People getting butthurt over the fact game doesn't look like stereotypical cyberpunk disappoints me, though.

If it had any design sense at all there would be less butthurt even if it didn't look like typical night time neon light scenes.
Those streets look squeaky clean to a fault. Like, cleaner than the average street of very real cities in my country. The trailer starts by talking about skyhigh rates of violence and more people living below the poverty line than anywhere else. But that city looks cleaner than large any southern france city. Their footage is more like my smaller, wealthier town that deports homeless people to other cities when they come here.

I'm sorry but the background story told by the trailer and the supposed cyberpunk setting just do not mesh with what they actually show.

I'm sure most people were expecting open world noir Deus Ex or something.

After listening to that black dude talk its not possible to think anything else.

On the other hand, Mike Pondsmith is on record saying that he doesn't consider Deus Ex to be real cyberpunk, and that real cyberpunk is about being a punk on the streets - like GTA with tech.

Also graphics looks way and beyond current consoles (or is it bullshit trailer like TW3 one) which kind of points out that this is probably something they target on PS5/XboxTwo in 2019 or 2020.
Uhm, no? Looks pretty bog standard Sci-Fi to me.

Worth mentioning is that CDPR got "one last thing" on MS conference. On same conference where they announced new Halo Infinity and Gears 5.

CDPR got really fucking good deal.

The gamer world is divided between two categories of people. Those who can see and understand the subtleties of advanced lighting systems and the others. It doesn't matter how bog standard this is, Perkel is right that this stuff is way beyond console capabilities and you just have eyes and yet do not see. You are like the people who believed the Dark Souls 2 bullshots.

Poles know dumb Americans too well. The trailer is pitched as GTAV. The default male MC looks like a certain Mass Effect protagonist.

This will sell like hotcakes.
