Surprised it's an FPS considering the pre-E3 rumors had it as third person first and foremost and first person optionally, GTA V style. I think third person suits open world games better but I guess it doesn't really matter.

@brackstone: I think the businessman in a meeting early in the trailer was V as a Corporate.

Meant to resemble underground utility markings probably.

@zeik: You are right, and daytime has its own entire story. Consider this recent statement by Cyberpunk 2020 creator Mike Pondsmith:

I can tell you exactly what Night City looks like in daylight, since I created its weather. On dry days, the sky is a orangey red, thanks to the tons of particulates suspended in the air. Kind of like what Seattle has looked like the past five days. Toxic rain days (rarer now) the sky is a blinding, whitish grey suffused with a stinging mist. Kind of what Seattle looks like normally

And I suppose people's minds are heavily influenced by Blade Runner 2049. Cyberpunk is a genre that is as closely related to rainy streets as steampunk is to steam and gears. Maybe there'll be a orangey red polluted part of the city but I'm happy they're not afraid of daylight if the trailer is any indication.

It's been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077. We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and... went dark. Normal procedure for these kinds of things - you announce a game and then shut up, roll up your sleeves, and go to work. We wanted to give you The Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that.

As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077's pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? At some point, we made a decision to resume talking about the game only when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realise you've been (im)patiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn't want anyone to feel that we're taking this for granted. On the contrary - it gives us a lot of extra motivation. The hype is real, so the sweat and tears need to be real, too :).

But to the point. Today is the day. If you're seeing this, it means you saw the trailer - our vision of Cyberpunk, an alternative version of the future where America is in pieces, megacorporations control all aspects of civilised life, and gangs rule the rest. And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don't let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 is a true single player, story-driven RPG. You'll be able to create your own character and..., well, you'll get to know the rest from what we show at our booth at E3. Be on the lookout for previews!

Before we finish, you probably have some questions, right?

1. When? When we told you we would only release the game when it's ready, we meant it. We're definitely much, much closer to a release date than we were back then :), but it's still not the time to confirm anything, so patience is still required. Quality is the only thing that drives us - it's the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher.

2. How big? Seriously big, but..., to be honest, we have no bloody clue at this point in time. Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect. And we promise we'll do this before we start talking about any pre-orders or ask anything of you.

3. Free DLC/Expansions/DRM? Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3. As for DRM, CP2077 will be 100% DRM-free on PC.

4. Microtransactions? In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?

Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have a minute, do visit cyberpunk.net and share your opinion (about anything) with us. We read everything you post and we treat it very seriously.

Yours, CD PROJEKT RED Team

No mention of the rumored first-person mode, and the game is explicitly singleplayer. What do you think?

EDIT: I forgot to say, it looks sick as fuck.

Looks really similar. Hopefully it has even less Animus bullshit and goes even further in the action RPG direction than Origins. As long as they keep moving away from the tedious and clunky pre-Origins games I’ll be interested.

@stryker1121:

Another one set on the East Coast, huh. Vault 76 was supposed to open very shortly after the war, 20-ish years. I don’t know enough about the lore to know when the nuclear winter ended, but I really hope this isn’t just all the world assets from 4 with the ”difference” being that it’s set a few states down from Massachusetts.

An alleged ”insider” posting at Resetera claims it isn’t a remaster. Don’t know how credible that is. Considering the proximity to E3 I bet we will have to wait until then to find out and this stream is just to build hype.

Growing more and more convinced that this stream is going to continue like this until the E3 keynote.

@johntunoku:

There is a good series on Youtube examining the Star Citizen racket being made by a former true believer who was invested to the tune of more than $10,000. Really interesting, episode 5 is a good place to start.
