Today, CD Projekt Red started a series on Twitter focused on the lore of Night City, circa 2077 - specifically the gangs and corporations.




twitter.com

Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitter

“One of Night City’s largest gangs, the Valentinos are bound by a strong moral code and century-old traditions. Controlling swathes of predominantly Latino areas of Heywood, they treat values such as honor, justice, and brotherhood with deadly seriousness. #Cyberpunk2077 https://t.co/Z2dgxy3R0P”

I wonder why CDPR are drip feeding us with the minimal amount of stuff relating to the game

We are five months from the release and we don't have a proper gameplay. I mean, gameplay that wasn't changed between the years.

Gameplay for any unreleased game is always subjected to change. That being said, I do agree that I would love to see more gameplay from Cyberpunk but its not a huge deal.

Honestly we don't need gameplay yet but introducing gangs could at least be 1 min video showing them in game with some music in background (also from game) instead of just some text and gang logo.

they could have at least given us an ingame screenshot of a couple gang members or something. you know show us what they look like.
i mean is this an all female gang? could be a cool concept

5 months from launch? Aside from bugs that are still be fixed, which they obviously wouldn't be showing off, it shouldn't be changing significantly at this state. Unless it's not actually coming out in 5 months...

Plus, if they're showing off corporations/gangs they could at least show some key characters, of their territories or something

Honestly i have feeling that video game marketing is kinda getting worse each year. Few years ago game reveals were events, these days announcements are random drops.

Idk. But I do believe they'll do a huge preview event maybe this summer if the virus doesn't affect their plans TOO much.

Still at the point where I don't expect them to do deep dives on the interesting aspects to the life of the game and then hope any disappointment/criticism is drowned out in the immense torrent of praise it will inevitably receive. Frustrating as there's much to love but still feel any hype being tempered by the reservedness around things.

I don't understand why CDPR have been so skimpy with gameplay footage for this. Hell, the game was already supposed to be out very soon and we're still getting the tiniest little teases of even just info. I may be wrong but I remember them being all for showing massive amounts of TW3 and then saying "Oh this is just the tutorial area". I'm really hoping they are just keeping it quiet to surprise everyone but the cynical part of me is worried.

I thought lizzies was an all female gang from The Warriors or something.

It really is weird that they're not showing any gameplay for a game that was supposed to release around this time of the year.

I was expecting a bit more than that. They're awfully cagey about showing any of this game.

It's called building hype. They even explained all of this. They know this is a huge game and so they are parceling out info drip by drip to keep people hooked until it releases. Especially as it has been pushed back they need to be judicious with their info dumps. We don't know if Covid-19 is causing further delays as they try to crunch the game out so the drip of info doesn't surprise me at all. We'll see more in the month leading up to launch for sure. Patience.

We are our own worst enemies with why we dont get footage or screenshots.

Remember ubisoft ? Yeah. Remember witcher 3 ? Exactly.

If they show ANYTHING other than the retail release hard pressed on disc they will be crucified with any changes that happen along the development path.

Every bit of footage we got so far has been plastered with disclaimers that it's not final.

The product we will get wont be as pretty, wont live up to everything we have seen but it still will be am amazing game.

But the next time we see it, regardless of what we think, say or complain about will be what we get in our hands.

tbh, COVID-19 has kind of put a damper on everything right now. I'm going to guess that this was all going to be part of a buildup to a massive blowout at E3.

Maybe they are trying to make the Rockstar strategy, but even Rockstar in the last games (GTA V and RDR2) they launched gameplay trailers.

I don't get all the woe is me talk behind announcements these days. What difference does it make if we get info on a game/console from a random drop vs. some huge event?

The game code was submitted for age rating, so it's content locked at this point. It's just polishing and bug squashing until release.

Agreed.
The product we will get wont be as pretty, wont live up to everything we have seen but it still will be am amazing game.
It will look at least as good as the E3 2018 48 minute gameplay - if not better.
Yup. It's coming out this year - most likely September 17th as planned...hopefully earlier ;)

yaaaaawn - the hype was through the roof for this game a few months ago but for whatever reason my excitement has fallen off for this one. Probably has something to do with how long we have been waiting but i'm sure the hype will return once we see some new footage.
