Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Re-Announcement Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[bonescraper]

I generally would like them to stick to the original Cyberpunk 2020 designs. Instead, we get b4d455 iCyborgs of the banal shit boring future. Bah.

IN THE FUTURE:

Police will roll up their sleeves and pop their collars. Because there is no need for dress code... IN THE FUTURE.

500 million man hours to make a shit trailer. That chick is fiiiiiine though, we got a name?

 

[aleph]

Ever since we set out to create it, we knew the promo would work only if the female protagonist engendered a serious emotional response in the viewers and push the aesthetic boundaries of the typical female form.

So she was a playmate, no wonder the CDP RED team picked her

Well technically it was bagniski's studio that did that, but I guess the CDP team approves.

Silicon augmentation detected.

So the cyberchick is actually a Playboy playmate? Wow, these CD Potatos know how to market their shit puree. I know one shouldn't expect much subtlety and class from the guys who made TWitcher and invented Score-a-chick collectible cards game, but... this is a kind of lower low for me.
Fuck, why don't they open a new Cd Projekt Pink branch for it. Then they could do all the kind of in-out-in-out rpgs they want without the need to pretend they're making something "ambitious".

 

[Hellraiser]

Well the choice was probably between either an anorexic tit-less model from a modeling agency or one that has (fake) tits and does porn. There is not much in between on the modeling market to be honest. Unless they wanted to waste time looking for some random college girl that can't pose. But that would be a waste of time and would delay the whole thing (making CGI is already a frustrating race to meet deadlines without having to look for models off the street).

You forget there's no porn market in the Potatoland in the sense of the porn market in Germany, US or other more developed countries. Obviously they would stay away from porn starlets anyway, not wanting to offend the moral authorities etc. Playmate seems both safe choice and makes teens drool. Your point about getting an experienced chick to do the job is valid, but only to a certain extent. Directing models and actresses to do physical things is prettty easy and straightforward job. Hey, they had no-name models for TWitcher 1 and 2 and nobody was complaining! AFAIK, they are the first big firm in the industry to hire a playmate chick. I guess that makes them "innovative"

To get to my point, there are literally tons of chicks in Polish modelling and acting agencies who have tits and would do the job just as well or as bad as she did. After the pollution of X-Factors and Be-A-Top-Models there's more of them than ever. Besides, it only takes proper make-up + lightning to make a princess out of cinderella (not even mentioning CGI). But we all know that it's being Playboy playmate that really counts for CD Potatos.

Come to think of it, they should get Foremniak of the Avalon fame, she's cyborgish even without make-up but I guess she's too old for them to appeal to kids, not to mention a bit more expensive than the playmate.

Concerning the deadlines, man, they had more than half a year to shoot and post-produce 2 minutes of this crap. They seemingly spent 95% of this time thinking about playmates, cyberchicks and tit-marketing - all the essential things that constitute an ambitious rpg.

 

[Hellraiser]

Well technically only one member of the CDP RED team, the already mentioned concept artist Robert Adler, was working on this. The rest was Bagniski's studio. CDP RED proper was working on the actual game. Sure, they probably had input but it's not like they were constantly standing behind the chairs in Baginski's studio staring at tits rather than working on the game. It is debatable whether or not this CGI was actually needed and worth the money though.

 

[Mabuse]

Yeah. Well, I was never a fan of Baginski's work. He's a brilliant tech guy, but he sucks a major dick as a director.

BTW, I don't want to sweeten you mate, but if they had in all of their cyberpunk stuff published to date a quarter of the mood and cyberpunk essence that is present in your Europareich thread, there would be some hope for this project. On the other hand, I guess there's not enough boobs and sex scenes in your CYOA to make it *truly mature* experience

They probably got Adler because he had drawn a prequel (or was it a sequel?) to Blade Runner a couple of years ago for US publisher. It was ok from what I remember. If you're into comics, you should read Moebius' and O'Bannon's The Long Tomorrow, if you haven't already. That's the comic that visually defined cyberpunk, Blade Runners and all, at least thats what they say. Moebius was a demon in human form. Enki Bilal is properly cyberpunkish at times, too.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The Breakoff and 48 hours Adler?

 

[Mabuse]

You mean 48 pages Yup, the same one. I reckon there's no room for having other Adler on Potatoland's comic market :/

 

[Darth Roxor]

at least they didn't use natalia siwiec

This. I think the Long Tomorrow was first for defining the futuristic Cityscape look but it later got developed in Incal and his other stuff. This guy was a Titan, people do not realize how big his influence is on our vision of how "futuristic look" looks when we try to imagine it. Besides, Dune, Alien, Blade Runner aesthetics is his work.

And the chick's not bad, she has good legs and a pretty face (like '80 kind of pretty with prominent lips), and the tits are not overdone. We're talking body augmentation here so it fits the theme well ffs.

Edit: There was this cyberpunkish comix by Adler & Piątkowski printed in parts in Reset.

