Here's CD Projekt RED's New Thing, Cyberpunk 2077

Man that logo looks awesome

SHIIIIIIAAAATTT MY BRITCHES. CHECK MY OIL. OTHER WHIMSY SAYINS. HAWTDAMN - the please let it be cyberpunk witcher!

I don't care about CG trailers anymore, show gameplay or it's meaningless.

When it's ready,

meaning

don't hold your breath

The attention to detail is mindboggling. CD Project deserve a "bad ass" tag.

So excited.

I'm in.

Oh God that logo. I'm to young to even nail down if that's too 90s or too 80s but damn is it dated. It's actually kind of turning me off.

Way to miss the point.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIVE IT TO ME NOW INJECT IT INTO MY BLOOD

Fuck yes, I want all of this inside of me

Well i'm fucking in already. Lets do this.

the poster of the girl in the teddy in the storefront is nearly completely identical to the artwork in my cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper handbook. its nuts

"Archive - Bullets" is the song, if anyone was wondering.

Thanks!

Cool.

As long as I can collect a digital card deck featuring tawdry pictures of the cyber ladies I seduced I'll be happy

Witcher Guys + Cyber Punk = Holy Fucking Shit... Want this badly.

Awesome!

I don't know if CD Projekt Red is on the "when it's ready" level of developer yet, but sure.

I think they have more then earned it.

There's actually no chance it isn't an RPG, since it's already announced that it's an RPG, by a studio that only makes RPGS..

Also it's about damn time a game about personal responsibility is made! Them kids need to learn.

Well, they're two for two, but I don't know that I'd extrapolate to that extent based on that, really. Especially if they have a Witcher 3 coming...

...and it's not like The Witcher 2 is a particularly old-school RPG, what with the real time, actiony, 360 controller-driven combat and all.

So... given up on actually coming up with names for games anymore, huh?

Nice, stylish trailer, though. Although the whole "it'll be out when it's ready" thing makes CD Projekt feel like they are pushing a bit too hard to come across as... well, Valve.

I believe they got the creator of the original Cyberpunkt P&P on board plus the official license. So why not go with a well known and established franchise name? That way people at least know what to expect to a certain degree.

And actually it had been 3D Realms with Duke Nukem Forever that keyed the "when it's done" phrase first afaik. Sure Valve time is a similar concept but one could argue that even Blizzard has used that exact same sentiment before too.

I also don't think CD Projekt is pushing it hard, imho they are among the few developers out there that stay true to their roots and still respect their customer base even after making it big time. That's not something one should take for granted (Bioware, Blizzard *cough cough*) So if anybody has the right to drop a line like that and still stay believable, it's CD Projekt.

Sure, but at that point why even raise the point in the teaser? And they're quite cheeky about it, too, with the meaningful pause before the text and all that. Not that they're not entitled to release the game when they damn well please, but that touch at the end of the trailer felt a bit off to me. Definitely not even close to a dealbreaker, though.

As for the franchise name... meh. I hadn't heard of The Witcher and I hadn't heard of this, and I'm pretty darn nerdy. The difference being that "The Witcher" is actually a pretty cool title that doesn't lead to any misconceptions and sounds nice and marketable. Cyberpunk... not so much. I feel like having a proper title with the Cyberpunk thing attached as a subtitle ("Cyborg Bulletproof Seminaked Ladies: A Cyberpunk Adventure"!) would have been a better choice, along the lines of the Dawn of War series, for instance. Again, not a dealbreaker, but it's not like we have anything else to discuss from this, so...

To each their own. I was right with Penny Arcade when they cheekily skewered the Witcher name when it was first (or very early on regardless) announced. Turns out the game was great. As a Cyberpunk player that transitioned from 2013 to 2020, I welcome the Cyberpunk: Year motif as it actually says a lot while also raising a whole lot of other questions.

This is not a good trailer. This is more of the same bullshit that the games industry marketing people have been putting out lately, with only vague connections to the actual game in question. Show me a video game please, otherwise I do not care about your cinematics and your quick cuts and your oh so artistic music choices.

Dude calm the hell down. This is a teaser/reveal trailer. Do you know what purpose a teaser/reveal trailer serves? To give you insight about what the tone and atmosphere of the game is going to be. Gameplay trailers are revealed later on...

Anyways, I built a new PC for the Witcher 2 so I could play it at max and I love CD Projekt Red, so I will definitely be looking forward to this one, if it is anywhere near the quality of the Witcher.

So...Ghost in the Shell. Sold

Very stylish.

So, what actually happens in the trailer?

Pleasure-bot with weird mods goes on killing spree, gets deactivated and recruited by special bot-hunting unit of the PD?

@paulwade1984 said:

I Hope the girl is the player character and not the generic dude bro awesomo super cop.

Also, gotta agree with this. Prepare for disappointment. But still.

It seems like that's exactly what happens. People speculating that the whole trailer besides that end sequence is a flashback to how she was recruited.

I wonder if you are right about if the PC is the cop or the girl. The interview on the game right now on IGN says the PC is "he" though so I'm thinking you are the guy. You can customize your character but you have to be male is my best guess but I could be wrong.

Having the player be a crazy cyborg that was reprogrammed would be really cool but even if she's just kind of your partner or "Triss" if you will that'd be a really interesting character to interact with.

