 2020 issue. The developer made it clear his comments weren?t meant as a slight to other developers, though. He told the publication,
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
