We have a TON to talk about today including details on a custom Cyberpunk 2077 GPU, GeForce Now vs Stadia, Braindance Gear, Romance Details, an amazing new image of Night City, and big Cyberpunk red news and first look images.
First up we have a couple new images coming out from a Twitter user who visited CD PROJEKT RED’s studio in what seems to be Krakow. We see the iconic cardinal, and the front desk but we also see this concept art of what seems to be one of the districts in Night City. This huge wall of concept art really gives you a feel for what the developmental team envisions for this Cyberpunk world, and I immediately get vivid images of Ghost in The Shell and Dredd as the most similar comparisons to what we see here.
As for what district this could be, we see some power plants in the bottom corner, with gas flares, which are used in industrial plants to burn off flammable gas released by pressure relief valves. This gives us a big hint that it is Santo Domingo, which is described as the area where all Night City is powered from with its countless power plants and industrial factories. This is an area dangerous due to the toxic products of these plants and we see what looks like it may be a Dam as well.
Next up we have some amazing news coming out from NVIDIA in collaboration with Cyberpunk 2077. NVIDIA has had a relationship with CDPR ever since Cyberpunk 2077 announced it would be utilizing Raytracing in 2077, which will allegedly give the best graphical experience possible. They are currently taking this partnership one step further with the announcement of the RTXOn Sweepstakes where you can win a Limited-Edition Cyberpunk 2077 RTX 2080TI, which I have to say looks absolutely brilliant.
On NVIDIA’s official page they say, “We’ve made just 200 of these Cyberpunk 2077 GPUs, they won’t be sold, but you can potentially win one. Each has a custom AL5052 aluminum shroud, with Cyberpunk 2077s signature styling and powerful GeForce RTX 2080 Ti hardware underneath. And of course, it comes gift wrapped in a special edition Cyberpunk 2077 box, perfect for a collector’s shelf.
We also have another announcement from NVIDIA that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a title for GeForce NOW, which is NVIDIAs cloud gaming service along the same lines of google stadia and microsoft’s project xCloud.
Moving on we have a new image shared by Cyberpunk 2077 for Valentines Day this year. If you guys remember last year, they showcased this chromed out Cupid sporting this giant pink Sniper rifle for Valentines day, and this year they delivered another really awesome image from the Cyberpunk world. This woman who I think is oddly reminiscent of Sandra Dorsett from the first 48 minute demo, is featured wearing this headset or headgear piece of some sort being used to watch a steamy Braindance. With the caption, no plans for Valentines Day? Solo is always a good option, this likely refers to the fact that this braindance is highly sexual in nature, and that with braindance you don’t really need another flesh and bone human to have a little fun. The panels on the headset emit these hearts onto the eyes of this character, and from what we know about Braindance so far, we know that many of these experiences have to do with romantic extra-curriculars.
In the same vein when we are discussing romances, a reddit user pulled up an old and overlooked tweet from CDPR developer Mateus Tomaskiewicz, where we learn more about gay, lesbian, bi and straight relationships and how they are balanced in Cyberpunk 2077. In the thread a user asks about how attractive the gay romance option will be, to which Mateusz responds with he thinks he’s a stud, but also mentions a female gay romance option.
Another user chimes in with a follow up comment mentioning that if we only get one gay and lesbian option, they hope the straight options are balanced and there’s more bisexual options, to which Mateusz responds with Everyone will get equal amounts of quality content when it comes to romances, relationships and options in Night City. Now again this was an older tweet, so as always things are subject to change.
Next up we have some amazing details from RTalsorian and Cyberpunk Red. If you guys tuned into the Cyberpunk 2077 Community Podcast on this channel last Sunday, you’d know we got the chance to premiere two new Cyberpunk Red images for the first time thanks to JGray and the guys at RTalsorian. What we showed were these 2 images which will be featured in the full release of Cyberpunk Red, which is a tabletop RPG primer to Cyberpunk 2077 which takes place in the 2040s, after Cyberpunk 2020 and before 2077, which now has a tentative release date for June!