Someone's also mentioned this, but extending the point, people in this setting can go all 'borg, transferring their brains into robot bodies and not just bolting on cybernetic arms and whatnot, with a heavy cost in your ability to actually function in society. People that are unlucky/foolish/not all that empathic to begin with can randomly snap going cyberpsycho, necessitating the (in this case) Night City PD to call in their C-SWAT with .50 cals and armored airships. If taken down nonlethally (good luck) the psychosis can be alleviated with a lot of surgery, drugs, and psychiatry to eventually come back, though usually it requires the removal of most of the gear.

Point being, a cyborg in this setting probably isn't reprogrammed (at least in the technological sense) as it still is operating with a human brain, and might be a workable PC.

This is not a good trailer. This is more of the same bullshit that the games industry marketing people have been putting out lately, with only vague connections to the actual game in question.

@Stimpack said:

Where's my Prey 2?

Exactly.

@turboskerv:

It's named for the pen and paper RPG on which it's based and whose name was fairly less dumb 25 years ago.

@IcarusFoundYou said:

WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT THEIR OWN GUY?

Seriously hype for this

Could be excused that everyone on a C-SWAT squad hunting down someone that just went psychotic from too much cyberwear would be similarly enhanced. That said, have to agree there was probably a better way to do that.

Also second the hype. Completely geeked out about this game and the setting.

My interest has been piqued.

Awesome, love the Alt nod in the bus station ad, and what looks like Wolvers 2.0 coming out the lady's forearms.

The real question. Do you get picked up by Trauma Team or can you choose REO Meatwagon if a Friday night firefight goes south?

I started replaying Deus ex HR this week man the game really holds up at least in terms of the gameplay and theme I really enjoy the cyberpunk style.This game looks so awesome but unfortunately where going to have to wait to 2015 according to IGN.

The song for the trailer sounds so much like a knockoff Radiohead cover.

WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT THEIR OWN GUY?

Deus Ex?

Great trailer. I like the Cyberpunk 2020 game and love The Witcher.

I think some guys are reading too much into the "when it's ready" statement. Sounds a bit better than "we don't know when it's going to be finished" doesn't it?

This reminds me of the anime AD Police

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Daaangg

Love everything cyberpunk.

Haha, you know what I mean. Even she has an exaggerated chest :P

I'm talking about their obesession with sex scenes, or randomly inserting nudity into their games, or more importantly giving all the mainline women gigantic tits.

It always makes me feel bad that I haven't finished Witcher 2. It does so many things so right that parts of it are just amazing. This looks super intriguing. Thinking of the kind of adult and grey they could inject into this game, something I wish games like the new Deus Ex had a little bit more of, makes me want this; now. Time to wait.

I'll have to look for the article, but I could have sworn that the devs said the character is player created; there was something about how the customizability of the main character was comparable to how you made your character in the PnP that this game is based on.

Well when it ready means "you better get a gaming PC by that time" for me so that's good.

Huge fan of CD Projekt RED, here. Love the Witcher games to death and it's good to know the studio is still in the game. Also, yeah, great trailer. Really well done. ...I laughed at the release date. Does that make me a bad person?

@abara: I just wanted to comment and say your comment is terrific. Keep up the good work!

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe."

They fucking nailed the look of it, and with the talent behind the awesome Witcher games the promise gives me goosebumps.

They really know how to make trailers though - or at least, know the right people to outsource that shit to. That was great. And the trailer for Witcher 2 enhanced edition is probably the best trailer I've ever seen.

This looks fantastic. Witcher 2 was amazing, so I look forward to seeing more

I don't know if CD Projekt Red is on the "when it's ready" level of developer yet, but sure.

eughh.....

I hope there's a lot of detective style missions.

@Nethlem: I am don't think I said he was going to be one of the programmers or anything in that resemblance. After getting hyped up I watched the official youtube channel and watch the summer thing that cd project red had. and he is one of the dudes that is going to expand the world in the pnp game so it can go into the video game. If I rember some minutes correctly.

But the whole GitS is bothering me because the whole story more or less is about the perception of human mind and if you've where one of the people that liked it for the story and its brilliance at that. Where the show and manga brings more questions then answers to the audience, and if you don't like the whole philosophy with the mind then the point of series as a whole is pointless IMO.

Because as I could remember it the whole story arc of "The Laughing Man" was more or less philosophical in the end where, he was not sure about humans and what makes human, human in the sense of the word. After all he had a perception, so why was he less then human? That was the whole point of that arc to question the audience instead of giving them a simple moral answer which would make the whole arc pointless if they would do that.

I wish more films or games would do that but its quite hard to pull it off because of the whole reading modern philosophy and understanding it to the level of master wizard. And then dumb it down a little for normal audience like you and me .

Then leave clues for a second run-trough of said film, TV show or video game.

So yes maybe people that really did not get the whole philosophy of GitS. Would only see it as a sexual attractive human looking robot that fights crime, and other robots goes berserk and then she comes in. And then they have meaningless conversation that is just a filler for the next episode or scene. Then I either feel really dumb for paying attention at it all or just person that loves anime and some manga that gets obsessed with it, if its a great story to be told.

Again sorry for my grammar.
