Cyberpunk 2077 – 8 Things You Missed In The Gameplay Sneak Peek Trailer!
In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 video we are going over 8 Things you missed in the Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Sneak peek trailer. If you guys haven’t seen it yet it is an unlisted video on the Cyberpunk 2077 channel, but we did see it live at E3 prior to the release date reveal.
First we have a look at what could be lootable books in the world of Night City. It seems like paperback books have not ceased to exist in the dark future, and in the character creation hybrid scene for the demo, we see a stack of 3 books and another book cover as the view pans to male V. Now we could have books here because the area is in Pacifica which is a poverty-stricken gang infested district, and it could lack more technological innovations and chips previously seen but that’s just my speculation. The books we see is Sayonara station, rewiring synaptic pathways, the chronicles of titania and the maxtac way. Sayonara means goodbye and is borrowed from Japanese. The maxtac way is likely an interesting book on the methodologies of the Psycho squad who are also referred to as the maxtac. These are the scariest law enforcement group in Night City who focus on hunting down and killing Cyberpsychos who are on murderous rampages under the grip of Cyberpsychosis. Next we have the chronicles of titania, again not really sure what this would be about, Although Titania is the name of a character in Shakespeares play a midsummers night dream. At the top we have rewiring synaptic pathways, which as someone who loves psychology intrugies me. Rewiring neural pathways is a pretty common practice in rehabilitative psychology. Again this might have something to do with Cyberpsychosis as cyberpsychos usually need braindance as a rehabilitative method, which is essentially reqiring your neural pathways using hyper realistic VR.
Next up we have a sports arena in the background of this shot somewhere in Pacifica. In a couple of frames we see that there is a athlete wearing what looks like Football gear, and we know that combat sports are a part of the lore of Cyberpunk. We also see the teams which seems to be the corsairs versus a team whose logo is a dragon in the shape of an S which seems to represent San Diego, but regardless this seems to be confirmation that there will be sports other than boxing in the world. Now Pacifica is pretty run down so it’s also possible the advertisements has just been left there unchanged for a long period of time and sports were a big thing in this district BEFORE it turned into a hellhole.
Next up we have a little placeholder from the movie theatre scene where you are holding up NetWatch agent Bryce Mosely. If you guys remember the E3 2018 art for Cyberpunk 2077s on site booth, youll remember that this was exactly what they had inside. The theatre is projecting the same image, and I’m going to assume it’s a placeholder and there will be a legit movie playing when we get in the game. Obviusly there seems to be a ton of movie posters in the world, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Next we have an audio snippet during the trailer when meeting Placide. Male V can be heard saying Mr. Hand sent me am I right for the job. Now this got me thinking as to which Hand V is referring to. It would be obvious to assume Johnny Silverhand, who is the digital ghost AI attached to the immortality chip in Male V’s brain, but we also recently got an image where the possibility of Morgan Blackhand was questioned. If this scene in the screenshot is before our expedition to Pacifica, maybe Morgan Blackhand is part of the story and is sending us on a mission of some sort.
Next we have the hacking sequence where Male V jacks int the panel. If you look very closely, this panel belongs to Petrochem one of the biggest megacorporations in Night City that have yet to be confirmed in Cyberpunk 2077, although it is implied with the use of CHOOH2 in our super cars. Petrochem is an Agircorp, and the worlds largest producer of CHOOH2 in Cyberpunk 2020. There’s also some intriguing data on the side, one being the name of Valerie Sutnar writing the program or code for this panel. And the little code at the bottom that resembles steam wallet codes or digital content codes you guys can use to redeem for something online. I tried this on GOG already, although I did notice it a while ago so it’s probably been used if it is a code. Regardless, you can try and test your luck or decipher if that’s what it actually is.
Next we have the BIGGEST revelation of all, the fact that they still use toiler bowl cleaner in Night city.
Finally at the end, we have what looks like the Militech logo as we are netrunning into the deep web with Brigitte and some of the voodooboys. It will be interesting to see if Militech owns a lot of these servers, or if they are funding the Voodooboys and Militech’s involvement into netrunning if any.
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.
Cyberpunk 2077 News – TONS of Developer Answers & Details! (Customization, Weapons, Gangs & MORE!)
