Damon van Halen Me too, I think that's something this game is really going to do right with this kind of setting. Normally, it's always about some kind of rebellion getting rid of a totalitarian hold held by a corporation or government and it's to make it better for everybody, but this seems like a darker take on it. I just love the sound of it, can't wait for this damn game.
Same here. Glad that he is the "Director" and the mastermind of this game. Gonna be a awesome experience. Hopefully he will narrate or even have a voice acting scene there as well!!! ^^
+Damon van Halen imagine.... *Just stare at some thug on the dark wet alley, they want to rob you, take your augmentations part, and kill you.* Man... the more they talk about the atmosphere, the dark HYPE rises.
Its crazy I was in high-school when I first heard about this game... I'm 24 now.. my nephews 19 and its one of his most anticipated games aswell. He was 12 when I found out about cyberpunk...
but you guys that we, the people, globally are the only force that can change that, right? to throw a wrench into the machine, disassemble it and together decide how to best rebuild it so it will not malfunction again. Or simply build a better machine.
I understand the sentiment, but I'm all for saving humanity. Individualism will kill us. As you can see with our current times, individuality is only going to breed radicalization. People think their ideas are unique, but there are echo chambers for all of them, they believe they are special for their beliefs, and that everyone should bow to them alone, but have a whole army to fight for that same reason. It will only lead to further dumbing down of the masses, and what we need is a society that promotes collectivism while upholding everyone's freedoms.
"Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself." Say what you will about the game, but you can't deny that the developers absolutely nailed that theme with its story.
@@SOSOLRAK yes they did, Cyberpunk 2077 has an incredible narrative I get that people are angry at CDPR but come on this just doesn't make sense, it's getting ridiculous, saying that the game is pure garbage when it's actually a great game
Bro, I literally just thought the exact same thing when I found this video! And what an awesome guy! Such an amazing blend of intellect and... coolness. Mike and CDPR were made for each other!
I was thinking just that watching. This guy has such an amazing narrator voice, and is so knowledgeable about the genre and gaming, I want him narrating the game.
@@ramnozack Honestly they did. 31 hours in and haven't even scratched the surface. The world is so beautiful, yet disgusting at the same time. Yet it gives me this vibe that no other game world has. It's got it's bugs, some of which are horribly immersion breaking. But with a few patches down the line and what's already here. Fuck me it's beautiful.
@@KogeyFox yup, i love the story and characters so far and i am not even playing it. Minus the bugs and crashes, the game is pretty well made. What kinda blew me away was that the intro was the first 5 hours of the game (5 hours watching ONLY the main story).
Cyberpunk2077 in 2023 is one of the most artistic, gorgeous, immersive, and fun games I've ever experienced, the amount of characters to interact with and stories to develop from driving in a deathrace style circuit, to scuba diving into and abandoned town you'll never be bored in night city
Yeah I love the game and wish they would have just released it in its current state. If it was released like how it is now I bet it would be one of, if not the best launches CDPR would have ever had.
I haven't been sucked into a world like this since Oblivion. This is actually probably a worse obsession for me because it draws so many parallels to the life I live. (I'm not a criminal)
Cd projekt red is one of the few remaining game development companies that haven't lost their passion for creation and the integrity to give the fans what's missing from games these days. Don't ever change.You're one of the good ones Edit: yeah.....so ummmm.....yeah
+Eth Man i deeply belive that all of mgsv problems were konami fault, look at kojima in the interviews he looks angry When someone ask about the open world. maybe konami forced kojima to do changes in the games based on marketing studies.
They said that their goal is to have the same level of visual fidelity in the final game as in the trailer. They'll have worked on it for the better part of the decade, so it'll be interesting to see.
Fabian Hopefully they stick with that message through launch. Considering it won't be out until at least 2019, there's a chance that with REDengine 4, along with targeting high-end PCs and next-gen platforms, maybe it could look as good as the trailer released now over four years ago.
@@littletabletalks4964 yeah dog he should have as many views as the trailers that have dropped he’s a legend ( least he is to me - what he is , is what I aspire to be when I’m older. To get my stories adapted so everyone can experience it )
+Larkfeast lol well, I just watched this again, and I can't deny that him being black plus having the shades and black leather jacket on reminds me of Morpheus in the Matrix. However, it's not only that. You can tell from listening to this guy that he's actually quite an intellectual and very wise, just like Morpheus. So yeah, Mr. Pondsmith is awesome in and of himself.
Atmosphere is everything to me. Being able to feel the story of a piece of media by simply experiencing it without needing explanation or exposition, that's everything.
+Stan V utilising visual storytelling elements helps convey alot of world building and emotions as much as a compelling & structured narrative in my opinion.
+Stan V This. Exactly; I need to be able to walk into a room and immediately pick up on the atmosphere and feeling with out any narration, dialogue or having the story spoon-fed to you.
