As long as hitting someone with a technopipe feels as visceral as it did in Condemned I'm down. Might have to go the Netrunner route just to get the ability to melt everyone's frontal lobe cybernetics.

It's not cyberpunk in the slightest, just FYI. It's a Japanese survival horror game, but "sight-jacking" is a core mechanic and exactly what you described. I love that CDPR is reinforcing the capitalist hellhole by turning the HUD into augs that cost money.

JBP posted:I'll be extremely surprised if rocker isn't a faction or origin you can choose from. I think they'll keep it flexible (so you do side missions to align as a rockerboy/corp/cop) but you get the cool clothes and maybe some stats, items, allies or cred for it. The interview that one of the devs had earlier today made it sound like you would meet lots of Rocker or Corporate NPCs but not necessarily be able to incorporate some of those classes into your own character, but who knows.

I think you can count on a 2020 release. It's too good to resist. Deus Ex HR does a good job of aping the original's gameplay, but the writing is just awful. Lazy speculation on the future from the vantage point of 2013 or whenever it was released. No characters act like human beings. The world doesn't make sense as a prequel. Augmentation is elevated to a crazy level of prominence as a social issue. Basically everything in the Ross' Game Dungeon review is on point. Mankind Divided was more of the same which turned me off even though I got it for free. Just play the original Deus Ex with mods. Or Ruiner.

Look Sir Droids posted:I felt the same way, but I blame the first person perspective. DXHR is the best FPS stealth game I’ve played, for what it’s worth. But FPS can never accomplish the peripheral vision and situational awareness of actual first person perspective. 3rd person compensates too much, but too much is better than too little in a stealth game. Have you played Dishonored? I thought it handled FPS stealth very well, even if you don't use the x-ray vision option that has become omnipresent in games for the last decade.

I figure it's one of those gestalt things. I've seen several people describe the demo as overwhelming. It seems to be borrowing from lots of different sources and games and just presenting everything in a very dense, polished package.

The dissolution of traditional family units is one of the interesting things about the setting to me. Kids mostly turn into street waifs and join gangs or wind up in nomad tribes on the outskirts. I'll be interested to see if nomads show up in the game at all since it seems like driving is going to be for navigating in between Night City districts rather than going outside Night City.

As far as I can tell none of them got to play the game so that's probably why no one has mentioned how it feels. The lasting impressions I've gotten have been about how Night City is incredibly dense and alive to a degree not yet seen in an open world game, and that everything is very fluid and seamless in terms of how your character interacts with the world.

If you listen to the leaked audio from the demo you can clearly hear Ciri sneeze at 13:41. Really though it was cool to hear the "wows" in the crowd when they were showing off the crowd density and stuff. Jackie's VA sounded like a mix between John DiMaggio, Danny Trejo, and one of those Arkham City goons. V sounds a bit smug which I guess is in keeping with her male counterpart's performance in the trailer. I have a feeling V's arc will be "headstrong nobody tries to take a bite out of Night City until they've bitten off more than they can chew."

Honestly, I bet they're gonna put some sort of Ciri tease in there anyway. Everyone expects it so it's natural enough for them to play it off - even if some of the devs are annoyed with being asked about it or the idea of connecting the two games. Cyberpunk 2020 has an insanely detailed character creation system, and I'm curious to see how much of that carries over into 2077. Not only is there your standard stuff like gender, ethnicity, and appearance but the whole Life Path system can make for some interesting backstories. Like, your parents can sell you for money into a CyberPirate fleet and all you have left of them is a family photo. Maybe someone else in the fleet frames you for a murder and now you're hunted by every Solo in town. Maybe you have a crazy ex-lover in a position of power who has an axe to grind. I know there's only so much they can do for a video game since tabletops allow for tons of variability with the player's imagination but it would be cool for a bunch of these Life Path options to be available in the character creation section, with maybe a few lines of dialog or an item or two to reinforce the Life Path in-game.

I was kinda hoping for the option of completing the game with no cybernetics at all, if only to have a Hell difficulty after beating the game a few times.

I'm hoping they release at least part of it during Gamescom in August. In the meantime I'm reading the 2020 second edition gamebook and the Night City supplement book. There are some cool videos on YouTube of being going through character creation and running a game. Not surprising that character creation can take hours with how complex the system is.

Psychotic Weasel posted:Jumping back to the previous topic for a moment, are there not neo-Luddite or anti-aug communities in the Cyberpunk universe? Places where the residents have rejected cybernetics and ostracize, drive our or kill any one that strays into their territory? Not that there would be room for any such places in Night City but maybe if the (inevitable) DLC expands the map and we can go wandering around outside the city to see how rural California has become an even bigger hell hole they could factor into things. There are a couple gangs that never or rarely use cybernetics as far as I can tell. One is a small-time Warriors-style gang called The Black Queens and another is a gang that sort of idolizes the image of the American Indian. Like its members have warrior prowess rituals like counting coup and the red right hand so using cyberware or cyberweapons is considered dishonorable. They're called the Sacred Blades.

I know CDPR has said that some characters are bisexual (and maybe V can be?), but it seems like having trans and non-binary characters would work well in a world where people basically don't consider their biology/organs to be anything essential to their identity. People with cybernetics treat removing their eyeball or hand like we would going to the dentist. On the other hand the whole cyberpsychosis thing could have weird implications. I'm only partway through Witcher 3 and the only thing I've noticed so far was a couple contrived nude scenes. Otherwise the characters and the world seem believable and relatable.

Dapper_Swindler posted:they said they were looking into trans options and gender fluidity at e3, hell they told waypoint that. Also cyberpyscosi is basically when you start replacing your arms with guns and parts of your brain with target computers. If you start turning your self into T-800. You act like it. True, I guess it's treated more like a growing lack of empathy due to all the crazy poo poo going into your brain.

Definitely read the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebooks if you can. CDPR could get more than enough depth in the places, characters, politics, and tech to make countless interesting quests and storylines. That's to say nothing of source inspiration outside of the tabletop. You've got Philip K Dick, William Gibson, Katsuhiro Otomo, Tsutomo Nihei, etc. They have a lot to work with.

frajaq posted:...even the barrels in the ocean in Skellige? I did all of these so I had enough money and materials for every set of grandmaster armor, and it's probably the only tedious thing about doing every little marker. That's mostly because swimming is slow and the nekkers and sirens are tedious to fight. I expect I'll do every little thing in Cyberpunk too, and it seems like there's gonna be good replay value.

fennesz posted:I'm expecting something very similar to DX:HR stealth. Not incredibly deep by any means, but I'm expecting augments, perks and weapons to give you a lot of options regardless of however you end up wanting to play. Hacking/Netrunning is definitely something I want to see more of. OG Deus Ex let you use hacking to bypass or neutralize lots of hostile areas by turning off cameras, unlocking doors, or making patrol bots friendly. I really want to do a lady V stealth Netrunner corpo run so hopefully hacking has a lot of depth and variety.

I guess my brain is broken because brain dance looked really cool to me but most people who got to play the game seemed not to like it. I get that it conjures up that interminable "enhance" scene from Blade Runner but it looks like a nice refinement of Witcher sense, and it seems perfectly fitting as a popular form of entertainment in this setting.

Utgardaloki posted:I mean the dystopia we're currently building is ruled by people who absolutely loathe public transport funding and construction so it's depressingly realistic True but as an extension of '80s urban decay and neoliberalization it kinda sucks not to have a usable subway system in there. I doubt it will bother me much in practice, especially if the driving feels good. I had always figured it would function as a fast travel system so I'd be curious to see what will fill that gap. Maybe taxis or just the Witcher system of warping from an overworld map.
