Somebody grew up in the 80s.

I am a child of the 80s (literally) and I really like this style.

 

[Kaldea]

This will be awesome. Love the logo.

 

[squidyj]

Here's to hoping the music is top notch too. Visuals and audio need to go hand in hand as far as quality. It will probably be full of great electronic stuff but I'm hoping for some jazzy Cowboy Bebop'ish stuff like...

The Seatbelts - Road to West

...would def' be during a cinematic portion of the game. Could work amazingly well within' the mood they seem to be trying for.

Jazz, post-jazz, post-rock, electronica, that's what I'd like to see... and then this.

To be honest I'm a little concerned over the title and some of the style it feels like they're going for. I want dimly lit claustrophobic spaces dank with sweat and smoke, blue-green light both cold and soothing at the same time and a city that's both growing and decaying at the same time. I don't feel that from what little we've seen, basically just badass robots and badass guys with badass implants. I hope the image of 'badassery' going on here is just an artifact of the low level of information we have right now because that's a great way to take a lot of life out of a cyberpunk setting IMO.

 

[Red Blaster]

Time to get College to do the soundtrack

[Jarmel]

Let's do this!

Jazz all the way.

 

[Steaks]

License nothing but music from the 80s.

 

[subversus]

let's cut out mobile phones from the game while we're at it. 80s all the way.

 

[brochiller]

This game might force me to finally invest in a high caliber gaming PC.

YES

 

[subversus]

This game might force me to finally invest in a high caliber gaming PC.

or next-gen consoles

 

[Gbraga]

HELL YEAH

 

[scorpscarx]

Looking forward to this game more than anything announced or probably unannounced for the next 5 years I'll say.

CDPR is best dev.

 

[eosos]

This looks awesome. The 80s font reminds me of Daft Punk.

 

[JaseC]

Can't wait for this. I hope the logo remains as-is.

 

[Gbraga]

Are we getting Robot Rock as the theme song?

 

[Velinos]

This looks awesome. Coincidentally my friends and I were talking about getting our Shadowrun tabletop campaign going again the other day. Different universe I know, but still related.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

That last image gives me a Battle Angel Alita vibe - which was pretty cool in its own cyberpunk way.

 

[Lasthope106]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. There is another company I love that does awesome games but when it comes time to release the 3rd one in the series it takes them till the heat-death of the universe. Now CD Projekt is following the same approach.

Gah damit Based CD Projekt! Where is mah Witcher 3!

 

[Salsa]

this is pretty much my dream game

 

[Zabojnik]

Mine too. And Project Eternity. And Star Citizen. Whatever gods I have pleased for all this to happen in the last month, thank you. My faith in PC gaming is restored.

 

[moniker]

As far as I'm concerned, gaming haven't looked this promising in a long time. This, Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, Age of Decadence etc. Party on.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Fuck the 80s. The 80s sucked, the music sucked, the style sucked. Fuck the 80s.

 

[Endo Punk]

License nothing but music from the 80s.

Yeah the music really needs to be classic, nothing modern. That's the cyberpunk way.

this is pretty much my dream game

Right there with ya. Another dream game I would love to see realised is a Heavy Metal inspired Sci-fi fantasy action RPG. And hopefully by a studio equally as talented and passionate as CDP. Not Bathesda!

 

[Gbraga]

Fuck the 80s. The 80s sucked, the music sucked, the style sucked. Fuck the 80s.

 

[Amagon]

This game is what I've been waiting for my whole life.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This College shit is fucking brilliant. It's what I wish the Mass Effect soundtrack was 100% of the time.

 

[Incendiary]

I'm already in. Haven't played the Witcher games yet, but this setting for an RPG? I'm so in I'm out and back in again.

 

[antitrop]

Haven't played the Witcher games yet

Totally worth a run through both of them when you have an extended period of free time!

 

[Anticitizen One]

Omg that logo finally someone understandsssss

 

[Incendiary]

Totally worth a run through both of them when you have an extended period of free time!

They're definitely on my list to play, but I was completely burnt out on the high fantasy RPG setting after spending 80 hours+ in both Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur, and wanted to take a long break so I could appreciate the games better.

 

[bishoptl]

Fuck the 80s. The 80s sucked, the music sucked, the style sucked. Fuck the 80s.

