Whatever Cybernight is, it'll be hard pressed to get fans more excited for the game than they already are. People are so impatient that they've already started making VR porn parodies of a game that's still a week away at best. It's been a long, hard wait for _Cyberpunk 2077 _ fans. Hopefully these bereft gamers will be able to take part in whatever Cybernight is with a copy of the game finally in h

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

CD Projekt Red's commitment to addressing this issue is promising, though. It's always good to see developers recognizing their faults and making their games more accessible to all. One can only hope that CD Projekt Red's promised solution will come soon, and that _Cyberpunk 2077 _ will be worth the wait for all gamers, regardless of what conditions they might h

Unfortunately, when the game hits shelves on December 10th, not everyone will be able to fully enjoy the bright lights of Night City. Liana Ruppert, a journalist for Game Informer , issued a PSA yesterday warning epileptic fans of an overabundance of flashing lights in the game which could potentially trigger seizures. Given the high-tech nature of the game's setting, this is perhaps understandable, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. Among the many potential triggers Ruppert outlined were decorative lights pulsing in multiple bars and nightclubs, as well as a glitchy visual effect which appeared every time Keanu Reeves' character Johnny Silverhand appeared onscreen. She also identified the game's braindance mechanic as a major threat; the headset that protagonist V uses to engage with this mechanic in-game bears an unfortunate resemblance to a medical device used specifically to trigger epileptic episodes, and is roughly as effect

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

It is so close to release day that some platforms have already permitted the game to be preloaded . On player, Reddit user jmendo02 , tried to take that a step further and actually play the game, but was instead met by a screen where the character Johnny Silverhand, who is played by Keanu Reeves, tells the player to " go back to sleep " and wait for the game's true release date. The Easter egg is a riff on an earlier gameplay preview in which Johnny Silverhand told players it was time to wake

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

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

"I’m V and the game is Silverhand - I can’t get Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes|https://cyberpunk2077fans.com/ 2077 out of my head. I’ve had it a week and played 70 hours, which is probably about as healthy as scooping out my face and replacing it with electronics, but it didn’t feel like work. Like a digital personality loaded onto a biochip, it felt like stepping into another life for a while. It’s a life I can’t wait to reli