In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2077 video we have a super packed news episode for you including leveling up your weapons and weapon proficiency, an entire recap and breakdown of the 2 hour podcast featuring CD PROJEKT RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 community manager Lilayah where we learn a ton of amazing details, a tweet of things to come, The Tygers Claw Gang, Cyberpunk Red’s new box art reveal, a huge info dump from Pawel Sasko the Lead quest designer for Cyberpunk 2077 + more!
Getting right into the news we first are going to go through some of the pivotal questions and answers from our Q+A session with Lilayah from CD PROJEKT RED.
The first question we got answered was in relation to the music direcion. The direction has changed drastically. Refused is the first band they are collaborating with and Refused’s music will be represented by the Samurai band in game.
Lilayah also mentions that based on these details that the 2019 Chippin in version will be the one they use in the game and the 2018 version has been scrapped.
Next we have a question about why Johnny Silverhand has dark hair in 2077 when in the source material of 2020 he has blonde hair. They will explain this in game in depth in game, but Lilayah drops a hint that The immortality chip has gone from hand to hand and this could be the reason why Johnny is no longer blonde.
When it comes to how much of Cyberpunk 2077 is CDPR’s vision compared to Mike Pondsmith’s vision, Lilayah mentions that it’s more like a 75 / 25 split in favor of CDPR with Mike confirming that things don’t break the universe.
When it comes to explaining the lore, they will have lore explanations as part of their content drops.
Apartments unfortunately won’t be customizable and we can only have on apartment overall, but they have an internal decision to make regarding vehicle customization.
Our next new detail we learn from Lilayah is that Cyberware can also be removed and replaced.
Map size is a question CD PROJEKT RED has gotten frequently. When asked about the Badlands Lilayah mentions that the nomads will play a larger part in the story.
When it comes to the dismemberment system, you will need powerful weapons to actually dismember an enemy. You won’t be able to harvest body implants from the body.
When it comes to space travel, Lilayah mentions we wont be able to go to space in 2077.
With the introduction of potentially having non-binary characters, V will still be called V although they are still writing the dialogue.
When it comes to gangs, the 6 districts will have a main gang or gangs, and there will be sub gangs like the scavs in each district. The Tygers claw and Valentinos are the new one that seems to be just as big as the voodoooboys and maelstrom.
Clothing wise, yes you will be able to swap out clothes at any time and the lifepath option you pick will change how you are initially dressed.
Surrendering to the police and wanted levels won’t work like they do in GTA, but you will have to hide and lay low if you create too much destruction in Night City.
Next we have an interview with Miles Tost where he explains a very interesting gameplay mechanic. In this interview Miles mentions that Weapon skills increase from usage, and the more you fire or use your weapons the more proficient you will become at them like in real life. As you train and use your weapon the crosshair gets smaller and tighter, accuracy increases, recoil drops and reload speed increase. The shooting range and boxing arena will be a way to train these mechanics and feature an increased learning speed buff.
Next we have even more developer answers to questions that the twitter community have been firing off to Lead quest designer for CD PROJEKT RED Pawel Sasko,
First we have a question from a user asking if you can dress like a corporate, to which Sasko responds that there will be a ton of equipment options including corporate attire.
When it comes to vehicles Pawel mentions that you are able to buy vehicles in the game, although some unique ones can only be obtained in quests.
Next we have a couple quick details.
We also have some of the audio designers from CD PROJEKT RED taking in some of the sights and specifically sounds of Tokyo.
Before I forget I also wanted to add in one more thing, which is a new Cyberpunk 2077 article in a Chinese magazine showing off some new screenshots from the demo as well as the new Superbike in the game.
Next we have a tweet from again Cyberpunk 2077s community manager Lilayah cryptically hinting at something we will see very soon, with an image of the girl from the E3 trailer modyfing herself with her missing jaw. There’s been some speculation it’s a character creator, which Lilayah has debunked.
Finally we have the reveal of Cyberpunk Red’s box art for the Jumpstart kit coming out on august 1st at GenCon. We also get our first shot at the dice for Cyberpunk red.
Cyberpunk 2077 News – ALL Details, Info & News From E3 2019!
Today we are going over ALL the news, details and information from E3 2019 when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077. This will include every single tidbit of NEW information compiled from all the articles and videos out there at the moment. This will include new mechanics, story details, gameplay elements, world building details, hacking vs tankier builds, new gangs and districts and more.
Getting right into the juicy news we first have some of the new images from Cyberpunk 2077 and some details and information to go along with them. CDPR shared screenshots from the Public and Private demo showcases on multiple platforms which highlight the world of Pacifica, The voodooboys and more.