both are legends in the cyberpunk genre, when mike pondsmith was making his cyberpunk game he never knew about william gibson but when he read his stuff he was like wow it's literally what I had in my mind...
@@thurinaradan7135 well it is and isnt. Part of Chiba, Tokyo, is called Night City as a nickname. Night City in CP2020 is based on a FUTURISTICALLY DEVELOPED area of California called Morro Bay that also exists. All Cyberpunk Genre works borrow off of each other as a type of lore, or prediction, or most commonly, a warning. youre always gonna see that shit so get used to it choom.
Started playing when the 1.5 patch dropped and it easily made my top 5 favorites of all time. The story and people you meet just suck you in and don’t let go. When I finished it I was depressed for a few days because I knew that was the end at least for a while. 10/10 game.
My god.. this sounds friggin' epic. How cyberpunk is not a more popular videogame genre is beyond me. The year of the zombie needs to end, bring on the year of the android.
Looking at the things he predicted in Cyberpunk 2020 about the way society would change, and judging by the way he talks and looks, I would say that this is a very intelligent man who sees and judges the world clearly.
The fact that this guy and the devs showed so much passion for this project (some of which you can still see in the game) only for the launch to be ruined by decisions made by higher ups and investors will forever depress me. I enjoyed the game but I can tell the devs wanted to do so much more but their time was cut short, and that’s without going over bugs.
"Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself." Hits way different when we now have *_that_* particular ending from Phantom Liberty. c':
Pity CDPR's "make peace with mortality" philosophy was too nihilistic and depressing for any gamer of cultured taste to buy this golden turd of corpo propaganda. Persona 3 did that better. Ubisoft's Watch Dogs, the new Shadowrun games and the adult visual novel "City of Broken Dreamers" would be my go-to cyberpunk experience. Sincerly, with all due respect to you Mike Pondsmith, you could've chosen a better game developer unbound by corpo contracts or assigned said developers to roleplay the tabletop game for deeper context and have Keanu Reeves play a more original character instead of SIlverhand. IMHO, apart from the above rushed release and farfetched storyline that strangled the step-above anime adaptaion's potential to tower above said game into its own, this is a next-to unfaithul iteration of your creation as much as Disney was the wrong business for Lucas to sell his beloved IPs.
@@Chinothebad It's not just depressing, it emasculates and disempowers players of their agency and ability to impact the story even on an an interpersonal level. Not helped by the hastily written, farfetched story. Judy's arc is the prime example where next to nothing goes right no matter your actions. If the story was about facing mortality as above, it should've given heartwarming, meaningful rewards from good deeds or well-intentioned actions, like saving Evelyn Parker from her pointless death (including via the part where you cut Deshawn out of the deal) and helping her achieve her actress dream. Seriously, Cyberpunk isn't misery porn or contermplating helpless fatalism, it's about rebellion against a broken society. That's where the "Punk" in Cyberpunk comes from.
@@skymabile2855 For rebellion against a broken society, you more or less fight Arasaka in most endings that leads to them being crippled. Writing would of no doubt suffered due to the devs having to be told to release the game in the state that made it infamous but to say there's no impact on an interpersonal level, I'm sure there'd be people that would disagree considering how you have people calling the player during the credits depending on what ending they aimed for. And how exactly is this game corpo propaganda?
@@ChinothebadMy bad not being clear from the get-go. What makes this game feel like corpo/pro-capitalist propaganda is that the corpo dictatorship system as a whole is treated as the most truly invincible form of tyranny that can't be beaten till mankind's extinction, if not exaggerated the dystopian aspects to cheesy b-movie levels. And everyone is too scared to fight back or badly depends on it the way a handicapped, socially-isolated child depends on a neglectful/abusive sugar-daddy paying for the same life-support, i.e. the environment, food, entertainment and infrastructure. Even if you screw-up Arasaka, it's rival Militech and other megacorps will undoubtedly swoop in like tapeworm-infested vultures and reap the spoils that you sow and keep Night city a nasty place. Not to mention corporations are run like dysfunctional, cartoonish, Bond-villain country clubs. Even if it was overthrown without a planned replacement system (barring maybe Yorinobu the renegade Arasaka prince or his sister Hanako, who is not Azula 2.0 especially if you go by tabletop lore), another, nastier dictatorship will rise like a fresh new Hydra head. Look how that went for the French Revolution's Robespierre or Lenin's Bolsheviks who took their eyes off the ball and devolved into homicidal maniacs. Not to mention most named characters (examples like River Ward, Judy Alvarez and Evelyn Parker excepted) are selfish and greedy. They don't want to make their environment more livable nor cut-down on the crime-rate, even the white-collar crime that corpos are known for. They all have the same dumb idea of scoring a quick buck through pointless backstabbing even when there's long-term enterprise available through human decency. That's the definition of insanity in Cyberpunk; next to everyone prizes the American dream: championing monetary wealth