I'm guessing you'll only be able to use a few vehicles and not just gta your way around the city.
What I recommend doing is not watching them all.I'm weird but I HATE branching story lines and interactivity. I quite simply dont have the time or desire to play or watch them all.
I hope this game lives up to the hype though
You should read Boss Attack's post.Yes, it's a game. A goddamned CYBERPUNK video game. Jesus Christ...
Ah, I can understand that I guess. I'm almost positive they've explicitly said there would be third person driving sometime during E3 or since then. Unfortunately I can't really back that up, but I'm pretty sure you should be good on that front.You're right. But I couldn't tell if it was a demo cam or the real thing.
It's a good post. Doesn't change the fact that one of the figureheads of the genre in the form of Mike Pondsmith is working on this game though. And if I'm gonna choose who I'll trust with the genre, well...
Yeah, they did say there would be third person driving, so I'll back you up on that :)Ah, I can understand that I guess.

Just curious. We have been seeing that same femal character multiple times and that same male characters. The playthrough shows playing with the woman and the previous playthrough talked about playing with that man.
We know that we can create any character we want and we play with him. So the female would be normally different for every player and same for male. In this gameplay video the male is the companion of that character and I guess the female would be the companion if we played the man. Can we also change the look of the companion, that we normally can change if we play with him? That would be so nice.
Is there any dev from CDProjekt member of Era here to answer this?

I don't know how much this game is taking from Cyberpunk 2020 but in '89, the gang of four is established (FBI, CIA, DEA, NSC) who essentially run the USA from behind the scenes and go to war with Central America. This gang of four then isolates the USA from the entire world while the Euromarket starts to pick up pace and everyone uses Eurodollars. After a second Central American conflict, a new administration forms which is basically a police state that adopts a draconian set of laws as a means to establish order.Does the United States still exist in the Cyberpunk universe? I thought multiple nations fell and corporations took over?
Like obviously the land mass still exist but I have to imagine the timeline is radically different, the government (or whoever is in power) is different, etc.
Eh, a lot of creators just sell the rights but don't have any input (or have limited input) in the hands on creation of the works using their IP. Also, even if he had approved the use, that wouldn't really matter to me because intent doesn't matter if some minority group finds the use of something as offensive.Well, I'm guessing Mike Pondsmith's had a read of the script by now, given that he's co-creator of the game. If anyone"s to decide what kind of language gets used in Cali 2077, then it'd be him.
Also, to go further in-universe, there is a ton of European influence in Night City, isn't there?
I am surprised by how polished the game appears from by what all indications is an early state. I wonder how much of the game remains to be completed. Maybe a mid 2019 launch is possible?
Most of the time, staying out of this kind of thread is the best decision.Not enough by reading some of the comments here, thats for sure.
Mike Pondsmith is literally actively working on the game with them. If I'm not mistaken, he's even billed as co-creator. This isn't just some witcher-author situation.Eh, a lot of creators just sell the rights but don't have any input in the hands on creation of the works using their IP.

I do wonder if this was set in Australia, for example, if the use of the c-word wouldn't elicit such a strong response from people. But if you ground your fantasy/futuristic game with elements of real life, then you can't divorce the reactions to your game from those real-life elements in the current cultural context. Given that the gaming industry is notoriously bad on women's issues, I'm absolutely not surprised that there are people criticizing the game, and it's disappointing that so many people are trying to shut down discussion on that.

Not all is all we know.How many indoor environments do you think there actually are. Of all those buildings you pass by in the car, how many can we actually enter and explore?
Not a CDprojekt dev but we know the guy is your partner regardless of gender. No character customization beyond your main character. He's a static character in the game and story like Ciri or Triss.
I don't think Jackie is different depending on your character.
So we think this is a launch next gen game?
Cus holy shit I worry about the frame rate on base consoles.
The guy in the reveal trailer is the default male player characterAh I see. thanks. I thought he was the playable male version they used in the previous demo.
Based on the interview i've seen at E3 , that's NOT the case at all.( for the bolded )Eh, a lot of creators just sell the rights but don't have any input (or have limited input) in the hands on creation of the works using their IP. Also, even if he had approved the use, that wouldn't really matter to me because intent doesn't matter if some minority group finds the use of something as offensive.

