Recently, Pawel Sasko, the mission director of Cyberpunk 2077, posted in the community why there is no police car chase in Cyberpunk 2077. Players who have played the Cyberpunk 2077 game know that when you are in trouble, the police will appear around and start shooting at you instead of chasing you like GTA, which also makes many people feel boring. In the recent live broadcast of Cyberpunk 2077, Sasko was asked why there was no chase by the police.
The questioner thought that all other open-world games have a chase function, he explained that due to time and technology constraints, he was forced to give up this function. Sasko joked: First of all, not all open-world games are like this, right? For example, I don’t think the chase game Sonic will have this feature, or The Ring of Eldon will have this feature.
Secondly…because there are various restrictions, you know. In certain circumstances, due to technical limitations…we were not able to succeed. Sasko also hinted that CDPR originally intended to make some form of chase mechanism in the game, but it was eventually cancelled during the development process. He said: It’s not that we don’t do it or don’t want to do it. It’s just that (the company or shareholders) prevents us from developing these functions for some reason.
In short, because CDPR is limited by technology, budget and time, it is really regrettable that it has not been able to realize a mechanism such as the chasing of police and robbers.
