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

EDIT: Seriously, I can't think of a better band to play Samurai

I liked yesteryear's chippin in better but apparently we're supposed to forget about it.

Tho I'm warming up to this now listening on high volume.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

It's a perfect blend of 80s stadium metal and Refused style hardcore punk. Add to that the swedish antiestablishment liberalism of Refused and it's a perfect match.

I can't speak to its accuracy, but someone translated a news article about CDPR's future plans, and they have Cyberpunk multiplayer, another Cyberpunk AAA and a Cyberpunk "project" in the wings. The AAA RPG they wanted out before 2021 is also going to be Cyberpunk.

But that means no Witcher 4. That is really, really bad.

I'm not, it's some new metal shit, last year one was nice. Fortunately I somehow don't care much about this game, most of what was shown was kinda meh, this music included.

 

[Zer0wing]

If you're afraid of heavy metal, you're a pussy and no cyberdong will help you.

As for Refuseds work, it lacks the punch in the mix for some reason. Drums are the problem, too weak. Riffing is alright but switching from one to another is too abrupt.
These punks should take more (thousand) lessons from Prog. Metal bands.

 

[S.torch]

Nobody is afraid of nothing, just saying that the theme is lame. Screaming and smashing instruments is hardly music.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

I liked the version you hear at the end of the gameplay reveal more.

 

[Zer0wing]

Meh, not really that good. I mean, composition is decent but toothless corporate rock, the vocal totally kills it. It's not mean and doesn't scream PROTEST.

I was a metalhead as a kid, but got bored when I grew up and rarely listen to it currently, but I don't mind some metal in the soundtracks when it fits.
Some soft new metal doesn't scream protest to me either, but it's a better choice for marketing to younger generation I guess.

 

[Zer0wing]

To an extend it's valid. I personally wanted protest screaming better - combined with truly masterful compositioning and skill as opposed to mainstream corpo "metal" -

Spoiler

or even more grind

But this -

Hoiler than thou electronic elitism (no other music fanbase is this contrarian) kills your message. Holiers and elitists are pussies, period.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

It's not like Refused are an actual far left protest band that is considered to be highly influential with their post hardcore sound...

It's not like Samurai are supposed to be an anti corpo protest band that is considered to be highly influential in Cyberpunk world...

 

[Whipped Cream]

By the way, I'm surprised that noone seams to have mentioned this anywhere, but I'm about 80% certain that the song that is 26 min. into last years gameplay video is sung by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. Its kind of hard to hear, because you can only hear the song in the background, so I'm not completely shure, but it sounds extremely similar to him.

 

[luj1]

how a single player focused RPG will benefit from useless multiplayer elements?

Stop calling it an RPG and it will ease your pain. The creators themselves dubbed it an action-adventure anyway...

 

[luj1]

Multiplayer in CP2077 is old, old news. They were already talking about it in 2013.

No one is saying it's new you stunted cretin, doesn't mean it's good. Nice spin tho

 

[norolim]

Yeah, Refused are a bunch of filthy, Marx loving communists.

The song is OK, though.

CD Projekt says it's not actually working on multiple Cyberpunk games
Google Translate does it again.

CD Projekt says that despite what you may have read today on the internet, it is not currently working on multiple Cyberpunk games.

The report emerged from Polish site Bankier.pl, which quoted CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński as saying, "We're working on three Cyberpunk things—over the main game and over two more." But the quote came via Google Translate, and as you can see things were a little bit mangled coming out the other end, which led to confusion.

"We currently have a total of five teams working on a number of projects, with three focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077. These include CD Projekt Red Warsaw and Kraków, who are handling the main game, as well as the Wrocław studio, where around 40 industry specialists are engaged in technology R&D," a CD Projekt rep said in an email.

"A separate, dedicated team at the Warsaw studio is handling the development of Gwent. The final team is Spokko, which is currently working on a yet unannounced mobile project."

CD Projekt has also previously expressed an interest in major, Witcher 3-style expansions for Cyberpunk 2077, which will presumably extend the overall development effort on the game even further out. So while a Cyber-sequel is virtually assured, reports that the wheels are already turning on it appear to be off-base.

Cyberpunk 2077 comes out on on April 16, 2020. The first hit single, Chippin' In, is out now.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

Yeah, Refused are a bunch of filthy, Marx loving communists.

The song is OK, though.

So are Samurai, which is why it works.

 

[norolim]

I don't know CB 2020 lore enough to be sure, but weren't they just anti system?

 

[Gerrard]

Multiplayer in CP2077 is old old news. They were already talking about it in 2013.

You wanna list some other things that they were talking about in 2013 that are going to be in the final game? Probably won;t be a very long list.

They'll reintroduce classes, all the classes and more in Cyberpunk MMO. F2P and riddled with microtransactions for cosmetics, RP servers etc. "Gather your crew! See you in Afterlife!"...Mike Pondsmith will say, as an in-game bartender. True story.

You mean they're all transgender, non-binary and believe in Communism?

 

[typical user]

Communism ended on Kill 'em all.

In my country the elgeebeetees were very safe during communism, there was a special prison block reserved for them, nobody could touch them there. Their only inconvenience was mandatory "aversive" therapy, something akin to Alex' therapy in Clockwork Orange.
