CYBERPUNK 2077 Hands-On Impressions
- Thread starter Black Chamber
- Start date
I hope this is possible for all three origins, though I guess they merge pretty quickly anyway. I also wonder if this is "main story can be completed" or "100% of side quests and side content can be completed without killing anyone"
US outlets weren't invited to anything, the game was streamed to their PCs and obviously couldn't be very smooth to be able to accurately determine an exact framerate.
Is this running on a high end PC, or a PC marching next gen consoles? Or an Xbox one?
I just don't imagine this game will run swell on base Xbox/PS4.

I believe it's a running on an RTX 2080 ti streamed to people's home computers.

I'm compiling a list of details and I'm going to use yours as well🤘
Is there a way to quote these posts where the image/gif is included?
Anyway I think I'll go for a Wolverine-build for 1st playthrough, a melee/blade specialist with sensory enhancements. I wonder if health regeneration is a skill tree/spec option.
Im thinking no stutter is what they mean.
A game can be smooth with good frametimes even at 30 fps.
Since they are journalists they are used to 30 fps on console so I think they dont mind the game being no stable 60 or even 120 fps.
If it's still like they talked about in 2018 then HUD is directly tied to augmentations you have in your body.
Want ammo counter? Better have augments that let your integrate with your weapons etc
So I guess we can't take the "It doesn't look that good visually" to heart.
Reading impressions and watching the trailer, I.. don't get the GTA comparisons?
They are both detailed open world games, but beyond that... they seem very very different.
Anyways, I'm excited, but will probably play this next year after the next gen patch/update.

I put the gif in quotes because it has a 54 mb file size
We know it specifically has a GTA style wanted system.
A Deus Ex sim, with tons of dialogue and different paths to take in a breathing living world like night city, is revolutionary for me. Is there anything like it?
"open world Deus Ex" is all I've ever wanted out of video games and this looks set to provide it.
This looks to have the atmosphere and immersive feel of the Deus Ex games mixed with the role-playing freedom of an Elder Scrolls game scaled up to a GTA-sized open world.
Hoo baby, I'm HYPED!

I really want to know how CDProjekt Red are doing Achievements/Trophies for CyberPunk 2077 given the fact that you can apparently miss bosses and characters entirely based on your in game choices as shown off in some of the impressions...
One of the WORST things in the Witcher III was the fact that MANY achievements are tied to story choices...some of which rely on the player making very early decisions that affect very late game achievements, so it's not like you can make a quick story choice for an achievement and reload.
Why is this a big deal?
Because this and the Witcher are role playing games. Let me play the role and don't penalize me for making in game choices in alignment with that role by withholding achievements for not making the choice you wanted me to.

It really doesn't.
Looks to be pretty average first person melee combat. Nothing that blows you away, but far from horrendous.
Same
The scale and scope of what they are going for, even on release and accounting for optimization in the interim, this isn't going to work for me on my base PS4
I'm guessing because with the game still 5 months out they want the focus to be on the game, narrative, characters etc. Not 10 minute videos of bugs, character creator dicks etc. You give this many people access to your game and don't give very specific guidelines/rules, you're just asking for trouble.
After watching the stream and Geoff's impressions this really seems like a game that impresses more in screenshots and actual playing, the meat and taters to this is clearly in the exploration which CDPR clearly wants us to experience for ourselves. The screens are gorgeous and look a step above what the footage shown today looked like though maybe that's just shitty YT compression. I really hope the PC version scales well and isn't as big of a pain in the arse to get running and looking good as Witcher 2 was at launch. W3 I feel scaled far better on PC without looking like butt so hopeful for the same scenario here. I shudder to think how Cyberpunk is going to look on base consoles.
I know they said 2021 for next gen patches but by some miracle hope they're able to get the fancy bells and whistles applied to the XSX and PS5 in time for November launch (and fully expect this to get pushed back even further at this point). This thing is starting to feel like gaming's white whale :P

The video I did is linked in the OP, but I've also done a bunch of written stuff, if that is your bag.
There's a few...

- Here's my general hands-on: https://www.vg247.com/2020/06/25/cyberpunk-2077-hands-on-preview/
- And a deep-dive into Braindance (with a different example to what was on stream): https://www.vg247.com/2020/06/25/cyberpunk-2077-braindance-detective-puzzles/
- There's also an interview with one of the story leads: https://www.vg247.com/2020/06/25/cyberpunk-2077-interview-choice-consequence/
- Also, I looked at it in a Q&A from a more RPG perspective on RPG Site: https://www.rpgsite.net/preview/9921-cyberpunk-2077-hands-on-8-points-for-rpg-fans
- Finally, and I thought this was interesting - when they showed character creation in 2018, they had a multiple-choice question setup for the character background. Three questions, three possible answers each, so what, just shy of 30 possible combinations? They ditched that now for the 'life paths' system we have where you choose one of three more defined backgrounds, but each background and opening of the game is more unique because of it. Anyway, I chatted to one of the quest leads about why they changed that: https://www.vg247.com/2020/06/25/cyberpunk-2077-life-path-origin-changed-why/

HUGE list of bullet-points added to the OP - with many more to come. I'm taking a break for an hour or so from watching and reading these previews to give my mind a rest lol!

Did you see any new mini-games? Can we play Pool in bars?
Didn't see anything like that, no. I was only in two bar like places - a bar where the opening of the Street Kid life path begins (and cos it's the opening, what you can do is limited) and then a strip club I visited as part of a story quest.
I should say, the thing is, this build we played, it was the first four hours, but with a cut off point. So it cuts off right before you begin that heist mission that's alluded to in the new trailer. And while you can tool around the city some doing basic side missions and stuff, it does seem like those first four hours are more limited, which is why CDP is calling it the prologue... which is exciting, as presumably it means some interesting stuff lays beyond.
Yeah, that would look like total nonsense in third person.

Did it rain while you played - at night? If so, was it a downpour or light rain?
No animals and they are almost all artificial? That's interesting. I wonder if it's part of how the world works or if it's just a way to save time animating a lot of animals.
It didn't rain for me, but the city just absolutely comes alive at night imo. It just looks ridiculous; I guess ray tracing is really helping here.

Earth in Cyberpunk universe has gone through basically absolute climate collapse, killing most if not all organic plant life etc.
A lot of things are artificial.
Ah, that's cool. I can't wait to learn more about this bizarre world.
