A look at Cyberpunk 2077 for the second time. It might not be that breathtaking | Gamepressure

CD Projekt Red once again invited us to a Cyberpunk 2077 game show. Already knowing what to expect after E3 2019, we went prepared to take a skeptical look at the details and discover various secrets of the game.

If you expect a rockstar game you're going to be disappointed.
Cdpr makes RPGs

SyntheticForm1758d ago

If I got a 'Rockstar' game from CDPR I'd be VERY disappointed.

1758d ago
Vegamyster1758d ago

Same, there open world gameplay/mission design is stuck 10+ years in the past.

roadkillers1758d ago

I'm expecting Dues Ex: HR turned to 11.

UltraNova1758d ago

Exactly my thoughts...and what a glorious ride that will be!

Exvalos1758d ago

I only hope the world is as lively as a gta but I get what you mean by not wanting a gta clone

Crazyglues1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

I'm trying to go in with an open mind and no expectation, so I can just enjoy the game... Like I did with God Of War..

I mean it's god of war so you want epic fight battles but I really had no expectation on the kid and how that would play out, I just went in thinking I hope it's a good game, let's see what they did here... And wow, I so enjoyed that game. Epic Master piece

So with this, I"m not going to have GTA thoughts or expectations on driving or even compare the two, just going in ready to enjoy a good game.
So just hoping it's fun to play and has some good shooting mechanic's, I think it will hit that bar really easy..

I've said this before when you hype a game and it has absolute no gameplay for more than 5 minute action then they are just hyping it up. Remember when all journalist went crazy and when finally 1 hour gamplay came out it showed nothing of gameplay action.

franwex1758d ago

Interestingly enough for me, the not crazy action actually drew me in more than the crazy action. I want more of a slow pace RPG than a call of duty-GTA.

But that’s my personal taste.

CorndogBurglar1758d ago

Interesting. I remember that 45 minutes of gameplay having action in it.

sprinterboy1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

Totally agree, I get the devs have a good track record but we literally haven't seen anything. My hype is in check, at the end of the day I'm playing on base model ps4 like 90% of us will be and it ain't gonna run or look like the footage we've seen.
So my expectations are in check. I'm more looking fwd to replaying these games again on a 2nd playthrough on ps5 with bc along with cp, hzd, days gone, gow, spiderman etc.

Hungryalpaca1757d ago

We’ve seen a 45 minute demo. What you mean we haven’t seen anything?

xX-oldboy-Xx1758d ago

Shallow set pieces do not make a good game, the gameplay looks fine. Its the world that is interesting, attention to detail and so forth.

Fanof301758d ago

Yes it did lmfao. It showed like 22 minutes of straight gameplay. You assaulted a fucking warehouse. Learn your facts.

franwex1758d ago

Well, it’s a new thing so it’s not only risky for developers, but for gamers too. I think it will be more of its own thing rather than a mash of others games as described.
Even if it’s not that great I’m sure I can find some fun with it’s open world-I did with the super dreadful red dead 2.
I preordered the physical edition, not the digital one so if I end up hating it at least I will be able to get some return on the investment. But I trust the developers I’m sure I will enjoy the experience.

Sophisticated_Chap1758d ago

Im interested in this game for its scale, but I actually don't like the trans-humanist aspect. I find it repulsive to be honest.

annoyedgamer1758d ago

You do realise that Cyberpunk is about exploring the moral ramifications of that right? Both the pros and cons.

Sophisticated_Chap1758d ago

Yes, I agree. I just think the whole idea of replacing human body parts with robotic arms/ legs/ brains, is a bit sick. I can understand if it were for medical purposes, for a war veteran who loses a limb in battle, or for a blind person who cannot see, or a deaf person who cannot hear, but to make it fashionable is absolutely disgusting in my opinion.

killswitch801758d ago

ughh Chaps comment made me sick

ITPython1758d ago

Fake news. I find it hilarious that you have to play devil's advocate to get a response like that.

The SJWs are really getting desperate, aren't they?

