"Explore the modern cities of Poland and immerse yourself in a dramatic game of spies, dirty politics, potatoes and QTEs. Use a wide variety of firearms to achieve your goals. Become and elf, a dwarf and remove the final traces of orcs from Warsaw."

So, according to potato sources, this graphic has been released as a teaser for zhis new gamu. Looks like cyberpunk (quite literally)

Looking cool, I guess. Just tired of this "this is cyberpunk so everyone must wear a mohawk" shtick.

I think that's the point. To show in one graphic that this is cyberpunk. Corporations rulling the world, cyberimplants, etc.

Not that I dont like the image, as said its cool, but what about being a bit original instead of having checklist of things that mus be in a picture to make it look some brand?

Depends. How would you make a "to-leak" graphic? So people would know what the game is about?

I would have given the guy a different haircut for a start. :P But let's drop it, the image is cool and I was just ranting. :)

Looks neiz, hope it's about street gangs in post-ITZ Warsaw instead of a Desu Ex wannabe.
I hope they won't go the way of Afterfall Insanity. Cyber- Pilsudski, cyber- Chopin or thing like that, along with some other more or less subtle manifestation of potatoish inferiority complex. Shitty popamoles filled with red and white potatos are not only bad but also awkward.

Well, i'm mildly interested. They make shitty RPGs, but fairly decent games. And a decent cyberpunk game is always welcome in my book.

I hope they're better at making shooters than they are at slashers. They'd have to be big screw-ups not to be, fun melee-combat is difficult.

Regardless of the quality of the game, every fucking potato on these boards with more patriotism than taste is going to be sucking CD Projekt's dick.

It's not just the internet fanboys either. The Polish government literally gave a copy of The Witcher 2 to the President of the United States. It's all they have.

I was hoping for a moment it will be Steampunk/Victorian setting. Oh well, not surprised. I was deluding myself. Anyway, cyberpunk is not bad at all. I just hope it will be more "dirty" than Desu Ex. Would love to see it more gloomy and muddy with proper future slums locations, drugs, whores, deviants etc. More like this:

The only way we would see a interesting sf setting in a game is to get a good writer, But in order to have good gameplay the setting will be limited making far future settings which I'd like to see, is harder to work with.

Will there be dildos? This being the future. Maybe futureGeralt could wield a silver-colored giant dildo and another dildo. And then have a really flexible transparent neon double-ended dildo for hacking and a small buttplug for thrusting. He should also wear leather assless chaps.

It'll probably involve a single binary Humans vs Artificial humans choice that ends up not really changing that much.

looks like they're getting in on DX HR's wake, "oh so people are p. okay with cyberpunk now eh well then moving the tech level up shouldn't be unwelcoming'

I hope they go the whole route with advanced cyberware, wetware and full on body shape changing combat mods and a useful data grid of the immediate environment as opposed to the newshit Syndicate that pops up an info card telling you a potted plant is a potted plant in some retarded semblance of live tactical feedback

also hoverboards

hoverboards are a must

perhaps to send the dystopian atmosphere home they can put in a reference saying that the potato plant has gone extinct