and individual freedom at everyone's expense over spiritual wealth and collective freedom. But in all honesty it's never easy to overthrow tyranny, but far from impossible as Ghandi quoted along the line "The values of goodness and love always triumph." The most ideal ending in any cyberpunk dystopia is that rebels don't try to outright dismantle the system completely, but rather spank it in line, cost Megacorps more money oppressing the people than their income can sustain them. And in a karmically poetic, round-about way, the majority of people band together Nomad-style communities together buddying with the surviving Native American tribes and embracing the same native values and philosophies that their ancestors tried to exterminate. Sooner or later the corpos go broke from a lack of sufficient customers, unless their crazy Bond-villain bosses get replaced by a saner employer after the former suffers the "price of failure" they inflicted on their employees. I hope you liked this as much as you may have found it educational. If so please at least leave a like.😉
Maelcum produced a white lump of foam slightly smaller than Case's head, fished a pearl-handled switchblade on a green nylon lanyard out of the hip pocket of his tattered shorts and carefully slit the plastic. He extracted a rectangular object and passed it to Case. "Thas part some gun, mon?" "No," Case said, turning it over, "but it's a weapon. It's a virus." "Not on this boy tug, mon," Maelcum said firmly, reaching for the steel cassette. "A program. Virus program. Can't get into you, can't even get into your software. I've got to interface it through the deck, before it can work on anything..." He slotted the Chinese virus, paused, then drove it home. `Okay,' he said, "we're on..." "Christ on a crutch," the Flatline said, "take a look at this." The Chinese virus was unfolding around them. Polychrome shadow, countless translucent layers shifting and recombining. Protean, enormous, it towered above them, blotting out the void. - Neuromancer
Jeebus, I hope I live long enough to see this game. EDIT: Yes, I'm still here, folks. Thanks for all the inquiries. Even survived the C-word. Bring the game on already! :)
I think maybe (or hopefully) they will (just) need 2 more years. Just hold on buddy, you're not alone. :D It's been already 3 1/2 years since this trailer came out. :P
Hey Mike, If you ever happen across this comment I want you to know that regardless of how this game was recieved on launch, It has fully invested me in your world of Cyberpunk. I have read through the cyberpunk 2020 rulebook, and I plan to buy Cyberpunk Red when it's back in stock. I absolutely love TTRPGs and I had no clue how massive and detailed of a world you'd created. So thank you for that
Cyberpunk really is an under-represented gaming genre. I hope this game does amazing and affects tons of people. Zombies, fantasy, and modern warfare are all overdone: we need something fresh, like this. looking forward to this game
This video being 10+ years old now is simultaneously crazy and depressing. In that same breath, it is truly awesome how watching this video still gets me hyped that decade later.
CD PR don't rush things for the quick money and that is (sadly) something that sets them apart from almost any other developer. Such a great company that really loves creating interactive art, an atmosphere you can lose yourself in, a story you want to experience. I'm looking foreward to this game!
The game didn't launch in a good state gameplay wise. But the story, the themes, the lore, the atmosphere were always great. And it's because they included Maximum Mike and a great team of writers for the world-building and story.
When he says they have been dragging him to Poland several times a year it sounds like he has been working on it for at least two years beforehand. If this is true then we are looking at a decade of some kind of development. Also, MY VISION IS AUGMENTED.
It was announced 8 years ago, but at that point it was just an idea. Nothing more than an animation and ideas on a drawing board. They did not start any real development work till they finished the last Witcher 3 DLC. Which was in 2016.
In the early aughts I looked at the prices of cellphones and service in the Cyberpunk sourcebooks and laughed "they're way too high!" and yet at the end of 2016 it's pretty much just as predicted...
To be honest it's a nice touch but they didn't need him in it, to step on stage, or anything. Fans and gamers alike are sold on what CDPR did with the Witcher series, how gamer friendly they are, sound design, story design, quest design..etc. Any movie fans of John Wick that don't play video games aren't gonna pick up the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 to play just cuz Keanu Reeves is in it now.
It would’ve been better if he wasn’t honestly, we could’ve had Johnny silverhand. I like him as a person and I enjoy him as an actor(to an extent)but they spent how much money for pretty shallow line delivery for a character that’s supposed to be very expressive and have layers and he’s kinda just “I’ll raise my voice here…. And be empty here”. Looking at old Johnny Silverhand concept art makes me realize how robbed we were.
Just started on my fourth 100% completion play through and I just wanted to say thank you to Mike and CDPR for creating such a captivating and interesting world. Though I know it's had a very uneasy launch I myself haven't had any major problems and I must say I've enjoyed this game far more than I could've anticipated. (Funny how this was just recommended now though lol)
I hope, and I really hope, that with a massive cityscape that this game will be set in, we'll be able to fully explore and traverse the interior of every building and nook and cranny. I love GTA but they seem to never be able to let you do that in their games. However, this is CDPR and they know how to make fantastic games. So I have a damn good gut feeling that they'll make a masterpiece for the ages.
