Masahiro Sakurai - director of Super Smash Bros Ultimat e ( Switch ) - recently spoke on Cyberpunk 2077 ( PC , PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X ) and CD Projekt Red in his usual biweekly column in Famitsu magazine. While Super Smash Bros Ultimate players are currently enjoying Sephiroth , Sakurai is spending some time on Cyberpunk 2077 . In his column, Masahiro Sakurai shared several thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077 including his own gameplay experience, the bugs and performance issues, and his point of view on it all as a developer. DualShockers read the column, translated, and summarized everything below. Keep in mind that while this issue of Famitsu magazine released on January 14, Masahiro Sakurai wrote the column in late December. Tweet: Weekly Famitsu Magazine January 28, 2021 Issue (Released January 14, 2021). Cover featuring Sakuna . After wishing a happy new year to readers, Super Smash Bros director Masahiro Sakurai brought up how CD Projekt Red started issuing refunds for Cyberpunk 2077 . Due to various issues such as bugs, performance issues, the difference between the PC and console versions, etc. He brought up the official statement mentioning refunds will be issued to anyone dissatisfied. Masahiro Sakurai mentioned that there are various opinions about the situation, but he was honestly very moved by CD Projekt Red's sincerity. Masahiro Sakurai: "This situation is unprecedented, but I personally also consider the honesty of CD Projekt Red's response as unprecedented as well". Next, Masahiro Sakurai shared his own experience with Cyberpunk 2077 . Sakurai tried out Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 Pro, and could play it without problems. Especially with the December 20, 2020 patch (patch 1.05). This made the game run at relatively stable 30 FPS, with the standard quality level expected on consoles. Sakurai knows the PS4 version is below that though. **With that said, Sakurai first played and mainly plays Cyberpunk 2077 on PC, with a brand new GPU ** . He experienced fun bugs such as staying alive with zero HP. Or getting blown away by like 200 meters after breaking a simple window. However, Sakurai also experienced much more serious issues in Night City. Such as being unable to close the game, being unable to use the Steam cloud save function. Or problems with his dual monitors setup. Despite all that, Masahiro Sakurai is thoroughly enjoying his time with Cyberpunk 2077 . He actually already finished the main story, clearing it one week after launch. Now, he aims to further explore the game. Masahiro Sakurai: " Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my dream games and I'm impressed to see all the work poured into it". Masahiro Sakurai highly praised Cyberpunk 2077 for its rich world filled with cultural and historical references. And mentioned he feels like only having seen a glimpse of it. Even after clearing the main story and reading the materials included in the limited edition. Next up, Masahiro Sakurai shared his point of view on the development of Cyberpunk 2077 as a developer himself. First, Sakurai stated players are often unable to realize the incredibly huge amount of work hidden behind the word "optimization", without even taking debugging into account. And how there's a near endless number of tasks related to optimizing a game. He listed several. Such as handling each model's texture efficiently. Compressing the game's sound data correctly. Optimizing the order of the game's processes. Making the game omit a certain number of polygons and movements for models far away from the player. Making it so the game doesn't display elements outside of your field of vision. Classifying the game's effects between those who need to stay in the memory and those who don't. Etc. Secondly, Sakurai explained that taking all of this optimization work into account, for a game as ambitious as Cyberpunk 2077 , it's impossible for its technical performance at launch to match expectations. Masahiro Sakurai: "When your game pushes boundaries the way Cyberpunk 2077 does, be it during development or at release, it won't reach the expected performance level. Because optimization never ends. Needless to say, performance estimates are made during development, but it's like walking on an never-ending tightrope." Thirdly, Masahiro Sakurai added that development becomes even more complicated when it comes to AAA titles, who hold an incredible amount of in-game content. Furthermore, a multi-platform release is also a huge source of trouble. Masahiro Sakurai: "I think it's a miracle in itself that AAA titles manage to release on multiple platforms". Lastly, on top of it all, Sakurai added there's the Covid-19 pandemic to take into account too. So with everything considered, Sakurai supports CD Projekt Red. Masahiro Sakurai: " When you also take Covid-19 into account and the chaos it must have thrown the game's development into, I think it's even more important to stress out CD Projekt Red's honest response. I support Cyberpunk 2077 from the bottom of my heart." [https://Testifix.com/ Cyberpunk 2077 money guide] 2077 - DualShockers Review Discussion If you've read this far and interested in hearing my Unneeded Opinion ™ on this column, I interpret it this way. Sakurai wasn't defending CD Projekt Red for the catastrophic launch of Cyberpunk 2077 . He said it's important to take into account the various factors which led to this situation. And how at least CD Projekt Red admitted its misstep, going as far as issuing refunds. Next up, I'd mention Japanese developers more often than not have nothing but incredibly high praise for AAA Western games . Because of what I interpret as some kind of inferiority complex. And the overall dominion of Western and American culture over the world, often subconsciously considered as superior. Lastly, as we previously mentioned, Masahiro Sakurai wrote the column in late December. The situation has shifted even more since the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on December 10. Most notably with a Bloomberg report on the development of Cyberpunk 2077 and the response that followed from CD Projekt Red.

