Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Re-Announcement Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Broseph]

Yeah but (correct me if I'm wrong) Larian don't have anywhere near as much mainstream presence as CDPR. And if Pondsmith wants to bring Cyberpunk to as large of an audience as possible then there you go.

I haven't played any Larian games but I have played and completed The Witcher 1 and 2.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah Larian is SMALL. They are just an independent studio trying to stay alive. Yes they make pop-a-mole Console games, but that is how this business works, same with CDProjekt and Obsidian.

Here is your reality check for the day:

It is going to basically be Witcher WITH GUNZ!

It will have some skills from the original PnP system. I doubt it will even have half of them, because they have to focus on AKSHUIN! AKSHUN! AKSHUN!!!! PRESS THAT FUCKING A BUTTAN! YEAH!!!! ARE WE HAVING FUN NOW!! That's what sells (and makes their shareholder happy).

The story will possibly be interesting to possibly good.

Possible ACTUAL choice and consequences (instead of the usual Witcher no matter what you do, it all end the same, but you get some side content that is interesting following one path).

An open world design.

Retarded GIGANTO Interface because of Consoles.

Uh, I think that's what everyone hopes it will be. Obviously it's going to be an action rpg and hopefully guns will make witcher's mediocre combat somewhat better.

 

[Spectacle]

I don't mind action games as long as it's actual skill based action and not A for Awesome akshun. If CP 2077 ends up as an open world game with good shooting, good atmosphere and decent RPG elements I'll be in heavan,

 

[Necroscope]

I hope so, didn't Bethesda say the same thing about Skyrim? On the other hand, Bethesda...

No, Bethesda ran into "same standards for all platforms" (which, ironically, can be interpreted in exactly opposite way) and judging by how painfully unsuccessful they are is in the matter since Morrowind, throwing beloved moniees on extra interface for PC is unlikely in the future.

 

[Jaesun]

It's not cost effective for them. People will dislike/complain about it but will still buy the game no matter what the interface is like.

[Necroscope]

Well, the endings are variations of the same, but so far it's as good as it gets in games. Nevertheless I really enjoyed some of the consequeces of my choices, especially one gruesome moment with Philippa.

 

[Jaesun]

And it's now probably a shitty Call of Duty clone.

You mean Sheala.

No, Philippa:

If it's gonna be NWN style then I DO want, otherwise as above.

 

[Stonewolf]

How is that a consequence of your choice? Afaik siding with Iorveth always leads to that.

 

[BobtheTree]

Get you damn multiplayer out of my single-player genre!

 

[Oesophagus]

Meh, multiplayer. If it's detached from the main game, then it might make not much difference, but if they plan on coop, it'll probablly end up a generic shooter

 

[Jaesun]

Glad they are focusing on what matters to a game, Multi-player.

Instead of focusing 100% development on the single player game.

 

[Stonewolf]

Why do you take your opinion on what matters as what matters for everyone?

 

[Jaesun]

Why are you so butthurt?

 

[Broseph]

Why are you talking to yourself, Jaesun?

Spoiler

 

[Rahdulan]

Has anyone actually bothered reading that article and the original quoted line?

"It will be a story-based RPG experience with amazing single-player playthroughs, but we're going to add multiplayer features."

 

[Stonewolf]

Why are you so butthurt?

More like just tired of hivemind whining and bitching for no real reason on every occasion and about everything that's not ascii blobber.

 

[Jaesun]

Who is this hivemind you speak of?

 

[Necroscope]

How is that a consequence of your choice? Afaik siding with Iorveth always leads to that.

My bad then, I thought that choosing to help Philippa instead of Triss wil save her from the spoon.

Glad they are focusing on what matters to a game, Multi-player.

Instead of focusing 100% development on the single player game.

If made properly, with a Gamemaster client, it can matter a lot actually, especially in pair with a toolset.

 

[Cyberarmy]

What is wrong with multiplayer if it is done tastefully?
I don't want to believe really think they are aiming for CoD/GoW/UC style. I'm not naive enough to think they are going for something like NWN modules. But something like GTA/Red Dead Redemption which allows us to free roam with our slaves friends would be great i think.
As usual, if they do it properly of course

New Cyberpunk 2077 interview: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/01/cyberpunk-2077-putting-the-punk-back-into-cyberpunk

 

[DeepOcean]

“The main problem is that the original system is based on dice rolls. When you think about Cyberpunk you think about shooting, action, a lot of explosions. But that doesn’t fit dice rolls in a video game. We want to make it more action-like – there will be a system that lets you use active skills actually in the gameplay in a shooting sequence or something like that, rather than just passive skills like in the books.”

Why I am not surprised?
