So I was going to save this for tomorrow, but I’d like to introduce you to my first non DA lore video:
The idea is that once the Cyberpunk Red sourcebook comes out I’ll be able to fill out the 2020-2045 period

Game looks fucking incredible. 25 minutes of no commentary gameplay, for the curious.

Going by Jackie's call telling V that they went too deep, I took it as stress induced vomiting. Maybe. I hope that’s the case. Also am not a fan of how limited the dialogue options seem to be in what they showed. I hope that’s just because it’s a showcase setup and doesn’t have everything. One things for sure. Definitely playing female V since male V’s voice is annoying. Male V voice sound deeper than in the last years videos. I can't say if they replaced the voice actor or recorded anew asking him to be gruffier. Saying that, one preview I read said you could select different pitch for the voice but I can't tell if the writer believes the female voice is a higher pitched male voice or there is actually more than two voices to pick from (something that haven't been mentioned by devs). As for the dialogue choices, I think the video simply do not show the dialogue choices you do not qualify for (the skill based one and origins related). Some are also not really dialogue choices, but environmental interactions (ripping the patch off his coat as a Nomad) or Mass Effect interrupts (one or two options with a timer, so not taking any is another option as well). Apparently she has a preference which hasn't been confirmed yet. I got a feeling some people are going to decide what gender, their going to play based on that preference. She works in a "studio" that "create" Braindance focused on sex. She's either super kinky or totally over it...

Some are also not really dialogue choices, but environmental interactions (ripping the patch off his coat as a Nomad) or Mass Effect interrupts (V getting out of the VTOL has two options and a timer). I think when they say choosing the pitch they mean choosing male or female voice. So you can play as a male body with female voice and visa versa and the game will react to that. I’ll admit I didn’t realize that scene with the basketball was a quick time when I first watched it. As for the romance discussion, I hope soon they can answer whether all romances require sex or not. Last year they said they wanted to represent as much as possible and knew not all relationships are sexual, but couldn’t get into more than that.

Last year they said they wanted to represent as much as possible and knew not all relationships are sexual, but couldn’t get into more than that. I don't blame you to have missed it, the timer last like 5 seconds and it is selected 2 seconds in. I might have watched that part too many times . And they seem to use the feature quite a bit as I've seen timers in the other intro footage as well. Dialogue prompt is also used a lot for interactions, instead of having different looking prompt for these. On the other side, the dialogue choices text seems to be exactly what V says (or start to say) so no guessing what the paraphrasing means. As for romances, I'm not sure if I want first person porn sex scenes that much...so hopefully you can bypass it/don't have to do it. I did read that you can disable nudity though. And I now have a crazy question: can V get a Braindance implant and watch some of the stuff they do in 3rd person afterward???

Good videos, i quite content with what they showed and considering that they are still polish it, that can only get a better product (that those like those crusty releases that EA has made the last decade). The only bad thing that i can point out (with the info now aviable) is that they ditched 2 origins stories (netrunner and other stuff), a shame i really liked the sound of the first one, but street kids looks cool enough (i'll probably end up doing every origins in due time). Now, if they toss some 80s movies character here and there, i would make them an altar (i really want a firefight against robocop), one can dream, right? btw, any loregod that could explain me why is the surrounding of NC looks so fucked up? did the US west coast get nuked? cheers!

I learned some more things about the game. A few youtubers/influencers have NPCs with their voice in the game and side quests tied to them. Jesse Cox alter-ego has an exploding dick and you have to bring him to a Ripperdoc. I'm sure all the others will be of the same type... You don't have to do all the main quests to finish the game (said by one of the writer). You also don't have to kill anyone. You can build relationship (romance, friendship, animosity) with various NPCs in side/main quests that can influence later quests (probably similar to how TW3 did it). If you commit crimes in front of witness (stealing cars, killing pedestrians, etc) there is a crime system similar to GTA/Saint Rows. btw, any loregod that can explain me why is the surrounding of NC looks so fucked up? did the US west coast get nuked? cheers! Night City is situated in the Morro Bay in California. It's quite desert-like already. Technically a nuclear bomb exploded over the city in 2020 as well, but I think that was retconned for CP 2077.

Technically a nuclear bomb exploded over the city in 2020 as well, but I think that was retconned for CP 2077. It’s still in the story for Cyberpunk Red, which is supposed to be in keeping with 2077. Its used as the explanation for why the layout of the city is different.

Alanah Pearce does a Q&A over her hands-on with the game. Some information not mentioned anywhere else in there: - 1 hour real-time = 8 hours in game (this is pretty long) and skipping time doesn't have loading screen. - Judy (the Braindance tutorial teacher) is a romance option - you have complete control of the camera in the game outside of about 5 instances according to a developer - etc Fuck yeah my waifu Meredith is a romance option just hope she's into female. Also people wondering about Judy seems she migt be a lesbian.

Fuck yeah my waifu Meredith is a romance option just hope she's into female. Also people wondering about Judy seems she migt be a lesbian. Without knowing the options or real character stuff its hard to root for anyone at this point. Sheerly on first visual impressions Judy appeals to me somewhat whereas Meredith doesn't really, so perhaps hoping she's bi not lesbian.

I found the "source" while starting this post, sorta. People are saying only youtubers who played with a female V have confirmed being able to flirt with her (using a tech dialog option?). Saying that, male V might have had the option, it's just that none of those players tried it? I haven't found a preview actually saying it thought, it's all second hand mention. They will have to put lots of romanceable NPCs in if skills enter the preferences equation thought.

Something cool they noted are the apartments, the rooms that you can't enter have parallax applied making it seem 3D, instead of just having all windows closed or putting a flat image of the room.

I don't think it is something you find at your local Ripperdoc. Even Adam Smasher got it from his employer. I think you'll have to sell your soul to Militech/Arasaka to get near that level of metal-over-meat. It's kinda sad that previewers don't seems to have taken notes on the cybernetics available outside "there is a lots of them and some have upgrades".

Well if it means I can get that sweet chrome I might consider selling out to my corporate overlords. I do hope that having high levels of augmentation doesn't automatically mean that my character will suddenly become 'evil' as well. It's a personal gripe of mine how most stories that involve cybernetic augmentation have a stigma surrounding total or near-total cybernetic replacement being seen as losing one's soul. Agreed about the previews, cyberware is a major part of the tabletop so why isn't it getting more coverage?

It might just be that they didn't have much options at Victor's in the first 4 hours of the game. Their "playground" was limited to the Waston district too. But then previewers took really generic notes for the skill/perks too, but that might just be that after counting that Stealth had 29 of them, they just stopped.
