Cars are so slow

[Specijalac Iz Šumskog Zavičaja]

I checked now on google, the speedometer is in kilometers per hour and not miles per hour. How a Rayfield Caliburn, the fastest car in night city, powered with a 1600hp engine, only achieve 211km/h, and goes from 0-100 in about 7 seconds ? This is supposed to be right? So todays cars are much faster than in Cyberpunk, literally a VW Golf 6 is faster than a Cyberpunk hypercar.

Yeah, CDPR did a poor job representing vehicle movement, and representing the speed of vehicles. Especially if you compare it to other games with similar driving mechanics.

Unfortunately yes but no biggie. I have a fix for that though, at least on my end. I'm going to treat the speedometer as a kph estimate instead of a mph estimate.

It doesn't actually fix anything, but it will at least make me feel as though the cars are running closer to the sense of speed of racing games that I play.


fixed

It is an issue if you look at it from realistic perspective

No, it's an issue if you look at it from your "realistic" perspective. Because you are choosing which aspects you believe should be more "realistic", based on your personal values and subjective preferences. Video games, by the very nature of the medium, constantly demand suspension of disbelief, all the time, in many aspects and features and mechanics. It's baked into the format, by necessity, because video games are extremely broad interpretations of tropes and life experiences filtered down to something you can have fun with by pressing a few buttons.

If not a lot of people are mentioning it it does not mean its not an issue which should be fixed in order for this game to be immersive realistic game like they told us its going to be

But it does mean that it's not inherently in need of "fixing", or even necessarily broken. There is no "should" in creative decisions for entertainment media.
And for me (and many others), the game is as immersive as it was touted to be. See, what makes a game immersive can not be anything but subjective, because we play games in different ways and have different experiences and are impressed or disappointed by different things.

and this isnt a small issue, cars are very important in this game and they are very slow.

It's not a small issue for you. For me, it's not an issue at all. I never got the impression that the cars were too slow, not even a little. Ironically, I actually found the driving to be significantly more realistic than the arcade-style driving found in GTA games. I play with a controller, and I was surprised by how the vehicles have more weight and inertia compared to many games, how I had to slow down well before turns and pay attention to my mass as I would in real life. It absolutely took some getting used to, but it added to my immersion. See, we have different perspectives shaped by different values and preferences and experiences.

There is no possible way i can defend a game that is happening in 2077 and has no cars that can reach speed over 330km h.

Nobody's asking you to. It's fine that the game has aspects you don't like.

Are you even playing the game?

I mean why go and google something that would take just seconds to see for yourself by playing. Every speedometer that I have seen in the game is labeled MPH

Not sure I understand nitpicking a video game to death. So far no game I have ever played represents real life very well except a few hardcore flight and racing sims that I own and even then its questionable. And really what is the point? If I am bound and determined to be that unhappy with a video game I just move on to another one or I stop playing all together and go for a hike or something.

About cars not going above 400 km/h, have you considered that they may just be electronically limited, just like many cars that go at very high speeds today? NC may be a jungle, but it still has laws and regulations.

I said 330 km/h , huge difference, and there are many cars today that can go over 400 km/h

Because I haven't seen a speedometer in any of the cars in first person

Then you don't have any car knowledge if you think they should function like this in 2077. What else are you going to defend all the bugs in the game where you fall from the map into space?

There's only a few cars today that can go over 400 out of the box and those that do have electronic limitations soon after 400. You can always remove limitations and whatnot but tweaking cars is not possible in this game. So if NC enforces limitations at around 330 and you can't tweak cars, that's what you get. The city is small it wouldn't be surprising.

I'd say there are over 20 cars today that can go over 420 km/h , there are even some that reach 540 km/h . You might be right about the limitations although why would NC put limitations on cars when they can't even control 40% of the city because of the mafia.

And I'm not only talking about electric cars, I'm also talking about fuel powered cars that can only reach a max speed of 160 km/h which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous for a car today not talking about year 2077...

[Titan Awaken]

Yeah the limiting factor is performance.

Not talking about car performance, I mean actual game performance as in framerate, and asset load times.

Even if you found a way to remove the speed cap and you’ll probably wish you hadn’t because of the stutters and framerate/frametime drops.

The game has also got to run on base PS4 and Xbox One remember?

You need to look again then. the cars have speedometers and yes when you are in first person you can indeed see them. A few are obscured by the steering wheel but they are indeed still there.

Honestly though still sounds like nitpicking to me but if thats whats really important to you then whatever floats your boat I guess.

Can you link to one? Because all I could see were experimental bullet-style "cars", nothing you can buy. There aren't cars like that in the game. And it has to be a car you can buy, not a car specially geared to break records. I don't think consumer cars have gone that far yet but I'd be happy to be wrong about that.

Sh.it I misread it somewhere my bad, but Bugatti Chiron can reach a top speed of 500 kmh , not 540

I said even if its in mph its still slow.
