Cyberpunk 2077 — Official Trailer — The Gig
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
In that trailer? No they didn't. And you really cannot help but complain with that dialogue and that song. Music is as important as visuals when it comes to these things, and wow was that a total disaster. If you had your eyes closed you'd just think it was a trailer for generic dudebro action game #5893928.
I love how you keep trying to cover your ass by constantly bringing it back to my Deus Ex comparison, because you've completely failed to justify in any way how this is a "betrayal" of cyberpunk. You've utterly failed to say how this doesn't look like a cyberpunk game or to even explain your opinion at all. Yeah let's end it here, this is a waste of time.
Uhh yeah I can't like the tone of the trailer isn't what I expected at all from a Cyberpunk thing lol.
Definitely get the GTA comparisons. Not that I dislike the idea of a GTA type game in a cyberpunk city, but it just isn't what I expected from this.

That's just the Polish way of writing 'crime' stories. Wish they hired a Hollywood editor who would de-fuck the script, a'la https://books.google.pl/books?id=M77RDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA532&lpg=PA532&dq=de-fuck+the+script&source=bl&ots=zKyR1DVMEH&sig=ACfU3U1tFEGRPOGBLs2bMv9o9sKzZqYkUA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5jOe2up3qAhWEl4sKHXxLBPsQ6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=de-fuck the script&f=false
Yes exactly! Thats what I thought the game was going to be like so this whole tone they are going for isn't really doing anything for me.
Can't blame them for trying to market it as a futuristic GTA. The money invested into this game must be insane and getting some of that GTA crowd would bring in a lot of $. RPG fans are already on board.
Such language! :P I'm just poking fun. I personally don't even really notice the swearing so I was surprised so many people were commenting on it. To me it's a word like any other and I hear it often in day to day life.
Well this is the first time I've payed a bit more attention to Cyberpunk since we're closer to release, and yeah I'm in agreement with the sentiment that it feels way too GTA-ey and even Hollywood. Was definitely expecting something more gritty and some kind of synthwave soundtrack.
Still, that's not to say the game won't be good, I just had a different picture in my head.

Imo the music isn't really unexpected from the setting.
This is more in line with the aesthetics of Transmetropolitan and Snow Crash than Blade Runner, Neuromancer, or Ghost in the Shell.
I would say that if you made an adaptation of Transmetropolitan that last thing you want to do is use synthesizers and choirs chanting in foreign languages in the score. It should be trashy rock.

Looks absolutely incredible.
Don't understand why drug dealers, weapon smugglers, and shady business people were so vulgar, though. Have a little class, street criminals!

I don't blame them, in fact I suspect the game isn't gonna be like that. I just did not vibe with that trailer. It is what it is.
It looks great, but I think the trailer had too many jump cuts. I was having a hard time understanding what was happening.
I honestly do believe that it's trying to be hybrid though.
Me too StudioTan, me too. I even like using it in my own writing. But the point is, is that it's not about using Fuck, but HOW it's used, and how often. Usually, frequent swearing can seem forced and edgelordy, and given the production company's pedigree (Witcher 3 had excellent writing), most people probably expected something more subtle or nuanced.
Anyway, it's just the trailer -- no clue how the writing comes across in the full thing.
I just rewatched it, I honestly didn't see any time it was used gratuitously within the shot and it wasn't even said once until the middle of the trailer. I just think it happens to be the fact that it was used a few times in successive shots at the end but overall it's not like they were swearing when delivering the normal dialogue. When someone says "we're so fucked!" that's a perfectly natural use of the word.
The only time excessive swearing bothers me is when someone uses fucking as a filler word. "So, fucking, I went to the store and, fucking, the dude behind the counter was fucking like giving me grief about paying with my fucking card". THAT can get annoying but it would be equally annoying if they replacing "fucking" with "like" as well
This looks more like futuristic GTA than it does open world Blade Runner. It looks amazing and im fine with the former, but id rather have the latter
I would separate the marketing of this game from what the game actually is. A lot of the previews mention that this is 100% an RPG first and foremost, which exists in an intricate, breathing world. However I can imagine that from a marketing perspective, targeting the GTA crowd makes a lot of business sense since GTA is one of the highest selling games in the industry.
Well yeah, that's how talented people write/act out a ton of bad words. It doesn't come across as lazy or incompetent.
This is true. Traditionally Cyberpunk hasnt exactly been a hot seller too, so the marketinf being more GTA-like makes sense.
Damn, those are some mighty fine visuals indeed. I hope they nail the gameplay and story but so far it looks really good.
Bravo to both of these post.
Edit: Fuck.
Which trailer exactly gave you a super serious vibe? Because it damn sure can't have been that 48 minute demo.
I think it's really unlikely that this is more like GTA than it is Deus Ex or something like that. That said, I think this looks great. And I'm hopeful that the car physics will be done well. Driving around in open world games can be great.
He openly praises CDPR for realizing his world into the game, saying it's near perfect adaptation of it. What he has dreamed about.
Yet ERA seems to know better what that realization should be than creator of IP.
Edit: Also is it really that surprising that they would make more boombastic trailer for mass marketing instead of bogging it down with long dialogue sequences etc.?
Yes this is why I posted this brudda. Like it's one thing to not like the setting or tone, but it's in line with Pondsmith's world.
