Cyberpunk 2077 News – Pushing Boundaries, 2077 Lore Book & Low End Hardware Optimized?

In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 video we will be talking about Cyberpunk 2077’s GOG sales, GOG’s Night City news series, some new Interviews where we learn about Implants, Keanu Reeves and clarification on what he is, Actors and actresses in the world of Night City, Pushing the boundaries in gaming, Optimization for consoles and lower end PCs, Religion in Cyberpunk 2077, Killing Big NPCS and much more more.

Next up we have this awesome new release for Pre order from Dark Horse Comics called The World of Cyberpunk 2077. This is described as an insightful, captivatingly designed, full-color hardcover that transports readers to the futuristic megalopolis of Night City. This is an extensive examination of the rich lore of Cyberpunk 2077 with 200 pages of goodness. If you guys are into art, or learning about the world of Cyberpunk this is a must buy. Pre orders are live, so head on over to Amazon and reserve a copy.

Next up we have details on how Cyberpunk 2077 will look on low-end PCs and modern consoles. In an interview with WCCFTech, CDPR’s Alvin Liu was asked a question regarding the optimization for lower end hardware, since many have become wary that their machines will not be able to run Cyberpunk 2077.

Alvin responds as follows. We have a very custom engine, the RED Engine. We’re targeting consoles as first class platforms and it looks amazing there.

Next we have A couple awesome details. When it comes to the music of Cyberpunk 2077 it seems like CDPR has added Paul-Leonard morgan to it’s team of composers. If you guys have seen 2012’s Dredd, he composed the soundtrack for that movie which is a fairly strong soundtrack in my opinion. He also shared a snippet of his work, which seems to be featured in the gameplay sneak peek trailer.

When it comes to attacking NPCS we will be able to be aggressive to most of the people you meet, other than children or NPCs connected with the plot.

Next we have details that every 3rd copy of Digital versions of Cyberpunk 2077 have been pre ordered from GOGcom a subsidiary of CR PROJEKT GROUP. This is awesome because CD PROJEKT GROUP collects 100% of the money upon purchase and it’s a great way to support developers who are actually making good games these days. If you haven’t already consider pre ordering via GOG and show CDPR that we appreciate their hardwork and consumer friendly policies.

Speaking of GOG, the entire team is so hyped about Cyberpunk 2077 that they have decided to launch a new magazine called the Night City News where they will post updates about the game. In issue #1 they feature their 2019 version of Chippin in by legendary chrome rock music band Samurai, played by the REFUSED, a brief synopsis on netrunner T-Bug and the nature of her betrayal in the 2019 CGI trailer, a brief synopsis of Pacifica, the cosplay contest details, and some details on nonlethal settings on weapons to neutralize enemies. This is all stuff we have covered, but it’s nice to glean over again. Also they have provided a high quality do it yourself Cyberpunk 2077 poster you can print out. Trust me when I say if you guys hang this up in your room youll be getting all the babes.

Moving on to an interview with Game Media we have more from mateusz tomaszkiewicz . When asked what other Hollywood stars he’d like to see in the game apart from Keanu he says “I love Meryl Streep .. I love the Devil wears Prada, and it would be a great to have her as one of the characters in the game” he goes on to mention that “She could totally be one of the big corporate characters in the game.”

Cyberpunk 2077 News – 3 Cyberpunk Projects, New Screenshots, Sex & Romance & MORE!

In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2077 News we have yet another densely filled News episode for you guys including details about 3 Cyberpunk games in development for CD PROJEKT RED and clarification on exactly what that means, Refused as the in-game band Samurai, the full release of Chippin In by CD PROJEKT RED and the Samurai EP details, a full analysis of new screenshots from a German Magazine , Cyberpunk 2077’s prologues and how they are connected to lifepath choices, A Cyberpunk 2077 movie possibility, romance and sex options in Night City and much much more!
First we have new details via a Polish economics website called Bankier.pl writing about a CD PROJEKT RED meeting or conference where we learn about future Cyberpunk titles. Now earlier in the week it was largely reported on from a Google translate version of this Bankier Article that CD PROJEKT RED was currently developing 3 Cyberpunk projects including Cyberpunk 2077.

