Will they go back and bring back all cut content?

[TheFibrewire]

so the MC with Jackie going around city and doing various jobs, dancing was clearly made to be playable section but they just turned into a video and called it a day due to rushed development. When will this game ever bring back all those sections playable?

I do believe the origin options had a very significant impact moving down the storyline. Is it even possible to make those changes in the game now? I do understand it might be not worth it from a business standpoint but man only wish this game could achieve the things they promised and don't think there will be another game with such calibre to come out in recent times.

thanks

No, as far what CDPR said, no more content from the dev team. They had to set forth the next journey into the sequel of both Cyberpunk and Witcher.

It would not surprise me if some cut content leaked out in the years we spend waiting for Cyberpunk Orion to appear. Maybe not finished off by CDPR, but the modding community leaders, given a modding kit and the raw data/footage could do something with it.

This would be a great strategy for keep CP77 'alive' for the next 4-5 years or so.

Hey, I could be wrong...probably am.

Never seen a montage before? The little scene between the lifepath and game proper does not strike me as something that would have been planned to be more fleshed out.

I'm never quite certain what people mean by 'cut content'. Like Jackie was always a character who was there purely to push V through the prologue and into the main story, there wasn't some significant thing missing, it was never intended to be made and so it wasn't.

There's stuff which has been datamined, on top of what devs have said themselves, but can't talk about that on here. In any case, they were largely things which were either dropped to do something else instead (eg one main storyline through the game got totally changed fairly late on) or dropped so resources could be used on something else (eg the initial experiments with a mass transit system the player could use).

Whatever you think might be hidden there, it's very unlikely CDPR are going to be returning to this game now.

Not so "clearly" given that....it wasn't.

And, no. They're done with CP2077.

cam make more money from a new game, the cut stuff will most likely be actuated into the new game in some way, you want more cyberpunk now - look towards mods, other other games to keep you busy I suggest Shaodwrun Returns - rpg game.

CP2077 was inspired by a tabletop game. That's what a lot of homebrew tabletop campaigns do: If the players miss something or the GM decided something didn't quite fit and skipped something, it goes into a "maybe later" file that the GM will revisit in a future campaign.

So, don't fret. Cut content now doesn't mean cut content forever.

The Jackie section is a montage; not cut content. Literally have no idea where you got the idea that it’s meant to be playable from.

Even if it was playable, forcing the player to play through these generic gigs with Jackie would massively bloat the prologue, which some people already complain that it’s too long and can’t be skipped.

Every game has cut content. This game is no different. It goes without saying that not every idea or concept that gets put forth will make it into the final retail product. It’s just a fact that you have to accept (not like anyone has a choice anyway).

no, they're done.

On nexusmods some modders restored cut content scenes from the E3 gameplay.
But, the problem is that these mods have been released 2 years ago and have never been updated since then.
A shame because they really added some interesting details to the general atmosphere.

Or, ya know, they just made a cutscene.

I guess by the same logic there are huge cut parts of all games ever made with cutscenes, ever, due to rushed development.

There was a mod which kind of put wall running back into the game - if that's what you mean (maybe it got improved from a proof of concept but maybe not from what you say).

Thing to that though is that wall running was ditched as an idea because it caused so many problems with what they were trying to do with level design and the open world (that's according to Miles Tost who was doing the level design). Which is part and parcel of game dev - no-one goes chasing after the Mass Effect Andromeda planet procedural generation, for instance. (They ditched that because it frequently didn't work and produced dross when it did.)

You guys that say it wasnt planned content do know they openly said they cut a fair bit out to shorten the game because people complained the witcher 3 was way to long right? and if it was not planned to let you have time with jackie before the big heist.... then why is it the story in the game now literally has you do 2 things with jackie and then HEIST!!!! where he dies and your suppose to feel bad but you barely know him

[Oneblock]

Inferring a thing is not a promise. Read what you wrote.

No actually I was speaking of in-game scenes that got cut ouf for "strange reasons".
for example, you know when you wait with Jacky to take out the 2 scavs talking during the sandra dorsett mission ?
Actually these 2 scavs where not only talking in the E3 but they were pushing a man's scavenged body on a weehlchair.
This passage has been restored and is still available on nexusmods, but since it has not been update, it doesn't work anymore.
