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

We already saw a bit of the new Cyberpunk style in the few art pieces shown so far. I'd say they made a fair compromise between old and new.

And BIG thanks to whoever suggested College for the soundtrack. I knew nothing about him (David Grellier) before this thread and now I'm addicted.

Edit: As reviled as it was, I always thought that Billy Idol's Cyberpunk had a few tracks that would fit fantastically in the stereotypical dystopian, dinky back alley bar.

take all my monies

 

[Despera]

Why the fuck can't I stop watching that logo vid over and over again?

 

[ChosenPredator]

this will be a great idea of a "what if" they ever made a shadowrun game with a big budget

The brand is sullied and it will take a few years before they can do something meaningful with it.

I very much prefer Cyberpunk anyway.

 

[cilonen]

This... this could become my game of the forever.

So looking forward to this.

 

[krishian]

I am now imagining a future in which we get this, Witcher 3 and the next Souls/Kings Field game, all within one year of eachother. I'm so screwed, there's no way I can handle the wait...

 

[MollyMillions]

I am, as you might guess, hugely excited for this. I feel like it's been mentioned somewhere that it will be 3rd person a la Witcher 2, right? The only thing that could kill my enthusiasm would be finding out it's a floating hand first person game.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Time to get College to do the soundtrack

I think Danger would be my personal pick

[indigo-cyclops]

Oh, I can do that.


Front Line Assembly - Complexity

Front 242 - Stratoscape

Velvet Acid Christ - Crypulse

Hive - Moves Within Time (1st, 2nd, 3rd Movements) - skip to 7:00 to get to the third movement

Front 242 - Headhunter

Always love seeing Download linked.

 

[dark_prinny]

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

 

[Seance]

My penis exploded.

I'm penisless.

Here, you can have mine, I won't need it once I get this game.

Witcher 2 was a great game and all, but am I missing something here?

 

[Sentenza]

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.

I'd love it, but there's not a chance in hell.

 

[bitoriginal]

Holy shit, this game looks like a dream come true.

 

[John Rabbit]

i'm telling you doofuses, you need a steve moore type for this soundtrack. especially if they're going the "clean modernized" style of cyberpunk.

steve moore - saturnalia
steve moore - cepheid (i mean LISTEN to this!)
lovelock - deco delight
hologram - skyrunner

geez, just get solar fields (of mirror's edge fame) to do something, or anyone on the ultimae label. it's all spacey future sounds.

solar fields - sol
aes dana - digitalys

syndicate went too hard and generic on it's music, deus ex was ambient and unintrusive almost to the point of boredom.

 

[Dice]

I approve. I approve so much.

Nice choices. I bought that Hologram single when it came out, great track.

Nope.

The soundtrack should be done by Soft Cell. Do something a little different from Blade Runner music for once.

 

[epmode]

deus ex was ambient and unintrusive almost to the point of boredom.

Agreed. I really miss more pronounced themes in big games. Everything has gone all ambient over the last ~10 years.

I still like Human Revolution's soundtrack but it definitely doesn't compare to the first game.

 

[kami_sama]

Hell yes! I want solar fields for the game!

This is just PERFECT.

How about...

More "electro-popish" but I think I'll fit.

 

[John Rabbit]

Do something a little different from Blade Runner music for once.

there has not been a game soundtrack on par with vangelis' score, ever. the first mass effect came close on a couple of passages but overall not even close. until such a thing happens, i see no reason to stop reaching for it.

if anything, the hologram track is the only one that attempts to specifically go for the "vangelis" sound. steve moore's work comes from a similar place, but it's far more rooted in late 70s/early 80s prog rock, horror movie soundtracks and the bumper music for sci-fi television.

if i had to pick a more modern film composer who's already proven themselves in the genre of science-fiction scoring, i'd go with eric serra.

 

[Endo Punk]

Why the fuck can't I stop watching that logo vid over and over again?

Its hooked into my veins it's so good.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

solar fields - sol

Solar Fields WOULD be a fantastic pick for this.

 

[i-Lo]

Something tells me Daft Punk would be a brilliant fit for composing music for games like these.

I mean even now:

Solar Sailer

Sea of Stimulation

Derezzed

The game has changed

Son of Flynn

ring true in my ear.

And then you've other awesome stuff like this that would feel right at home with Cyberpunk

Kuedo- Ant City (Blade Runner vibe, one of my favs)

Kuedo- Flight Path

Trifonic Parks on Fire

 

[ezekial45]

Do we still have any idea of how this game will play? Is it like a cross between The Witcher 2 and Deus Ex?

 

[Zaptruder]

I love that this will be out after we get good VR.

