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

People would complain if gunplay effectiveness is based on stats rather than their shooting skills.

Dumb zoomers who haven't played Deus Ex and System Shock (at least SS2) should shut up.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Can someone clarify - there are stats requirements to steal cars, requirements vary by the type of car, but are there stat or skill requirements for even driving the better cars?

I would think so, even the GTA games have had stats for driving and piloting since San Andreas in 2004 that make you drive better.

GTA San Andreas had gun skills that improved with use and affected gunplay.

YOU SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME TO DO? I CITE SAN ANDREAS AS A POSITIVE EXAMPLE OF RPG MECHANICS!

I'd rather see they make it hard to aim your shoot when your shooting stats is low.

I'd rather see they make it hard to aim your shoot when your shooting stats is low.

That's how it's done in proper RPG/FPS hybrids. Gun skill affects your:

- size or crosshair (spread) OR swaying of the sights/optics
- reload speed
- drawing speed
- fixing malfunction speed
- recoil control
- additional mechanics, like akimbo

that will never happen because Tim Cain said so

We don't have this confirmed yet, do we, about character skill controlling accuracy, damage, both or neither one?

I think a good compromise between simulationist and gamist solution would be to decrease the spread when aiming in the torso and increase it when aiming at the head. It can be done but I doubt they would bother.

 

[Quillon]

I liked AP's shooting mechanic, best shooting mechanic for a game that calls itself RPG imo which made you feel the progression throughout the game, its that the game was so janky which made it seem bad. And other shooting mechanics are not so different; there is always bullet spread but when you put a circle instead of cross-air it suddenly becomes "oh no I'm not shooting where I'm pointing at, this is shit reeeee" and hack RPG devs followed suit.

 

[undecaf]

I'm kinda interested to know if they've made anything interesting out of that "smart guns" thing of theirs. Is it (still) just autohitting bullets, or is there any stat/skill involvement there or any other mechanisms at play. It'd be neat if there was a sort of press'n hold target-locking mechanism paired with skill based to-hit-chances. Don't expect anything, but... it'd be neat.

 

[Danikas]

We don't have this confirmed yet, do we, about character skill controlling accuracy, damage, both or neither one?

Senior Level Designer Miles Tost explained that using a weapon in Cyberpunk 2077 increases its proficiency. This increases accuracy, reloading speed, and possibly more. Additionally, these adjustments, incremental though they may be, will also affect the character’s animations. One example Tost provided is that reloading animations will become “smoother” over the course of the experience. Consequently, players will feel as though they’re constantly progressing.



Example of better reload animation from the demo.

Thanks, but I didn't see a difference :D

Ok, she pushed the shells with hand in the second video.

 

[moon knight]

She put one at the time in the first reload, and two bullets at the same time in the second one.

 

[Danikas]

Ye and it was faster if there are 3-4 reload animations for all the weapons that's really cool reminds me of Gothic 1 and 2 where you got better animations as you progressed.

 

[norolim]

Thanks, but I didn't see a difference :D

Ok, she pushed the shells with hand in the second video.

She loads them one by one in the first video and simultaneously in the second. This was two years ago, though. This system may be gone in the latest version of the game. We have to wait for the new demo.

This revolver spin from the new trailer makes me think its still in place and this is the max level you can get with the weapon.

I approve.

CD Projekt Red's hotly anticipated RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will be heavily censored in Japan, according to a new report.

Australian site Press Start reveals that the Japanese version will have several changes made, primarily to address sexually explicit references and the more extreme elements of violence.

For example, underwear will be added to character models that appear naked in all other versions, while billboards and graffiti shaped as genitals will be altered or removed.

There is a more general note observing that CD Projekt Red will "[revise] sexually explicit content" for the Japanese version. This may well include the customisable genitals mentioned in the ESRB rating.

There will also be selected revisions made to the combat and in-game violence, limiting the appearance of "exposed guts" and severing of limbs.

GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to CD Projekt Red for confirmation.

Press Start also confirmed that the Australian version will not be censored at all, despite the nation's historically strict ratings board. Instead, Cyberbpunk 2077 will be released in the region unedited with an age rating of R18+.

Cyberpunk 2077 was due for release on September 17, but has been delayed further to November 19.

In a broadcast last week, CD Projekt Red confirmed both PS4 and Xbox One owners will receive a free upgrade to their respective next-generation versions.

I was hopping they would censor it like in hentai. That would be funny.

Maybe finally the Australian censorship board has caught up with the fact that violence and sex in video games isn't really such a big deal as people who want to play it will play it regardless. Seems Australia is always 10 years behind everyone else in regards to modern technology.

Nah, they just recognized how valuable of a brainwashing tool Cyberpunk 2077 is in spreading leftist ideology.

It's the same reason TLOU2 gets a free pass everywhere in the West, while games with much less extreme content are censored and banned.