The game is going to be 5 times bigger than The Witcher 3 which is about 15 times the size of skyrims map lol so yeah there are probably going to be huge cities in it
SEaster IslanderS To be fair the reason you didn’t see that much in GTA V was because they restricted like 95% of enterable buildings to the online mode, along with all the other content. I don’t know about EVERY building but I’m confident we’ll have a shitload of places to explore.
This makes me so happy. I haven’t seen a community of gamers from all sources (console, pc, and xbox) come together for a video game in so long. It makes me feel like a little kid, especially knowing that the developers actually CARE about what they’re making and listen to their audience while still sticking directly to source material and letting the original creator shape the new world. Regardless of how crappy these years have been, I’m glad to have been born just in time to play this game.
If you guys can read this, that means Witcher 3 has been released and Cyberpunk 2077 is NOW in active-production. It was placed on halt months ago to finish off Witcher 3. Now that its done, we can expect Cyberpunk 2077. I hope they pull it off. I also won't mind it being released in 2016. Update: I also won't mind it being released in 2018. Take your time, CDPR!
+Tremblay Louis (FlamenHound) www.benchmark.pl/aktualnosci/cyberpunk-2077-ma-byc-znacznie-wiekszy-niz-wiedzmin-3-dziki-gon.html Unfortunately it's in polish but in short: Jose Teixeira (member of CDR team) said that Cyberpunk project is already bigger than anything they have made so far and Witcher 3 was important lesson they can base on now.
His wish finally came trough!!.. I´m very happy for you sir.. And CD Projekt RED, amazing job and congratulations on finishing this game.. You will be rewarded!..
+yousonuva It's just that the game is worth a lot more. Paying 50% felt like I stole the game, I want to give something to the devs. It's like you having someone else pay for your food, you want to pay them back.
"Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself." The Relic and how it works is just the extension of that mindset. This game makes you face that. Even under an oppressive system, you can still lead a meaningful and impactful life. Stay true to yourself, uplift other people and find joy in life and you'll be able to say that you've had a decent run.
Too bad you don't get much of a vote in the matter story-wise, less stellar branching paths rewarding or punishing your choices meaningfully that made you feel content with your impending death, ala Fallout. The only message I get is a nihilistic cop-out that our choices never matter. It's misery porn to the end that makes your player death feel more like an escape than a well-spent heroe's sacrifice. Not helped by the games rushed release that cut out good story branches. My biggest repulsion to the game is the many pointless/tragic deaths you can't prevent and characters you can't romance. I.E. in both cases, Evelyn Parker!😭 DAMN YOU CDPR!😡 Spoilers for Edgerunners anime below . . . Don't read!😰 I feel that the tragic ending of the prequel Netflix anime by Studio Trigger is an emotionally manipulative marketing ploy to motivate people to buy the game just to avenge the ill-fated characters. Even getting the character's weapons and cyberware feels like getting sour candy as a consolation prize. Since said anime is tied to a crappy game with a crappy storyline that punishes more good deeds than bad because of industrial f***ery, I'd rather write a fanfic than buy the game.
I played the table top. I wonder if Pondsmith would be as stoked today... did they honor Night City? I look at Pondsmith and Gibson... is 2077 the true essence of dystopia or just another corpo scam?
@@kkbaby30 I'd say go into the more rundown areas near the badlands, it's clear that while the main hubs of NC are looking clean, it's most likely Arasaka's influence on the rebuilding the city but outside of the main areas, it's run down and slummy showing they don't care about those.
@@SteveJonesGamingGWO I've only played on friend's rig so far. It looks decent but I think I'm going to hold off for 2 or 3 months just to let everything get sorted. Glad you are enjoying the game, Steve!
@@kkbaby30 I'm on PS5 running a back compat version, if I was only on PS4 I'd be livid right now with it's state. It's a fun game but clearly hampered BY A LOT OF BUGS
When people ask me what cyberpunk is, I show them the first 1:45 minutes of this video. It's a great presentation and introduction to the genre because you can feel the grittiness from Mike's descriptions and the production quality. I don't know who's holding the camera, but you did an amazing job.
I heard about Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2015, I did not know that its been in development since 2013 and maybe even earlier than that. Time flies, it's scary.
Jeremy Given I'm hyped about it too. I tend to stay away from pre-release stuff and hype, it usually ends up in dissapointment, but this is one I'm excited about. Cyberpunk is just too awesome
+Jeremy Given "Go outside and play out the game with your friends." You sure that's ok with this game? I might have to call the cops or something, these guys would pull off a massacre or something.
Man, there's so much heart and soul in everything they do. The cool song.The quality face time with Mike Pondsmith to immediately break down the barrier and get people on board. The synopsis he presents is fucking goddamn riveting :) Then some moody imagery of rain-wet causeways and alleys, perfect for Night City. If the 2020 roots tell me anything, CP2077 will be visceral on a level we haven't seen, like a living novel :)