We also have new Steelbooks as preorders from some of the retailers for Cyberpunk 2077. These steelbooks feature the new gangs. We have the Maesltrom from Watson, The voodooboys from Pacifica, The Tygers Claw and the Valentinos. Mateus Tomaskiewich has made mention that the 6 districts of Night City will each be run by a certain gang or faction and that there will be sub factions amongst them. There is also the Badlands segment on the ourskirts of the world and will feature 2 Nomad factions, the aldecaldos and Raff and shiv.
When it comes to districts and new areas there is also Cyberspace. In the world of Cyberpunk 2077 there is a black wall which seperates the original Cyberspace in the lore from Cyberpunk 2077’s localized networks.
When it comes to mini-games there is a Boxing / mma mini game with a series of matches, as well as car racing and a shooting range at the Second Amendement with Wilson.
CD PROJEKT RED also released beautiful new Cyberpunk 2077 concept art.
When it comes to the CGI trailer many have been asking if this is an integral part of the story arc. This is representative of a mission in game and you will be able to influence the result based on how you play. When it comes to Male V’s voice actor, it’s been confirmed that it is Gavin Drea.
Now we all know that Keanu Reeves is Johnny Silverhand in the game, and we have some interesting details about him. First He was approached a year ago to get on board with the project. He is an integral part of the story and is the #2 character other than V with the most dialogue lines. They had 15 days of voice recording for Keanu and he is a digitized consciousness connected to the immortality chip. The way you develop your relationship with Johnny impacts the way you play, and the quests and scenes that you see. CDPR said if it wasn’t Keanu for Silverhand they didn’t want anyone else.
Moving onto the Gameplay mechanics, this new demo CD PROJEKT RED was showing was focused more on these nuanced mechanics. First we learn that the Childhood hero tab has now been replaced via their Life path system. This includes a backstory of either a street kid, corporate or nomad. This influences options further on in the story as you progress, and unlocks new dialogue potentials for those who share similar backgrounds.
There is also a perk system connected to your skills which will also unlock varied dialogue options when interacting other people. The perks in the demo included Pistols, rifles, blades, shotguns, twohanded, hacking, assassinations, cold blood, sniper rifles, engineering, melee and athletics. Perks will allow you to improve your effectiveness with specific weapons, and unlock new weapons and abilities.
When it comes to using companions and drones they have only confirmed the Spiderbot which can have new abilities unlocked as you level up your Techie skill tree. You will be able to play the entire game without killing enemies.
When it comes to vehicles, you will be able to have multiple and you can keep them in garages. You will be able to summon them like roach, likely due to smart link or auto driving feature. You will be able to steal cars and drive through crowds of people but be wary of the governing force of the districts you do this in. Yes you will only have one apartment instead of multiple, as they have gone back to the drawing board for this feature.
When it comes to modifying yourself with Cyberware, there is the option to play an almost no Upgrade human path. The base augments you will need include the Kiroshi eye and the subdermal grip shown in last years demo. You will be able to exchange most of your body, legs, spine and more but not to the degree of the Maelstrom.
NVIDIA has announced full real time ray tracing support via RTX technology.
When it comes to endings, there will be a ton of endings, with sub endings and variations to each ending.
Mike Pondsmith the developer of the source material also mentions how at the beginning of development CD PROJEKT RED’s weapon design was too shiny. He wanted bug, ugly and brutal guns that reflect the gritty atmosphere.
Mike expects that there will be a port to next gen at some point in the future. Mateus expects that censorship will be similar to the witcher 3 and be largely region based.
Cyberpunk 2077 – Everything We Know About E3 2019!
In Today’s Cyberpunk 2077 video we are going over everything you need to know about E3 2019 that we currently know going into it, from facts, to rumours and leaks. This is obviously going to be hyper specific to CD PROJEKT RED and Cyberpunk 2077. CD PROJEKT RED has claimed their biggest E3 ever, and how can you not when you have a massive poster like this enticing E3 attendees in LA, so let’s get into what we know about E3 2019 thus far.
Let’s start with June 9th where we will most likely see a Cyberpunk 2077 showcase or presentation of some sort at Microsoft’s E3 briefing. Rumors and speculation is a gameplay and or CGI trailer of some sort, gameplay showcased, and a possible release date. This showcase will likely be longer than what we saw last year with just the minute and a half E3 trailer at the end.
