Cyberpunk 2077 launched in a rather unfinished state, kind of like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim . Thankfully, there aren't any mammoths pinballing between trees, but there are quite a lot of notorious bugs that seem to keep popping up over and over again, much to the dismay of fans hoping for a polished final prod
Hideo Kojima makes perhaps his strangest appearance in his most recent work, Death Stranding . The entire game revels in its own weirdness, but a nightmarish sequence has a Kojima-shaped BT coming out of the floor to grab protagonist Sam Bridges' ankles. The sequence doesn't always trigger, but if players have Bridges sit in a private room for long enough, a pool of tar might appear around his bare feet. Similar to how Death Stranding 's BTs attack the player when traveling through their territory, the tar morphs itself into the likeness of Kojima before Bridges jolts awake out of the nightm
Though intel operative Hideo has a more substantial role in Ground Zeroes , he can also be recruited to the Militaires Sans Frontières mercenary group in Peace Walker . During one of the game's main missions to infiltrate Crater Base, a truck can be found with the license plate number 63824. Interacting with the truck will recruit Kojima to staff Mother Base. The plate number is a reference to Kojima's birthday, August 24, 1
A few months ago, the gaming world was shocked with the announcement that CD Projekt Red had made money hand over fist, apparently thanks to Cyberpunk sales. For a game with such a notorious and controversial reputation, many were wondering if gamers simply didn't care and were eager to play the g
One major problem with the game, especially on consoles, was stability. It simply wasn't there. The game was infamously yanked from Sony's PlayStation Store for its nearly unplayable release quality, and CD Projekt Red has been busy trying to reverse that decision. That means fewer crashes, better optimization, and fixed questli
Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest cautionary tale in modern gaming, is officially back on the PS Store. It kind of feels like that Spongebob meme - you know, that one and only meme from Spongebob - where some guy finds Patrick’s wallet, only Patrick insists it’s not his. Well, Patrick is CDPR , the driving license is Cyberpunk 2077 , the wallet is a standard PS4, and that blue guy is all of us. Aren’t memes even funnier when someone describes them badly instead of using a meme generator site? What’s that? No?! Well, screw you pal. The point is Cyberpunk 2077 is once more available on PS4 , except it’s not rea
The facts are very simple - this is a PS4 game we’re being told not to play on the PS4. Scratch that, it’s a triple-A PS4 game with a huge hype cycle and massive marketing campaign that we’re being told not to play on PS4. You can still buy it, of course. I don’t know if the PS Store can detect the difference between a PS4 and a PS4 Pro, but putting out a tweet essentially saying "you can buy this, but don’t," is horrifically anti-consumer. There are definitely players who are going to buy this on their regular PS4s - PS5s are notoriously hard to get and for literally every other game, the standard PS4 works. I know, I had the base version of the console last gen and had zero issues with its performance aside from it running a little loud. These players will be buying it because if they want to play Cyberpunk 2077, they have no other options, and they might not have even seen the tweet telling them not to. It’s reasonable for a player to assume that if a game is available to buy on the PS4, it will work on the PS4. We should be outraged that CDPR and Sony are selling these folk an unplayable experie
Though Kojima can only be found once in Cyberpunk 2077 Patch Notes 2077 , there is another nod to him later in the game. During a side mission, protagonist V will infiltrate a Night City Police Department lab. In one of the rooms, a Death Stranding Bridge Baby pod can be fo
When players interact with Panam, they can form a bond with this character as they help out both her and the group she works for. The Aldecaldos are nomads with a common cause who band together to pool their resources and do what's right for their group in the lawless area of the Badla
The remake of the first MGS for the GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes , has an additional Kojima cameo during the Psycho Mantis fight. A portrait of Kojima is hanging on a wall in the room where the boss fight occurs, along with two other portraits of developers who worked on the game - Ryuhei Kitamura and Denis Dyack, according to VGFac
After being advertised as having state-of-the-art graphics and incredible gameplay, the final result underdelivered so much that it was critically scathed, and at one point, Sega was going to be sued for false advertising . The game was developed by Gearbox, who also developed Duke Nukem Forever , which also had a notoriously bad reception upon release due to claims of false advertis
