Now, compare that with what Kiciński told investors in CD Projekt Red's third quarter earnings call. Translated by Seeking Alpha, a question from an unknown source emerges late in the call: Has Keanu played the game? Kiciński says, "Yes. Yes. He played the game. But as far as I know haven't finished yet. So — but definitely, he played the game and he loves it."

Turns out Keanu Reeves never played Cyberpunk 2077

Despite what CD Projekt said, Johnny Silverhand is no gamer

for shame

So the studio that lied about the state of the game before release also lied about that, huh? I'm shocked. Shocked!

Honestly, it's a bit surprising considering how many "good" things he's said about the game and how CDPR shilled his appearance.

I mean in the interview he said people played it in front of him, who really cares 🤷‍♂️

Wishes they hadn't taken down the Johnny sex mod too lol

I didn't figure Keanu Reeves of all people would sit down and deliberately play an unfinished busted ass game especially while it was still being developed, but I'm going to be charitable and say someone maybe handed him a controller for like two minutes one time to let him spin the camera around his model or something.

If you want to count that as "playing" or not, that up to you, but it's an easy thing to make true on a semantic level.

I doubt most of the famous Hollywood voice actors have played the games they are in.

He said he doesn't play games but has had people give him demos so he can check them out. But he also said he has a older VR helmet so what he used that for who knows. porn

Bruh even Nolan only played Uncharted like very recently to stream them or something, you think Keanu will go play your disastrous RPG.

They probably showed him one of those specially crafted promo demos, and he said "cool" then cashed his check.

That's surprising. Most VA and even actors don't get to experience the media they are working on until around launch time. In term of video games, not everyone plays them anyway or even have the time.

I mean, it's possible CDPR isn't lying in that he has played the game. They didn't specify how long or that he even personally owned a copy. If during development they handed him a controller for two seconds, then he technically did "play the game" and likely enjoyed it.

Not surprising.

Reminds me of an interview with Ron Perlman where he said he's never watched Teen Titans.

I remember some old interview with Jennifer Hale. She's not a gamer and at the time had never played Mass Effect (though I think in the years since she has actually played through the games if I'm not mistaken). The interviewer was asking about various characters in the games and she had to be reminded of who some were and whether they were heroes or villains.

It was a funny moment, like, in one sense, Jennifer Hale has a more intimate relationship with Commander Shepard than anyone else on earth, but in another sense, for her those characters and moments were just words on a page in one acting job among many many others.

I can't ever really imagine them saying "No, he hasn't played it" when being asked that question. The chances of them being caught out are so slim, but alas, they were.

What the point of playing an Action/RPG game when you know all the spoilers the game can have by doing the VA ?

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.

This is what I think as well. He may even have controlled the character for a few minutes and walked around the city, but I doubt it's anything beyond that. That way they could technically say he "played" the game and loved it.
