The Witcher 3 and its expansions are probably my favorite game of all times, and I've been gaming voraciously since the late 80s. The story, the connection to the characters, the feeling of immersion into the world, and the character of Geralt himself are not something I've seen in many other titles. Somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7 in terms of its impact on me as a participant to the experience.
The pressure on that studio to deliver something amazing couldn't be any higher.
It doesn’t have enoigh rain to really feel cyberpunk.
... on a side note, I just realized we’re now as far away from cyberpunk in time as cyberpunk was from the golden age of sci-fi. That also feels wrong somehow.
CDPR the old Blizzard looking forward to this.
I hoped for a better graphics :( The initial trailers were more life-like.
I'm so sad they chose a first-person view. I can't play in first-person view more than 20min without feeling nauseous. I'll have to skip the game just because of my condition… :/
Another first-person shooter. :-(
They spend all that money and time creating worlds, it'd be nice to have another Skyrim or two some day. Set in a cyberpunk world. There aren't enough RPGs made anymore.
Was looking forward to this till I heard it was first person perspective.
Just can't play first person games on console with a controller. Lost all interest in it now.
Unless these myriad of dialog options lead somewhere meaningful, it's not much different from Mass Effect or the even older Knights of the Old Republic and other precursors.
"The trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 strikes me as GTA skinned-over with a generic 80s retro-future, but hey, that's just me." --William Gibson[1]
It's mentioned (and little more) in the article at the end, but it still seems odd to invoke Gibson's name and not talk about this more.