This information comes directly from CDPR president Adam Kicinski who mentions that there are 3 teams working on Cyberpunk “Things – the main game and two more projects.”
Piotr Nielubowicz also stated “Our next big project will also be in the Cyberpunk universe, and we’re already working on it and treating it as a really big and innovative project for us.”
CD PROJEKT RED recently clarified to the media after the Bankier article saying that they have 5 teams in total with 3 focused on the development of Cyberpunk 2077, one for gwent and one for an unannounced mobile title in conjunction with Spokko. “These include CD PROJEKT RED Warsaw and Krakow handling the main game of Cyberpunk 2077, and the Wroclaw studio where there are 40 industry specialists engaged in research and development.”
Wroclaw is most likely for the Multiplayer component to Cyberpunk which may come out post launch.

Just as a final note, Kicinski also mentions in that the beginning of 2020 we will get a strong does of Cyberpunk information and that industry journalists will already be playing it and writing about it.

Next we have some details on the Music of Samurai a legendary rock band in the Cyberpunk Universe lead by Johnny Silverhand. CD PROJEKT RED released their updated version of Chippin In by Samurai who will be represented by the sounds of Swedish rock band Refused. This Chippin In version really represents the aggression of chromatic rock much better.

Further details from Marcin Pryzbylowicz state that the Samurai EP will feature songs such as Black Dog and Never Fade Away from the lore as well as songs exclusively created for Cyberpunk 2077.

Next we have a new screenshot via GamePro.de magazine from Germany. In this screenshot we see the arm of V breaking through the rubble of a seemingly deserted area of the outskirts of the city much like what we saw in the ending to the E3 2019 CGI trailer.

Moving onto the image itself we have a Militech revolver which we we can see being used by Male V in the cover art and by Dexter Deshawn in the CGI trailer. The figure looks like what Morgan Blackhand, one of the best Solos from 2020 lore would look like with his signature trenchcoat. If we zoom in, this could be blackhand based on a redesign.

Next up we have details of 3 separate prologues for the game based on the Lifepath options we pick at the beginning. In details from Pawel sasko he mentions that “The player in Cyberpunk 2077 can create a custom character that has one of three origin stories, that we call lifepaths: you can be Nomad, Corpo or Street Kid. Each of the Lifepaths have a different starting location and story background that are strongly connected with the origin story. Anything more I say can reveal too much from the story, so I will leave it like this.” We also know from previous statements that our outfits will be different based on our Life path options.

Next we have details about romances, sex, NPC and getting friendzoned in Night City. Again from lead designer Pawel Sasko we learn a little bit more about how relationships have the potential to unfold. Pawel says NPCs will have their own goals, motivations and needs and thus there will be scenarios where NPCs will choose a friendship over a relationship.
He goes on to mentions that some relationships will be hard to cultivate and that NPCs will have some preferences that are impossible to change which leads to characters feeling genuine and real.

Next we have some weapon customization details. Mateus Tomaszkiewicz spoke to GamingBolt where he said that you can customize your weapons in a variety of ways including scopes and silencers and specific weapons will have a certain amount of slots for these.

Moving on we have some details about the nature of Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk 2077 from the man himself Mike Pondsmith. In some recent articles he dives into the expansiveness of the world, the politics of Cyberpunk and the potential for a Hollywood movie for Cyberpunk.

CD PROJEKT RED & Keanu Reeves – The Bird & The Breeze!

In today’s video I wanted to highlight CD PROJEKT RED and Keanu Reeves and compare and contrast as to why they are a match made in heaven, who have both gotten to where they are by being authentic, down to earth, hard-working , devoted to the audience and consumer, and how Cyberpunk 2077 will be better because of it.

