What if revealing games early isn't for gamers but for shareholders?

Ah so not bigger but more complex, that's even better. But still I'd love to see multiple cities at least, more diversity. Like how Deus Ex HR had different cities.
Either way the world'll be fine. CDPR knows their stuff. The only thing I'm worried about is the FPV as it's something completely new for them and I'd like to see my messed up character rather than not.

Map size ? i don't care
Game systems ? Yes please, I wish the game would be shorter than W3 but have more replay value as in a replay Fallout New Vegas way, with drastic changes in RP, skills & perks, and gameplay

I hope you're right. I can't imagine a cyberpunk game in which I'm ever not in a city. And a city as big as the Witcher 3's world sounds ridiculous even for a cyberpunk megalopolis.
Anyway. This is my most anticipated game ever. Cyberpunk is my favorite subgenre for fiction and I still don't feel like I've gotten a game that scratches the itch yet.

This game is one of my most anticipated, even though it's not going to be here till like 2018.
I wonder if it's going to be more open-ended since it's derived from tabletop.

The idea here is that, potentially, we can have:
We can have our cake and eat it, too, ultimately. We can have gigantic worlds with fantastic mission, gameplay and story variety, too. The Witcher 3 pretty much delivered on this already, imo, but I bet they'll do even better with Cyberpunk.
it could also be map size. I mean, in a a cyberpunk setting you're not riding around on a horse. If you have a car or helicopter type vehicle you could travel around much faster.

Actually sounds bad. The Witcher 3 was just too big.

2077 release date?
Damn, I'll be long dead by then.

I am of no illusion that Cyberpunk will both be bigger and smaller than Witcher 3. It will be smaller in horizontal size of the smallest Witcher 3 region, but will definitely make it up with its vertical size.
In other words, Witcher 3 is considered big due to its large country side regions, while Cyberpunk will be considered larger due to the skyscrapers.

This kind of reveal does not hurt anyone (except gamers).
They didn't promised shit, just showed they have a new, interesting project in the pipeline that will be a sci-fi RPG.
Not a disease IMO. I am happy to know CDP is working on a game that will excite me.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Definitely, I just don't think that's specifically what he's referring to here. Just that Cyberpunk 2077 is a bigger game in production scope and demands, which can mean many things.
One of the reason is actually to hire new developers for the game.
Excellent point. Could be really interesting, though in my experience too much verticality can really confuse the player's experience of the level design.
its too late

Fucking NeoGAF. Only here would you find knee-jerk reactions about how CDPR should focus on packing more content in their huge games, while at the same time their games have too much content.

Edit: Yes, I explored this band after the trailer, and they are actually a really good band.

My immediate thoughts also, but reading this thread reassured me a bit. I'm fine with more complexity and mechanics and.. Whatever. Just don't make it literally bigger than TW3, that game's too long for my taste as it is.
e: Wouldn't mind a bigger story, though. Not longer, but bigger in scope. TW3's is fun too, but I'm not sure if I really care about looking for Ciri that much.
I agree. I don't think they are strictly talking land mass.

Really happy they're going with a more complex universe rather than just a bigger map.
Seriously, we're at a point tech-wise where devs should start building their worlds with systems and AIs in place to create those living, breathing worlds where things happens around you without your involvement. Not just pre-done scripted events and animations but actual behaviors.

I'll outlive you and gloat on your corpse while playing Cyberpunk 2077 with my portable VR experience.

I'm hoping the game has player-created characters, as it'd lend itself to more replays.
While I'll inevitably go through all of W3 again to get all the DLC stuff done, and quests I missed, I'll always be Geralt and always be doing mostly the same stuff in terms of the narrative.
I'd love to see what CDPR can do with a more open narrative than that, which allows for different characters taking very different paths.

The name Cyberpunk to me suggests the game will be set in a large city or perhaps cities.
I doubt there will be an open world the size of the Witcher 3 involved.
I can imagine the threads in the future when game world doesn't turn out to be bigger than The Witcher 3.
So much gnashing of teeth and pre-orders getting cancelled because this article was misinterpreted by some people.
