I don't think this would be the case. Mass Effect has a character creator but default Sheppard is the face of the franchise.

Cyberpunk 2077 Speculation Thread REDUX
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
I refer to writing of character, not visual appearance.
Also femShepard is true Shepard. Same with femV as far I'm concerned.
I'm not interested in topics such as gang wars, drugs or violence, but I'm very interested in AI, robotics and psychological questions. From a story standpoint, do you think I might enjoy this game?
Might be kind of difficult to answer that. Maybe? They haven't revealed too much about the stories in the game. I hope it has GiTS style topics though.
A lot of my favorite CP2020 stories are about covert operations to unveil conspiracies, and tech / unethical research was often at the forefront. However the environment has changed a lot... CP RED is not fully out yet, i bet CDPR delayed CP2077 so that Mike Pondsmith can finish RED since stories might have links, and not just the overall lore available in the starter kit (hot take ;) )
As GenTask said it's difficult to say, but there are stuff to explore like the Voodoo Boys interest/obsession with the Net.

I think it's pretty damn likely A LOT of story content will revolve around this.
However, a lot of content will probably also revolve around "gang wars, drugs and violence" as well as corporate wars and such. And you probably won't be able to avoid that content too much.
That would be great. I don't mind those gang wars as long as I have enough content on the other stuff
Cdpr will explore topics and flesh out the world through side quests that might not fit directly into the main quest.
It was actually delayed because the developers' daily supply of llama milk will be halted for a while. The developers work slower without their llama milk.
CDPR has been very insistent that it won't happen and have actually complained about constantly being asked about it. lol
Forgive me, but who made this art? Is it official art for the game or the table top RPG? I find it stunning. I'd love to see a version without the yellow caption border/caption at the bottom!
Shared on the official twitter account for Cyberpunk 2077. Its for the game, not the table top rpg.
The setting is not so much about crime but about counterculture and not accepting the whims of exploitative power structures.
I think the dehumanising violence and ruthlessness of the factions might be a turnoff if you're mostly here for the transhumanism. It's a brutal and depressing view of humanity by design.
Okay, so since V is being discussed, will the ridiculously hot 'male' V from the cover be a character preset? Don't get me wrong, the darker hair 'male' V from Gamescom is cute. But he's not a hottie. The 'male' V from the cover is a hottie.
I don't want to mess too much with the character creation, because my attempts always end horribly. So this is important.

I would guess a few months before release, maybe June/July? I think that is what they did with Witcher 3?
As an Easter egg? Like a reference to a white haired woman at least? 100%.
Actually featuring her, as a person, in any content? Slim to 0% chance.
They'll want to keep this disparate from the Witcherverse.
Seems pretty realistic.
Definitely not as sprawling as other open games this gen, but I have a feeling it'll be far denser and more packed with quests and things to see than most other games. Which makes sense given it's a futuristic, overcrowded city.
Will also be interesting to see how they depict the badlands outside the city. I thought GTA V did that sort of thing really well. The quieter rural areas outside of a big city and how it feels to transition between the two.
If you look at the graffiti on the embankment right below the Mickey Mouse looking graffiti, it says "N City Warriors". In Cyberpunk 2020, there's a gang called "Warrior Heart"; so I wonder if this is referencing them, or perhaps an entirely new gang called the Night City Warriors for Cyberpunk 2077?
Perhaps it could also be the name of the city's football team?
Saw on Reddit that CDPR denies that the delay was because of performance issues for the current consoles.
I could be totally wrong. It just doesn't fit a strong creative vision to do brand cross-pollination like that (unless all your games are pretty similar, like Remedy's Control being a high concept wrapping up Max Payne, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, etc).
I actually think it'll be a fair bit larger than this. Like, TW3s map is MASSIVE and flat, and while we know CP2077 is smaller, I doubt it'll be THAT much smaller. This looks very small by current gen standards. Maybe my perspective is just skewed.
Besides it gives everyone a chance to actually create Ciri as a pseudo-amnesiac cyberpunk if they really want :P
A modest sized map would suit the game better if they are truly going for a sort of open world Deus Ex type game.
Agreed. First person in a dense city should be a smaller map. The one above looks about right for my tastes if you count the amount of blocks. I can't imagine it being a lot bigger.
Cool, I'll keep an eye. I might actually cop on PC instead, I fear the next gen wait may be a bit too much for me. I certainly won't buy for current gen though.
Unlike Witcher 3 though, Cyberpunk has a lot of verticality to it, so it might look smaller in area on paper, but it's much denser.
Yeah smaller and denser is not a bad thing for open world design. Pack it to the brim with goodness.
Just looked, they released specs for Witcher 3 in January and it released in May. So it would be reasonable to suspect something similar for Cyberpunk I.e revealed in May time.
Remember that Witcher 3 got last minute delay too, but spec could be released 1-2 months before release of 77.
It was delayed the final time in December 2014.
So when the specs were revealed in January 2015, it had its final release date of May.
Someone can make a thread if they feel like it, but part of the rumor was that the footage wasn't going to be new anyway. Glad that they're keeping people safe though.
/u/devianaut trying to improve their map, check out their post on Reddit here.
Makes me wonder how much of the map isn't on the cover of the book. The Badlands and Ocean can cut the player off pretty easily, but I wonder how the city will cut off on the non-ocean sides.

EDIT: Nvm, it's apparently from an interview from last month, I'll keep it up since I'm not sure that it was ever posted here.