Steam and Valve's Gabe Newell recently spoke about Cyberpunk 2077 as well. You can read our Cyberpunk 2077 review too for a proper intro to the RPG. Next, you can also follow Masahiro Sakurai on Twitter. Super Smash Bros Ultimate just added Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII as its newest character. Square Enix recently trademarked several Final Fantasy VII related terms, one of which might be referring to Sephiroth. Nothing was announced yet, however. There are still three upcoming DLC characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate . Masahiro Sakurai mentioned mutiple times in the past how Nintendo makes the picks. A pretty safe bet would be the inclusion of the Hunters of Monster Hunter Rise by Capcom. As for the last two, personally, I'm still hoping for the addition of Adol Christin from the Ys series by Nihon Falcom. And the inclusion of Laala from PriPara and Pretty Series by TakaraTomy. I don't think I need to introduce Ys , and Falcom celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021. As for PriPara it's long story short an arcade rhythm game and one of the most popular arcade games of all time in Japan and Asia. __ Masahiro Sakurai shares some thoughts on many different subjects in his Famitsu magazine column. Not necessarily on a specific game. In the past, Sakurai brought up games' review scores and granting awards in the game industry. He also shared some thoughts on Death Stranding and Kojima Productions. Lastly, Masahiro Sakurai also highly praised 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim by Vanillaware.

**Cyberpunk 2077 ** asks players to make many tough decisions, and some of them affect which characters can be saved. Death is frequently a part of life in Night City, and trying to save people can feel like fighting a losing battle, especially when V's best friend dies in Cyberpunk 2077 's first act . However, there are still some [https://Testifix.com/ Cyberpunk 2077 Guide] 2077 characters whose lives can be saved by V's actions, even if the solution isn't always obvious. In Cyberpunk 2077 , Night City is overrun by gangs, and corporations are waging war with each other on the streets, so civilians are frequently casualties of the overwhelming violence. The NCPD is hopelessly corrupt, and politicians are more concerned with gaining power than saving their city, so mercenaries like V sometimes end up playing the unlikely role of hero to the common people. Related: Hideo Kojima's Cyberpunk 2077 Cameo Explained: Where He Is & Why Though V can't help every NPC in Cyberpunk 2077 , their choices and actions in the game can still have a positive effect. Here is every character V can save in Cyberpunk 2077 . How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Barry In "Happy Together" In the Cyberpunk 2077 quest " Happy Together ," a couple of NCPD officers ask V to check on their friend, Barry, who happens to be V’s downstairs neighbor. Barry tells V that his best friend, Andrew, has died. In order to prevent Barry from committing suicide, V needs to investigate Andrew’s memorial, where they’ll find out Andrew is a tortoise. Then V needs to explain everything to Barry’s friends, including the fact that Andrew is a tortoise - otherwise, they won’t realize how much help Barry needs. If V waits too long to go to the memorial or doesn’t tell Barry’s friends the whole story, the quest will automatically fail after a certain amount of time, indicating Barry has died. How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Brick In "The Pickup" " The Pickup " is a Cyberpunk 2077 main-story ques t involving a Militech bot V needs to acquire from Maelstrom. V has several decisions to make in this questline, but no matter what, they’ll end up fighting their way out of the building. Before they leave, though, V can rescue Brick, the former leader of Maelstrom. He’s located in the northern corner of the All Foods warehouse, and V needs to either hack the door or find the code on a computer in the adjacent room. Next, they’ll just have to disarm the laser mine preventing Brick from