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

[KK1001]

The game will be hit with a decent-sized downgrade and end up running at 20-25 FPS at 4k on the next gen systems, and around the same at 1080p.

PC will still get more bells and whistles, but I'm talking a downgrade in terms of the size, scope, AI, quest design of the game. The best hope is that they are confident enough to just push it to the new systems only, which would require a delay to mid-2020.

consoles need to die for the good of gaming

[moon knight]

good luck with 4k on the xbox toaster etc

It's not that they are force to run it in 4k on this current gen consoles.

 

[Dexter]

some people are mad about something

This all seems like a really promising first step towards a mass triggering:

 

[Dexter]

Might we yet be looking forward to a Cyberpunk free of these
?

That's a very strange thing to say does she/it often come across Latin speakers.

Deus vult bitch !

Fuck this people. They don't matter.

In earlier times these people would have been burnt as witches,deviants and heretics and rightly so.

The hilarious part is that the interview which launched this triggering clearly states that the POLISH writer "strugged for words" in trying to describe it. If given more time to think, he could have used worms as transhuman or inhuman or something else. But of course, context and details don't matter when we can have a good old circle-jerk of outrage.

 

[Neanderthal]

Body horror has always been a part of Cyberpunk, since beginning, and when you're just a brain, a spinal cord, and a pair of eyes, with everything else replaced by cyberware...well it's gonna affect you mentally and your idea of what it is to be human.

I mean fuck i'm missing an eye and have a shit load o metal holding me together, and that's affected me. Interesting to explore, especially as a Netrunner, living on the Net while just existing in reality.

Still outrage is still attention, all good for CDPR.

Oh there were a religious cult in old Cyberpunk who'd hunt down cyberwared folk on street and rip out their augs, wait 'til they get a load o them judging em.

 

[fantadomat]

The more i read/watch things about this game,the more hype i loose. More interested in some indi rpg than this game. Could be cool,but we will see at release.

These people are crazy. He used the sacred/profane dichotomy because it fits, but god forbid anybody on Twitter read Durkheim...

Spoiler

The sacred–profane dichotomy is an idea posited by French sociologist Émile Durkheim, who considered it to be the central characteristic of religion: "religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbidden."[1] In Durkheim's theory, the sacred represented the interests of the group, especially unity, which were embodied in sacred group symbols, or totems. The profane, on the other hand, involved mundane individual concerns. Durkheim explicitly stated that the sacred–profane dichotomy was not equivalent to good/evil. The sacred could be good or evil, and the profane could be either as well.[2]

Cyberpunk bodies are just meat and metal. Once you’re full of replaceable parts, those bits obviously lose their old metaphysical dimension. That’s the point.

Exactly. The presentation overestimated the audience's education. But then again, when you are trying to get something through the heads of people calling them selves "trans-person lesbian", the task is already very difficult.

on the other hand, i find it kinda infuriating that most of transhumanism is shown by replacing body parts, when with that kind of technology, you probably can enhance and augment instead of replacing. why settle for 2 metallic arms when you can have 4 arms installed on top of your biological arm?

for example this cybernetic extra thumb already exist:
https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/design/a27219/the-third-thumb-power-boost/

it's controlled by a controller but in 50 years, we probably can make a non intrusive extra limbs and organs that's basically plug and play, and human brain can probably adapt to the extra stuff. for example, with some training, a blind person can totally navigate with this electronic sensor vest that vibrate in response of environment:
https://www.livescience.com/48760-vibrating-vest-blind-navigation.html

it's like learning a new language with your sense of touch, imagine in 2077 we could make stuff similar to this that allow us in a way to sense wi-fi signal, magnetic field, even built-in GPS navigation, with need minimum invasive procedure. you probably, at most need some kind of implant that connect your brain and nerve so it can trade information in higher bandwith than your usual electromagnetic helm sensor.

Forget the vest, blind people can see with this device that connects a forehead camera with a bunch of electrodes on the tongue. They basically train your taste neurons to transmit visual data. Right now you don’t get very good definition—only a few hundred pixels—but that’s still a lot better than nothing. And the tech keeps getting better. Ten years from now I bet they’ll be able to do this in 1080p.

It’s called the Brainport and it’s been on the market since 2015.

Extra limbs wouldn't be stylish, it should be in somewhat familiar weird territory. If they'd make spider-like people with many arms & legs crawling around, I'd say fuck your fantasy

I don't think CD Projekt Red will succumb to media and Twitter crybabies unlike other developers/publishers.

The caveat though is that implementing this in an actual fun way is very hard to do. I know of no game which did mental instability well enough to warrant it being a major part of the game. Eternal Darkness had mental deterioration but it got old really fast and was only "fun" in the same way Fallout's death animations were "fun".

 

[Falksi]

Edit: Jesus fuck, I've noticed only now that the VGX trailer says In Game Footage. They also had dialogues that didn't make into the final game.

God I'd have loved to have played the game which is there in that last trailer. Instead I got this.......

With enough pressure, I think they will. They are not the based developers, some people think they are.

 

[Venser]

I know the budget was tight and they wanted to display poverty and shit but still you could do still something to make vehicles look a bit more futuristic