Exactly. They're CDPR after all, so I think we'll be in for a treat!

However, it's not only that. You can tell from listening to this guy that he's actually quite an intellectual and very wise, just like Morpheus. So yeah, Mr. Pondsmith is awesome in and of himself.

The fact that this guy and the devs showed so much passion for this project (some of which you can still see in the game) only for the launch to be ruined by decisions made by higher ups and investors will forever depress me. I enjoyed the game but I can tell the devs wanted to do so much more but their time was cut short, and that’s without going over bugs.
Funny how the same game that comments on corporate greed and corruption was ruined by corporate greed and corruption
for real, i’m glad it’s a lot better now, i can’t wait for a sequel i know they’re gonna go hard for it and make it a million times better
@@PrabhablyAGoodCZcamsr fr. I was gonna mention the irony in it.

"Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself."
Hits way different when we now have *_that_* particular ending from Phantom Liberty. c':
Pity CDPR's "make peace with mortality" philosophy was too nihilistic and depressing for any gamer of cultured taste to buy this golden turd of corpo propaganda. Persona 3 did that better. Ubisoft's Watch Dogs, the new Shadowrun games and the adult visual novel "City of Broken Dreamers" would be my go-to cyberpunk experience.
Sincerly, with all due respect to you Mike Pondsmith, you could've chosen a better game developer unbound by corpo contracts or assigned said developers to roleplay the tabletop game for deeper context and have Keanu Reeves play a more original character instead of SIlverhand. IMHO, apart from the above rushed release and farfetched storyline that strangled the step-above anime adaptaion's potential to tower above said game into its own, this is a next-to unfaithul iteration of your creation as much as Disney was the wrong business for Lucas to sell his beloved IPs.
@@skymabile2855 Corpo propaganda? What makes you think a gamer of some cultured taste would find the game all too nihilistic and depressing?
@@Chinothebad It's not just depressing, it emasculates and disempowers players of their agency and ability to impact the story even on an an interpersonal level. Not helped by the hastily written, farfetched story. Judy's arc is the prime example where next to nothing goes right no matter your actions.
If the story was about facing mortality as above, it should've given heartwarming, meaningful rewards from good deeds or well-intentioned actions, like saving Evelyn Parker from her pointless death (including via the part where you cut Deshawn out of the deal) and helping her achieve her actress dream. Seriously, Cyberpunk isn't misery porn or contermplating helpless fatalism, it's about rebellion against a broken society. That's where the "Punk" in Cyberpunk comes from.
@@skymabile2855 For rebellion against a broken society, you more or less fight Arasaka in most endings that leads to them being crippled. Writing would of no doubt suffered due to the devs having to be told to release the game in the state that made it infamous but to say there's no impact on an interpersonal level, I'm sure there'd be people that would disagree considering how you have people calling the player during the credits depending on what ending they aimed for. And how exactly is this game corpo propaganda?
@@ChinothebadMy bad not being clear from the get-go. What makes this game feel like corpo/pro-capitalist propaganda is that the corpo dictatorship system as a whole is treated as the most truly invincible form of tyranny that can't be beaten till mankind's extinction, if not exaggerated the dystopian aspects to cheesy b-movie levels. And everyone is too scared to fight back or badly depends on it the way a handicapped, socially-isolated child depends on a neglectful/abusive sugar-daddy paying for the same life-support, i.e. the environment, food, entertainment and infrastructure. Even if you screw-up Arasaka, it's rival Militech and other megacorps will undoubtedly swoop in like tapeworm-infested vultures and reap the spoils that you sow and keep Night city a nasty place. Not to mention corporations are run like dysfunctional, cartoonish, Bond-villain country clubs.
Even if it was overthrown without a planned replacement system (barring maybe Yorinobu the renegade Arasaka prince or his sister Hanako, who is not Azula 2.0 especially if you go by tabletop lore), another, nastier dictatorship will rise like a fresh new Hydra head. Look how that went for the French Revolution's Robespierre or Lenin's Bolsheviks who took their eyes off the ball and devolved into homicidal maniacs.
Not to mention most named characters (examples like River Ward, Judy Alvarez and Evelyn Parker excepted) are selfish and greedy. They don't want to make their environment more livable nor cut-down on the crime-rate, even the white-collar crime that corpos are known for. They all have the same dumb idea of scoring a quick buck through pointless backstabbing even when there's long-term enterprise available through human decency. That's the definition of insanity in Cyberpunk; next to everyone prizes the American dream: championing monetary wealth and individual freedom at everyone's expense over spiritual wealth and collective freedom.
But in all honesty it's never easy to overthrow tyranny, but far from impossible as Ghandi quoted along the line "The values of goodness and love always triumph." The most ideal ending in any cyberpunk dystopia is that rebels don't try to outright dismantle the system completely, but rather spank it in line, cost Megacorps more money oppressing the people than their income can sustain them. And in a karmically poetic, round-about way, the majority of people band together Nomad-style communities together buddying with the surviving Native American tribes and embracing the same native values and philosophies that their ancestors tried to exterminate. Sooner or later the corpos go broke from a lack of sufficient customers, unless their crazy Bond-villain bosses get replaced by a saner employer after the former suffers the "price of failure" they inflicted on their employees.

