Now that Cyberpunk 2077 is only two months away, some may be wondering just how long it will take to finish the open-world action-RPG. While there isn't an official completion number yet, developer CD Projekt Red confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077's campaign will be "slightly shorter" than The Witcher 3's.Following the studio's third episode of Night City Wire, a regular livestream series dedicated to all things Cyberpunk 2077, senior quest designer Patrick K. Mills said Cyberpunk 2077's campaign won't be as long as The Witcher 3's. This is in direct response to complaints the developer got about the length of The Witcher 3's campaign, which can take anywhere from 50 hours to 190 hours to finish."We do know that the main story run in Cyberpunk 2077 is slightly shorter than The Witcher 3," Mills said. "We got a lot of complaints about The Witcher 3's main story just being too long. And looking at the metrics, you see tremendous numbers of people play through that game really far but never made it the end. We want you to see the whole story, so we did shorten the main story. But we have lots to do. And in terms of a completionist campaign, I just don't have that number."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nintendo games, especially first-party titles, are notorious for sticking around $60 for years after release, only seeing significant discounts during major sales like Black Friday and Prime Day. However, that situation seems to be changing, at least for select first-party Switch games and pricey ports. For the past several months, games like Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Splatoon 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Super Mario Maker 2 have regularly been on sale for around $40, marking a major shift from recent years.The growing trend seems to have started several months ago. For example, back in April, we covered a batch of Switch exclusives, including Breath of the Wild and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, going for $40 at Amazon. In June, many Switch exclusives were hovering around $42, but by July, they were back to $40 in a GameStop sale. Best Buy offered the same batch of games for $40 as part of its Labor Day Sale, and right now, as we near the end of September, both Amazon and Target are offering numerous Switch games for $40 each.Super Mario Maker 2 -- $40New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe -- $40Splatoon 2 -- $40Mario Tennis Aces -- $40Yoshi's Crafted World -- $40The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition -- $40Pretty much every other major first-party Switch game you don't see on that list is sitting at $49.94 on Amazon and Best Buy right now. Meanwhile, expensive third-party ports seem to fall in price faster these days as well. Three 2K collections--Borderlands: Legendary Collection, XCOM 2 Collection, and BioShock: The Collection--just launched in May at $50 each, and they're already down to $30 at Amazon. Whether they're $10 or $20 off, it's incredibly strange to see so many major Switch games discounted at one time on a regular basis, but we seem to have reached the point in the Switch's life cycle where this is now common.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Quibi, the short-form mobile video streamer that launched back in April, is reportedly already exploring a sale. According to a Wall Street Journal report, "the company founded by Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg [has been] struggling to sign up subscribers in a competitive online-video marketplace.""Quibi has successfully launched a new business and pioneered a new form of storytelling and state-of-the-art platform," a Quibi spokesman said, adding that the company does not comment on rumor or speculation. "Jeffrey [is] committed to continuing to build the business in the way that gives the greatest experience for customers, greatest value for shareholders and greatest opportunity for employees."However, founder Katzenberg and CEO Meg Whitman have cited COVID-19 as making Quibi's plan for high-production mobile video incompatible with current production realities. Earlier this year at Denver's SeriesFest--a Denver festival "dedicated to championing artists at the forefront of episodic storytelling"--Katzenberg reportedly described the pandemic as a "brick wall" the company hit.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
