Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Vityaz]

TBH, I miss car customization much more than I would miss the subway. I don't find myself using the subway often in GTA. It's worth weighing the options though - do you prefer to cut a feature or to leave it in but half-assed?

I guess for the subway to be integrated properly as a system and as an area of the city it would have to be referenced by characters, maybe have gangs and their activities which would be related to it...?

Car customization sounds like something they might bring back with (free?) DLC imho, if Witcher 3 post-release content is anything to go by.

Subway on the other hand might be a bit more complicated...

Depends on how they have modded versions of the same car model implemented currently. If the implementation is that they are already modular, then I see adding car customization as more probable, but if they don't have the foundation of the system yet, I really doubt they would retroactively insert it and replace cars all around the game with the new objects. Sounds like a big refactoring, but who knows. It's a question for an interview.

I find it weird no previewer asked CDPR or gave opinion about if "style" really matters. Will NPCs react to what V is wearing/what visible augs installed etc?

 

[Silverfish]

each day till november there will be an article what feature they've removed
in the end you wont even be able to walk or shoot, just watch some cutscenes

Unless you preorder, then you can get the blank disc edition.

It works like teleport stones, you press on a terminal and teleport. They cut metro as a physical element so you can't ride around the tunnels like in GTA.

This makes sense, considering that subway is pretty fixed when it comes to travelling, as opposed to driving a car. Unless they can make subway more meaningful I don't think people are really losing much by having subway work as teleport (save maybe for the atmosphere).

Back in 2013 they said they had cool ideas for wardrobe&style skill, but that’s ancient history and this is not the same game they set out to do then. My quess is you might get random comments from certain NPC’s, but that’s about it.

So they cut car customization, subway, wall running - but decided to double down on boring W3 sense 2.0, aka "braindance". This deal is getting worse all the time.

Well they jerked off to "style & substance" for a while last year... and they & mike pondsmith emphasized importance of style for the genre/IP many times :/

I’m almost certain this is something you’ll get as a DLC; probably even for free (as per how they did with Twitcher3) so they can gloat about how good they are to their customers.

Yeah, I know. It is a bit puzzling, but somehow I don’t think ”style” here is more than ”cool(tm)” looking jackets with a small streetcred bonus.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

I could swear I watched one video preview where style came up. At the least I'd guess it effects your "Cool" stat. I think it was also supposed to act similar to how what you wear in GTA San Andreas will effect how NPC react to you in different locations.

let's cram as much shit into our game so it will crumble under its weight, then remove already announced and advertised features because they don't fit and because we've ran out of time.

All cynicism aside, wallrunning removal was hit right into the gut - CDPR could mix wallrunning with melee and unarmed combat to spice this crap up akin to Mirror's Edge: Catalyst kind.

The wall running going seems like a weird cut. While not everyone that's seen the game has been so hot on the shooting, (even still) the wall running (mixed with melee) seemed to be a aspect they did like.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Could enemy NPCs do it too?

And it's STILL gonna be goty 2020.

 

[Daedalos]

As one previewer noted, it's weird how much costumization there is on your actual character, and how little you actually get to see yourself in the world with those choices, and how its reflected back to you.

Why would you spend such a long time costumizing shit, if it never really ends up being used or portrayed to the player throughtout the game?

The answer is here:

 

[Kaivokz]

I find it a little alarming that such significant cuts are being announced so close to release. Can't imagine what other seemingly innocent cuts will accumulate by November.

I can tell you what they won't cut:
8================>

That’s already an option at char creation.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Could enemy NPCs do it too?

I can't remember if anyone said the enemies did it too, and I think they really only showed the player doing it in footage. But the wall running with the blade arm attacks seemed to be something people that saw the earlier version were a fan of.

Related to Cyberpunk's performance on PC, DLSS2.0 is likely going to be people's saving grace at resolutions above 1440p unless you spent a thousand dollars on a GPU.

I wonder why cutting subways seems to be a problem for some. They would be nice for immersion, but beyond that wouldn't really add anything to gameplay (considering fast travel + car summoning options). Being disappointed about no more wall running i understand since this actually changes the options you have ingame...

Obviously your penis size and type will determine the ending

 

[Tavar]

I'd have considered the vast majority of codexians as much too cynical to believe anything shown in previews. Guess I was wrong. Personally, I haven't paid enough attention to the game over the years to even remember what was promised.
