Cyberpunk 2077

[Elkfingers]

Literally 6 solid years of hype. The best bit is that CDPR are heckin good bois and I have absolute confidence that I'm not going to be disappointed at all.

Why can't other studios suck a little less? That would be cool.

[Clozer]

Is this game multiplayer too?

It will launch without, but they recently 'hired' some specialists in Networking and Cloud Gaming. So i think they are at least trying.

The behind doors presentation has happened and there have been reports of what was seen and said, but the actual gameplay isn't going to be released yet - that will happen sometime in the future.

There are some spoilers involved so stay away from the reports if you don't want to know.

There is some interesting non-spoiler information though. The gameplay took place mid game and was from a netrunner perspective, though at one point they used dev tools to switch to a more brute force approach to show an alternative route that was available. They also said that it was possible to play the game through without killing anyone though you still may need to hurt people along the way.

There are actually multiple languages in the game and you have software that translates it and displays it on your cyberoptics as subtitles.

Combat involves anything from machine guns to broken bottles to stealth kills garrotting them with a monofilament whip (which just sounds nasty)

I'm actually pretty excited for this game. Does anybody know if this game will have classes? If so, what are those classes?

There are no classes as such, more archetypes, but it is meant to be fluid so you can take from all three archetypes and build the way you want to play. The three archetypes are Solo (combat), Netrunner (hacker) and Techie (mechanical.)

Some new(?) info from game quest director:
"We have the six [main] districts, which also have [sub-districts]. We have the Badlands, which is the area surrounding the city, the outskirts. The city itself is pretty big, but it also has levels. Because there are missions that will lead you to a specific building, and these can be pretty high, multiple levels and so on."

Tomaszkiewicz also talked about the various people and groups you encounter while playing. The city is divided between different gangs and corporations, with different ones taking charge. Each of the districts have their own ruling gang. For example, in the demo we saw, which took place in Pacifica, the Voodoo Boys were in charge. However, head into downtown and the corporations "keep people in check strictly with their security forces." No one corporation owns an entire area, though. "They are in this kind of situation where they are bidding for power with each other, but they operate to keep the whole system in balance."

Don't think that is for Cyberpunk. Their financial briefings promised 2 AAA games by the end of 2021 to their investors. Their MP game is likely a launch window(probably early 2021 so not exactly at launch) game for next gen.

cant wait for this game
although i wish i could customize my character, i dont feel any sort of negative feelings about this game
looking forward for this game for quite some time now

I don't think he is a hologram per se. They talk about the chip you stole during the heist which I believe contains Johnny silver hands mind/personality. His girlfriend I believe was digitized so it would make sense if the same happened to johnny as well. So what you are seeing is not exactly a hologram but basically in your own mind. A ghost in somebody else's shell as it were.

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I read, I just didn't want to spoil it . It actually is pretty cool in my opinion and "cyberpunk-y" (ha!) as an idea

You can customize your character. Did people ignore last E3 gameplay or what?

Ok, we got confirmation bout Keanu character.

For those who somehow missed it...

Ok, we got confirmation bout Keanu character.

Is this confirming Johnny Silverhand is an AI now, or is he broadcasting to you?

[Makabreska]

Is this confirming Johnny Silverhand is an AI now, or is he broadcasting to you?

Considering, that in 2077 he is dead for over 50 years... . So we will get Johnny /Keanu as a sidekick char, similar to Joker in Arkham Knight, Noice.

[unholytestament]

They could be playing fast and loose with the timeline.

I mean, 2020 is next year...

They skip the timeline 50y forward from the table top game, but I'm pretty sure they will stay faithful to the lore. Johnny is one of the major characters of that world. I mean, his gf already lives in cyberspace for many years.

Oh wait, apparently they shown a proper gameplay during closed presentation this E3.

Recap here.

I was interested until I discovered it as a FPS. By the world and looks of the game's visuals, I assumed a GTA-style 3rd person perspective.

It is first person, but it doesn't necessarily need to be played as a shooter.

[Orby]

I am just thinking if this game fails then the outrage is gonna be massive...

Or

The amount of hype has set peoples expectations so high, its a case that if a reviewers dares give it a 8/10 they'll be harassed with death threats. People are very protective of things they like.

even if it fails to meet the expectations i bet it will still be way better than any game released nowdays.

i agree that it is a bad aproach to do this as shooter.
mass effect style would have been way better.

[Tech614]

I think it will be a good game regardless but I doubt it's even the best game released in 2020. In fact I wager TLOU2 will clean it's clock in GOTY award numbers.

Well if it turns out shit then obviously thats not true (big 'if'). Not saying it will just thinking the scenarios through. :P
