    The concept art for the different styles in the game is class.

    That just makes me more frustrated that it isn't third person. Yeah yeah, you can see your character in cutscenes and menu screens. But I want to see the created Cyberpunk character with all the amazing customisation options all the time.

    Because your cars and bikes have AI, you can call for them like Roach and they'll drive themselves right up to you. Well that's just neat.

    "Each apartment you own has a huge garage for your vehicle collection. You can then pick a main bike or car that arrives when you call it out in the world.

    Cars and vehicles are a lot of work.

    Here's a cover from book to give you an idea on what might come after you.

    It will be nice to call my bike after cleaving up my enemies with a futuristic katana.
    I wonder how running from the police will function.

    Yeah I'm mad to see katana melee in action and watching the 2018 gameplay earlier, i was thinking the same about police.

    Looking back at the start of this thread, it was mad wondering if it would come out on ps3 and the leaked release date of September 2017 :)

    That's an unnecessary amount of yellow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,601 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I don't like the sounds when navigating the menu, gonna stick to my current one.

    Got the FF9 theme on my PS4, will likely only change it to the FF8 when that comes out.

    The clicking sound is great.

    Have the FF7 theme on my PS4 which you get when you buy the game.

    Its nice, the Aeris music always gets me though.

    Saw this elsewhere and said I'd post it, additional info about the game

    https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-cyberpunk-2077-details-from-new-demo-inventory-mini-games-interactive-discussions-more/
    Some merchants will offer unique items and discounts only for a specified period of time or at specific times.
    You can buy various clothes like long jackets, sneakers, t-shirts, …
    Example of programs that a netrunnet can buy: a program to disable cybernetic eyes or another to block a cybernetic member
    As you advance your hacking skills, the options will expand from a simple door opening to controlling cameras or turrets and more.
    Mini-games related to hacking will be different depending on the installation you hack.
    Bots can also hack at a distance
    Increases are performed only from a specialist but minor changes will be possible by ourselves such as improving our mantis blade by adding poison
    You can increase your skills by finding a trainer or by installing certain implants
    The scarcity of objects corresponds to its availability rate in stores. The more rare an object is, the more street cred will it take for a seller to offer it to us
    Street Cred will also increase the quality of buyable components for crafting
    They have changed the way to show the damage compared to the 2018 demo and try several methods to indicate the damage taken by the opponent without flooding the screen with numbers (the numbers are still there but in smaller quantities) like adding special animations
    The inventory will be limited according to the weight that can be transported
    When V uses a glass bottle to shatter it on the skull of an opponent, this results in a bloody visual effect and the shard of the bottle is still usable for impaling it in the body of an opponent
    Example of interactive discussion between V and Placide in the demo: during the conversation, a henchman enters the room with a message. If V looks at this character, new dialog options appear to interact with him that, according to the devs, will have an impact on the conversation with Placid if used.
    When Placide forces V to connect to the network to be monitored during his mission, an interruption is possible if we have Street Kid because only a child of the street knows the way gangs work.
    More details about the boss fight with Sasquatch: The fight takes place in a small room with interactive objects. The boss can use these items to prevent us from reaching his back. It is possible to avoid the fight
    Each attribute and skill goes up to level 10. There are 60 perks too (5 per skill) and each perks has 5 levels of progression
    You can combine skills with doping products like the slow motion effect during a hacking to have more time. This was used during a fight against an Animals in order to have time to hack him
    In the demo, V is level 18 with a street cred level 12. Brigitte is level 45 and was the highest level NPC met in the demo.
    If you take a driver out of his car to rob him and there is a gang or the police around, a violent response will be felt
    When you want to pause the main quest, there will be a lot of side quests available. On top of that, there will be many events happening across the city and how to interfere with it can lead to a quest. In addition to that, Night City brings together many activities. Unlike The Witcher 3, there will not be a classic quest table to tell us what to do when doing it. However, optical improvements will make it possible to simulate through the augmented reality the highlighting of certain points in the environment.
    Braindance is an important part of simulating someone’s memories.
    Everyone will not be increased in the same way. The richest will have increases that only they can have. Others will not want improvement by religious conviction. The idea is not to create a homogeneous but very different population
    Cyberpsychose is present in the game. Our character can not reach it but through quests or scripted events, we can see the damage to the improvements on the psyche.
    Religions are still very present in Night City. Our vision of Cyberpunk is not to describe an alternative world but a continuity of our world. Some things will look like our current reality. For example, Christianity is present in the game and will even have a faction.
    “The journalist says that the presence of religion is likely to create a scandal”, which CDP respond with: “We will not avoid any subject, even if they may offend the sensitivity of some. We are not here to say whether it is good or bad.
    With Cyberpunk, CDP has also exacerbated community membership as a way for people to protect themselves from danger and poverty.
    The type of your character will be at your convenience. You will not necessarily choose strictly a man or a woman. One can have a male body with feminine attributes, a feminine voice and feminine hair. The type of voice will impact how NPCs will perceive us.

