Yeah, genres evolve and change all the time. Having a strict genre always felt odd it me.
Cyberpunk 2077 — Official Trailer — The Gig

The more I see of this game the less cyberpunk it feels. I hope I am proven wrong.
The question is: will my 780 burst into flames trying to run this?

A niche history. This game will define what "Cyberpunk" is for a huge number of people. Genre conventions are also allowed to change.
There's not just one way, but that trailer is not even remotely close. The generic, terrible rock song. The utterly banal dialogue from the sidekick... it's just baaad. Sure he is, but I doubt he has much say in the trailer. We can hope the actual tone and vibe of the game is different, but that trailer is a disaster for anyone into cyberpunk.
Really, using that song in a trailer for "Cyberpunk" 2077 is just unforgivably stupid.
Looks great.
I hope though that they stick to the premise of being able to play the game in completely different ways.
I need to see more.

Why? This isn't something we haven't seen on consoles this generation.
There's more to Cyberpunk than Deus Ex. Hell Deus Ex isn't cyberpunk at all given that you play as a supercop with both JC and Adam, there's nothing "punk" about that. And given that Mike Pondsmith has been very hands on with making this game, I'm not sure what it is that constitutes a "betrayal".
I have faith in CDPR given what they have pulled off before. Looking at a montage does make the game feel a bit overwhelming to me. That said, even at its worst, the game ought to be more responsive than R*'s titles that have issues with basic ambulation.
That's really not the vibe I expected to see if i'm honest. When I think cyberpunk I think of dark, underground, dirty and bleak. This looks great but the tone seems way too upbeat for my taste. Oh well, I bet it will be great regardless, just a little disapointed.
Seeing too much GTA attitude with cyber coat of paint in this trailer. Not what I was hoping for. Lines sounded kind of poorly acted too. Visually awesome no doubt though.
i'm still unsure where these vapid comparisons to gta come from lol
I agree, The Witcher 3 (which I ADORE) is the obvious frame of reference so it's troubling to see that the writing itself is so lacking in these snippets. Doesn't bode well when you blow it up to a full-game size. I honestly found the TW3 VA to be of variable quality so that was slightly more expected from my side, but I haven't really found a single character in all snippets/trailers I've seen that I'd consider outstanding.
The GTA-style tonal juvenility is offputting.
The driving reminds me of Sleepy Dogs though, so tempted to try it used.

You whining about this being a "betrayal". What exactly is the "betrayal" here then?
wait, we're complaining about swearing?
i guess we're all parents or something?
FUCK!
i'm hyped, curse-words et al.

The hair, lighting, shadow quality, all in what will likely be the densest and most lively open world ever created? No, we haven't seen that this or any generation.
I did not mention Deus Ex once, which your entire post is ranting about, so yea...
you can use country music and it's still a cyberpunk game. in common usage it really just means media that is set in a dingy dystopian future where technology is omnipresent. in the case of cp2077, check, check, and check.
My mistake I didn't notice you completely failed to actually say what it was that constituted "betraying".
No one cares about swearing.
It's the use of swear words in replacement of actual good writing that concerns me at least.
Cyberpunk aesthetic. Also our brain cells if that's the quality of dialogue we can expect in the actual game. I'm still wondering what any of this has to do with Deus Ex.
Oh no no Witcher 3 is wayyyyy better than anything Rockstar has ever done. I just mean the writing in the trailer. Tone wise its like they are trying to ape the lightheaded nature Rockstar is always going for and it just doesn't sound right.
That is definitely true ha
Tell that to Mike Pondsmith since you know so much about cyberpunk
What? The hell are you talking about? This shit is filled to the brim with "high tech low life".
I mean this is inside a small building and the game isn't rendering the whole world all the time? We also already had similar looking or even better character models in games like God of War, Detroit, Hellblade, Death Stranding, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 2+3, Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us 2. I really don't see how this would not run on a current gen console.
I think they're just going after that GTA big money crowd which is smart from a business perspective, but that's definitely not what I wanted. I was hoping for more Blade Runner seriousness and less of that GTA 'satire'.
I'm sure he crafted this trailer himself and that CDPR can't even fart without his permission.
Imagine if, in the last minute of this trailer, there were quick cuts of different lines and scenes in the game and every single one said something like, "Woah!" Eight times. Wouldn't that be weird to you? I would worry somewhat about the writing quality.
they hit the classic cyberpunk aesthetic ridiculously hard to the point of being retro-future. i'm surprised that's your complaint.
I'm talking about your completely out of the blue non-sequitur about "Deus Ex isn't cyberpunk" that seems to be talking about exactly no one at all. Anyway, consider this the end of the exchange because this is a waste of time.
It's the balance of the fucks I think.
Had it gone overboard on the fucks, like, even end with one of them just yelling Fuuuuuuuuuck, maybe the lighthearted tongue-in-cheek nature would be better represented here
As it is, it's too little for that, and too much to be considered good writing (or not juvenile in writing).
This is just trailer impressions mind you. The final game may simply not be represented well by it.
