The CD Projekt Red team sat down with folks from PlayStation to talk about the creative process behind Cyberpunk 2077, including insight about the "silent years" and the stress of last year's E3. "Over the last 5 years, the Cyberpunk team has been crafting an experience they hope exceeds the expectations of fans of both the original franchise and of CDPR's original output."

    I was so excited when I first saw the 1st video last year it was right after I saw the movie ghost in a shell and the new blade runner. I saw this thread and excitement kicked in again so did some research about it and found out it's a single player rpg .... in this day and age at least co-OP is a must I am an avid Destiny 2 player and played the shit out of the 1st Destiny too and main attraction to both was the online part. Single played rpg keep me for a week tops vs co-OP online years.

    I hope they also have a tool kit to make maps with.

    They are thinking of multi- player, a map creating tool kit would help.

    Narrated by Geralt himself - nice touch!

    After this, I'm completely sure that Doug Cockle will make a CP2077 cameo. Some kind of lone bounty hunter called Grey Wolf, driving a car named Roachster RTX with a bumper sticker that reads "I hate portals".

    "The game takes place 50 years after the source material, but also in a parallel universe that allows CDPR to reference and pay homage to the source material but also 'suited the shift to the video game medium.'

    This is a concern, you don't need to change the source material that much to make it a video game. Sounds like they have made major changes to the lore of Cyberpunk. Consider also that the game is set some time in the lore's future which in itself would allow differences. You have to ask why did they need to have a parallel universe? This opens the door to putting anything they want into the game, no matter how contrary to the original books and RPG.

    Just one of two games I looking forward to. The Last of Us 2 is the other one. Just wish ND would give us a launch date.

    I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.

    I just hope we will see (and play) the game soon! I'm waiting for this moment like Hachiko.

    I'll buy it if coop comes out. A friend of mine loves nothing more than Cyberpunk and Warhammer 40k. He is desperate to play some sort of video game with me (between our weekly RPG sessions) but I have yet to get into any Warhammer action game.

    I'd play the shit out of a Cyberpunk coop. It's an extremely hard sell to try and get me to play a single player game.

    You stay sassy!

    This reads like the folks who complain about Game of Thrones TV series not following the books exactly.

    Different medium, different requirements.  Different viewpoints too.  The people doing the heavy lifting get to make the decisions.  At least they have the original author onboard, which is nicer than many others.

    I remember checking out the original Cyperpunk  RPG games and finding the 'losing humanity' aspect of it to be a patently transparent game balancing act.   

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

    The thing is, some creators use that excuse, "different medium, different requirements" to do anything they want.

    It's one thing to take a book where most of it takes place in the mind of the story teller with all sorts of jumps in time and place and make it so that feels like a cohesive experience for a movie or game and another to just add things just because the creator wants to put their personal stamp on the property.

    And on some level it's tough to say what one should and shouldn't do.

    Was the whole Dragon Chase in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" necessary? It certainly made for a more exciting sequence. Did it need the whole gold poured over Smaug routine? Probably not.

    Did they need to add the whole grievance between Thorin Oakenshield and Azog? I understand why they did it so as to make the story have more stakes and make it more exciting. Was it necessary or could it have been done in another way?

    Then again, I have watched some movies where people will say that it wasn't true to the book/lore and yet I found the movie thoroughly enjoyable despite that and probably because I didn't know the lore.

    It's touch to say and I can see merit to both sides of the argument.

    Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the P&P game, has been with them from the start, is still involved and seems to be happy with where they're going with it. That's good enough for me.

    This is not like the Witcher and Sapkowski.
