Several gaming news outlets misinterpret CDPR interview as Cyberpunk 2077 having a literal "GTA Mode"

I saw some blog-spamm rehashing of a CDPR interview this morning, touting the game as having a "GTA Mode" you can turn on. For example, TechPowerUp states "In a recent interview with PCGamesN, Max Pears, a designer involved in Cyberpunk 2077 development, has said that the game will have a "Grand Theft Auto (GTA) mode."The original interview over on PCGamesN says:“If you want to go out on a rampage and have no remorse, then you have got the option, and that’s fine with us.” However, it seems the more players progress, the more they’ll be tempted to try out some of the upcoming PC game’s other, less, er, excitable options.“However, once you start to play the missions and see the amount of options you have,” Pears tells us, “I think that will make players stop and think a little bit before doing something reckless.“We’ve seen a lot of people default to that ‘GTA mode’ and then after a little bit they realise how many things are different and adjust how they play.”Reading the direct words of CDRP here, it's pretty clear they are referring to a playstyle or mindset that feels more akin to GTA, not that the game has a literal "GTA Mode" you can turn on.I'm sure some other news outlets are going to pick up on this incorrectly as well... via /r/Games https://ift.tt/3gaPEbX