    Why the spoiler tags ^^^?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,749 ✭✭✭Smiles35


    It's an adult game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,878 ✭✭✭Robert ninja


    Like the sound of the perks and upgrading. Having lots of builds and combinations keeps things fresh on new playthroughs. Also glad to hear they've gone with a more visual way of showing damage effectiveness. I'm not allergic to numbers like some are but I'll always accept more intuitive ways of knowing what's working.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,601 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    First thing i did in the last 2 games i played with numbers popping out of enemies (days gone and far cry new dawn) was turn off the numbers. Thankfully they had that option. When i watch videos of them with it left as default, it looks so much worse.

    In case someone sees it & is trying to avoid spoilers, not viewing trailers, etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,868 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Yeah, i've seen what I want to see of this game and don't want to see/know any more until it's out. So the spoiler tags are very welcome! I'll try not to read this thread just in case, but the 'New Posts' icon is so tempting!

    Here's What CD Projekt Red Really Said About Religion in Cyberpunk 2077

    In case anyone saw the big reddit threads & got their knickers in a twist.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,878 ✭✭✭Robert ninja


    They're going to go as soft as possible on the religion topic so not to offend anyone? Really unafraid of the controversy there, lads.

    Poland has anti blasphemy laws, and does prosecute; an artist was recently arrested for using the virgin mary in a LGBT art piece. CD Projekt Red are likely protecting their ass from a court case they would likely find themselves involved in, were they to critique religion.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,878 ✭✭✭Robert ninja


    But they didn't say that. They said they're walking on egghsells with the topic so as not to offend anyone, not because it's illegal. Which fits the company's behavior where they spilled their guts apologising for daring to post a screenshot of a game they sell. If they can't touch the topic correctly because of Polish law just say so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,470 ✭✭✭SolvableKnave


    Would you not think "walking on egghsells with the topic so as not to offend anyone" could relate to "Poland has anti blasphemy laws, and does prosecute"?

    Why do they need to say so: ZERO professional companies are going to say publicly "we're not touching that subject because there's a good chance we'll be arrested?". There's a thing called a diplomatic answer.

    It's a pretty big jump to make and although not an impossbility they've folded like a cheap suit in other instances that had nothing to do with law. This is more like avoiding controversy than appeasing their country's laws. They get tax benefits or some kind of welfare last I checked just because they're such a stand-up company (a benefit other studios in Poland don't get and therefore creates uneven competition). I doubt their country would follow through with any kind of prosecution.

    Why shouldn't they? Why hide it? It's not illegal to say you're going to operate within your country's laws.

    They could say it in other ways and still be clear about the reason. But since they've only said that they just don't want to offend anyone (an impossible task with this topic) then then I'm going to believe that's the reason.

    Portray X religion negatively: Members offended
    Portray X religion positively: Non believers and rival religions offended
    Portray X religion as neutral: Offended anyway + criticised for not tackling the subject honestly.
    I am cruious to see what www.christcenteredgamer.com will make of it upon release. Although being able to mix male/female attributes, hire prostitutes and see nudity will make it quite unpopular in Islamic regions I suspect, for the ones where it's not outright banned that is. It's a lose-lose trying to please everyone.

    Not everything is a conspiracy or scandal.

    They certainly haven't changed anything in their game because of a potential backlash after a misinterpreted interview a few weeks ago.

    Well, never let it be said there wasn't a molehill gamers couldn't turn into a mountain ;)

    Firstly, it's just a theory, based on a known quantity in Poland and its active and very public anti-blasphemy laws. Second, even if it is true, they don't owe anyone an explanation to step back from a creative decision, on a totally ancillary aspect, of an already sprawling game.

    Not wanting to cause offence, and bringing the inevitable - if ironic, given how you're receiving it - outrage upon their house, seems like a prudent & sensible decision. If they don't feel like they can tackle the subject deftly enough, it likely ain't worth the hassle.

    People are abusing themselves with technology. What are CDPR going to say about psychologists and social workers?
