Unless these myriad of dialog options lead somewhere meaningful, it's not much different from Mass Effect or the even older Knights of the Old Republic and other precursors.

#12Another first-person shooter. :-( They spend all that money and time creating worlds, it'd be nice to have another Skyrim or two some day. Set in a cyberpunk world. There aren't enough RPGs made anymore.

Starfield is likely roughly a year out. So that’s pretty exciting.

#13"The trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 strikes me as GTA skinned-over with a generic 80s retro-future, but hey, that's just me." --William Gibson[1]
It's mentioned (and little more) in the article at the end, but it still seems odd to invoke Gibson's name and not talk about this more.

#14The Witcher 3 and its expansions are probably my favorite game of all times, and I've been gaming voraciously since the late 80s. The story, the connection to the characters, the feeling of immersion into the world, and the character of Geralt himself are not something I've seen in many other titles. Somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7 in terms of its impact on me as a participant to the experience.
The pressure on that studio to deliver something amazing couldn't be any higher.

I don't know, it seems more intense as an FPS than Skyrim:
"Cyberpunk 2077 diverges from that series in a few major ways, and the first is with brutal high-speed gunplay. "

He's not half wrong - too little cyberspace internals in the trailer. Makes me wonder how this will be resolved, given that the game is based on Cyberpunk 2020, a tabletop rpg game written well before the mobile and blockchain revolutions.

Is this really a criticisms though? I would buy that in a heartbeat, heh

#18Was looking forward to this till I heard it was first person perspective. Just can't play first person games on console with a controller. Lost all interest in it now.
I'd at least give it some time, watch a few streams of it before turning your back on it, cd projekt red might release something beautiful, it's not even complete yet and you could potentially have the options for 3rd person perspective.

I'm sorry but what is this based on? Bethesda showed a logo and a pre-rendered video of a planet. I have a feeling we're far more than roughly a year out from Starfield releasing.

Insightful :) Sold!
(I realise Gibson's remark is meant to be dismissive.)
I'm not into gaming any more but I grew up on Gibson novels and the last game I played through and through was GTA Vice City. Ergo, I'd love this.
Oh, the tune from the trailer is Spoiler by Hyper, it's rather nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G70S5fumHso It reminds me of Pursuit by Gesaffelstein for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRSijEW_cDM
