CD Projekt Red has been making games for sixteen years now and there are three Witcher RPGs in their portfolio (excluding Gwent for the moment, since it’s a card game), in which we always watched our protagonist from the third person perspective. That’s why we could safely assume that the Warsaw-based studio will keep that feature in their upcoming title, Cyberpunk 2077. As we unofficialy found out, this time the thing will be completely different and the game will actually be a FPP game with elements characteristic for role-playing games.

If the abovementioned information turns out to be true, we’re in for a serious treat. Cyberpunk 2077 in a first-perspon perspective would be a direct competition to games like System Shock , Prey, and most of all – Deus Ex that always bathed deeply in cyberpunk. Looking back at CD Projekt Red’s gamedev achievements, we don’t suspect the game to be a regular shooter, but rather an action game full of RPG elements that will offer the players many ways of solving problems; basically, it should be closer to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided than BioShock .

For me it was another wasteland open world like RDR and BOTW.

If they can produce a living, breathing virtual Blade Runner-esque city then I can't wait.

Riding a horse through empty fields, driving a car through empty desert, I despise that.

I really want this to have tightly packed skyscrapers with the lower level full of stores, brothels and drug dens.

If you're referring to RDR and Mad Max then having them crammed with hugely populated cities and whatnot wouldn't have made sense.

Gemini73 wrote:Sure, absolutely. The somewhat overcrowded cities in TW3 were superb and to see that kind of detail magnified in a Blade Runner-esque vision would be excellent. However, I do like the lonely, somewhat sombre mood of Mad Max and RDR's open wastelands. Very atmospheric, but in a different way.

Green Gecko wrote:The overpopulation part of cyberpunk is true but so is the parallel of wasteland because the idea is population massively expands in urban centres to the point that life outside of the nexus is no longer viable. You also have the wartorn cities and failed projects. Appleseed is a good example of that and some of the wider landscapes of suburbia and facilities in Ghost in the Shell SAC that are really quite ordinary and barren.