So we can have the meta action of been in a 2014 VR world, jacking into an 80s VR world with a 2014 interpretation of a 1980s interpretation of a 2077 VR vizor, with our 2014 VR vizor.

Also, I was watching Black Rain... 1989 movie set in Osaka. 1980s Japan is such pure cyberpunk. Glorious stuff.

 

[Agent Ironside]

KAVINSKY!

Also, Witcher 2 tech team + Night + City lights + 80's Electronic = GJRGJRG$h#%BFBNFSF

 

[Anticitizen One]

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.

I think your confusing the 80s with the BUSH years

Awesome tracks, would fit in with what I hope this game turns out to be.

KAVINSKY!

Kavinsky would be amazing.

 

[iavi]

I think Danger would be my personal pick

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy4qL6xGWrk

My man. Danger would be an amazing pick.

^Kavinsky too. Pretty much any of those psuedo80's noir house artists.

 

[MattDoza]

That logo is so damn awesome.

Has anyone used it to make a wallpaper? If so, please share!

EDIT: Never mind, there's totally wallpapers on the official site!

 

[alphaNoid]

So many people are probably excited about this but have never played a Witcher game, for shame.

Hmm, a comment on the PC Gamer news article

- While Daft Punk is an amazing band and appreciate that you are all excited for a futuristic game with a group that has done futuristic themed music and a soundtrack to a future based movie; but...
I am composing the music; I hope you enjoyed the teaser theme; I thought the analog synthesizers mixed with modern VST's would suite the game world; expect ambient punchy music with lots of arps, and glitch "bleeps" usually square and sawtooth waves; along with beautiful melodic futuristic symphonies in which use all of the futuristic elements I described along with slight distorted guitar and bass; and LOTS of Mellotron strings and Mellotron Choir to wash away quietly in the back round.
I am just glad they did not wan't to go the Dub-Step route due to popularity; we even clarified NO WOBBLE BASS as a major part of the game; we want it to Stand the TEST of TIME not buy into any fads.
Although I believe I can reveal that I am working on 4 of the songs together with some brilliant minds... I believe the only one I can say is.. well I'll just give the hints "Royk" and "Melody AM". also, I'd like to add that MAYBE a member of "D P A U F N T K" will contribute on one of these songs.

[JDSN]

Im hoping for a synthpop soundtrack.

 

[Despera]

Hmm, a comment on the PC Gamer news article

Royksopp, eh?

If that comment is true, then I'm glad that multiple composers are working on the game. It's been proven time and time again to work wonders.

 

[Agent Ironside]

Kavinsky would be amazing.

Com Truise wouldn't be half bad either.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOhpjcvtyVE

well I'll just give the hints "Royk" and "Melody AM"

 

[Dascu]

This has the potential to become one of my favourite games of all time.

 

[Fjordson]

Hmm, a comment on the PC Gamer news article

Nice. It was only a small tidbit, but I really liked the teaser music. Has the right vibe to it I think.

Also, if anyone else is as addicted to 80's style synth music as I am and you need something new to listen to, just hit up bandcamp. There's some throwaway stuff on there, but there's also a surprising amount of really good stuff on there as well. Listening to this one at the moment.

 

[zkylon]

DPAU FNTK is in? Game of the forever confirmed.

 

[Perkel]

Man i love this music in teaser.

wow didn't expect composer to post in comments. But damn that music even this short clip is amazing.

 

[Rei_Toei]

All this foam at my mouth, such a pleasant sensation

 

[wazoo]

I am not sure there has has been much PC-only games giving their chances to the cyberpunk concept for a long time.

I mean deus ex and system shock 2 were in the 90s. Of course Blade Runner was a great point and click. So was Beneath a steel sky.

Even on the console side, Snatcher and Policenauts are missing.

 

[Rei_Toei]

Ooh, Beneath a Steel Sky - is getting a remake, right? Now, if Kojima/Konami somehow would get interested in Snatcher - but alas, probably never going to happen. Same with Illusion City, another great cyberpunk game from the same era.

As a note for PC Gamer to add; The Games sound-track is also going to be a retail album under either my name or my main project/band's name (still undecided) followed by the album title "Cyberpunk 2077" ideas are thrown around to add a sticker on the plastic "In Technicolor" for those with Synesthesia, something I have - finding I rather amusing that way.

Damn, looks like he will colaborate with other people.

"D P A U F N T K"

DAFT PUNK , it would be fucking amazing.

 

[Fjordson]

That soundtrack is going to be boss.

Man, I'm so anxious for some footage or even just some screens. Did they mention during the conference how far off this is? I have a feeling it's at least a year or two =[

 

[Kyaw]

Hype is at 11.

Having Daft Punk on board the soundtrack would be AMAZING.

I really hope they release a trailer or some kind of footage soon enough.
