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

[Saerain]

I think what Lacrymas and MasPingon are getting at is resleeving: uploading minds into new bodies. With Johnny rumored (or by V known) to have uploaded himself and Arasaka rumored to have done the same, they're just barely a step removed from this theme anyway.

HR is a finest example of cargo cult and not understanding the issue at all. Who will benefit from augs? Professional soldiers, cops maybe, crippled and deformed - i.e., those who need augs in their field of work and those who need replacement limbs and organs. Your average office hamster won't be getting himself a robotic arm or a pair of augmented eyes.

You underestimate the possible demand for augments.
Many office workers have very sub-optimal eyes. Them getting a pair of superior augmented eyes would make sense. Neural implants could be also quite useful for such people.
It would be realistic for much, if not most of the population to be interested at least in the smaller, less visible augs.

Lol, imagine paying 100k to have augmented eyes so you can work in Excel even better.

yeah but we're not talking a $1,000 iphone here. Getting auged would costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and require years of maintenance. That's why it doesn't make sense to have the poor with them.

You're wrong about the premise:

I'll give pondsmith credit for at least acknowledging the argument. Anyway as much as I may not agree with it and I never felt right about it with CP2020 I understand at least his vision for it and I mean lets face it he does have a unique world if flawed. As much as we can fault CDProjekt it is in the end pondsmith's vision that is the problem and always has been because his version of Cyberpunk is different to the norm. I feel it takes the fun out of it a bit. But we'll see how it translates. It's an interesting topic anyway but I make it clear that I'm in favour and biased as hell to the Deus Ex way of doing things. Deus Ex is more religiously purist to Gibson's own definitions whereas Pondsmith's throws them completely out and it really shows.

Would this be the most pirated game after GTA V?

Possibly, not many high-budget GTA clones coming out these days.

I used to have those exact headphones but I got pissed and threw them against the wall and they broke into pieces
too fragile

but now I know I once wore the same headphones as the great keanu reaves

Also, if you replace your body, can you just as easily replace your soul?

I doubt that Cyberpunk 2077 deals with such metaphysical issues as the supposed existence of a 'soul'.

By soul, I mean the totality of everything that makes you you. Replaceable bodies, replaceable humans, replaceable souls, replaceable you. Transference of consciousness is also a good theme.

Top selling game 3 weeks before release and they wont have drm so its gonna get pirated A LOT.

 

[ADL]

they should've gotten Trent Reznor to do something for this

At least got Ilan Rubin. I didn't know he was involved but just saw him on the stream.

Fair enough.

 

[Infinitron]

Oh boy, there are going to be new previews.

 

[ADL]

Until now I was feeling pretty unsure about how this follows up on 2013/2020 but now I'm 1000x more interested in this knowing you'll get to see the Arasaka assault via flashbacks and it's a continuation of his rebellion.

Very extensive trailer:

CDPR wiped the floor.

They mentioned a few tracks from the original score dropping somewhere on streaming services for free. I'm going to look for them, unless someone has a link?

People post spotify links in the official discord. I think it's only available on spotify.