That's not puritanism but rather feminism all this talk about straight sex and nudity objectifying womyn and all this shit, personally I take tits over homo marriages in Skyrim and all this furr-faggotery in new Bio games. Not to mention you're never forced to do any of those chicks in TWitcher unlike western games when you're molested by fags and Xenos all the time.

But he wasn't an American, therefore it doesn't count. Filthy french.

The encounter between Geralt and Triss in the transition between chapters 2 and 3 is mandatory because it happens in a cutscene.

 

[Mabuse]

of you and the people who find that non-ofensive to them. I guess it just tells few unpleasant things about both CD Projekt and people who find it cool and not cheesy or distasteful.

FYI, I'm not looking at this from feministic point of view. Also, straight or gay - in games it's the same thing to me. Potayto, potahto. Perhaps if it wasn't so pretentious, cheesy, badly written *scoring* cliche, I wouldn't mind. But it is.

It simply offends my intelligence. Offends me as a thinking sapien and offends me as a rpg gamer.
Remember, Twitcher was marketed as a game for adults. Knowing the books it was based on, I was expecting a mature game. Instead, I got a poorly written cheesy one.

The sex cutscenes are juvenile and awkwardly directed, and the score-a-chick cards... just pathetic. Firstly, I'm offended by their presence in medieval fantasy world, because they don't belong there. Sure, historic cultures (Greeks, Romans, medieval Japanese or Europeans etc) had lots of their low-brow erotica and porn, but it was all real deal. In Twitcher, we have this specific medieval Slavic-inspired fantasy setting, all this lore that was created by Sapkowski. And all of a sudden, playboy playmates dressed in fantasy/medieval costumes appear to break the spell. Some folks here may think otherwise, but IMO, the proper place for playmates and their silicon implants (cyberpunkish or not) is in Playboy. NOT in rpg game.

Besides, hentai games are infinitely better in all the sex aspects***, because they are designed with bashing the bishop in mind.

Last but not least, I'm offended by the fact that the Witcher, instead of being monster, suddenly gets out of the role and becomes a pussy collector. He had sex in Sapkowski's books, but he certainly didn't score them in dozens and didn't pull trophy cards out of their vaginas like in Cd Potatoes' masterpiece.

I see this as exploitaition of players, because it feeds on their lower, animal instincts (which can be lots of fun in RL, but still they are lowerrrr!), instead of feeding on their...wait for it... IMAGINATION! Which, at some point in history of rpgs (and humankind in general) was a cool and important thing to have. Really, it was! Ask your grandpa if you don't believe me.

In short:
These kind of boobie treats (or rather boobietraps) by CD Potatoes and other Biowares are made specifically for teenage virgins who somehow cannot into redtube.
Me, sadly, I'm neither a virgin nor a teenager anymore. Therefore, CD RedPotatoes, among other infamous rpg devs, are a major for me, as well as for the other, let's say, enlightened (heheh) ones. And also for those blind masses of consoletards who fail to see the emperor has no (proper rpg) clothes and all his tits are digital.

Of course I didn't mention the other, more important stuff in Cd Potatoes' games which they did wrong, but that's another tale of misery and RPG impotence, and it was told here on Codex many times already.


I know there's no going back to 1990s "sensibility" but hey folks... grandpa Fallout showed everyone how to do *IT* both funny and sensibly. Don't go all graphic, real time and slo-mo, unless there's a VERY GOOD reason**** for it, or unless you're making a hentai game. Just...
"Before you fuck, fade to black".*****
Ya hear me, CD Potatoes and their followers? Because you know, fading to black leaves something to, uh, pardon my French, imagination.

So I guess now all of you card collectors get my point



*** Fuck, when I think of it, Bible Black, probably the only (?) hentai porn game I've ever played, had more alternative endings than two Twitchers combinded! And it wasn't that much more linear. Kinda sad...unless you're a hentai otaku.

**** like: OMG this cyberchick has a boobietrap in her silicon implant I better pull out my...KABOOOOOM!!!

*****not sure if it'll work so good in RL :D

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Mabuse, you know what is fucked up? You're write exactly the same way as several other different potatoes that I have seen on the internets, including the KKKodex. It's like there are several different dudes with exactly the same personality. What part of Poland are you from? Do they have more people like you?
What is your MBTI personality type?

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

Doesn't the original Twitcher basically have fade-to-black scenes, aside from the cards? Yes, maybe cheesy and perhaps not the best way to handle it, but I believe that was corrected in the second game.

I don't have a problem with Twitcher 'romances' because they're not the main appeal of the game anyway. I think that holding video games up to the standard of either [not having sex in them at all because it's 'not relevant to the plot'] or something to the extent of [making it a porno if sex is featured in any way] is somewhat of a black & white view. You have romance subplots in other media that have only a passing relevance to the main plot, yet people are generally OK with those in moderation. You don't usually go to watch a superhero movie, for example, for the romance subplots, just as the card collecting minigame isn't the main appeal of Twitcher 1 in the first place.

Most people probably didn't watch The Room due to its romantic elements either.
