Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer Goes on Transhumanist Rampage

[Baresark]

Pretty adolescent stuff to be honest and a bit disappointing as far as tone goes. Still, their environment artists deserve a pay-raise. The attention to the details like the 80s influenced color scheme and the spinners made me very very happy. Overall I'm still excited for the game even if I'm pretty neutral on the teaser.

I'm honestly curious about what was adolescent in that trailer?

Edit: OT (forgot this but): Not that I wasn't already interested in the game, but this is a cool teaser. It's deep and works on a couple of levels. The juxtaposition of the action against the slow motion is always effective, IMO. The music was appropriate and it was interesting to see the... what I can only describe as the look of welcome acceptance the events are over, and perhaps the characters pain in what has transpired. It really only makes me a bit more mad that we probably aren't going to see the game this year.

Well it's supposed to be at least partially YOUTHFUL (Thus the term "punk") but honestly, what's so sophomoric about it?

As I said in the thread in the forums-titties and gore, certainly is CD Projekt Red.

Still, I won't say that I'm not interested in this. I just hope that they can get a voice actor for the protagonist who can emote more than a fucking brick made out of potato.
Fucking Geralt, seriously.

Looking forward to this. CD Projekt has done a great job on the Witcher, but the thing is I really cannot get into the atmosphere and story of that game, so it's about time they did something else.

 

[Baldry]

Is it me or does the description of the game remind anyone else of Tokyo Gore Police?

 

[Erttheking]

Not huge on the trailer, but I people have been saying that the Witcher is a good game around here, and the concept IS interesting (sounds a lot like Binary Domain to be honest, really should get around to playing that game) so maybe I'll give it a crack.

"There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as against all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call 'meatbags.'"

So wait, too many modifications doesn't cause rejection that basically kills you like in Deus Ex, it just causes them to become HK-47?

Spoiler: pleaaaaase

Ahh I love this company. While its just beauty shots, its the aesthetic that is presented that makes it desirable. I trust this company to put together something solid with this IP.

I've always assumed that it was the cybernetic implants within the brain that caused people to go wonky.

Well, considering the possibly huge amount of wiring and op-chips infused with the nervous system, the notion that the machine part would take over, seems like a viable result.

In Cyberpunk 2020, you had a "humanity" score, based off of a number of things. Every single bit of cybernetic alteration you made to yourself - and I mean EVERY single one; even a very simple cosmetic alteration dropped your Humanity score by .1 - would reduce that score a bit.

Get low enough, you become cold, distant.
Get to zero, the GM takes your character sheet away from you and your character goes apeshit.

Hopefully, they'll implement that into this game...

Aw man Why Cyberpunk 2020 instead of Shadowrun?

Because they have the creator of Cyberpunk 2020 on the team for this game.

 

[StriderShinryu]

As I've said elsewhere on the site, I wish there was more content to the trailer, but that's just because I like what I see and hear so much.

Loving where they're going with the story on it too. Could make for some very interesting story/character decisions given the examples already seen in the Witcher games.

Hopefully, has Pondsmith is on the team, has a consultant, to check on game mechanic and design, with some luck we will end up with the game most respectful of P&P rules since Infinity engine.

"when it's ready"

Oh god, please god no. I beg you god, for fucks sake.

 

[Screamarie]

Oooookkkkaayyy....It's a trailer that has no gameplay in it...so of course it's going to look good but.......OMG that was SOOOO cool! I have to keep an eye out for this title. I hope it comes out good cause I'm not really excited for any games right now.

 

[octafish]

Because Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Online are already happening?...sooooo moot point?

Even though I knew beforehand that this was CG when I first saw the lady's face I thought it was real.

I hope it isn't a PC exclusive...

Shouldn't worry, The Witcher 2 was made with consoles in mind, but it probably won't be on the current generation of consoles. If you are a Sony Fan just pray the PS4 isn't as much a shit to program for as the PS3, otherwise you may be out of luck.

My goodness the 80's had some good RPG stuff didn't it? I just hope that someone develops a decent RPG based on Twilight 2000.

 

[Abomination]

The soundtrack alone sells this for me.

I guess we'll be playing as the fellow with the funky blue mask.

 

[Fappy]

I think something in my pants just got augmented...

Whelp, this is goin' on teh wish list!

 

[Tarkand]

The trailer does look like the art of those old rpg books that made no sense... like how this is essentially a scene of an armed squad shooting at a girl WHILE THE GUY THEY HIRED TO KILL HER IS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO HER.

Wait what? ._.

Good old 80' rpgs, I swear.