Maelcum produced a white lump of foam slightly smaller than Case's head, fished a pearl-handled switchblade on a green nylon lanyard out of the hip pocket of his tattered shorts and carefully slit the plastic. He extracted a rectangular object and passed it to Case. "Thas part some gun, mon?"
"No," Case said, turning it over, "but it's a weapon. It's a virus."
"Not on this boy tug, mon," Maelcum said firmly, reaching for the steel cassette.
"A program. Virus program. Can't get into you, can't even get into your software. I've got to interface it through the deck, before it can work on anything..."
He slotted the Chinese virus, paused, then drove it home.
`Okay,' he said, "we're on..."
"Christ on a crutch," the Flatline said, "take a look at this."

Hey Mike, If you ever happen across this comment I want you to know that regardless of how this game was recieved on launch, It has fully invested me in your world of Cyberpunk. I have read through the cyberpunk 2020 rulebook, and I plan to buy Cyberpunk Red when it's back in stock. I absolutely love TTRPGs and I had no clue how massive and detailed of a world you'd created. So thank you for that
Ugh its just a game nerd. Go back to star wars
This interview was filmed at a time when the world was calm and there was hope.
When he talks, it looks like someone else is speaking. His voice is amazing.
He’s an android. How do you think he is able to conceptualise the entire Cyberpunk world in such detail and beauty? Because he’s from there.
Cyberpunk really is an under-represented gaming genre. I hope this game does amazing and affects tons of people. Zombies, fantasy, and modern warfare are all overdone: we need something fresh, like this. looking forward to this game

When he says they have been dragging him to Poland several times a year it sounds like he has been working on it for at least two years beforehand. If this is true then we are looking at a decade of some kind of development. Also, MY VISION IS AUGMENTED.

