What a weird thing to have even lied about. Would Keanu not playing the game have been some sort of issue? Not at all. There's actors who don't even watch the movies they're in. No one cares.
Yeah it's weird.
Actors doesn't lie about not having read the book the movie is based on.
Actors also rarely watch the movies they are starring in (some don't even watch movies at all).

I guess it was to look cool. Or they were so deep into the lie of "everything was fine" that they couldn't stopped it.
But maybe it's just because they are known to patently lying to everyone including their employees. Who knows.

To be honest, Keanu never seemed the kind of guy who plays videogames, i bet he prefers to spend his free time with his motorcycles. The man is an actor and he did a good job in Cyberpunk, so the only issue here is CDPR lies, as always...

He probably played two minutes of a dev build while visiting a CDPR office. And by "played" I mean waggled the mouse

Turns out the only thing CDPR were up front and open about prior to release was their disdain for trans people.

It's best that way, it's a better idea than it is an experience. Playing the game just ruins everything. Maybe in 2077 there will be another attempt in delivering on this game where it's an actual world people go to in the VR net.

Ice cold truth.
The only one you can trust having read or played stuff he says he did.

I'd watch BvS everyday for a month to have Cavill give an honest review of Cyberpunk. I have to think as a massive game enthusiast and hobbyist he'd find the RPG systems as shallow as anyone.

And to cap off this farce, the thing they were most openly honest about wasn't even what got them the most blowback from the public at large.

I honestly forgot that we're about a year removed from the release of the game. I was not on this site at the time, but I would like to personally offer you and the rest of TransEra my thanks and condolences for having to advocate so hard in the lead-up and aftermath of the game's launch.

Ice cold truth.

I would also let you watch Batman v. Superman every day for a month to have Cavill give an honest review of Cyberpunk.

Leona Lewis didn't plsy FF13,Elliot Page didn't play Beyond 2 Souls, I would bet even most VAs don't play their games.

These people don't necessarily enjoy gaming nor should they be expected to. It is just work.

Yeah, that was obvious... He was there for a paycheque. He was at VGA for marketing. He probably doesn't game they way nerds thinks he does. He probably likes reading and working on motorcycles IMO.

Next you're gonna tell me Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen didn't each do a full 100% playthrough of Death Stranding.

Sometimes a gig is just a gig. Although I'm in the camp CDPR probably let him walk around in an early build for a few minutes to pitch him the role. They probably count that as "playing" the game.

I am pretty sure Keanu Reeves mentioned it from the perspective that he hasn't spent a large amount of time on the game, as compared to just booting it up and spending some time on it to check the game.

Technically if they ever shoved a demo build in front of him before and he moved the character around for a few minutes, they can say he's played the game.

It would be a fitting half-truth considering the game we are talking about.

In my head, Henry Cavill is the only actor in Hollywood actively playing games (I know there are likely a bunch of others who do too, but I just go with what's confirmed)

"Henry Cavill won't lie to us about playing a game :)" Probably not, but he also won't flirt with women because he said he's scared of getting called a rapist during the MeToo movement. Not the man I would idolize like some here clearly do.

Not surprising.
But I suppose he saw people playing the game or someone tried the game for him.

But really, who cares? Technically that could still be interpreted as "playing" a game.

I feel like this article is just trying to paint CD Projekt RED as the bad entity.

He probably came in once and played for like 5 minutes when they were showing the game. That's enough to say "He's played it" lol

This thread is going to be closed op. Cyberpunk 2077 stuff is supposed to be talked about in the Cyberpunk 2077 thread.

New ones aren't allowed.

I mean, fair. But the thread is more about CDPR lying about it, which, at this point, maybe should come as no surprise.

Just when you thought Keanu Reeves couldn't be more relatable he goes and does something I can relate to, not playing Cyberpunk 2077.
