CDPR dev rides to the rescue, defending Starfield in the face of character animation criticism, claiming Cyberpunk 2077 set the bar too high
CDPR dev defends Starfield’s character animations in response to criticism compared to Cyberpunk 2077.
Once upon a time, in a land called CD Projekt Red, a game called Cyberpunk 2077 was launched to the dismay of gamers everywhere. It was a disaster of epic proportions, with more bugs than a spider farm, and glitches that made your character look like a pretzel doing yoga. But fear not, for CD Projekt Red rose from the ashes like a phoenix with a fiery determination to redeem themselves. They released updates, overhauled the game, and even gave us the incredible Phantom Liberty expansion. And lo and behold, Cyberpunk 2077 became a shining gem in the gaming world, much to the delight of its loyal fans.
Now, in this tale, we enter the realm of Starfield, a much-anticipated game that has gamers on the edge of their seats. But alas, it seems that Starfield has fallen victim to some harsh criticism. One gamer took to Twitter, expressing their disappointment, saying, “As much as I like Starfield, Creation Engine needs to go. Going back to Cyberpunk puts in perspective just how outdated Starfield’s dialogue animations are, and it is staggering.”
Oh, the drama! But fear not, for CD Projekt Red’s senior quest designer, Patrick K. Mills, swooped in like a valiant knight to defend the honor of Starfield. He argued that the difference in animations between the two games is not due to the engine, but rather the tools and design choices. Mills explained that Starfield focuses on providing a vast world with limitless freedom for players, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 focuses on cinematic scenes with meticulous detail.
In Mills’s words, “Starfield offers scenes like meeting constellations for the first time and epic quest sequences, but it also has countless scenes with a variety of characters and locations that will blow your mind.” He emphasized that creating the masterpieces seen in Cyberpunk 2077 takes years of dedicated work, something that would be nearly impossible to achieve on the same scale in a game as massive as Starfield.
And let’s not forget, this isn’t the first time Mills has come to Starfield’s defense. In a previous encounter, he brushed off a video comparing the two games, dismissing it as “fake criticism” and “actively harmful.” You go, Mills!
