I'm interested in the game, but fuck announcements of trailers.
I hate it when they make futuristic time so close to our time. 2077 is what, about 64 years from now? Yeah, lazers and space cars in 60 years.

I really don't think the jump will be too much.
Look at Google glass. In 20 years we may all wear stuff like that on our faces.
Imagine ~60 years ago talking to someone in the 1950s and saying to them "Would you believe we'll have space-stations in space within 50 years?". Now it's not Star Wars, but the ISS is still a space station and the first parts were in space well before 2000 I believe.
Not saying we will shoot lasers out our eyes in 60 years from now but technology is still advancing at a rapid and exponential pace.
The funny thing in this statement is: the technological gap from today's standards 60 years from now will probably be far bigger than most cyberpunk settings ever predicted, at least in some fields.I hate it when they make futuristic time so close to our time. 2077 is what, about 64 years from now?

Oh god, not this again.Damn, it's actually called "Cyberpunk?"
Weak...

Also, hasn't scientific and technological progression accelerated in the last 40 or so years with the advent of computers?
While I don't know about flying cars, by 2077, I'm pretty sure, there'll be certain technologies (esp, with all the talk of 3D printing) available for most that we think of infeasible with our current outlook.
They thought we were going to have colonies on the moon and mars by the 1990's.
I think what people get hung up on is the advancements in personal transportation. While no doubt we have mindboggling strides in cars, compare the Ford model T to...hmm say a Bugatti Veyron or something, we still don't have flying cars - probably because we don't need them.
From the beginning of the new honda commerial. Looks like flying vehicles are atleast becoming a thing of tecnology.Also, hasn't scientific and technological progression accelerated in the last 40 or so years with the advent of computers?

My PC is ready.
I just hope its gameplay footage, I really don't understand the appeal of CG trailers.
In terms of being technologically feasible they were "a thing" years ago. If they aren't widely spread among the people is simply because we realized over the years they are neither cost-effective, particularly safe or all that useful.From the beginning of the new honda commerial.

I guess to show off games that are otherwise in an unfinished/polished state. In other words : better than nothing since noone is going to go and use pre-alpha gameplay as commercials/marketing.

Will it be true cyberpunk/sci fi, or just the same ol' mechanics painted over in a 'sci fi' gleam?
Why not wait until the game is in a good shape (~3 months before release, I hope) and start burning that marketing budget then?
I'm sure there's some legit math behind when to market and how much/wide etc but I have no idea why certain games, movies, whatever, are shown/marketed so early.

Word of mouth. When there's almost no chance this game is going to get an american television marketing budget, you have to use every last element of marketing to your advantage. If they can put this out now, get it run on every last gaming website and strike up a buzz, they'll be a good position. You do that every 5 months until release and make a big push with the traditional market 2 weeks before release and 6 weeks after.
I also like gameplay, but this comes up so often, here's a question: What were the last trailers, especially world premier first-ever trailers, that were filled with gameplay and sold you on the game because of that?Couldn't have said it any better.

60 years is so far in the future that any predictions we make now will almost invariably prove incredibly wrong -- likely too ambitious in some respects and far too conservative in many others. If MNT proves possible, the advances will be far greater than any of us can comprehend.I hate it when they make futuristic time so close to our time. 2077 is what, about 64 years from now?

I agree with your sentiment but not for 2077. Now DX:HR (as much as I loved that game), being set in 2025? Yeah, that's pretty goofy, although I realize they were hemmed in by the timeline of the franchise.
Oh god, not this again.
It's not called "generic cyberpunk stuff, durr".
It's named after the CYBERPUNK pen&paper roleplay game.
That's it. Cyberpunk is the actual name of the IP.
