But my OP does. It is about could the media's comparisons between the two games hurt DA4. Only if the media loudly and consistently says, "DA4 sucks because CP77 rules." And that's because of the Anchoring Effect. See vid below. It seems a much more likely risk that DA4 will suffer because the media says "DA4 sucks", period. I'm saying "much more likely" in relative terms, for example, 0.01% (CP77 effect) versus 0.1% chance the media dumps on DA4 on it's own merits. That's 10x more risk, but in the absolute, hardly any risk at all. But even if that happens, the effect will be dwarfed by the much bigger problem that the media will hurt CP77, by comparing it to The Witcher 3 unfavorably. The TW3 is going to be a hard act for anyone to follow, most particularly CDPR. It seems inevitable that CP77 will get beaten up, perhaps to an exaggerated degree, because TW3 set expectations unachievably high. You thought the outrage over MEA was bad, just wait and see what happens after CP77 launches. It could be a completely decent game but get sub 70 Metacritic, just because it's not as good as TW3. 1) I agree with you about the anchoring effect. Not just with games but movies as well. BvS and Man of Steel come to mind. 2) 2077 being compared to TW3 is already happening. TW3 set a gaming precedent for what side quest and narrative should be like, as well as open world execution. 2077 will not only be expected to match TW3 but surpass it. I have no doubt that 2077 will live up to the hype.

In any event we should all be hoping that Cyberpunk succeeds, just like we should all be hoping that Dragon Age succeeds. I know I can be pretty negative regarding Inquisition and my expectations for DA4 on these forums, but even in the event that I don't end up buying it myself, I hope that DA4 does well. Because I want developers and publishers all to get the message that there's a thriving RPG market out there that they need to be catering too.

I have no doubt that 2077 will live up to the hype. I'm curious as to your lack of doubt? I'm very doubtful myself. CP77 has many things going against it: 1) doesn't have high quality novels behind it, like TW3 did, as a well to dip into for characters and lore, 2) there are persistent rumors that CDPR is a meat-grinder for workers and that they continually lose people who quit or are fired, meaning they continually bleed institutional knowledge, 2.5) and many of those that quit cite inept management as the reason they quit, and 3) even if none of that was true, it is very difficult in even the best of circumstances to surpass your own best work, and even if you do, your customer's expectations are always higher, leading to disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I want them to succeed and I wish them the best. I just won't bet my last penny on them topping TW3.

I haven't read the Witcher novels or short stories so I can't really speak to their quality or lack there of, but one common thread is that Cyberpunk is also built on a pre-existing property so they'll be able to draw from that for world-building purposes if nothing else. They'll have to come up with a cast of characters all their own but they aren't starting from scratch, either.

In terms of sales? Possibly, but the publishers will make sure to time their releases as effectively as possible. EA learned some valuable lessons from the JoH/previous generation debacle. I look forward to seeing whether CDPR can pull off the cyberpunk game that gaming needs, but I'm just as excited for the next Dragon Age. (The setup from Trespasser is killing me.) 2077 needs to meet the standard of TW3 on top of all the years of being in development, but I believe CDPR can do it. In the end, I suppose "success" will come down to how far apart each release is and the group mentality around GOTY. A lot of the gaming community dismissed Inquisition as a failure in the wake of Wild Hunt, but I enjoyed it and can't wait to see what Weekes and the rest of the team does. I'll support any great RPG, but we'll see what another few years of waiting brings. I believe 2077 has a chance of becoming great, but it cannot beat witcher in terms of quality. Mainly because witcher had an established universe before the games came out and the games had crazy amount of events/lore to be crafted from. 2077 doesn't have the foundation to be as impactful as the witcher.

This is why CDPR should have secured the rights to do a Shadowrun RPG instead of a Cyberpunk 2020 RPG. Metric shit-tons of lore to be drawn from Shadowrun.

It actually has, but more related to the setting/world than the characters. I think the writing, quests, world, art and ambiance will be dialed to 11. The big question is mechanics and the gameplay. Don't think most people realize how complex it is on that front...ludicrous amount of options with equipment( especially the crazy stuff: whips, nunchaka's, chainsaw, etc), cyberware, gadgets, distinctive roles, ton of non combat skills, along with huge range of combat playstyles you have netrunning, stealth, diplomacy, life paths, cyberpsychosis...crossover of Deus Ex/Fallout on steroids, in nutshell. Their gameplay designers would have to improve massively on this, I'm more worried about itemization/balancing than anything else.

Bioware's current reputation will hurt DA4 more than Cyberpunk ever could. God help us all if Anthem flops.

