>"The important part in cyberpunk is just that. It's not the technology, it's the feel. It's getting that dark, gritty, rain wet street feeling"
Where's the dark, gritty, rain wet streets in this game then? Also its cyberpunk, so where's all the 80s stuff? I didn't see a single VHS tape shown, no Dominos or Pizza Hut ads, no Hi-C juiceboxes, or any cool 80s shit at all. Nothing about this game feels 80s, not even the goddamn music. Fuck this cdpr, you guys fucking suck.
>mentions "rain wet" streets again and again >wet, cold dangerous environment >walks around in a city during a rainy night >same city in the day but very dark and dreary and overcast looking >game looks NOTHING like this
What the FUCK?
Brandon Sanchez
we're seeing the mindless hate shitposting reach bottom of the barrel a lot quicker with 2077 then games in previous years. is that because of lack of material or are they just kind of going through the motions now or what?
Adam Edwards
>pointing out the lies is now shitposting
I forgot, lying is only bad if EA does it
Matthew White
>even current cities let alone cyberpunk cities have helicopters and motorcycles and trucks and stuff >literally only vehicle in the entire game (as you can see from the screenshot) of cyber""punk"" 2077 is some random amerikkan car WOW did cdpr fuck this project up.
Nathan Martin
EA never lies nor has done anything bad in its existence stop listening to memes from democrats and learn the truth shill.
See that? THAT is cyberpunk. The feel of the 80s, which this game is sorely lacking.
Henry Ward
>tfw you'll never get the dream cyberpunk game we all wanted >a third person action shooter game where we can watch old 80s commercials, and play with our skip it toys while drinking Hi-C fruit punch, eating dominos pizza, and chewing fruit stripes gum while playing Crossfire
Fuck this game and fuck CDPR
Julian Sanders
See where they go. Its a good studio and weve only seen a small pre baked experience. Im hoping they tone it right but until then why waste time thinking about it and getting mad.
John Ramirez
Weather system has already been confirmed. OP confirmed whiny little bitch.
You can't have cyberpunk without the 80s/early 90s.
Colton Mitchell

if this is what people think cyberpunk is, it's guaranteed. snow crash fucking ruined the genre permanently.
Doesn't the game feature weather patterns where there is a shitload of smog and people gotta wear masks? I mean that is what a real polluted city is like. It can be bright and sunny one day, then a smog infested mess the next.
Adrian Howard
The thing is if they recreated bladerunner visuals no one would be complaining because it would look amazing
Dominic Thomas
people don't know what cyber punk is.
Nolan Hughes
The truth was already dished out months ago tl;dr if it looks like a happy go lucky place you would want to live in, and you are not a person with heavy suicidal tendencies, then it is automatically disqualified from being cyberpunk.
Most real polluted series look like shit 9/10 days. L.A. is so fucking polluted that the high-end housing is actually losing value.
Anthony Sullivan
But what makes the cyberpunk setting look like it is a place you want to live at all? Just because sometimes it is sunny outside? It is still a corporate controlled shithole with terrible pollution, hit squads that can kill whoever they want, and massive amounts of poor people and general poverty.
Literally the only thing about this game you don't like is that it has day time. You don't understand how real life works. SMOG LEVELS CHANGE LITERALLY EVERY DAY, THERE IS A REASON WEATHER REPORTS HAVE A SMOG LEVEL THEY REPORT ON. Do you think a polluted city literally looks like there a constant fog around it 24/7?
Levi Anderson