A NeoGaf user who claims to be an insider also mentions a gameplay trailer, a progress update on the game and a tentative release window. If you guys want something fun to do during this conference check out our friend NightCityLife’s E3 2019 Bingo card for Cyberpunk 2077 and play along.
Earlier yesterday we saw our first leak of what could be the collectors edition that could possibly be announced at E3 with this image online. In the original post the user says A friend of mine sent this to me over Discord. It’s in Polish which is why the logo on the bottom-right is CD Projekt instead of Warner Bros as CDP are publishing the game in their homeland of Poland. This looks really well done to be a fake especially the little Night City postcard render and the artbook cover. The fact that they’ve got this ready to go makes me wonder if we’ll be seeing a release date for 2020 at the Microsoft Presser. What do you think, Era?
Some users speculated that it might be a fake or a standard edition instead of a CE and put it next to a Witcher 3 standard edition, which it looked very similar content wise to. The “collectors edition” leak has been debunked by CDPR community manager Lilayah as not being a collector’s edition, but it still could potentially be a standard or middle tier version. There was also an image of a big box leaked online featuring Cyberpunk 2077 but the concensus seems to be it being a press kit or promo display materials for a game store post E3 since the background seems to look like a Gamestop or EB Games.
When it comes to the on floor event for attendees at E3 CD PROJEKT RED has confirmed that they will have a public showcase for the first time. They are partnering with Warner Bros their North American Distributor for a Cyberpunk 2077 public showcase where people at the event will be able to check out the game, being played by CDPR staff in the (South exhibit Hall?). There is also a private demo in the business area, which will be on hour long and will be shown off to influencers and media, but again not playable as staff will be guiding the demo. These events will not be streamed live or uploaded after the fact.
So what’s the difference between the public and private demo? The private demo is likely longer than the public demo but other than that CDPR can obviously not tell us at the moment. They are both held in theatres however. I found some images on twitter from CDPR reps and employees that have shown off what these booths could look like and they feature a really awesome samurai design. They are also sporting the employee jackets which seem to be reversible from the last news video we were speaking on.
Now for us at home, CDPR has also said there will be surprises and content for us as well and that we should not worry and that we won’t be disappointed. The game has become Quite Different than last years demo and this is likely due to them fully fleshing out some of their Work in progress mechanics and designs.
Now moving onto June 12th we have 2 notable CD PROJEKT RED and Cyberpunk 2077 events, that you guys are going to want to participate in or keep your eyes on.
First we have co founder and jouint CEO of CD PROJEKT RED Marcin Iwinski at the E3 coliseum with Geoff Knightley to hold an event called the past present and future of CD PROJEKT RED. If you guys remember last year Kyle Rowley and Miles Tost were on the Coliseum. The presentation will last 30 minutes and we will most definitely get some more in depth answers than last year about the game where they were incredibly vague and couldn’t answer anything other than rudimentary questions.
Next we have a Developer Q&A via Tumblr. As far as I know you need a Tumblr account to ask questions and I’m not quite sure why they chose Tumblr, but hey if you guys want your questions answered go ask them here. Also please look at official FAQs and videos before you ask questions because I know there will be a ton of questions they’ve answered time and time again, especially if you guys are just learning about 2077 to go check out some resources, videos, FAQs before you ask via this platform.
Cyberpunk 2077 News – “Absolutely Not 2019” Tweet, New Jacket & Cyberpunk Red Kit!
In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 news and details video we are talking about Jason schreier and his absolutely not 2019 release tweet and his follow up to that, A New cyberpunk Jacket, Cyberpunk red, the jumpstart kit and our first look at a new Cyberpunk red image, Jackie’s Romances For The Game, Steam Awards for CDPR and more!
In today’s news segment we first have some tweets from Jason Schriere who is a well known and respected games journalist. A week ago on May 29th in response to a tweet by a fan about a rumor of November 2019 release for a cyberpunk 2077, he responded with “There is absolutely no chance of Cyberpunk 2077 releasing in 2019”. The thing I found odd when it came to this response is not that it’s his belief that 2077 might come out in 2020, it’s the fact he made it an absolute. Okay he’s an insider with a ton of info, but I wasn’t buying the fact that he knew CONCRETELY that it was absolutely 2020 and so I voiced my opinion. Know I’m not hating on Jason at all, but he knows everything he says is going to be put under the microsope because he is well respected, so he could have for sure used “It is my firm belief” Or “Its been strongly hinted to me” that 2077 will come out in 2020 instead of an absolute.