Let’s start off with the Incredible accomplishments + humble beginnings of Keanu Reeves and CD PROJEKT RED individually.
Keanu had a fairly rough childhood where his father left his family at the young age of 3, as well experiencing the loss of a childhood friend to a drug overdose just to name a few. Keanu had always loved Drama class and he eventually dropped out of high school to pursue his acting career, where he found his niche in action movies and had his big breakthrough in The Matrix as Neo and later as John Wick. These roles have reached such legendary status that the mere thought of Keanu and 90% of us instantly attribute him to one of these epic roles. The Matrix was my favorite action adventure movie through my childhood and so I know whenever I see him, despite the beard and long hair I still see Neo. As for people who have taken a loving to John Wick they see him as the unstoppable assassin avenging his wife and dog. This is the status that all Hollywood actors desire, to play a part so well it becomes deeply engrained in the minds of the audience long after the credits roll.

On the flipside, let’s take a look at CDPR. CD PROJEKT RED funnily enough started in an environment of the slim pickings of socialism in Warsaw. Marcin Iwinski and Michal Kicinski founded CD PROJEKT in May 1994 and were initially acting as a distributor of foreign video games for the domestic market. It wasn’t until 2002 that CD PROJEKT RED was formed where they started developing their Witcher games. By luck or fate they created the Witcher series based on reused code from a PC version of Baldur’s Gate: Dark alliance. Fast forward to 2015 and beyond and CD PROJEKT RED’s name is synonymous with attention to detail and the ability to blend narrative driven story telling with a sprawling RPG world.

Next Let’s dive into how Reeves and CDPR operate off the set and out of the Studio. On numerous occasions Keanu Reeves has taken paycuts for movies he has filmed in the past to allow for there to be a budget to hire actors who would fit that particular movie. Reeves took a 2 million paycut in The Devil’s advocate so that the studio behind it was able to hire Al Pacino as the lead. For a movie called The Replacements he took a whopping 90% pay cut so that Gene Hackman was able to be signed for the film. On the set of The Matrix, he gave a struggling set builder a 20k bonus to help make ends meet. He also bought employees who he thought were most deserving Harleys during the shooting of the second Matrix movie. Keanu also runs a private foundation that funnels money into a couple childrens hospitals and for cancer research.

Contrast this to how CDPR treats it’s community and nurtures it’s environment. CD PROJEKT RED has been steadfast in delivering incredibly high quality games to the consumer, DRM free. This is in essence means you could theoretically pirate the game and play it for free if you wanted to, and that there are no checks like internet connections or the need for discs to be present for you to enjoy their content. CD PROJEKT RED is also firm on not having predatory micro-transactions which is akin to gambling for kids and pillage the consumer for the benefit of the bottom line of profit. They treat their fans with respect. When it comes to treating staff, while there has been some sort of backlash on this subject, they have mentioned numerous times that employees leaving are a part of the process, and that game development is an industry not for everyone. Their future mission statements are even deeply steeped in the progression for their staff to be happy, healthy and creative.

Finally let’s talk about future expectations and growth mentality of Keanu and CD PROJEKT RED. Now obviously both of these entities have come together for a reason. CD PROJEKT RED has also stated that if it wasn’t Keanu, it wasn’t going to be anyone for his character in Cyberpunk 2077 Johnny silverhand. Not only is this due to the reasons that are apparent on the surface, acting chops, fitting the role, or bringing together people who focus on telling a raw story, it’s mainly because both Keanu and CD PROJEKT RED have “made it out” despite trials and tribulations, but It never changed their resolve. They both continue to go out, to forge, to create and to entertain. These are the types of companies and people that become a success but don’t uproot everything and everyone around them to do so.

I can’t think of a more dynamic duo in the gaming industry at the moment, if not for their raw talent, but for their support of their communities.
