Preview Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire Episode 1: The Gig Trailer, Braindance Gameplay Footage and Previews

[sqeecoo]

I don't like the first person thing somehow, and while it looks very nice if horribly garish in color, I don't care about that all that much - nor do I care too much about the combat, which was pretty shitty in all the witcher games. It's the story and the C&C that matters, which we haven't seen yet and that worries me a bit. Still, I trust CDProjekt enough to believe it will be a labor of love, not a cash grab (if they wanted a cash grab they could have milked the Witcher for 1000000 more sequels). Doesn't mean that it'll be good, but I don't expect it to be popamole.

 

[Jaedar]

Am I the only one that is not impressed? It looks like a typical cyberpunk open world FPS...Where are the fucking RPG elements, where are the massive dialogue trees? Is this game gonna be a "cinematic" FPS? Where's the overall "RPG" gameplay and feeling? Even the crappy outer worlds looks more RPG than this...

No RPG gameplay here mate, it's all popamole. Waste of the PnP licence

Popamole with levels. Can't wait to complete the next main quest and level up, so all my bullets magically do +3 damage.

With 1st person you save frames-per-second because the fov is smaller, but you also feel more constrained - because the fov is smaller.

I've always regarded the "1st person is more immersive" talk as purely PR bullshit for the suckers. What's immersive about losing 1/3 of my field of vision?

On the other hand, 3rd person would be more demanding on the hardware, which will already be strained. 3rd person also comes with the need to think about contextual animations for climbing stairs, leaning on walls, etc.

This is a disgusting trailer. It's essentially a movie trailer. Contemporary music, explosions, guns and swearing. Let's cater to the lowest common denominator. Disgusting.

Seriously it looks like an Oceans Eleven movie. What's this horrible future with wondrous tech and hopeful laughing people having the best time of their lives?

 

[underground nymph]

what a fancy looking shooters they do nowadays

 

[Serious_Business]

This chick from cdpr -> Hollie Bennett...
Is HOT.
I would totally bang her.

I'd also totally bang you friend

I mean when you gotta go you gotta go right

 

[Egosphere]

Why are all the women in this game so ugly?

Witcher 3 is politically incorrect in the current year

 

[Gwendo]

Driving looks weak, like kart driving. The shooting part of combat is underwhelming (in general, I don't like FPS combat where enemies are bullet sponges as if we're using water gun toys *cough* Borderlands *cough*), but forunately there's plenty of alternatives (melee, skills/gadget, stealth, etc).

Graphics-wise, I'm satisfied. Not overwhelmed, but not disppointed. We all knew that CDP would tone it down, just like they did with The Witcher 3, which still looks very good, anyway. A little less popping would be apreciated, but not very important.

I loved The Witcher 3 (after the alternative combat controls were implemented), so I can expect that CP2077 won't be any less enjoying. So I'm still looking forward to this game.

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Yes it looks really tame. The writing is tame the characters feel meh, models are mostly mediocre with some occasional good looking one. In a setting that is supposed to tantalize you weird shit... You can feel the money and eurojank roots being polished to an absurd degree and to satisfy all the normies. I guess we shall see when it comes out. I expect that Shadowrun shitty fps with a sandbox strapped on top of it.

 

[waken]

That Braindance stuff looks tedious af, like Witcher senses x10. Is it too much to ask for an ARPG to just have fun combat and to skip all these pointless minigames?

 

[FranticDistortion]

Codexians threatening to shoot women, some things never change.

 

[ckmishn]

Anytime I see a trailer for CP2077 I think "this game may be decent."

Anytime I see media coverage of said trailer I think "damn it, this game is going to suck, isn't it?"

Trailer is awfull but popamole is good for initial sales, rpg elements are good for long term sales. I am probably low key delusional since I want a good Cyberpunk rpg after Shadowrun Dragonfall but it is very possible that there is some good stuff in there they are not showing.
If you look at the trailers for Fallout New Vegas, which is an incline shooty rpg in my book, the trailers are certainly better, since they focus on weapon diversity and odd scenarios next to guns and explosions aswell, but they dont scream hardcore rpg either.

 

[aris]

cyperpunk, moar like cybergta amiriteguys??

 

[Trojan_generic]

I suppose it's the same as always: the more you show your game before publishing it, the more the audience will affect the result, proportionally increasing the shittiness of the game when published.

 

[Dukeblack]

I like it.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

So every cyberpunk setting needs to be full of depressed people to hammer the point home that it’s a „horrible future“? Come on, this is SJW level logic.

On the contrary, watching people having a good time in a dystopian world is exactly what makes it even more nightmarish.

This is not really a specific defense of CP2077, which I think will be shit, but I think your point and it’s implications for the cyberpunk genre are wrong.

Cool story bro. Go read some Gibson

Cyberpunk worlds are dark and depressing by definition, they aren't college field trips to Jersey shore. If it's not dark and moody it's not punk, but plain modern futurism (like C2077). Have you read any cyberpunk works that weren't grim?

The ability to comprehend misery comes with age.

I used to read Chandler's stories and books in high school and thought they were cool. Now I read them at twice the age I was the first time, and I see they are bleak.

By chance I watched one of the movies where Gibson wrote the screenplay last night. Indeed it was emanating more noir mood than the game has so far in its trailers, but don't forget trailers are meant to promote. The dramatic and the misery will still be featured, this is CDPR.

Less serious cyberpunk decided to disconnect from whiny edgelord retards like you and is labeled as postcyberpunk (transmetropolitan, remember me, etc), which Cyberpunk 2077 does not fit into.

Punk doesn't stand for dark and grim by the way, you triple retard.

 

[luj1]

It doesn't, it stands for raw and gritty. Cyberpunk though *is* dark and grim, in the same way you are a rampaging homosexual.

 

[Israfael]

I wonder how people deluded themselves in believing this will be an RPG, and not GTA with cyber-schlong and vegana, consdering the budget and aspirations of CDPR. Unbelievable In addition, it's hilarious to see how the graphix-tards on mainstream Russian tech-related or gaming sites are now going ballistic with the graphical downgrades they see (not sure if it's there, as I never really paid attention to the CyberGTA marketing), it's just a thing to watch and behold

 

[AwesomeButton]

I would ask what graphics downgrade do they mean, but I'm sure no one has any idea, apart from "there are fewer NPCs in the latest footage".

 

[SausageInYourFace]

So every cyberpunk setting needs to be full of depressed people

Cyberpunk by most definitions is "high tech, low life" so cyberpunk with no low life aspect wouldn't really be cyberpunk at all.
