Cyberpunk 2077 frykter ikke Half-Life: Alyx

Her kommer en liten nyhetssak jeg ikke vurderte selv engang siden undertegnede tenkte i samme stil som CD Projekt Red, men som faktisk er litt interessant.

For da studioets "senior vice president of business development", Andrzej Nowakowski, fikk spørsmålet om de frykter at lanseringen av Half-Life: Alyx vil påvirke salget av Cyberpunk 2077 avslører avskriften fra investormøtet at CD Projekt Red ikke frykter Valves storspill i det hele tatt:

"So, of course, we've seen the Half-Life PR announcement. I think it was a surprise for everybody, but I think not in a way you are suggesting. VR remains an extremely nichey niche of the market, like it's very, very small. The only reason I can think of why has Valve has decided to actually put this title in the market is because they actually have a corporation on the hardware side of the things, and I assume that they actually are planning. This is probably a big effort for them to sort of try to expand that. That niche is very, very, very -- and I could add a few verys here -- small. So from the market perspective, are we afraid? No, because it's a very different niche."

Nowakowski mener altså at Half-Life: Alyx muligens vil kunne gjøre virtual reality mer populært på sikt, men at VR-markedet per i dag er såpass lite at et VR-eksklusivt spill ikke byr på en nevneverdig konkurranse for spill på både PC, PS4 og Xbox One, noe som gir mening.

Hvilke spill tror du eventuelt vil kunne hamle opp med Cyberpunk 2077 neste år?
