Then get your friends to play a pen and paper rpg and don't support the game. Good thing you have this info in advance.
The story might not have the same depth and character backstory as the Witcher 3 had but I don't see why it has to be disappointing.
You mean which conference? I think it will be Microsoft based on their previous relationship.
I can see Microsoft due to free marketing and showcasing the XBOX X hardware on it. They already have a good relationship from their advertising on Witcher 3.
Shit im gonna be 87 when Cyberpunk comes out.
Really cant wait to see the game. Its gonna be glorious.

Gotta have them Lootboxes and a stock Deathmatch multiplayer...
The world doesn't have to be bigger in size but they could make it more detailed and focused on more complex interiors mixed in to the world. For example you have a skyscraper and you could put a number of explorable rooms and quests in them, instead of the skyscraper just being there for looks or having 1 tiny room that's explorable. The actual map size could be a bit smaller but in the end there's more to cyberpunk's map if they go that route.
The reason Geralt worked is because he was a character through and through. You had limited control, but his wants were his wants and his desires were his desires. You simply chose the way those wants and desires were filtered in the moment. You could never break who Geralt was in the moment by making a dissonant choice.
A player-defined automaton can't have that kind of depth by merit of the fact that the devs simply can't put that level of characterization into a character who doesn't have a set backstory. It just won't work, the devs don't have the bandwidth to account for everything. Their wants and desires can't be driven by their past or their backstory, meaning they won't be able to react like an actual person. It'll always end up a kind of emotionless robot person like Shepard.
For a developer who currently holds the crown for being one of the best storytellers in the industry, this is a pretty major problem.
Why does it have to be that? Like I said, why can't it be something like Soulsborne's approach to MP? CDPR doesn't strike me as the type of company that is chasing lootboxes.
I'm fine with zero (z-e-r-o) information on Cyberpunk until it's on store shelves as long as the final project is satisfactory. I've waited this long, I can wait further.
Oh my goodness. I cannot wait. I hope they reveal a trailer soon
Cyberpunk is most likely going to be a character creator deal, and have multiplayer. CDPR would then have two AAA series (Witcher with fixed character and single player, and Cyberpunk with created character and multiplayer). That keeps both sets of fans happy.
And yeah, even tho story telling is generally weaker with a created character, if there is anyone out there that can still make it good, it's CDPR.

These are assumptions. We know that the game has multiple classes, but that doesn't mean they are blank slates.
To me it's way more exciting as it potentially allows for conpletely different stories and playstyles.
They'll show us a gameplay trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 at PSX next month. And I'll cry. A lot.
Let me dream.
Let me dream.
I would love to see anything on Cyberpunk. Hopefully it doesn't fall flat with its seemingly huge ambitions.
It's a nice thought, but the realities of development are such that it's unrealistic to believe CDPR will succeed where literally every single RPG developer has tried and failed in the past. The budget would need to be so high it would make Fallout 4 look like Stardew Valley.
- The Cyperpunk team is happy with a currentshape of the game, they are very anxious to finally show it to the world
Music to my ears and eyes.

Well, they did get government funding and the team working on it is way bigger than that of TW3, so who knows.
They've said multiple times it's a much more ambitious game than TW3, so they have to put their money where their mouth is.
Bye then....because the source material encompass a large space to play in and it doesn't just mean a bigger map.
You Must have not seen this from them, because it's been there since the beginning, they've talked about these key points for three years at this point.

My fondest tabletop memories are of playing Cyberpunk. To get the chance to be able to run around in that world would be a whole lot of fun. Really hyped to see more on that.
What makes it unnecessary? Isn't that kind of a kneejerk reaction? It's a new IP; if it's designed with MP in mind, then it isn't unnecessary or nonsense. It's an integral part of a new franchise. It's like hearing From was making this new game called Demons' Souls and saying multiplayer would be unnecessary nonsense in the game,
Is this interview newish? I remember hearing almost the same info from a polish interview with him some time ago. Anyway, all i can say is take your time CDPR, more curious about what is the other game that theyll launch other than CP77 till 2021.
So excited for e3 now. Great that they are heavily invested in Gwent. Need that shit on mobile asap.
I think the map actually can be even bigger than those from The Witcher 3. Cyberpunk is supposed to be set in Night City which is described as megacity with different districts, underground locations, upper parts of the city, etc. Verticality could really add a lot to the size of the world.
It's mostly likely going to be co-op related sandbox type thing. Not GTA.
So i don't get the backlash, hope it will be put to rest like DS backlash. Plus given the game's theme it would be kind of a missed opportunity not to explore that aspect of connectivity and see how it's incorporated into the game.
Bigger in scope doesn't mean a bigger map. If anything, the Cyberpunk's world will probably be smaller and denser but have exponentially more verticality
This game will combine first and third person mechanics. It will have multiple character classes and character customization. It will have means to complete missions with classes as diverse as Corporate businessman and hacking Netrunner. It will have non-linear progression with augmentations and dynamic conversations and factions. And so on
Thus it will have a much bigger ambitious scope than Witcher 3.
My point is that CDP is great at making singleplayer games, and I don't want them to waste resources on multiplayer that I do not care about, personally. Witcher 3 would have been a worse game if it had less great quests because they had to dedicate manpower to some multiplayer mode that I wouldn't use anyway.
Well the game is going to have both the outskirts and night-city. So there's gonna to be a lot. But of course unlike with the dark medieval europe setting that created. I mean it should still be pretty expansive but in a more controlled manner. Without having to do what Witcher 3 did with splitting it apart. Since there aren't a bunch of different night-cities to travel to.

It is a recent interview, it was posted two days ago. But yeah, Kiciński said a lot of similiar things in the past about scope of CP2077.
I wouldn't mind campaign co-op. Was fun playing Divinity 2 with a friend.
Well Witcher isn't based on a P&P rpg tabletop game. A game that usually has multiple players playing like most games of it's ilk. So i don't see why it would be weird for CDP wouldn't want it for CP 2077.
Plus because its not your money and it's being paid for with something in mind specifically. You don't have to use if if you don't want. Also it's doesn't say anything about a "Mode" not talking about COD here.
It's going to be create-your-character like most rpgs are, it's not a set protag like the Witcher.
Doing that would kind of take away from what Cyberpunk (the Pen and paper game) is about.
Also this doesn't mean the story has to suffer, like at all.
Take a look at Mass Effect, you could create your own Shepard (male or female) and it had some great storytelling and character moments in it, especially ME2.
Was the Fallout 4 budget that high?
It was a "small" team of 130 so people, using a mostly crusty engine that has long since been amortized.
Probably Xbox Microsoft had a marketing deal for the Witcher 3 and with how successful that game was I cant imagine them not trying to get their next game on a deal as well.
Shepard did nothing for me, I'm afraid. The robotic, stilted voice direction, the complete lack of investment the character had in literally anything that was going on...it was just empty. I gave up after 2 because I didn't give a damn about Shepard or the core conflict. Just an empty puppet of a character. The only "character moments" were related to the romances, and I didn't like any members of the cast enough to bother with that.
It's actually half the reason I'm not excited about a character creator in this game. If Shepard is the gold standard for sockpuppet character writing, we're in for a rough ride. I need a player character I actually care about. Someone with actual emotions.
I still watch that trailer from time to time. It's incredible.
Holy shit. This is pretty huge.