All i'm saying is "pussy" and "bitch" are low-hanging fruit and not even the best/most relevant terms to use in this society to degrade someone. Pussy stems from toxic masculinity and bitch from anti-feminist roots. Given this is a world embedded with circuitry and augments, there's a dozen other terms they could use - and HAVE used in the source material and adjacent universes. All i'm saying and will continue to say is that Pussy and Bitch is lazy and not reflective of anything more than laziness to pull from the rich backlog of vocabulary the entire genre already has.That seems to assume again some superseding prejudices and/or social stigmas. Given the dialogue that seems to not be the case. It feels to me like we've normalized technology over time far faster than we've eliminated the most basic forms of bigotry in real life. Not sure I'd see that stopping in this setting.
It appears that he's not doing the legwork when it comes to writing but doing a lot of consulting.It's a good post. Doesn't change the fact that one of the figureheads of the genre in the form of Mike Pondsmith is working on this game though. And if I'm gonna choose who I'll trust with the genre, well...
They very recently said that the game can be played from start to finish.I am surprised by how polished the game appears from by what all indications is an early state. I wonder how much of the game remains to be completed. Maybe a mid 2019 launch is possible?

Sure, and as I mentioned in the post, intent of the creator doesn't matter to me. If some minority group takes offense to their depiction in a work, then I'm inclined to listen to what they have to say.
Is there any real reason to bring this up? Mike has been on this since day one. He's been guiding CDPR in keeping true to the original pen and paper RPG. He's been proactive on reddit answering questions and he even showed up at E3 doing a bunch of interviews. IIRC he'll be at PAX West this week too.Eh, a lot of creators just sell the rights but don't have any input in the hands on creation of the works using their IP.
Why? It's so weird and cringy with bad animations (sorry but for a open world games the characters and animations are good, but still far from naughty dog level ....... )
The fact that you attribute what one PR guy said on twitter to the entire studio kind of undermines your entire argument.All i'm saying is "pussy" and "bitch" are low-hanging fruit and not even the best/most relevant terms to use in this society to degrade someone.

That said, it is entirely representative of the sort of writing-mind the studio has, given they think "did you assume my gender" is still a joke to make in 2018. They probably hastily scrapped some recorded lines from the game set in 2077 after the backlash. From this snippet, the writing will be a mixed bag of good moments with lots of things that will be instantly aged or problematic. And them being problematic or out-of-date won't be because it is "authentic" but the opposite. Lazy and low-hanging words that have better and established replacements within the established canon of all cyberpunk works.

1. Because supposedly I can choose the size of my penis, therefore it is an useless feature if I cant see it in action
2. I am a horny 21 yo teenager
Ehr... What? We were talking about what Cyberpunk is "supposed" to be like. Which is the post of Bossattack.Sure, and as I mentioned in the post, intent of the creator doesn't matter to me. If some minority group takes offense to their depiction in a work, then I'm inclined to listen to what they have to say.
Your teens ended over 2 years ago.
Edit You're probably being facetious
Does it? That something like that can slip through the official channel of the game/studio says plenty. If it is one person's idea of funny, that's bad, but when in-game components also reflect the same issues as with the twitter post... then what?The fact that you attribute what one PR guy said on twitter to the entire studio kind of undermines your entire argument.
Yeah, I hope they go absolutely nuts in this department. To answer your original question, the Untied States in the Cyberpunk 2013/2020/V3 universe is really just a shell state run by a corrupt government in collusion with megacorporations. Countries like Canada are completely run by megacorporations due to being an agricultural paradise. Open Corporate military force keep American nomads from coming into the country.Wow. Really interesting. I thought CDPR did a great job with the Witcher lore so I'm really excited to see what they do with this. Thanks.