I cant see a point to arguing about this anymore. They nailed the cyberPUNK aesthetic and all these fucking kids come out the wood work mad it doesnt look identical to bladerunner.
>mainstay of the genre >GitS has day segments with blue clear skys >Neuromancer takes place on a marble and high art space station >Cyberpunk 2020 has entire books dedicated to the blue sky expanses of the desert nomads
Jose Johnson
the problem with Cyberpunk 2077 isn't the daytime it's the fucking aesthetic it fucking looks exactly like GTA 5 with its shit, generic california los angeles art direction who the fuck wanted this?
>I didn't see a single VHS tape shown, no Dominos or Pizza Hut ads, no Hi-C juiceboxes, or any cool 80s shit at all. Nothing about this game feels 80s you are a literal retard
Dominic Sullivan
Sun is not a factor, you could show it behind the clouds of pollution. The point is the tone of the game. It's fucking San Diego meets San Francisco featuring a few neon lights, a few flying dildos and a couple cyberstoners. Cyberpunk is technology eating away humanity, you have to show the depressing decaying side of the world, you can't just take Saints Row and add flying fucking cars. Regardless this game totally ain't, it's the post-modern equivalent of cyberpunk.
BUTS THE MAINSTAY OF CYBERPUNK IS NOT RAINY NIGHTS, THE MAINSTAY OF CYBERPUNK IS A SHITTY WORLD OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND LOW HUMANITY. YOU FUCKING TOOL
William Rodriguez
The game will bomb so not long desu
Ayden Garcia
Once we can mod it with proper pc mods to the point it's a brooding dim miserable smokey nightmare, you're good.
Logan Smith
Then why the fuck did pondsmith say its not about the tech its about the feel an rainwet streets you idiot?
Brandon Morales
Astral Chain will be a better Cyber Punk game.
Jeremiah Kelly
Cyberpunk is bigger and more than the creator could have known, especially at the time.
The sweetest irony is the one thing that A)we all know is in B)you're all demanding C) you're all acting like you won't buy the game because of its omission
Is something they're deliberately not showing. Because of the sheer fever pitch. Why would they give you it when they can make you guys WRITHE AND SQUIRM in anticipation to be proven wrong.
Bentley Phillips
Great, it's not GTA. It's Sleeping Dogs instead. Woohoo.
Owen Bell
Ah fug, that has nipple. Not about to be banned because of shitposting retards on Yea Forums Funny, biggest cyberpunk series aren't even brooding when you think about it.
yeah bro in 100% sure the game will look radically different when its released
just like all the 6837545635 games before it did when fans reacted badly to the trailers
Liam Wright
there's no one stupid enough to actually believe this, right? even if it was complete garbage it would be the highest selling game of a given year. but i imagine it will be an 8-9/10
Jaxson Jones
>the mainstay of the genre is a certain aesthetic Yeah, let's have the same thing all the time and not try to revolutionize. That's how genres stay relevant, by being stagnant. :)
David Gray
Are you actually using that shitty pic with billboards to prove your point? It looks like fucking New York, are you mental?
James Scott
>Astral Chain >Shows off combat during the day in the sunlight
Be careful user, the neonpunk people will call your game fake cyberpunk cause it's not neonpunk.
Now that the trannies and incels can't demand a night time (because they know certainly it will be there) they're demanding 80s and 90s references.
Cyberpunk CAN BE retrofuture but it's not necessarily, and I don't know if you saw the FUCKING CAR but the game has retrofuture in its industrial design.
Juan Davis
>revolutionize Did you notice every time someone tries to do that they try with things that do not fucking need it? How many fucking real cyberpunk games do we have?
Kevin Gutierrez
>That looks like ANYTHING new york HAHAHAHHGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
You're fucking dumb. I live in L.A. and 2018's summer was literally nothing but health hazard smog days for almost 90 consecutive days. There were over 150 days of smog so bad that they were considered county ozone violations by the State of California, and there was over 200 days of poor quality air.
Any given Cyberpunk city should be far worse than L.A.
Joseph Gutierrez
They should have made sunshine more metal.
They have acid rain, why not conjure some rational explanation for direct sunlight burning people alive in the future?
Luis Moore
let me guess, you think the combat should copy DMC

Bladerunner 2049 was in the snow, so that disproves your claim.

Tyler Johnson
Dude, you can have snow as long as the environment looks fucking depressing and miserable. Does this shit look depressing to you? It does but not for the reasons it should. It actually makes real life feel like cyberpunk because we have all the technology in the world but games are so fucking shit now.
Nicholas Bailey
>read Neuromancer >Lots of parts are set during the day Well well well
Easton Williams
snow is an extension of rain, its basically sickdark rain
Kayden Russell

Christopher Harris

Gabriel Gray
This is a much greater concern. The combat system looks uninspired and floaty instead of methodical and detailed. I hope this doesn't take too much focus off other ways to interact with the characters and environment, but if it does I won't be playing it.
I don't know how to say it but this game should have been third person. You want to be a floating presence in a space like this. You want to frame your shots and see from different angles.
Ethan Flores
You can see the sky, but it's sure as fuck not a clear blue color you fucking retard.
Robert Brooks
cyberpunk is supposed to look sickdark, if it doesn';t, that means it isn't cyberpunk, it's just sci fi.
Julian Martin
Have you even watched the gameplay walkthrough? Its clear they know hwat they're doing
Ian Price
Is there anyway to block Yea Forums specifically
Sebastian Robinson
CDPR is thinking in the long run. They're making a sprawling, time consuming RPG. A one note setting would be fun for 10 hours, maybe 20. But if you're going to spend 40 hours in an environment, it has to be more than the stereotypical cyberpunk. Read a cyb book. There are ruined cities in the desert, there are forests, there are day time malls. Life has many settings.
Ayden Turner
I can't believe there's a sun. What were they thinking?!
Jackson Miller
>he's never read any cyberpunk books like the sprawl trilogy >he's never watched anything other than the first blade runner movie >he's never actually played any cyberpunk games shut the fuck up you developmentally challenged waste of air

