Rifles aren't two-handed? I guess if you have the right amount of augments you could shoot it one handed, and smart bullets make traditional marksmenship useless...
May I suggest a skul gun for my head.

Come on man! (h/t Joe Biden) with a cyberpunk setting and a customizable dong think a LITTLE outside the box...

That's good though it was a reference to Deus Ex. The second one I'm making in a couple of pages' time and nobody seems to get it :(

I know its designed for asesthics and not practicality, but how in the hell does that gun chamber a round? Doe your penis just slid one in?

I'd be very surprised if there aren't any hints to Witcher at all, but they will be super subtle and not really "canon" or whatever.

There is. She is on a gaming mag in Arasaka tower during the corpo intro.

No e-thot ciber Ciri then :negative:

I think this is actually a photo from a cosplay session that goes with a videoclip as well.

Here are my two favorites, these are renders though, no cosplay:

I spent some time today looking for the two most famous Ciri-in-Night-City wallpapers, they were surprisingly difficult to find.

Here it is. Peak Cyberpunk.

Taking the human body and doing whatever weird shit you want to do with it, bringing up questions of purity and the soul, is indeed peak Cyberpunk. Glad you realize that.

Cybernetics will eat your soul and make you question your sexuality.

Goddamn I need to make that Slanneshi cult simulator game I keep talking about.

Assassin's Creed Origins or Oddysey may not even be good games but the engine is so much better than Witcher 3s RED Engine 3 at outputting those tasty graphics at LARGE distance and DENSE NPC crowds with basic AI.
New leak with Corpo intro and flyover of the city. Sadly quality is shit and there is no sound, but still. Also Corpo V has a monk life coach, lol.

Anvil 2.0 is pretty sweet, but that comes with having sweet, sweet ubisoft money. We'll have to wait and see how good the newest iteration of Red is.

I believe there are trainers specifically written for Origins v1.5.1/Odyssey v1.5.3 so it's not necessary to put up with ubisoft grinding when you can adjust xp multiplier.

Doug Cockle, voice of The Witcher Geralt, doesn't have a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077

Picture it: you're in a neon-lit bar in Cyberpunk 2077, ordering a retro-future drink, when the barman says something that fires your memory. It's not the words, it's the voice, those gravelly tones, that deadpan way of speaking. It's so familiar. Where have you heard it before? Then it lands: Geralt of Rivia! The barman has the same voice as Geralt in the The Witcher video games. And - no, it can't be a coincidence - he's called Gerry?!

It seemed like a cameo opportunity too good to miss. Even Doug Cockle, the English voice of Geralt in The Witcher games, was up for it. "Absolutely!" he told me when we met a few years ago, and I wrote a piece about him.

Doug Cockle when I met him in December 2016.

"I have joked with [CD Projekt Red] about bringing me in as an Easter egg. I've jokingly said, 'You've gotta bring me in as a bartender the player has to interact with for at least one quest. A bartender named Gerry who has some waiting staff, Trisha or Jenny or something like that.'"

Alas, as I found out today, it never panned out. I checked in with Cockle, ahead of Cyberpunk's 10th December release, and he told me he never got the call from CD Projekt Red.

"Sadly, I haven't had any involvement with Cyberpunk thus far," he said. "It was mentioned long ago but [CDPR] hasn't brought me in for anything. I'm kinda sad about it actually!

"Oh well," he added. "Maybe in the future..."

Presumably CDPR, which has delayed Cyberpunk twice this year, and been under scrutiny for making staff work mandatory six-day weeks, has had more pressing concerns.

Cockle voiced all three Witcher games and their expansions, a body of work that spanned more than a decade. His portrayal of Geralt of Rivia is synonymous with who millions of people believe the character to be. Even Henry Cavill, the actor who plays Geralt in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher books, has openly talked about being inspired by Cockle's performance. Cavill told GQ he played through The Witcher 3 two-and-a-half times.

Yet despite his apparent fame, Cockle was relatively hidden away when I met him in December 2016, working as course leader for acting at the Arts University Bournemouth on the south coast of the UK. He subsequently left the role for full-time acting but has returned to the university, enrolled in its MBA Programme.

After The Witcher 3, Cockle lent his voice to Horizon: Zero Dawn. More recently, he voiced The Blair Witch Video Game and the hilariously bad (but not because of him) Terminator: Resistance. He's also been busy producing and writing a kids' TV show about dogs, called Dog Years, which has just been released on Kidoodle.

Terminator was "Hilariously bad"?

Terminator was "Hilariously bad"?

Terminator: Resistance probably is the best game of that franchise (rather dubious honor). Sitting at 9/10 user score on Steam.

Terminator resistance wasn't all that great in terms of gameplay but it was an excellent entry to the terminator franchise. Third best, perhaps, after T1 and 2. Or maybe second best, if you aren't a fan of T2's "nobody dies, also more humor" thing.

The journos were super pissy about the (tame) sex scenes for some bizarre reason (even though they slobbered all over mass effect etc).
They also hated the dated gameplay, in spite of loving every other game with worse or even non-existent gameplay.

So yeah, typical journo bs.

Perks are here, seems like these will actually change how you approach the combat somewhat, although a lot of it is just +% to damage or whatever.


Yep, much as expected, progression looks like CDPR had a bucket of Kentucky Fallout 4 Chicken with a tub of MMO Sauce before "producing" it.

What's you problem, man? I swear you are the most retarded newfag of 2020. We don't know how the game will be, we just try to piece it together from the few info and screenshots we get, until the game is released. But here is you bitching about everbody and everything with this coping bullshit.
Donut Touch doesn't post when TemplarGR's drinking water.

Damn, those bob cuts are garbage. I wouldn't be able of recreating the Major in this :negative:
It's weird, ain't it? Lots of games have bob cuts that make me suspect the artists hate bob cuts.


Anyway, is there any indication on whether you can change the UI colour scheme? That pink and blue shit's giving me eyestrain.
