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

Streamers are going to be in the game!

Can't wait for next week when they unveil Cyberpunk 2077 deodorant.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

So we can kill them?

One of the first mods out will make killilling there characters possible if it's not already possible.

So far it looks like RPG GTA set in dystopian and dark future, and i am very happy with what i saw. If the stories are at least as complex and interesting as in Witcher III, it should be a great game. I will not preorder out of principle, but i will buy this game on release.

Clearly, it was a higher priority to get Jesse Cox's flabby cheeks modelled properly than it was to utilize that budget to put the decades-old issue of the same 5 models recycled ad-nauseam to bed.

One choice gets you some marketing buzz pre-release, the other the players are stuck with for the duration of their combined playthroughs. So until the heat death of the universe if this sells what they need it to sell.

 

[Danikas]

This game looks good graphic-wise. Else? Is it RPG at all?

Disco Elysium won codex goty anything goes motherfucker.

Tbh I'm not too familiar with Imaishi's work pre 21st century but I think they are more in the vein of Gurren Lagann and Kanada influenced works in general. He's though one of the greatest animators to ever live in my opinion.

Check out the short movie "Dead Leaves" that was directed by Imaishi. Imaishi definitely knows how to do some cyberpunk type shit.

spongy enemies, Borderlands-like combat, sub-Destiny shooting,

this was always my biggest worry since the first gameplay reveals, enemies having their level above their head alongside the health bar made me really sad

I always prefered NOT knowing how much damage it takes to kill an enemy, these you are supposed to figure out organically as you play the game...

 

[Dodo1610]

They can be deactivated we have known this for years!

So we can't have Perturbator. But we can have one of Total Biscuits old and long since irrelevant hangers-on instead. OK.

 

[typical user]

Jeez I only went outside for 15 minutes and already 4 more pages in this thread.

OK so what I've heard and seen so far:
-ranged combat could use more pronounced weapon wobble, I suppose they went for cyborg-feel with almost no recoil but even Doom Eternal has a weapon wobble
-driving feels like Watch Dogs, dunno since only video slices show player-driven cars with low constant speed
-no sense of speed in cars but in GTA V cars have very low vmax and devs added screen-shake to make it feel fast, I was surprised in FPP I had more control while driving
-melee looks stiff, again animations need to be more smooth, less video-like but maybe it was caused by YT compressing and 30 fps, hitbox collisions are "in-your-face"
-traffic and pedestrian activity is unnatural increasing closer only in Hub areas, maybe it has something to do with optimazation?
-cars lack randomness, seriously it's easy to fix if you navmesh more routes and attach RNG function but again I believe only what vidya journo said
-same thing as GTA, a fence won't stop your car but that one tree or lamppost will, suppose again they couldn't optimize it and attach breakable objects everywhere
-UI inventory is a mess like 1.0 Witcher 3 mess, will probably be fixed after game's release just like in Witcher 3

+huge customization options but relies on sliders, from many bad things Fallout 4 had great character creator - very easy to change your character looks on the fly with no sliders
+world design, this is something that sold for me, the lore and all the references to Cyberpunk franchise are pouring from the screen, you can see it's being made by Mike Pondsmith
+characters, they sound cliche but in a good way, like straight from 90s movies, instead of cringe it made me smile under the nose from the lines I expected but were delivered just right
+presumably huge RPG customization, many perk, cyberware slots and all that jazz
+story so far looks good, I expected Jackie gets vented right at the start but it actually happens later on so he has some development time which is good
+again the world design, I noticed HUD looks different if you start off as a Corpo, you can see Arasaka logo in the corner of your screen and stock market changes in the other


So the game will be wooden but all the good elements are still good in my book. I think Cyberpunk 2077 might deliver even with such hype since that's what is being hyped, a great story and good-enough driving/combat. You might say I try to rationalize that this game has issues and you are probably right. Still the biggest offender in Witcher 3 for me was lack of stats development, meanigless equipment, places-of-nterest and retarded leveling. If they fixed those then - I hope - I won't have much to complain.

Aside from graphics/cinematics, what this game has to offer?

A single playthrough, maybe 2 with mods?

Has this already been posted?

No commentary gameplay:

Regarding performance, I'm really glad they delayed to November as it gives me time to get a high-end Ampere/RDNA2 GPU.
So the game was likely internally running anywhere from 540-720p and being upscaled with DLSS2.0's machine learning filling in the gaps but that's fine, DLSS2.0's 540p looks better than 1080p native.

New GPUs are rumored to only take a 10ish% hit when enabling ray tracing effects. RTX early adopters got fucked on that but DLSS's tech wizardry will save them on that.

Can confirm. Control with full RTX features dips below 60 on my 2080 Super, with DLSS enabled it looks sharper and never falls below that. This shit is magic.

uploaded video from that tumbr cancer:

Why does it always seem with these 1st person games today that you're walking through molasses?!

 

[ChildInTime]

I don't like the default girl. Will definitely make something prettier.

A single playthrough, maybe 2 with mods?

I don't deny, this game looks gorgeous. But behind all this awesomeness I see hundreds of people working their asses off to deliver eye candy: budget is high, risk of commercial failure can ruin the company. Therefore, game should be made as safe as possible: it should sale well. Nothing fancy, nothing experimental, nothing too deep - cater to as wide audience as possible. TW3 already went this way and succeeded. People like eye candy, and will play it solely because of its graphics - hell, it is evident even in this very thread on this "prestigious" site. Maybe its my tastes, but I fail to understand the desire to play something solely because of its graphics.

 

[GhostCow]

Because graphical progress is exciting and with PC being held back by consoles for so long anything that can push our systems is fun for people who want to see how far they can take them. It's not like we ever get anything like the original Crysis anymore.

I know mate and I agree 1000%... I was always in the "gameplay is king" boat and hated the focus on graphics. I think older games were better because gameplay was more important than looks. The problem is that the market expanded but the gameplay never improved (the opposite happened).

 

[Terenty]

The writing is complete shit in these snippets. I especially liked the two twins that dumped a 10 minutes long exposition on you about their super cool upgrades etc.

And stop posting bullshots please, the game doesn't look anywhere near that good