Don't get me wrong, I want them to succeed and I wish them the best. I just won't bet my last penny on them topping TW3. I am just using CDPRs past as a reference. They created TW1 with good reviews and success and then followed up greatly with TW2 and of course topped everything off with TW3. As of now, CDPR has not produced any duds and seems to be projecting up. Also they DO have source material to work from. Cyberpunk 2077 is a videogame successor to the original Cyberpunk tabletop RPG so there is already a lore and setting established. IN ADDITION, they have Mike Pondsmith, the creator and mastermind of the orginal tabletop version working shoulder to shoulder with CDPR in to bring this game to life and make sure that it follows his vision correctly. I mean, just watch this interview: And Finally, CDPR does not have EA breathing down their necks. CDPR has a bit more freedom and flexibility to do things that Bioware doesnt. One thing is time. If 2077 has to wait for 2020 or God forbid....2021, then they will wait. On the other hand, EA is probably putting mandates on Bioware to have the game ready by a certain date like MEA and DA2.

I mean, if Bioware can mine gold from an old tabletop RPG, why not CDPR? EDIT: Oops, I didn't know Cyberpunk 2020 was also a tabletop RPG that predates Shadowrun. But even so, there's a lot of accumulated lore around Shadowrun. That said, having the creator of Cyberpunk on the payroll is a plus.

Yeah, the original Cyberpunk tabletop came out a year before the Shadowrun tabletop. Honestly I'm not hugely familiar with Cyberpunk's base setting - I've always been more of a Shadowrun fan. But from what I've gathered, the Shadowrun setting is richer and more packed with alternate history events and fallout from the fact that you don't just have the traditional cyberpunk societal changes but also magic coming back.
That being said, Cyberpunk hasn't put out a source book in twelve years where as Shadowrun's still going strong and, I'm given to understand, Microsoft has it's rights on lock, licensing them out to smaller companies to make steam games. So getting the rights to Cyberpunk 2020 was probably significantly easier and cheaper.
Which also means that if Cyberpunk succeeds and convinces Microsoft that a Triple A shadowrun game would be marketable I'd likely have to get an X-Box to play it.

I've also read an article recently that some developers at CDPR actually played Cyberpunk a lot when they were younger, so I think they were interested in doing this setting in particular.

That's a good sign, because this means they will be potentially bringing characters that they know well but nobody else in the world does to the table. For me neither Cyberpunk, nor Shadowrun means a thing, but I want a fresh cool setting, not something familiar. Tyranny is a small game, but it managed to create a familiarity with the setting and a bunch of awesome characters I care about from scratch, and I don't understand why a juggernaut of a company hiring hundreds of creative people won't be able to do the same, particularly with a canned setting already on their drawing table. If anything, for me it is the already established lore, characters and events that hurts DA4, because they created a few unkillable characters, and major world changing events, like actually siding with Solas, tearing down the Veil and turning the world into the playground of Demons and Spirits, is impossible, because they said they are shooting for more than 4 games. The games also diverge strongly from one another in its setting and it does bug me to the extent that I would have preferred the settings called different for each game, or timeline between them to be waaaay more than just a few years. So, overall, a fresh setting with new characters and protagonist is way more welcome to me than more of sort of the same (or trying to be the same).

Well, the Cyberpunk setting was originally set in 2020 (which seemed like a much more futuristic date when the tabletop came out) while the game will be set over fifty years later in 2077. So there will be lots of continuity in setting I bet, but I doubt you'll see that many of the same characters around. Still, they have frequent meeting with the creator of the tabletop, so I imagine they have a ton of material to work with.

That's all good, as long as there is no lore hidden outside the game which makes the characters flat. I just want to meet them in the game, get to know them and feel that it's all there for me to discover and make up my own mind about them without being pushed by the author's authority or being told that it is like that because of what happened in a novel. So, yes, fresh cool setting, fresh start, my own main, and I can't see how it can fail for me personally if gameplay is at least okay. The rest of the world obviously might hate it, but I am used to that.

It probably won't hurt on sales, but maybe on the reviews
I liked Dragon Age: Inquisition, but I always felt something was missing, something that made me feel good enough to say "Wow, this game is awesome!". The Witcher 3 provided it and showed what Inquisition could have been, especially when it comes to side quests and consequences.
If they just release another Dragon Age with actually no consequences, no different endings, not interesting characters and a lot of fetch side quests, it will be a huge letdown. It was forgivable in 2014 (except that Inquisition actually had some nice characters). It won't be on 2019-.

Honestly I don't know how many people would care if they made the game a setting update of the tabletop RPG rather than a sequel set in the same continuity, kind of like how they did with the Bond movies. If it gives them established characters to work with that the fans would appreciate seeing brought to life in a Triple A game, then I don't imagine people would get too bent out of shape over it.

Actually if you look at quality if TW3 there's a lot of abandoned quests and areas that are just left in game, it's quite honestly a miracle that the game doesn't have more issues with all that code just left in. In addition there are still bugs in quests that never got fixed. I do agree with you on the lore and narrative but nothing is stopping rpgs from having those pre-determined relationships other than people being grumpy that it hurts their RP. I will always hold back trust in a game till I see the reviews even if the company has a good track record. It doesn't help that from what I've seen and heard makes it look like CPDR might have bitten off more than it can chew. I hope they can make CP 2077 good but I wont be upset if it flops.
