Soo... Since the Escapist news crew havent posted anything about it YET, I'll post a summary of their conference today, in Warsaw, announcing among other things, some new details about their Cyberpunk game (still in early development).
1) GOG Presentation in charge of Gillaume, head of GOG. After watching a mock teaser documentary (making fun of Apple), we are presented with the news that the GOG catalog is coming to MAc. For now, 50 games of their catalog will be available for Mac, and the cool thing is that these games will be hybrid, so after purchased, you can either download them to your Mac or PC, as you like.

Some new games are announced: "Puddle" (a phisics puzzle plataformer,
and "Chaos in Deponia"!!! (Deponia 2). Chaos in Deponia (from German great developer Daedelic) will be available in November 6th. for US$20. (It will be available for just US$14 if you preorder it now, and there's also a special promo that includes the first Deponia as well ).

2) CDProject comes on stage. SOme old news; Witcher 2 Sold 2 million copies across all plataforms.
After we see a short trailer, Marcin Iwinski announces the game is coming to Mac. Short summary of the game.
3)REDKIT ANNOUNCEMENT for Witcher 2:
A quick recap of the Redkit toolset that will be available next year [of course for FREE ], and a movie that explains very briefly the steps of creating a simple environment and then running a simple quest.

Apparently, IT WILL BE VERY EASY AND USER FRIENDLY. CDP IS SENDING TODAY THE KIT TO the 100 modders that were chosen to beta-test it before its publc release...
4)Cyberpunk announcement: The title will be CYBERPUNK: 2077
Great Mike Pondsmith is again asked to come on stage to talk about the game with Marcin.
CYBERPUNK: 2077 will extrapolate on the current "fears" and dangers of Humanity, so to speak. The new setting [50 years more into the future than the original] was imagined to allow more room for experimentation.
It will comprise a multi-thread dark-thriller story, much in the tradition of CDProjektRED.
The environment will definetely be a sandbox, and for those familiar with the original P&P game, it will be set in "Night City" and its surroundings.
The combat system mechanics will be based on the original, but it also will be enhanced for this version. More and new weapons and gadgets-enhancements will be added for this version too.
There will be a specific blog, set to reveal news about the game periodically.
Right now there is a new image of a female character available for download there.

That is all folks. I expected also a reveal of their last Cosplay contest, but for now it seems we'll have to wait for that too...
Sooo... Is anyone excited about this?
Im very hopeful about the Cyberpunk game, only a little scared of the sandbox decision... As it is VERY hard to come up with a sandbox game in which strong story and non-linearity are also present...
EDIT: Here you can watch the whole thing...
