Cyberpunk 2077 - Interview @MCVUK

MCVUK interviewed the devs of Cyberpunk 2077 about moving on from The Witcher and adapting things from pen and paper.

"We've stuck to as much of the original Cyberpunk 2020 as we can, but to keep things enjoyable we've had to change some things to make it adapt well into the video game format. From things like character attributes to guns - a lot of it is taken from the core book. We've added some new ones, of course, but we're staying true to what Mike Pondsmith created. It was really important to us to remain faithful to the original, because we know there's this community of Cyberpunk fans that have been out there since the 1980s. We're not going to be exploiting the franchise, we're not going out there saying 'Hey, this is our game, it's entirely unconnected to whatever it was before.' We're here to enhance Cyberpunk, alongside Mike Pondsmith."

While stepping into an established franchise with pre-existing fans can be intimidating, as Borzymowski notes, it also allows CD Projekt Red to be more open with fans about what to expect.

"Very often I think, not just in games, but in books and movies too, you see promises being made without actually showing anything behind it - and then you're building hype essentially based on just your words.
Even if the product is very good, people might feel let down, and be like 'oh, this isn't what I thought it was going to be.'"

Enter Cyberpunk Red. The latest edition of the pen-and-paper RPG was released in August by R. Talsorian Games, and provides a teaser of what to expect in Cyberpunk 2077. Set in 2045 - the midpoint between Mike Pondsmith's original and the upcoming game. The RPG acts as a 'midquel', bridging the gap between the two titles - directly linking CD Projekt Red's game to the original work.

Given the 32 year gap, there are unlikely to be any direct plot threads linking Cyberpunk Red and 2077, but the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit establishes the game's setting - Night City, and an explanation of the politics of the future, detailing the horrific events known as the fourth corporate war.

Yep and lets hope it's not delayed further. Wouldn't be the first time CDPR did that.

WOW! I just saw the latest female character models ripped from the newest, most popular multiplayer shooters on Pornhub. The rendering quality plus the meshes and textures got really good over the years. I have high hopes for the female 3D game models ripped out of Cyberpunk 2077 making their debut on Pornhub. Way to GO!!

Also if a newly sprung up company makes a press release that they are making New Synth Pleasure Models with the same quality we saw in the amazing Cyberpunk TV Show Altered Carbon - its a Day One Purchase for me! 15 000 000 dollars for one model in the image of your favorite Movie or Game actress, I think, is more than worth the investment. The Synths don't age, are very flexible, they always love you, they cook, and they are very grateful if you treat them kindly with much love and respect. No downtime and the Synth Girls never get sick! They only need battery change every 15 years. But by that time, you can get the Newest Pleasure Model!
The old one goes to Garden Duty!

Get serious. Models will be degraded for Nintendo Switch version so you can still play the game.
As for xxx game remark, stop whining, finally a game did for $ what modders usually do for free (first mod for a game = nude mod).

Altered Carbon is a turd. IMO. Already posted it in TV series thread.
