Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Demo

Slow is one thing but shooting should also feel a bit visceral.
Gotta say, I'm scratching my head that people are complaining about the cussing and problematic language. Like, these are bad people. Of course they'll be saying terrible things and using foul language.
I would find it weird if they weren't.

Oh I can't wait for the DF and NX videos shiiiit
I dunno either. That's everyday language to me with everyone I'm around them curse words.

Glad to know. I was feeling salty about playing this on console without HW.
This is one of those games where you just cannot imagine any other medium doing this as effectively. It's what gaming was invented for; total immersion in a truly fantastic and unique world. I can't wait.
That van boi is obviously jacked in via a direct neural interface.
One thing that kinda got me. Why so much Japanese?
Like there was a lot of Chinese talk, but not so much tech representation. Yet, Japanese brands and signs were everywhere. Looking at the current makeup of the world, and the largest corporations in the world, Japan is not trading blows with China or even Korea in a lot of industries. It seems weird that it's so prevalent here.
I get that it's influenced by Bladerunner, but that was written in a different time, a different context where we thought Japan would keep on risin'.
Loving the multi-lingual stuff in general though. Would be cool if characters used a lot of loan words, like a futuristic version of Singlish or something.

One thing that stood out for me (and bear with my uneducated, limited perspective here) was that the graphics didn't seem to be insanely detailed, right down to the individual cracks in the paving stones, if you know what I mean?
It was almost as if the devs had sacrificed a bit of deep visual fidelity(?) to possibly allow them to have this huge open world, with no loading screens and loads of NPCs walking around...if that makes sense.
And I liked it. I've played games this generation that, to me, were so incredibly detailed that the screen was almost too busy in a way.
I dunno if I can actually properly explain what I mean. I guess I just thought that Night City in this demo looked really nice, and looked possible.

Highly doubt ps4/Xbox base version will have high npc density like that
As an E3 attendee who got into a Cyberpunk 2077 demo viewing in June, I can report that there are enough differences in action, pacing, movement, and tempo to make this look like a real-time playthrough of nearly identical content. There's very little deviation from what I saw. The biggest differences: my demo showed much more wall destruction in the opening gunfight, and the first sweep through the major city plaza was slower in my demo. Also, the ending conversation took place in daytime, not nighttime, in my demo.

Judging by what they've said they weren't sure if they were ever going to show this demo to the public because its such an early work in progress. Hell they even say a lot of what you are seeing here is still in a prototype level of development
People were so loud after E3 though demanding gameplay they just decided to pull the trigger and do it
Guys are you even serious. There's only so long one can develop a game before bleeding financially. I mean yeah,"its coming out when it's ready" is their moto,but even they know that they wanna release it as soon as possible. I predict a 90% of Fall 2019 with Spring 2020 latest.
What makes you think you cannot change the colors of the HUD? Might be able to
Just finished and this is my most anticipated game in many years. Visually it looks really good, very clean and a ridiculous amount details. The density of NPCs and shops, etc. is out of this world amazing, starting in the apartment, going out to the complex and seeing everything there, followed by taking the elevator down, seeing the busy streets with cars and even more NPCs all while being completely seamless blew my mind. Gameplay looks like a lot of fun, love the weapons and gadgets shown. The whole package just blended together perfectly.
I can see why everyone that saw this at E3 was losing their minds. I'm hyped!

Because you need to sacrifice something for this scale. And they did.
Because meaningless comparison debate fuels their forum existence.
Aside from the language "debate" the dumbest fucking thing going on in this thread.
I don't think so. It has to be within the time window of the release of next-gen consoles (the game will officially support them) so mostly 2021.
Unless they will plan a dedicated version for next-gen that you have to buy separately on the respective consoles instead of having the same current-gen game upgraded for next-gen and running through backward compatibilty like games on mid-gen consoles.
Absolutely. They have plenty to brush up before release but this is looking like a dream game.
That is true. What I'm looking forward to the most right now is just walking around and checking things out. I love good camera work, but the atmosphere in Cyberpunk films always made me wish I could just check things out for a while. Now I can. :P
Cyberpunk was first released in 1988, Japan was very influential over Western culture, and Cyberpunk as a setting was always influenced by Japanese culture. Look at Shadowrun as another example.
Obviously the hype levels were off the charts, so I found there to be an initial moment of "Oh, this is still a video game," but I love the art design and just the vibe of walking through that city. I suspect the release is closer than people think. Holiday 2019/Spring 2020 doesn't seem out of the realm of possibilities.
What? Of couse it's graphically more impressive than Zelda, that wasn't what I was saying at all. I was saying that posting beautiful looking gifs of an empty, open field, and a dense forest with no NPCs was as 'impressive' (in terms of what's going on) as Zelda. My point was that it was a horrible comparison.
They are completely different games going for completely different things (which by now has been established, I think?).
After all the hype I was a tiny little bit disappointed by the graphics, but it gives me hope that it'll still come out for current gen. The rest was like all my dreams come true. I bet my money on a release on 7/7/20.
As nice as that city shot looks, I feel like it's not THAT impressive in that animations and loops will get old fast. The city is dense but still comes off like The Truman Show if that makes sense.
I feel like its one of those technological limits and resource limits that requires insane amounts of money to put into, and I dont think we'll see games like that until another 2 generations.
I've played games with "breathing worlds", but while it looks great and you catch small neat things NPCs doing, they dont ever fully feel like anything more than robots in a loop.
If the final game can somehow manage to make these people feel so much realer, it would be a monumental feat, but I just am skeptical of the tech being there so soon.
Personally, Im not mega hyped like some of you in here. Dont really care for the themes in the game, it comes off like a Borderlands game. Will still play it for the novelty of the world and tech though, I assume its a next gen game.

Can't wait for "LTTP: Cyberpunk 2077 isn't really that good"-topics.
Incredible writing and the combat options look very fun, really excited for this. If it's half as good as TW3 it'll be a fantastic experience.
But, did anyone else find the camera shaking extremely stiff and intense? Both me and my girlfriend got a bit nauseous watching the walkthrough. And given that the character controls were the worst part of TW3, I'm a bit worried.

Man Cyberpunk 2077 is better than Club Penguin in every way shape and form.
/s
seriously guys enough with the RDR2 comparisons. It's two entirely different genres.

The entire Eurogamer write-up from E3 doesn't mention graphics once. Because it's a WiP.
Not feeling the endless chatting and all the future slang stuff. I know they had to put dialogue like that in but with all these modern games the dialogue feels shoehorned in, often during very intense gameplay moments, and it just all goes in one ear out the other. Maybe it's just me, lol. This and other similar games, even Spiderman with the person on the phone giving you help, it just all feels a bit like information overload when you're just trying to play.
Oh really? Didn't know that. Not familiar with the source material. Thanks for the education!
Thanks for clarifying and I agree. If it is just in terms of visuals, I don't think arguments can be made on various points...but I do think this game has a level of immersion which is pretty rare. Funnily enough the actual NPC count and diversity reminds of Gravity Rush of all things, which is pretty impressive. Having a vibrant feel in a game like this is a big plus point.
* hopefully the gameplay mechanics, and weight get refined to a point where it is pristine ( metro exodus/titanfall 2) levels of refinement and feedback/wieght
- and these pictures arent that great atm honestly. sunset overdrive is leaps and bounds more dense., but that is comparing an unfinished product to a complete one, and thus invalid.

We better be able to, otherwise i'll have a stroke while playing the game.
Having less text on the screen and some white or dark-yellow HUD would be easier on the eyes
