I can hardly wait for the next trailer and another 100 pages of codexian edginess.

I can hardly wait for the next trailer and another 100 pages of codexian fanboyism.

Codex is truly the most diverse forum, you see?

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe to distribute Cyberpunk 2077 in selected European markets

October 16, 2018

CD PROJEKT RED, creator and publisher of The Witcher series of games, and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe are excited to announce their partnership to distribute Cyberpunk 2077 in 24 European countries.

“Our current distribution partnership with BANDAI NAMCO is built on the strong foundation and trust developed during our previous projects,” said Michal Nowakowski, CD PROJEKT’s Member of the Board and SVP of Business Development. “We’ve successfully cooperated on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and I’m convinced BANDAI NAMCO will take good care of Cyberpunk 2077.”

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe will be responsible for the distribution and promotion of Cyberpunk 2077 in Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Malta, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

“CD PROJEKT RED has become, in just a few years, one of the leading studios in this sector with a truly innovative approach to each game and we are both proud and excited to confirm that we’ll be part of the Cyberpunk 2077 project,” said Alberto González Lorca, VP Southern Europe & Biz Dev of BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe. “We’re looking forward to working once again with CD PROJEKT RED and distribute another of its games in Europe, providing first-class services to one of the most eagerly awaited games of the coming years.”

Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, open-world RPG set in the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future — Night City. The game follows the story of V, a mercenary on the rise in a world of cyberenhanced street warriors, tech-savvy netrunners and corporate life-hackers. Featuring CD PROJEKT RED’s hallmark concept of choices and consequences, players will face difficult decisions that ripple through the entire game. Winner of over 100 awards at E3 2018, Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the universe of the classic pen & paper RPG system, Cyberpunk 2020.

I have no idea why they're not self-publishing yet. Larian can do it, why not CDPR? Unless consoles are the sticking point... because Bamco also published DOS2 on consoles now that I think about it.

 

[LESS T_T]

Yeah, it's more about physical distribution and local marketing. CDPR did digital distribution of Witcher 3 themselves including consoles, Cyberpunk would be the same.

In short - CD Projekt goes all in with CP2077, either they'll succeed or close down if the game fails financially or so businessinsider thinks.

 

[Lahey]

If Cyberpunk fails financially I'll post nudes.

Let me quote this just in case.

No one ever delivers on these promises

 

[Gerrard]

According to received notification, on 17 October 2018, Mr. Michał
Nowakowski – Board Member of the Company sold 63,499 shares of Company
stock on the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The average
price per share was 165,74 PLN.

Everything's fine.
1 day before that the talks in Sapkowski's case took place. Coincidence?
E: to add to the above coincidence, the value was almost 200PLN 2 weeks ago

 

[Infinitron]

Spoiler

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

You are V.
This means the game is player centric and not character centring pretty idiotic choice for a game based on a pen and paper rpg.

 

[ZeniBot]

Yeah I agree, I think that they should've allowed us to make our own character like the PnP. Otherwise this game is just Deus Ex: HR but with driving. I mean I guess I'll enjoy that, but its not Cyberpunk 2020.

 

[Kem0sabe]

I disagree, I much prefer the quality of having a somewhat fixed protagonist, in terms of character, voice work, dialogue and quest design. Having a blank slate means having bland world.

Not that far, Adam Jensen is too predefined; set gender, looks, backstory etc. V can still be flexible in those regards. I also prefer blank-slate protags when developers know how well they can support/react to the range of things a blank-slate character can be throughout the game and limit that range of things he/she can be accordingly. V is a compromise in between for their story-telling purposes.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

According with cd projekt red V is just as defined as geralt you can see it in the gameplay demo too the only difference is you can change gender a customize a little ((with presets)) the appearance. On top of that your character has also a set age. So yes what they told in the interview is an half truth. Even the system of progrettion of the game not only has nothing to do with cyberpunk ((leveled ennemies in cyberpunk?)) But there will be also lack of social skill.

So in the end this game of cyberpunk has only the visual style for the rest it plays like an ordinary FPS with multiple choices and quests.

 

[Jenkem]

this game will make invisible war look good

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

This game will be just another themepark shooter with quests and narrative with a collab of features taken by other shooters.

 

[AwesomeButton]

"V" sounds terribly impersonal, and makes me hope for more freedom in characterization coming from the player. But I'm probably wrong and the point of "V" is just that they can record male and female VO for half the price

Judging by the demo there is no much room for charaterization all you have is the freedom to chose gender and mix and match with presets to obtain a personal look with all the limitations this bring. But V is indeed very defined. Set age.Set manner to interact with the world. Just like Geralt but unlike Geralt you can chose to have a penis or a vagina.

Blank characters are for customization fags. People who love to spend the first 10 hours playing with beards, hair and pimples. Despicable creatures.
