Rumor: Cyberpunk 2077 is an FPS (Mod Edit: Official early documents say both first & third person)

CD Projekt Red has been making games for sixteen years now and there are three Witcher RPGs in their portfolio (excluding Gwent for the moment, since it's a card game), in which we always watched our protagonist from the third person perspective. That's why we could safely assume that the Warsaw-based studio will keep that feature in their upcoming title, Cyberpunk 2077. As we unofficialy found out, this time the thing will be completely different and the game will actually be a FPP game with elements characteristic for role-playing games.

If the abovementioned information turns out to be true, we're in for a serious treat. Cyberpunk 2077 in a first-perspon perspective would be a direct competition to games like System Shock , Prey, and most of all – Deus Ex that always bathed deeply in cyberpunk. Looking back at CD Projekt Red's gamedev achievements, we don't suspect the game to be a regular shooter, but rather an action game full of RPG elements that will offer the players many ways of solving problems; basically, it should be closer to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided than BioShock .

Our source also confirmed that both CD Projekt studios – based in Warsaw and Cracow – are hard at work, with the latter currently focusing on a fragment of the game, the action of which will take place on the Moon . The game is supposed to be fast-paced, and one of the features that the studio is working on is wall-running, similar to the one we already saw in Titanfall games.

MOD Edit: For the sake of clarity, early documentation from CDPR's Siggraph talk in 2013 already cited the game will have both a first and third person option:

Wait... I'm pretty sure this was already very much known.

Like, we've known this for years!

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

I was always expecting this. I hope it's true.

 

[Deleted member 39587]

I mean I'd like it to be 3P with 1P option but an immersive sim type of experience is also cool i guess.

 

[SpaceRipperStingyEyes]

That's... really not what I want. But I have faith in CD Projekt so I'm still hype.

 

[Captain Arabia]

Maybe both first and third like fallout and star wars battlefront.

 

[2Blackcats]

I'm for first person. Not sure about wall running, well unless it's a skill you learn/upgrade.

Nope, was always said to be TP and FP

 

[Avis]

Hell yeah

 

[Puffy]

I don't like this.

 

[-PyramidSong]

Sucks if true

 

[tiebreaker]

Ugh, probably a hard pass from me.

 

[Ahasverus]

Hard pass if not third person mode.

 

[Swauny Jones]

This news just kind of killed my excitement for the game a little. Anyhow I still expect it to be a good game at launch.

 

[Dinobot]

I didn't know this, and I'm slightly disappointed. I would have loved to see the main character on screen with cool armor and weapons and such, but it's not a deal breaker.

Immersive sims like Deus Ex and Prey were great for me.

 

[Much]

Could be fine. If it plays similar to how Crysis did, then I'm good with that. You know, one of the best FPS's to date in my mind.

 

[Deleted member 16876]

I am in either way but I thought you could choose between FP and TP?

 

[Chibs]

Wait... I'm pretty sure this was already very much known.

Like, we've known this for years!

Really? I always thought it was a TPS?

 

[Hektor]

Nope, was always said to be TP and FP

yea this was the last thing we've known

be still, my beating heart

[Deleted member 8593]

Would be amazing if it was first person only. I don't trust CD Project Red to make a good combat system in third person.

 

[36 Chambers]

Please be a FPS!!! I'll actually be interested if so

 

[Smurf]

Hm. Interesting.

I'm down for that.

 

[Zelas]

Hope the option for 3PP is available. And that their wont be any first person stealth elements.

 

[The Almighty Tria]

Considering how bad they are with third person combat, I don't mind then trying something new

 

[Deleted member 39587]

I really doubt this rumour though. I don't think CDPR would make Cp FP only - they are known for a TP franchise and people like that.

 

[asheliaX]

I can't do first person RPGs. That perspective gives me crazy motion sickness and I can only play first person games in short bursts. This would make me very sad if true.

 

[Deleted member 249]

I want a third person option, at least

 

[Fiel]

I thought i heard somewhere from solid source that the game will be both 1st and 3rd. Can be switch at will just like Skyrim.

 

[808s & Villainy]

For some reason I kind of always assumed this. Like it would be like a Deus Ex kind of thing

 

[Venom]

Well it was always known to be first and third person? I doubt this rumour very much.

 

[Number9]

They said they would try to mix both.

 

[Deleted member 721]

Like Deus ex then

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I immediately pictured Human Head's Prey 2 but more RPG

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I mean, we've known for a realllly long time that this was a shooter/stealth game.

Not sure if the perspective matters much.

Or if even the perspective is mostly first person, that the game won't have a lot of third person elements (see, the last cyberpunk shooter/stealth RPG: Deus Ex Mankind Divided).

 

[Keasar]

Thought we kinda knew this already.
I guess that they mean that it's First-Person "Only"? Cause that would be new. Before it was talks that it would be switching between third and first person.

Anyway, still CD Project, still Cyberpunk, still hyped.

That's what we heard from the devs multiple times. Sure, plans change but that seems kinda fundamental to the design...

 

[Deleted member 11214]

.

 

[Sabretooth]

Holy crap, yes. I wasn't expecting this, but I'm absolutely down for a CDPR-made Deus Ex game.

 

[Vinc]

Nope, was always said to be TP and FP

Click to shrink...

Damn, that escaped my mind then! Was always expecting this.

 

[Tarot Deck]

Sounds like Deus Ex

 

[Nintendo]

I hope so but I thought this was known.

 

[Mediking]

Noooooooooo

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Didn't know that this was a known thing


but man is this disappointing. Well I trust there is a good reason behind it

 

[s y]

I wonder how they'll fuck up the movement and controls in first person?

 

[Mecha Meister]

Wow this is really interesting if true!

 

[mejin]

 

[NinjaDBL]

Please no

 

[Deleted member 13560]

I hope TP and FP are both in. I would like to see what I look like from time to time.