It was announced 8 years ago, but at that point it was just an idea. Nothing more than an animation and ideas on a drawing board. They did not start any real development work till they finished the last Witcher 3 DLC. Which was in 2016.

+Gabriel Garcia it should definitely be
In the early aughts I looked at the prices of cellphones and service in the Cyberpunk sourcebooks and laughed "they're way too high!" and yet at the end of 2016 it's pretty much just as predicted...
True, but still nothing like they'd imagine.
Thinking we'd have personal robots, flying/hovering cars, etc.
I mean, we do have personal robots to an extent... Siri, cortana, all the other AI's. Actual physical bots will come in the next 5 years NO doubt.
Phantom Liberty new ending nailed that quote so hard.
remember
this was at the point when even cd projekt red didn't even know that keanu reeves would be in the game
To be honest it's a nice touch but they didn't need him in it, to step on stage, or anything. Fans and gamers alike are sold on what CDPR did with the Witcher series, how gamer friendly they are, sound design, story design, quest design..etc. Any movie fans of John Wick that don't play video games aren't gonna pick up the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 to play just cuz Keanu Reeves is in it now.
@@briancain9486 Memes are free advertising. I played Undertale just because the Internet was fascinated by it.
It would’ve been better if he wasn’t honestly, we could’ve had Johnny silverhand. I like him as a person and I enjoy him as an actor(to an extent)but they spent how much money for pretty shallow line delivery for a character that’s supposed to be very expressive and have layers and he’s kinda just “I’ll raise my voice here…. And be empty here”. Looking at old Johnny Silverhand concept art makes me realize how robbed we were.

which is about 15 times the size of skyrims map lol so yeah there are probably going to be huge cities in it

SEaster IslanderS To be fair the reason you didn’t see that much in GTA V was because they restricted like 95% of enterable buildings to the online mode, along with all the other content. I don’t know about EVERY building but I’m confident we’ll have a shitload of places to explore.
Everytime the game gets delayed i come back watch this and am back calm because i trust mike pondsmith's vision.
This makes me so happy. I haven’t seen a community of gamers from all sources (console, pc, and xbox) come together for a video game in so long. It makes me feel like a little kid, especially knowing that the developers actually CARE about what they’re making and listen to their audience while still sticking directly to source material and letting the original creator shape the new world. Regardless of how crappy these years have been, I’m glad to have been born just in time to play this game.

"Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself." The Relic and how it works is just the extension of that mindset. This game makes you face that.
Even under an oppressive system, you can still lead a meaningful and impactful life. Stay true to yourself, uplift other people and find joy in life and you'll be able to say that you've had a decent run.
he literally told us the plot.
Too bad you don't get much of a vote in the matter story-wise, less stellar branching paths rewarding or punishing your choices meaningfully that made you feel content with your impending death, ala Fallout.
The only message I get is a nihilistic cop-out that our choices never matter. It's misery porn to the end that makes your player death feel more like an escape than a well-spent heroe's sacrifice. Not helped by the games rushed release that cut out good story branches. My biggest repulsion to the game is the many pointless/tragic deaths you can't prevent and characters you can't romance. I.E. in both cases, Evelyn Parker!😭 DAMN YOU CDPR!😡
Spoilers for Edgerunners anime below . . . Don't read!😰
I feel that the tragic ending of the prequel Netflix anime by Studio Trigger is an emotionally manipulative marketing ploy to motivate people to buy the game just to avenge the ill-fated characters. Even getting the character's weapons and cyberware feels like getting sour candy as a consolation prize. Since said anime is tied to a crappy game with a crappy storyline that punishes more good deeds than bad because of industrial f***ery, I'd rather write a fanfic than buy the game.

Neuromancer and Shadowrun got me into the Cyberpunk Universe too along with the Fallout series.
Man, there's so much heart and soul in everything they do. The cool song.The quality face time with Mike Pondsmith to immediately break down the barrier and get people on board. The synopsis he presents is fucking goddamn riveting :) Then some moody imagery of rain-wet causeways and alleys, perfect for Night City.
