CD Projekt Red is looking into the possibility of removing epilepsy triggers from _Cyberpunk 2077 _ . CD Projekt Red's new open-world game has been one of the most anticipated titles in the industry for a good eight years now, and after numerous delays, fans are finally ready for its December 10th release later this week. Reviews of the game are coming in, and critics seem to have largely deemed it to be worth the wa

The question of accessibility in video games is a long process, and an important one. No one deserves to threaten their health and safety to play a video game because of forces outside their own control. Unfortunately, advocates for safer and better options have an uphill battle ahead of them, due not only to the complex nature of the issue but to blatant insensitivity. For instance, after her epilepsy PSA was published, Ruppert began receiving videos designed to trigger her epilepsy from trolls masquerading as sympathetic fellow sufferers. This kind of behavior is abhorrent and, tragically, it's all too common in the video game commun

CD Projekt Red posted a tweet displaying a map of global release times for PC and Stadia players. The PC release is centered on December 10, 12 AM GMT. This means that players in the eastern United States can play on December 9, 7 PM EST; for those on the West Coast, Cyberpunk 2077 Beginner Guide|Https://Cyberpunk2077Fans.Com/ 2077 will unlock at 4 PM PST. Console users will see their game unlock at midnight local time, meaning that American console players will have to wait a few hours longer than their PC counterparts, and vice versa for gamers in Oceania and A

Cyberpunk 2077 is based off a series of table-top role-playing games, set in the neon-infused dystopia of Night City. Players create their own character, explore the city, and tackle quests with great rewards and severe consequences for the choices they make. It is a massive game, with one CDPR developer claiming to have amassed a 1 75-hour and counting runtime , which in turn results in a very large file size. With the day one patch alone clocking in at 43GB , those who have pre-ordered the game are eager to pre-load the game so they can prowl the streets of Night City as soon as possible. The hype is so high that CD Projekt Red has specified down to the hour when players across the globe can do jump into its latest (and, hopefully, greatest) RPG advent

The journalist who warned players of epileptic seizure risks in _Cyberpunk 2077 _ has received dozens of videos camouflaged as support that are actually capable of inducing photosensitivity triggers. Most, if not all, games feature seizure warnings that pop up in-game ahead of the main menu screen. However, players with epilepsy should be extra wary of the Braindance segments and other design choices featured in CD Projekt RED's forthcoming role-playing ti

Now that fans are in the most recent final stretch leading to the game's release, they're surely starting to get impatient. The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account has taken to stoking these fans anticipation online. Earlier today the account published a brief voice clip, apparently from the protagonist of the game, informing listeners that she's received word of a big job coming up that she will need help with. This message certainly fits with the game's heavy themes of violence and crime , but the nature of this job, and the average Twitter follower's role in it, are unclear. Even more enigmatic is the "Cybernight" hashtag which has been appended to this transmiss

CD Projekt Red has responded well to Ruppert's warning. On Twitter the developer replied directly to Game Informer 's message and declared its intention to add a new warning to the game aside from the one included in the EULA. It also mentioned that the dev team is already looking into the specific triggers listed by Ruppert, and will be implementing "a more permanent solution" as soon as possible. Whether this solution consists of a blanket overhaul to the game's lighting or a discrete mode that epileptic fans can toggle on remains to be seen. There is as of yet no time frame for this solution either; in the meantime, epileptic fans who want to play the game should take extreme care to avoid th

Ruppert's recent post on the matter ends with a simple message: " Be better, please ." This kind of plea for simple acts of empathy, that should truly take no effort, is the rallying cry each and every time topics of this nature resurface. Evidently, the gaming community, at least as it exists on social media, still has plenty of growing to

"When it works properly, Cyberpunk 2077 is an unmissable experience for fans of story-focused games both big and small. But again, it’s tough for us to urge you to jump in at launch without that big caveat of its numerous release bugs. [...] However, if you can swallow a few glitches in the system, Cyberpunk 2077 is undoubtedly one of the most memorable games you’ll play this year. We can’t wait to reroll our character and play through it all over aga