Your newsletter sucks. UNSUBSCRIBE

 

[PastorOfMuppets]

If I could control the industry, I'd place a 47 year moratorium a fantasy settings in video games just so we would see more creative settings like this retro vision of the future.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Your newsletter sucks. UNSUBSCRIBE

Lol, I lived through the 80s. Actually lived, not born in the tail end and it blew. I don't hold some romanticized memory of the era. I hate the 80s, the clothes, the style, the greedy power hungry yuppy attitude, or the disposable music. Simply put, fuck the 80s.

Love cyberpunk, and on the other side of the spectrum, steampunk mind you.

 

[subversus]

sounds like 00s

 

[Mr_Appleby]

Looking good. I have such fond memories of the P&P game, so excited this is happening.

Love cyberpunk, and on the other side of the spectrum, steampunk mind you.

but cyberpunk is a product of the 80's as much as yuppies...

Yes some 80's fashion sucked, corporate attitudes sucked then and now, disposable music existed then, before then, and now, and still generally sucks. Decades, fuck 'em all.

 

[zkylon]

If this game has full on character customization, this is the character I'm going for.

Yeah I was also thinking rolling Makoto :3

 

[GillianSeed79]

Fuck the 80s. The 80s sucked, the music sucked, the style sucked. Fuck the 80s.

Nah son. Nope. I'm hoping CyberPunk sticks with the 80s version of what the future would look like. I want grainy, cumbersome looking video phone chats, flying hover cars, weird street drugs with 80s futuristic names, etc.

 

[Cameron122]

What with this and Star Citizen, 2014-15 is shaping up to be wonderful. Anyone have any good music to share that gives a cyberpunk vibe?

E: doh, just had to scroll up some.

 

[FStop7]

Add cyberpunk to the list of aesthetics I am completely tired of.

THEN YOU SIR ARE MY NEMESIS

 

[xJavonta]

Even though I'm not a fan of The Witcher games, I'm interested in this. Love cyber games and shit of the sort.

 

[Brad Grenz]

Mine too. And Project Eternity. And Star Citizen. Whatever gods I have pleased for all this to happen in the last month, thank you. My faith in PC gaming is restored.

God bless them for not making fans fund their development.

Can't wait. Going to Barnes, any good cyberpunk books or art books I should look for?

Aside from the standard Gibson and Stephenson, I'd highly recommend John Shirley's A Song Called Youth trilogy. The first book, Eclipse, had a huge impact on me.

 

[subversus]

CD Project has already confirmed that they go with clean, more modernized aesthetic. Sorry for crushing expectations.

RPS: So, beyond Cyberpunk proper, are there any other cyberpunk works the team is drawing heavily from in crafting the game world and story?

Iwinski: Well, that’s definitely more of an individual thing, because obviously members of the team have their own experiences. But yeah, William Gibson’s an obvious one, and Blade Runner’s a no-brainer. I actually watched it again on the flight [to E3] just to get a feel for it. Because, you know, sometimes you have [inaccurate] memories. But I was really surprised by how close the movie was to what I had in my head. So that’s truly amazing.

It’s also a bit retro and date, so it’s not exactly like what we want to have in the game. It’s more retro-cyberpunk, and we’re going for more modern cyberpunk. But we won’t be going super far into the future.

 

[FStop7]

What with this and Star Citizen, 2014-15 is shaping up to be wonderful. Anyone have any good music to share that gives a cyberpunk vibe?

Oh, I can do that.

[UnluckyKate]

Makes me wonder if the game will look something of a cross among:

• Prey 2
• Deus Ex: HR
• Dishonored
• Fallout 3
• Metro 2033

Of course then add in their own flavour.

Hard Reset too

And Metro City from Rage

 

[Hindle]

I'm wondering what the battle system is gong to be like, the pen and paper idea sounds cool. Do they have the balls to make it turn based I wonder.

 

[WhyMe6]

This is going to be amazing. The 80s logo style tells me we're going to have awesome Eurotrash stylings throughout. YES!

 

[Sickboy007]

Acid yellow really is the best color.

 

[djtiesto]

I am in love with that logo.

Me too, it reminds me of the 90's sooooo much.

 

[ari]

I AM EXCITE

Can't be real. lol

Is cyberpunk kinda like shadowrun from the snes and Genesis era? Not that shitty xbox version?

If so, why isn't the IP getting true justice then a web browser and a next gen butchering?

 

[atomico]

Yes, you can have my money

 

[scorpscarx]

Oh, I can do that.