James Martin
>Cyberpunk is supposed to be PUNK IS SUPPOSED TO BE SICK DARK AND DEPRESSING ACCORDING TO THIS CLOWN HAHAHA
Jackson Sanchez
Wrong, snow is gay Christmas shit. I can't believe they put it in a cyberpunk film. Cyberpunk is about rain, not powdery snow. Snow bad!
Jordan James
these are all from the same trailer
Jordan Kelly
this. you know what reflects off the snow? SUN. YOU GET SUN FROM THE SNOW AND SUN FROM THE SUN ITS LIKE DOUBLE SUN I CANT TAKE IT
Connor Williams
Sure, I don't know anything about Cyberpunk media, but I can firmly say that this game having a sun is a betrayal to a genre I pretend to love so I can have a nice desktop wallpaper.

Tons of people enjoyed playing dmc 3 and that entire game was inside a gothic demon tower AT NIGHT.
Logan Ramirez
What the fuck are you even talking about? Are you that user that think it's not cyberpunk if it doesn't have Perturbator ruining the entire cyberpunk atmosphere? Seriously be specific, what missing stuff?
Please, go read the Sprawl trilogy, play the tabletop RPG, play DX, watch Ghost in the Shell, and then realize cyberpunk has nothing to do with vaporwave and has actual substance rather than just a color scheme and rain.
Aiden Richardson
Punk has never once ever meant grim and gritty underage.
Evan Wilson
>mainstay of the genre is a certain aesthetic No.
Kevin Carter
yeah punk should be upbeat and cheerful guys! le wacky teens with wacky hairstylesXD
even Riot Games gets cyberpunk more than cdpr does, dumbass slavs lol
Lincoln Perez
>calling others underage Usually it isn't summer with snow on the ground.
Cyberpunk has always been the struggle of low-life individuals in a high-tech society. Did you not read anything written by Gibson, Sterling or Effinger?
Pondsmith in the OP literally wrote books world focused on high-tech and low-life.
James Davis
Nah Pondsmith says its about rain wet streets and how it feels, not the tech.
Owen White
>Summer I wish I had a fucking summer vacation. Do you know how much dick it sucks to only get a day off a month? >Cyberpunk has always been the struggle of NONE OF THAT IMPLIES GRIM. Cyberpunk is high tech low life. The punk explicitly tells you of the rebelling against society and the oppressors. By the way, here's a nice drawing from the original Cyberpunk 2020.
>nero has a robo arm >the characters fight in dilapidated urban settings full of trash and graffiti >its dark, even during the day it looks cloudy and overcast >the characters themes are all rock/punk music
Ethan Jenkins
>Cyber - technology >Punk - relating to punk rock and its associated subculture - a loud, fast-moving, and aggressive form of rock music >NO NO NO IT HAS TO BE RAINY AND SAD WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THIS? HAHAHAHAHA
Nero is a punk fighting demonic oppression with a robo arm, it's cyberpunk
Luis Powell
HAHAHA IMAGINE BEING THIS FUCKING RETARDED. Low life != wahhh i'm depressed imma kill myself ;_; it means bruisers, beaters, drug peddlers, scum, people don't give a fuck about society's rules despite technology being advanced enough to give everyone a good life.
Dominic Reyes
so cyberpunk is basically a rap video?
Aiden Perez
>it's cyberpunk Nigger are you blind? That's a sun right there, that's not cyberpunk. This dude is straight out of harry potter that ain't cyberpunk.
No, it objectively is not. Like I said, read the Sprawl trilogy, play DX, watch GITS. That is actual cyberpunk, unlike some 80s commercial. If you want that commercial, just play GTA Vice City.
Connor Lee
>A bunch of pussies with fake gold chains is cyberpunk ??? Legitimately confused now.
Brayden Martinez
>user doesn't think cyberpunk aesthetic is just a rap video >user doesn't know about Zef style
Benjamin Williams
Shadowrun had characters like V in it, and its cyberpunk. And cyberpunk can have daytime. DMC V daytime looks dreary and gloomy so its fine.
Agreed, only the falseflagger cares. So sad for him.
Oliver Nguyen
The screenshots cdpr showed had guys that looked like rappers, so if cyberpunk is about guys dealing drugs and being thugs, then yeah cyberpunk is a rap video
is cardi b gona be in this or what?
Dylan Robinson
Yes.
William Adams
>The only thing cyber in DMCV is an arm Ouch. Thanks cousin, I'm glad you think we look like rappers. Now you'll give us your money and we won't have to harvest your organs.
Have you considered that they had those cultural elements because they were made in those eras, instead of it being inherent to the genre you absolute shipwreck
Why the fuck would you not want 80s and 90s stuff in the game though? Imagine doing a mission and you stop off at the local store to pick up some zebra fruit stripes gum, a pack of camel cigarettes, and a colt 45, and then get in your car to go to the toys r us to buy a skip it and a creepy crawlers oven for the party.
Gavin Wright
>cyberpunk is just an aesthetic to help me transport myself back to my childhood No, it isn't. >Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of lowlife and high tech"[1] featuring advanced technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics, juxtaposed with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.[2]
>Much of cyberpunk is rooted in the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when writers like Philip K. Dick, Roger Zelazny, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer and Harlan Ellison examined the impact of drug culture, technology and the sexual revolution while avoiding the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction. Released in 1984, William Gibson's influential debut novel Neuromancer would help solidify cyberpunk as a genre, drawing influence from punk subculture and early hacker culture. Other influential cyberpunk writers included Bruce Sterling and Rudy Rucker. The Japanese cyberpunk subgenre began in 1982 with the debut of Katsuhiro Otomo's manga series Akira, with its 1988 anime film adaptation later popularizing the subgenre. track10.mixtape.moe/zgahrj.webm
Benjamin Sanders
>The important part in cyberpunk is just that. It's not the technology, it's the feel. Sunphiles absolutely and utterly BTFO
Carson Foster
what if they just renamed the game
Andrew Martin
I noticed these sunphiles and cdpr shills keep ignoring what Pondsmith himself said. It IS about dark rain wet streets at night. It IS about how it feels. Not this high tech low life shit these idiots made up.
Asher Thompson
Why the fuck would they rename a sequel to Cyberpunk 2020? Do you eat glue?
Tyler White
you ever been outside America or what not everyone's thugs look like Africans
Matthew Johnson
I just smell it
Ethan Ortiz
African thugs are the scariest and most imposing though, no one is scared of some broke white dudes in track suits lol
Thomas Jackson
If you added high-tech to it, yeah, that's basically what cyberpunk is.
Nathaniel Harris
Why do you all fall for the same bait every time?
Wyatt Martinez
cyberpunk sounds like shit then, its just a rap video in a bad neighborhood
Nicholas Gray
It's part of it, but not the whole. High tech low life is a bigger part of it. Pondsmith is describing Cyberpunk the tabletop RPG which he authored. Cyberpunk as a genre of literature, films, manga/anime and games is bigger than just a weather condition. >dark rain wet streets at night Well there will be night and there will be rain so if that's all you care about you can just go ahead and pre-order three copies.

