I hope in next Night City Wire they will show settings menus and showcase different graphics options. I expect next episode will release 7 days before release so it would be perfect moment to talk about technicalities for PC version.

Those facial animations looks next-gen as fuck, smooth and solid, and the eye/eyebrow stuff really makes it come to life. I'm always facinated by animation and animatronics and how far we've come

Makes me wonder if we'll see Bloodlines' life like dialogs finally get topped.
Facial animations do look better (which shouldn't come as a surprise considering the 16 years difference in technology and much bigger budget), but in case of Bloodlines facial animations were working as a support to the good writing and good voice acting; how good the writing is in CP77 is still a question. If it's shit, no cutting edge animations will save them.

If you think Bloodlines has more "life like" facial animations than Witcher 3 did then you might have Asperger's.

Yeah, I watched some cutscenes recently from Bloodlines, and although it still has better facial animations than most games today, I also realized that it is worse than I remembered it.

Bloodlines facial animations definitely don't look real or anything like that. The great thing about them is that they really brought the characters to life, it felt like they acted. Overacted in some cases, but that fit the characters and tone of the game. I think they're still wonderful to look at, and they are pretty damn impressive for the time the game was released, especially given the troubled development.

The characters, with their animations, writing, voiceacting and overall design, are a pretty big part of what makes Bloodlines memorable.

The graphical quality of the major characters was insane for the time.

I really hope this game doesn't suck, and delivers on the hype. I have yet to see many games that were in a very long development cycle with developers making lots of promises to ever actually live up to people's expectations.

There's no way they'll deliver on the frenzy people (Reddit in particular) have wanked themselves into over this game.

It'll probably be decent enough, but it won't break boundaries like people think it will. Still, people online will tell themselves and each other for a good few months that it's "revolutionary", "game changing", "a new bar" etc.

Then after 6 months or so the dissidents will start appearing on YT.

Every game is celebrated as a masterpiece initially these days. The actual reception of it measured by how long it takes before dissidents start speaking up on youtube to let drones know critique has become acceptable now.

That's how you know Outer Worlds was bad, it only took a couple weeks before people started saying bad things about it.

Its so dumb how people love to hype a fucking video game before its out, and will fight you if you dare criticize any aspect of it, essentially becoming corporate shills lol.

And what promises did they make? Seriously, if anything they've been cutting features left and right, what's there even left new and revolutionary?

I guess the amount of art assests they've been able to put in the world and how fleshed out the city will be is kinda exciting, but then again Rdr 2 has already created such AAAAA world that i doubt they will be able to beat.

Never seen before C&C? Did they promise that? They are going out of their way not to show anything exciting gameplay wise for some reason.

Uh.. might I remind you where we are?

He is right though. If we agree that it's dumb to be a fanboy or whatever, the only logical conclusion is that it's equally dumb to be a hater.

edit: Actually, it's even dumber to be a hater, as hater is someone who feels an irresistible urge to scream "God damn, I hate those fucks, they can go fuck themselves, I won't touch this shit!" to everyone around. Therefore: fanboy trumps a hater 100% of the time.