I got shredded in some comments, but honestly I don’t really care and he did clarify what he meant after the fact with a backpedal tweet where he clarified what he actually meant.
Next we have a new Cyberpunk styled jacket given to some of the developmental team for their work within CD PROJEKT RED. Delgapas Salazar a 3D environmental artist for CD PROJEKT RED and presumably some others were gifted with this fresh Cyberpunk jacket, with some interesting patches on it. One is for the CD PROJEKT RED team, and we also have the Night City heat patch we’ve seen on the new Male V model as well from a couple weeks ago. It also looks like there might be a samurai logo on here as well but we can’t really see it. In any case, it’s a nice little perk for developers for their hard work in making games.
Next up we have some Cyberpunk Red details from RTalsorian games. This information partially came from our Cyberpunk 2077 community Podcast, and partially came later from RTalsorian. Now in the podcast JGray the media ambassador for RTalsorian games who makes the source material of Cyberpunk 2077 in Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk Red, mentioned that the August 1st GenCon date had been pushed back and they instead would be releasing the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart kit. The Kit which we later found out will retail at 29.99 and will feature “essential rules, world lore, pre-generated characters, an adventure, screamsheets, dice and more. Everything needed to play right out of the box for people curious about the game and the world. JGray also promoted a new Cyberpunk Red commissioned art piece, which looks pretty awesome.
Next we have a small little detail about the universe when it comes to Jackie’s love interests in the demo last year and in the game as a whole. Lilayah community manager of CD PROJEKT RED had this to say in a reddit thread speculating about Jackie and Female V being romantically involved, where she mentions Jacki already has a girlfriend. A user asks if it is Misty, DR Viktors receptionist to which we get a cryptic winky face answer.
Next we have CD PROJEKT RED receiving their steam awards they’ve won, so head on over to twitter to congratulate them on some well deserved hardware. Im willing to bet this is the first of many if Cyberpunk 2077 and their prospective future games perform well.
Finally we have some Countdown to the dark future details which we haven’t touched on in quite some time. I’m going to highlight the best episodes which feature the Cyberpunk lore and source material of RTalsorians Cyberpunk 2020 which heavily influences CD PROJEKT RED’s 2077.
Last week was vehicles, but this week is the nomad movement something I’ve been curious about for some time and have been recently asking JGray some questions about this so it came at a perfect time.
In episode 156 we learn that during The Collapse, tens of millions of united states citizens were displaced for a variety of reasons, and that some who were displaced became Nomads and developed a vibrant lifestyle centred around a mobile lifestyle. In 2020 there were an estimated 7 million Nomads roaming around north America, and made use of themselves in construction contracts, as couriers and travelling entertainment.
In episode 157 we learn that Nomads follow a code which reads as follows. Protect and respect your clan, and above all your family. Your word is your bond. Share with your clanfolk. Respect the privacy and property of your clan. Never cause trouble for your clan. Take only a fair wage for a day’s work.

Bad News For Cyberpunk 2077 At E3 2019 OR Community Over-Reaction?
In Today’s Cyberpunk 2077 video we are talking about the state of Reddit and to a lesser extent Discord at the moment when it comes to people losing their minds over some of the latest Cyberpunk 2077 news, and trying to put this “bad news” into perspective. I think a lot of online gaming communities tend to devolve into guilty until proven innocent mentalities when it comes to developers these days, for no fault of their own.
Now if you guys are unaware a lot of this backlash is coming off the heels of new knowledge that gameplay from the private demo and the public showcase at E3 2019 will not be recorded or livestreamed and posted online. This has led fans of CD PROJEKT RED and Cyberpunk 2077 into being pretty upset and concerned, Based off the fact that it took so long for CDPR to release their 48 minute gameplay last year after they showed it at E3 and Gamescom 2018. This along with recent statements and coupled with the fact that CDPR has promised their biggest showcase ever has left some people confused.
First off, we know CDPR are perfectionists, and they are going to take their time in development. Based off recent statements saying that the game is quite different and development is an iterative process, them showcasing it to a select few for opinions at-least initially is the same philosophy they had last year. Quite different means again that they are in the same boat as they were before they released their 2018 demo to the panels at E3 and Gamescom.