Jordan Thomas
what the fuck is that, industrial? goths are fucking shit
I'm just waiting for more of the game to be shown, inevitably all the gay stuff they've already confirmed is in the game is going to be visible and all the "BASED POLISH DEVS" people are going to cry about it for fucking weeks and it'll turn into a fucking board wide shitpost war.
I don't think I've ever just wanted a game to just go away more, this is going to be an ultimately pretty good game with mediocre writing and we all know it but the wave of unwarranted attention it's bringing with it on the way to there is insufferable.
No, I'm saying cyberpunk is supposed to look and feel like the 1980s/90s, and this game doesn't. The way it looks and feels isn't that era at all. Where's my fucking fruitstripes gum, HiC ecto cooler, slimer gummy candies, sour cherry clan cherry candies, and my goddamn Orbitz?
Oh, yeah, the past with flying cars, laser guns and fucking huge neon billboards. I remember as if it was yesterday, crazy times we lived on
Lincoln Johnson
Holy fuck no wonder any attempts to get you to read even just one Cyberpunk book or even just watch a film are in vain, you're shallow as a puddle.
Just go play GTA VC I guess.
Jacob Campbell
Never mind the shitposting that progressed to genuine retardation, I never got the Looks Like GTA complaint. GTA is already a mirror of modern society turned dystopian. Gang violence is ignored completely unless it fucks up or benefits quota and PR. Corporations are so soulless and distant, the only thing they know about being progressive is what's trendy. Gentrified high life buildings get slapped against the ever widening pay gap. Literally the only thing that makes it different from say, Akira and Robocop's world building is a Sci Fi twist.