leaving. How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Gilchrist Or Meredith In "The Pickup" In Cyberpunk 2077 's " The Pickup " mission , V's decision to side with either Maelstrom or Militech will determine which of the Militech agents survives. After meeting with agent Meredith Stout, if V uses the infected credit chip to pay for the bot or chooses to attack Maelstrom, Meredith will prevail over Gilchrist. If V clears the credit chip or pays for the Flathead with their own money and sides with Maelstrom, then Gilchrist will take over, and Meredith will die. Related: How to Romance Meredith Stout in Cyberpunk 2077 How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Garry In "The Prophet’s Song" Garry the Prophet is a homeless man who stands outside of Misty’s Esoterica and rants about fantastical conspiracy theories. After the fifth time V speaks to Garry, a couple of Nomads start harassing him. If V doesn’t intervene, they’ll kill Garry. The Nomads will appear if V gets anywhere close to Garry after the fifth conversation, even if V is inside Misty’s Esoterica getting a tarot reading, so it’s important that players are prepared to handle the situation. Ultimately, Garry ends up disappearing at the end of " The Prophet's Song ," no matter what V does, but at least his mission can still be carried out by his disciples. How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Blue Moon In "Every Breath You Take" This quest only becomes available if V makes the correct decisions in " I Don’t Wanna Hear It ." V must approach the Us Cracks calmly, otherwise the player will be locked out of the " Every Breath You Take " mission. After V finds the stalker who’s planning to hurt Blue Moon, they’ll have the option to spare her life, which means V can technically save two characters in this quest. How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Takemura In "Search And Destroy" The " Search and Destroy " main quest ends with V needing to fight their way out of a building. If they do so without finding Takemura first, he will die. There isn’t a quest objective telling V to find him, though, so players will need to remember to search for him before they leave. V can find Takemura by backtracking through the building until they find a slightly hidden hole in the wall. V and Takemura can then escape together, and Takemura can participate in the game's ending (depending on which path V takes, of course). How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Voodoo Boys In "I Walk The Line" During the " I Walk the Line " main quest, V will be approached by a Netwatch agent who wants V to betray the Voodoo Boys in order to keep the net safer. If V agrees, during the following quest (" Transmission "), Netwatch will appear in the subnet the Voodoo Boys create for V, and all of the Voodoo Boys will die. V can still achieve their goals, either way, and the Voodoo Boys aren’t exactly good guys, so it’s up to players to decide who to support.

The hospital employee betrays V, leading to a firefight. After the fight, V can choose to either kill the hospital employee or let them go, and either way, they get the implant. But if V lets the hospital employee live, V will find out it has a computer virus on it that needs to be removed before it’s implanted in the Aldecaldos kid. If V kills the hospital employee, they won’t find out about the virus, and the Nomad kid will die. How To Save Cyberpunk 2077's Delamain AIs In "Don’t Lose Your Mind" After V completes Cyberpunk 2077 's " Epistrophy " side quests , Delamain needs help dealing with the sentient AIs that are wreaking havoc on the Delamain core. There are three options: reset the core, destroy the core, or merge the core. If V resets the core, all of the sentient AIs will be destroyed. If V merges the core, all of the sentient AIs are incorporated into the main Delamain core, so they lose their independence but technically still live. The best course of action is to destroy the core, which allows the sentient AIs to exist independently and Delamain to function properly - plus, Johnny will approve.