Next, We don’t know their E3 plans in the slightest. They are not showing the gameplay from the on floor event from 11th and 13th, but that does not count out the possibility of a general gameplay trailer, CGI trailer, screenshots, info-dumps, interviews, story details, dev diaries and more. In fact Lilayah the Cyberpunk 2077 community manager has even said that there will be content for those of us at home including suprises when pressed as to why the demos will only be seen by attendees. Remember Sony is not showing up. Cyberpunk 2077 will have to carry a lot of the weight
Now they have also claimed their biggest E3 ever. Again we do not know their plans for E3 but large elements of their marketing scheme is going to be shrouded in the air of mystery and surprise. They have said this publicly for some time as well as saying they will have their largest marketing campaign ever. Some of this marketing budget has to be allocated into giving us content at home, which make up 99% of the chunk of the people with eyes on 2077, a thorough look at E3. If these statements end up being false, I think there is a reason to be upset and I think some of the statements they’ve made in their marketing would be misleading in terms of the way it was presented.
As for right now, I think it is okay to dial back expectations like always. I do think this is a massive overreaction from people and I definetlye think it stems from the frustration of such a long wait, lack of news, and details and no supplementation through the months with screenshots, concept art or meaningful content we can visualize in the span between E3 and last year. This doesn’t necessarily mean doom and gloom and I think this rewards patience. With that being said lets wait until the entire conference unfolds to determine if it was a disappointing showing or not, and if the hype they have generated was justified especially in terms of them saying “their biggest E3 showing ever”. For now, sit back, relax and wait for E3.
Cyberpunk 2077 News – Alienware “Leak”, Aesthetic Changes & Game Design Listing!
In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2077 News video we have a cryptic tweet sent out by CD PROJEKT RED and Cyberpunk 2077 and some clarification and debunking about it, a new game design job listing from CD PROJEKT RED, an Alienware training event and a potential 2077 leak of sorts, some Cyberpunk forum answers including aesthetic and design changes, and some Countdown the the dark future details highlighting a cataclysmic event in the lore of Cyberpunk.
First we have our art section where we highlight some community creations focused on Cyberpunk 2077.
Getting right into today’s News segment we first have an interesting leak via reddit that was later deleted involving Alienware and Cyberpunk 2077. This was initially discussed on our Cyberpunk 2077 community podcast, so thanks to Mad Queen and IvanGT on twitter for some of these developments.
In this deleted reddit thread a verified Alien ware employee created a post titled “attended a training event for my job last night – I have reason to believe Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out this year”. Again this is from a verified used and goes on to say Attended an alienware hardware training event last night and they had promotional material for their new laptop plastered all over the wall – a cyberpunk 2077 edition that was coming later this year but they couldn’t tell us when or what exactly the partnership would entail, and they had not received permission from CPDR to announce it yet. Our trainer implied that they would announce the hardware partnership when CDPR announces a release date – which isn’t too far away.
Next we have Cyberpunk 2077 tweeting “Soon, Soon” early last week with seemingly no context until some clarification later in the thread, where they mention it’s in reference to the opening of their US Merchandise store.
Now I was in the Cyberpunk 2077 discord as people were speculating on this when Lilayah, CD PROJEKT REDs community manager tried to clear some confusion. She mentions that it was supposed to be a reply in the thread and not its own tweet.
Just as an aside to tweets that the Cyberpunk 2077 twitter has made, I’ll also be keeping my eyes out for a potential dev diary or documentary from the CDPR team based off of this tweet saying I hope CDPR and Cyberpunk teams are making a documentary like how Santa Monica studios did with God of War to which they responded with “who knows…”
Next we have a new job listing for a lead game designer for CD PROJEKT RED. This was found by a subscriber of LastKnowMeal’s and highlighted in one of his videos so you can check that out for additional information and more dedicated coverage. In essence this is a listing for a lead game designer who will help guide the team and supervise the design of gameplay systems and online mechanics in CD PROJEKT RED titles. Some of the responsibilities include directing the gameplay design around fun mechanics, reviewing gameplay and balance, and ensuring that the design and gameplay experience are of the highest quality.
Recent leaks are also suggesting a teaser of sorts for the new IP will be dropped at E3 2019, but then the rumor goes on to say it will release in 2022, after CDPR has explicitly said by 2021, and that they are focusing on 2077 for this particular E3, so take it with a grain of salt.
