Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Re-Announcement Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Grotesque]

What the hell are you talking about? Why would it be hard to "make a proper urban environment in an open-world game" ?

Because your typical Cyberpunk setting is filled with skyscrapers and other megastructures.

I just can't imagine something this in a video game:

Anything less is a half-assed attempt.

If this future game will make me feel again what I felt while playing this level/game,

mission accomplished.

Of course Cyberpunk 2077 will be papamole ACTION RPG like Witcher 3 with live action combat, probably some skills and other cyberpunkish gadgets EVERYFINK in live action. And this is not new information cause they already said that in 2013 after they revealed dis gaem.


tl;dr for weirdos: THIS WILL NOT BE TURN BASED AND ISOMETRIC RPG!

As long as it has real c&c and the skill system isn't too dumbed down it's totally .

Anyone know what's the deal with Pondsmith? If his payoff is somehow dependant on sales, then I am totally buying, no matter the quality of the game.

Been playing PnP CP2020 since 91 or so, and still do.

Some guy on reddit found this pics in the Witcher 3 files, that point for possible early CP2077 UI assets. Unsurprisingly, since CDPR has been drinking the console kool-aid for a long time now, they show a 4-option dialogue system.

UUuugghh, at least they gave us GOG.

 

[Roguey]

I'm thinking more Deus Ex Human Revolution/Mankind Divided than Mass Effect

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

Mass Effect 2077 confirmed. Can't wait to be a furry otherkind demisexual something.

Spoiler

This is actually a thing in the core rulebook. You can get modifcations to your body and turn into a furry and they live in a forest somewhere in the setting I SHIT YOU NOT.

Sounds like my kind of game.

That doesn't make any sense literally.

It is witcher 3 codebase. Which means this was planned for Witcher 3 not cyberpunk.
In the end they have gone with "normal" list based menu.

They probably fumbled with idea in development but they realized sometimes they want more than 4 sentences on screen thus they scrapped it. Normal thing during dev cycle.

Wheel type selection isn't shit. It is just not suited for things with many options.

 

[DosBuster]

That menu design looks pretty sci-fi to me, cyberpunk will run on the REDEngine 3 also so it's entirely possible for some files to cross over.

It doesn't make any sense to design or work on production pipeline of one game and create in it other parts of different game.
That simply does not happen.
More logical would be to fork something from code which later won't be pulled into production (in which case you wouldn't see that).

This is probably just left over from where they thunk about how to create choices UI

 

[DosBuster]

They could've been using Witcher 3 UI assets as a placeholder and somehow new Cyberpunk test assets made their way in via the mysterious magic that is version control. Or somehow it ended up in the Redkit files for some reason.

 

[moon knight]

They will not do a wheel unless they are stupid. Everyone knows how bad the 4 option was received in Fallout 4.

Considerting how they gutted Alchemy, made a retarded skill tree, shit level scalling and dumbed down preperations for Witcher 3. I would say they are pretty stupid.

 

[Duellist_D]

They didn't dumb down preparations, they cut out the retarded dumbfuckery from Part II and made it again more like part 1, where "tactical use of potions" didn't boil down to "sip a potion when your outgame knowledge tells you that there will be enemies around the next corner.
The Skiltree is on the same level of mediocre as the ones from 1 (uncreative) and 2 (also uncreative), but all work well enough.

Also what Perkel said, this is most likely buttasshold Code from the time when ME3 was indeed "fresh" and they tried whether this would work in TW3.

More logical would be that those files are basically templates for UI creation which is incorporate as standard part of their engine.

We can safely assume that they want to create few projects on it so templated for basic UI elements is something they probably have for quick prototyping for their new games.

You have to equip skills. The skill system in TW3 is the worst out of all 3 games.

 

[Duellist_D]

You have to equip skills.

So what?
Thats hardly unheared of in the RPG sector.

Yeah, it's okay to have dumb design in your game because other dumb people also did it.

 

[Duellist_D]

There is absolutely nothing dumb in having to make tactical choices in regards to your active skills.

If you want to go that way "everything is always active", would actually be the consoltard popamole-like way.

 

[Lhynn]

Theres nothing "tactical" about equipping skills on witcher 3. Theres a strategical element but its overall simplistic as fuck.
Theres no defending this character system, its just plain awful.

 

[Duellist_D]

As i said, this is a pretty meaningless word.
Having everything always active is even more simplistic, so thats not really a base to argue its worse than the CS in W1+2

Are you fucking stupid?

Actually, slotting skills is forced by a limited number of buttons on a pad, so it is one of the most offendable symptoms of consolitis.
Please, tell me how Neverwinter MMO with 5 or 6 active skills is more tactical compared to whatever IE game/NWN/NWN2/whatever older classic D&D game or DnD Online.

 

[Excidium II]

Guild Wars was more tacticool and strategic than all of those with just 8 slots.

 

[Duellist_D]

Are you fucking stupid?

Come back when you have the mental capacities to provide actual arguments that don't boil down to "it triggers my sensible feels, thus its OBJECTIVELY bad" femiturdian dialectics and circular "logic".

Would Neverwinter MMO be more tactical with all slots active at the same time or is the non-tacticality just deeply rooted in the game itself?
Diablo vs the original Dungeon Siege. Both have only 2 active slots, yet one can be highly tactical while the other in is... well... Dungeon Siege.
Granted, W3 would imho have profited from all Skills having both Active and Passive bonuses, the latter being in effect even if the Skill wasn't equipped. Even without it though, its still a fine working system, forcing you to make choices in your style of fighting. The extremely high level cap would else quickly boil down to a "be good at everything" type of char.
