The only performance specific change mentioned in patch notes is optimization to the threading system - that might be a decent boost depending on what they did and your CPU.
I might be misremembering but I think CDPR mentioned they won’t be touching VR unless it becomes more popular. Feels like a lot of work for a niche addition for a game on its last legs support wise (probably… until the next final patch). Would be cool though.
Stream cliff notes:
- Patch created with the help of Virtuos Studio.
- New content focused on player expression.
- Repainting for Chevillon, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort cars.
- Ability to scan patterns from other cars in the city, save them in your database and apply them to your vehicle. Colors in patterns can be changed.
- Changing your paint will make escape from police easier.
- Repainting is intended for owned cars, not stolen ones.
- New cars to buy (8 from base game, 2 from Phantom Liberty).
- Johnny can spawn as a passanger with additional dialog (random chance, won’t show up during combat, story missions or when there’re other passangers in the car).
- Improved photo mode:
- More usable drone mode.
- No more camera collisions.
- New screenshot aspect ratios for PC.
- Up to 3 lights for additional customization.
- Spawnable NPCs.
- Reworked UI.
- In-game gallery, photos can be displayed in player apartments.
- Expanded character creation:
- New assets (hair, eyes, cyberware, nails and makeup options etc).
- Randomizer with filters for what to keep and how crazy you want to look.
- Update will be available soon after the stream.
I had to step away for a moment so I missed a thing or two, check the patch notes whenever they’re posted.
As cool as that would be I’d be very surprised if there were enough people still tinkering with the game to produce a full-on expansion. My bet is on fixes, some small and easy to implement content (basic quests, iconic weapon etc) and a few minor features requested by lots of people (like ability to paint all vehicles or something).
Here are a few that stuck in my mind throughout the years:
- FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn - End of an Era - even for someone completely uninterested in FFXIV this thing went hard. Heck, re-watching it now still gives me chills.
- Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days - War Junkie - I love the contrast between the rough and shitty situation of a dude who can’t let go of criminal life compared to a psychopath who managed to get his life together.
- Leviathan: Warships Jazzy Trailer with Jazz Boatman - smooth and sultry, like a boat (I don’t know what this suppose to mean but the trailer is great).
Yeah, it’s just kind of funny when people will interact with/consume content with a very similar premise to VTubbing without a second thought and then turn around and be utterly confused on “but why/how/what even is this?!”.
I find it interesting how difficult the concept of VTubers can be to understand for some people (not the one in OP obviously) - it’s not like using an avatar (or a costume) to represent yourself is a new thing. Sometimes it feels like the world is going backwards in some regards…
Nice to finally have a date. I played the demo a good few months ago and it was pretty great, can’t wait for the full release.