Next we have some official forum answers from again Lilayah CDPR’s community manager. In a thread regarding if ideas pitched within the forum by fans during the developmental process was incorporated Lilayah says that we will leave that for you to find out.
In a question regarding aesthetic and design changes to the game and some concerns that the game will deviate from what the original poster thought was an amazing gameplay reveal aesthetic, Lilayah responds that changes are super common to pretty much every single aspect, which includes art and graphic designs. This hints at some aesthetic changes for likely the better when it comes to 2077.
This comes along with recent news of the game being quite different than before, and some older news from Adam Badowski specifically mentioning that after the release of the 48-minute gameplay reveal that they will still be modifying netrunning, how weapons behave, driving physics, facial expressions and animations, and that what we’ve seen is very much a draft version.
In our final forum question we have a revelation that CDPR will have something exciting when it comes to cosplay in the future so keep your eyes open, your sewing machines ready and your cyberware nearby. This hints at a cyberpunk 2077 cosplay competition of sorts.
Finally, we have some countdown to the dark future episodes regarding an important moment in the world of Night City called The Collapse. This is a series dedicated to understanding RTlasorian Games source material of Cyberpunk 2020 which Cyberpunk 2077 is largely based on.
Cyberpunk 2077 & CD PROJEKT RED Merch Store is LIVE!
In today’s video we are going to be looking at Cyberpunk 2077 Merch & the CD PROJEKT RED store featuring items from Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher and Gwent. I’ll go through all of the Cyberpunk 2077 merch so far, details about the CD PROJEKT RED store, as well as notable Witcher Merch including an epic Geralt Ronin Statue!
Before we take a look at some of the products, this is only available to Europen Union addresses for right now, but they will expand to North America “soon”.
You can also join the stores newsletter and get updates on new additions, merch pre orders and awesome deals.
First we have the Trauma Team Combat Helmet T-Shirt which features Trauma Team;s iconic ultra-light Biotec ERT-37 Armored Multipurpose Combat Resporator. It features a side profile of the combat respirator with TT’s logo in front and some glitch patterns in the background. The back of the shirt features the Cyberpunk 2077 logo and Trauma Team text.
The garment has a medium fit, and is made of premium cotton.
I think the price is just ok, but I think the design is very well done. The colors in particular don’t really stand out and exude that black and yellow aesthetic we know and love from Cyberpunk 2077, so it is a more subtle design.
Next we have the Cyberpunk 2077 Logo T-Shirt which comes in both grey and black, and has a medium fit and premium cotton material much like the trauma team shirt does. This is likely going to be the best seller, and it also features these mantis blade port mods on the sleeves but the pictures on the store don’t really show that off. I think they should add some pictures of the sleeves because that makes it more unique in my opinion.
Next we have apparel featuring Legendary Rockband of the Cyberpunk world Samurai.
Again same story as the previous 2 in terms of material, fit and price but features the Samurai Oni Mask on the front and the Samurai logo on the back.
We also have a samurai zip up Hoodie, which is 90% cotton and 10% polyester. The front features a red zipper, and the branding of Samurai is on the back with the Oni taking up a big chunk of space, and the Samurai text on the hood.
This one strikes me as a tad pricey, and I think if the drawstrings were red to match the zipper, it would up it’s flare. Now if you want a big ass flaming skull on your back, this is definetlye right up your alley, and the hoodie does look quite comfortable.
Next we have the samurai Varisty jacket, which is again 90% cotton and 10% polyester. I love the fact that the Samurai Text is on the front and is printed vertically. Again, The back features the Samurai logo.
We also two accessories in the Beep Snapback hat and 2077 Lanyard, and I like the homage to the tweet from the Cyberpunk 2077 twitter with the hat, and the lanyard features the 2077 logo and CD PROJEK T RED signature cardinal.
Now CDPR has said that they will make additions to the 2077 section soon, so if none of these strike your fancy I’d recommend waiting till they release more stuff. As it stands right now, we in NA can’t get this straight from the site and a ton of the product is sold out regardless. I assume if you sign up for the newsletter, youll be the first to know changes to the store.
I also wanted to show off this abosultey amazing Geralt Ronin Figure. This is probably one of the most detailed statues I’ve seen, and the fusion of medieval japan and the witcher is incredible. At 219 euros they are currently taking preorders and their planned shipping date is the beginning of Q4 2019. Very curious as that aligns with 2077 rlease speculation but ill save you guys the groaning and moaning since we’ve talking about that a ton!
