From the last interview it seemed like lots of major details (like, if the main character is gonna be affected by cyberpsychosis or not) are still not nailed down, which doesn't bode well for a 2019 release date.

If it's any consolation, early year seems to be the new hot window, so it might only be 18-22 months :unsmith:

quote:

"As someone who grew up playing Cyberpunk 2020 and 3rd Edition and stuff like that, someone who grew up reading cyberpunk short fiction, loving cyberpunk as a genre, wishing there was more of it, this felt like it got it. It understood that it is an aesthetic, but it also is something about class, something about material relationships between different types of people. And, I think one of the most important things is, when you think about Deus Ex, when you think about Syndicate, when you think about so many games in this type of fiction... When you get cyberpunk, what you get is a person in a position of power. You almost always get a secret agent, or a corporate agent or something like that. [In this game] You're a down-on-their-luck... Barely making it by..."

"Cyberpunk's feeling of threat and pressure is that it's anybody. Everyone is so put-upon and so down-on-their-luck, everyone is looking for a leg up, everyone is looking for any opportunity, and many people don't see you as a person at all and they will just gently caress you over."

"It's capitalism"

"There have been a lot of games this E3 that have used the term "oppression". It's actually become sort of a trendy buzzword. This was the only game I saw this E3 that felt like... You felt oppressed. And also, everyone else is oppressed too."

"Most games are a power fantasy. This is a setting about the underprivileged, the underclass. Yes, you want to get yours, you want to move up the chain, but what does it mean to move along that chain?"

"We spent 20 minutes talking to this dude and he was like "Well yeah, in the 80's Reagan and Thatcher were a big cause of what cyberpunk turns out to be..." Yes there is a perspective in this game. This is a game about oppression. This is a game about class. This is a game about economic instability"

"I liked that the line that he uses was "We're not going to tell you what the message is, but we're not going to pretend there's not a message. We've thought about this stuff. We've thought about what this game is communicating. We're not here to tell you "This is what your takeaway from the game should be", but of course there's something there""

I am weirdly surprised they liked it, glad they did though. i have only seen one or 2 people not like it but none of them played the demo.

No one has played the demo, except CD Projekt. And I’m not sure why you’re surprised Waypoint liked it, everything I’ve heard about this game puts it so far up their alley it’s crazy.

Yeah I'd like to believe that too but it's probably a vertical slice of the game. Hopefully they're further along than we hoped but at this point I'm just hoping they can make the 2020 release.

Could be, but the first E3 trailers for Witcher 3 looked like vertical slices and turned out to be chunks of the game. I'd say most of the game is set in stone, and the next year and a half will be finishing off the quests, polishing the art, and then squashing the bugs.

Christmas 2019 is my guess for the street date but they will push it back to March 2020 after announcing it. :smug:

People that watched gameplay said it didn't look like it would require next gen to run the game. Who knows though. I'll get it on PC and probably get a new one for this game as it's going to very likely ram directly into my current upgrade timeframe.

It doesn't look that much more advanced than Witcher 3. Not to say that Witcher 3 isn't a pretty game (because it is), but maybe I won't have to upgrade my system to play it.

Of course, my system is likely due for an upgrade within a year or two anyways.

As much as I’m really hyped for this game, I do wonder how real of a criticism of capitalism it can be, considering that as an RPG, inevitably the numbers will go up. By gameplay necessity you will end up bootstrapping your way up to the higher echelons of society.

Like, I love the Witcher 3, but that game starts out with Geralt as a member of an underclass who gets spat at on the street, but by the end you have an ungodly amount of cash, the most valuable armour and weapons in the world, you’re pals with most of the crowned heads and power players in the region, your adopted daughter is next in line to become empress, you are gifted a beautiful villa with a farm and attendant staff, and you basically own a castle in Kaer Morhen.
