Heh, I half-hoped that CDPR will pull a bold move and the main character in Cyberpunk will be plain Geralt of Rivia with same face, voice, personality and backstory with minimal needed adaptation to future setting

Didn’t some Japanese dev had some idea of using the same characters in different games like they’re actors ?

Swery did it with Forrest Kaysen.

They should do this with the Yakuza characters and their voice actors. Instead of making a Fist of the North Star game, make a Fist of the North Star game with the Yakuza characters playing the FotNS characters.

they did.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

I think they mean the character models should also be the Yakuza ones dressed up as the FotNS characters. That said there is an option to switch Ken's model for Kiryu's, so almost.

they do that for the kenzan/ishin games at least.

Kiryu is one of the greatest characters ever. So drat epic. That said, Kenshiro is too, so I like to see his manly mug as well. I do like the idea of characters like Kiryu showing up in alternate versions, every dimension needs a hero like Kiryu. And a Solid Snake... and a Big Boss...

Now that Amazon doesn't do the prime discounts anymore, is there any place to get this on release day for less than msrp? I don't really care about cosmetic pre-order bonuses or anything if it saves me some cash.

I guess those days are over, since it was Amazon and BestBuy trying to match each other. Was a good few years for deals though. I haven't noticed this kind of discount since then.

Okay, so Kojima doesn't respect spoiler-tags either.

Joking aside, I think this game will be fun...all the strange stuff leaked till now reads like the ultimate Kojima game. I am really looking forward to it.

Oh yes, this will rule. I'm mega hyped, I want to give this game some breathing room as well though. MGS3 knocked my socks so far off, the entire series, best games around for their time for me. MGS being our main comparison.

This is like a new chapter for Hideo, I expect this to be very different. I'm less comparing it to his other games, more taking it in as it's own thing. It looks like the right kind of game for me right now, a lot of wandering an intriguing land, some of that epic surreal emotion and stoic heroism in a grim reality that Hideo does so well. I like that it looks less shooty combat oriented than other games, and in general it looks like a very cool new twist on an exploration open world adventure.

But no doubt you could call it the ultimate Hideo game, since it'll be fully unleashed Hideo doing whatever he wants, full on Hideo. Just big shoes to fill if comparing to each of his previous hits.

That's a LOT of stuff we haven't seen before. I guess most of the videos so far have been from the first three chapters that previewers are allowed to talk about.

My guess is that the first three chapters will be a lot of walking to "reconnect America", then you get to the west coast and poo poo gets real in chapter four onwards.

Very interesting tidbits. Appears Mads is the one that started all this. Is the BB that Norman Peedus carries the same as the one Mads is shown stealing?

I kind of feel like there's some time fuckery with President Amelie. She's usually shown in her prime, but we also see her old and sick and I got the feeling she is BB. Also got the feeling she may be the real villain. Was she seeking immortality and broke the life and death cycle?

Also, was that a dinosaur swimming around at the 3:15 mark?

Kojima, you magnificent bastard.

in typical Kojima fashion, it's revealed that the months of videos we've been seeing are super obviously from just an incredibly narrow slice of probably rather early game stuff because holy poo poo 90% of that video was just wildin out.

Also in typical Kojima fashion, 'my real name...is America' is literally one of the funniest dramatic reveals I've heard in ages
