This is one of the problems of crunch and tight release dates. Management gets used to deliver thanks to the developers last moment heroic efforts. But I don't think that Cyberpunk fits in a PS4. People are calling for more "optimization" like a magic wand that the developers use to fix all problems. There are limits to what some hardware can do. I hope that improvements can make things somewhat better, but it cannot run a 2020 groundbreaking game into an old PS4. You need 1 year, so I give you 4 weeks, break encryption but make it safe, optimize this game to run like mostly empty games in a PS4. That's not realistic. I love this game, it is awesome. And launching it on PS4 without showing images it is a mistake, and probably bad will. CD Projekt Red could have crowned themselves as the best video games company in the world, they got complains instead.

They already changed the bonus structure to reflect the fact that poor quality was due to management failures.

When they started development the PS4 target was new and the intent was to release years before the PS5. Plenty of games do miracles more on the same hardware. I don't think the PS4 being old was the issue, I think it's the mismanagement you touched on. Even on the best PC you can get right now the game is just "alright with a few bugs" IMO. There is nothing about target platforms they could have done to crown themselves "best video games company in the world" with this game.

>But I don't think that Cyberpunk fits in a PS4 From watching the game for a while (and seeing people play it on a few years old mid-tier PC's, albeit in lower settings) I'm not sure there's anything in the game that in principle would make it impossible to run on a PS4. IT's been in development for a while, I think before devs even had even access to a PS5.