AngelicIceDiamond1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

Well Cyberpunk story is a future where the SJW's got their way if you think about it, but there's a catch. So you have a billboard of a trans woman which is accepted by most of society in Cyberpunk. (I'm personally fine with that doesn't bother me one single solitary bit btw) Corporations look at that, and then exploit and overly expose what society has accepted. I guess what the SJ dubs have been outraged about equality have been accepted but manipulated into something superfcial rather than something real or organic.

bennissimo1758d ago

Cyberpunk is a world where corporations got their way and elites control unimaginable resources.

xX-oldboy-Xx1758d ago

He may be sophisticated but he isn t very smart.

That's one of the more intriguing aspects of the game, to see how it's handled and to what extent.

goldwyncq1758d ago

That's exactly what Cyberpunk is about. It's like complaining about ice cream having milk.

AngelicIceDiamond1758d ago

You must lose sleep over the growing rate of trans culture in real life. Cyber Punk is just telling a future esque story of, not just trans culture, but all growing cultures. Weather its sexualized culture or race and creed and its exploitation. In the future I can easily see corporations exploiting trans or pansexual culture as they have in heterosexuality for lol ages...and ages. In fact its already starting now with dating apps on a small scale. The way things are going now of superficiality with trends and fashion, the latest devices, selling products that are meaningless but their job is to sell you on it making it seem meaningful.

Sophisticated_Chap1758d ago

I was refering to trans-humanism, not transsexuality, two completely different subjects.

Fluttershy771758d ago

Very well enunciated, the trans-humanist aspect is at the very least concerning... wtf are you talking about?

NoneYuh1758d ago

I find your close mindedness repulsive. Piss off.

frostypants1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

So...you hate the cyberpunk genre. That's literally what it is.

DarXyde1758d ago

It's not for everyone (honestly, no game is). I would imagine that this is a pretty pertinent aspect of the game.

I'm sure we'll know more with time, but it sounds like you should skip on this one.

Dragonscale1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

They are only exploring the idea of it, its not reality (yet). If it offends you so much don't buy it.

shaun mcwayne1758d ago

I think of it as a parody of want people are like today. Mobile phones are the start of cyberpunk mods, everyone I know has a screen implanted in there left hand, that has the answer to most questions, a wealth of knowledge. its like having jarvis with you, without the posh voice, I just do the voice in my head when I browse, if these mods did happen, people would feel like they need to get mods or implants, just to keep up with everyone else, like having the new iPhone xxx. Also think of the job market, going to an interview for a job as a postman against a guy with robot legs.

OneLove1758d ago

Lol you must be old. Stuck in them old ways.

shaun mcwayne1757d ago

Lol im as old as breakout i came out the same day.

Sidewinder-1757d ago

Ahh Mr Rees Mogg. I lolled. haha

raWfodog1758d ago

Never hype up a game in your mind and you won't be disappointed when its simply a good game. If its even better than 'good' then that's just gravy on top.

sprinterboy1758d ago

Easier said than done though.

xX-oldboy-Xx1758d ago

I actually enjoy the hype, I'm currently hyping Death Stranding, CYBERPUNK 2077, TLOU2 and PS5. I'm a realist, if games don't meet that hype - it ain't the end of the world.

I work shitty hrs and need something to keep me going - gaming and overseas holidays are my thing.

wwinterj1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

Nothing wrong with looking forward to a game or any other form of media but in general I agree with this. Some folk have so much hype and unrealistic expectations that they are bound to find things disappointing.

@xX-oldboy-Xx You're however creating expectations for those games to live up to. I'd much rather look forward to games, play them and then judge them with next to no expectations going in other than "this interests me".

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv724d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii4d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast4d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM4d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife4d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit3d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife3d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

https://rebel-wolves.com/

just_looken16d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror16d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC16d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken16d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.

Cyberpunk 2077's Sequel Should Bite the Bullet on an Industry Trend

Cyberpunk 2077's launch resulted in a loss of goodwill with gamers, but there is a way to earn it back with the upcoming sequel.

They will need to add everything they promised in the first one and not over promise on the second one.

just_looken16d ago

They also need to drop esg then hire employees that have knowledge not hire them because they have a set of tits.

Official video they hired people to fill the esg clipboard

Hofstaderman16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

As somebody who has been playing the tabletop games since the 90s and was let down on launch by my PS4 version, you can bet I'm not going the preorder any sequel.

nmbr1esq16d ago

3rd person option, and everything else that was originally promised. Next don't force agenda driven naratives. Finally, release a finished product without need for day one patches.
