[gabbo]

Well I'm hyped.

 

[LiquidSword]

Well, they said that if you go too cyber you go insane. They go back in time after the title to show that she was a part of the Psycho Squad before going insane and they have to stop her.

She had the mark from the bullet on her face though so I don't see how that makes sense.

 

[diamount]

Another worthless CG trailer.

But still, I will get this on my 720.

It isn't worthless, you miss the point of these trailers. It's supposed to set the narrative, show off areas that will be in the game and introduce characters. I fucking loved it.. the music went so well what was going on.

 

[subversus]

Two years away? Hurgh. Why even announce it or show anything?

CD Projekt have troubles in convincing people to move to Warsaw.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Well you have my attention CDPR

 

[i-Lo]

Well, they said that if you go too cyber you go insane. They go back in time after the title to show that she was a part of the Psycho Squad before going insane and they have to stop her.



The pen&paper Cyberpunk is like the father of these visuals but its the same when people complained that John Woo's Stranglehold copied the bullet time from Max Payne

That would have made sense if she did not have the scrape marks received from the bullet in a scene from the past.

I think the Psycho squad recruits these Psychos for rehab/reprogram and then integrate them into their own squad.

 

[Klendathu Club Owner]

Man, what an utterly terrible song for the trailer of a cyberpunk game...

Hey guys. I think that girl is a robot.

And all she wants is a normal life but society won't allow it!

 

[KillerTravis]

This trailer made me want an Akira inspired game as well, maybe called Neo-Tokyo or something.

 

[Eideka]

I wonder who is this chick we see in the trailer as well as in artworks.

 

[Lafiel]

Looks awesome - I wonder if it's going be a party-based rpg where you control multiple officers of that police squad at once. In fact I think it's pretty likely they'll take the gameplay in that direction, considering they already have a pretty good single-hero rpg with The Witcher.

 

[diamount]

She had the mark from the bullet on her face though so I don't see how that makes sense.

I don't think that was a mark, you could see it change so it's some kind of shield. Obviously the extended trailer will be her slaughtering those cops.

 

[Nibel]

Is it weird of me thinking that this isn't solely CGI but uses assets that kinda look like they cooooould be ingame?

You know? I think that you might be right.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Track is alright, seemed appropriate enough. CG was very nice. Atmosphere felt right to me. Much longer than I expected.

That message at the end is pure gold. Fairly pleased, honestly.

 

[Dennis]

What I fear now is that by far the most interesting of the characters here - the cybered-up chick - is just eye candy for the trailer and in the actual game we are going to get some generic 30 something brown-haired male.

I want at least one of the playable characters to be this woman.

 

[DocSeuss]

Here you go.

Psychological torture.

 

[Messofanego]

Archive - "Bullets" is the music.

"Oh - and you may wonder why we announced our game so early before the release. The reason is that we're still building our dev team."

 

[ironcreed]

Weird trailer, but still intriguing. Getting Blade Runner and Terminator sort of vibes.

 

[Grisby]

Didn't really do much for me. Most of it wasn't too exciting or visually appealing from an aesthetic standpoint. The goggles look ridiculous.

I'm all for more cyberpunk games though. Be neat to see a gameplay trailer.

You'll be able to make your own character according to what they said. So robot chick will probably be a possibility.

 

[Sickboy007]

I like this braindance thing but it was used a lot before, just not as a centerpiece of the story. Mona Lisa was doing this in Mona Lisa Overdrive. Some other books/movies too, I just can't recall them now.

Strange Days

 

[Espada]

Damn, that was a stylish trailer. Really awesome CGI, and I thought the song worked well with the footage.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Man, what an utterly terrible song for the trailer of a cyberpunk game...

until she meets one human man who accepts her for what she is

 

[Dance Inferno]

This trailer has really got me hyped and makes me want to finish my Witcher 2 game. It seems like they're going to announce an open-world Witcher 3 on February 5 as well so that should be pretty hot.

But yeah, sci-fi is what I live for, so this will be much anticipated. I'm not crazy about open-world games but I'll give CDPR a shot to show me what they've got.

 

[diamount]

I don't think so.. description says you'll be playing a guy, I guess you can change what he looks like though unlike Geralt.

 

[Sojgat]

Not only one but dudebros won't understand why it fits perfectly

Yup yup. You kind of have to have an artistic mind to be able to place the song with the trailer and it make sense. ; )

9_9

Thought the music itself was great, vocals are what throw the whole thing off.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Visually, very cool. But that music once the lyrics kicked in was just...bad. I'm sorry but what was that? Hope that isn't indicative of the soundtrack.

Regardless, I'm fucking pumped up.

 

[UrbanRats]

The Police force design was generic and uninspired.
Scantily clad female killer robot was pretty clichéd
Music choice was terrible. Dumb lyrics that match the images displayed.

I agree on the Police forces, but the lady is supposed to be, since the game is called "Cyberpunk", it treads all the various tropes of the genre.

 

[squidyj]

Okay so the chick with the blade arms is working with the guy who had the gun to the back of her head who is supposed to be a cop but the cops are still throwing their bullets his way even when he's there?

I don't get it.

 

[Persona86]

until she meets one human man who accepts her for what she is

I think she's human with implants.

Edit: not the boob kind.

 

[Tomat]

I liked it! The trailer felt like it was put out solely to reaffirm that CDP knows their shit and do their research. Looks like they've got the world down just right.

Didn't like the music though.

 

[patapuf]

until she meets one human man who accepts her for what she is

descrition of the video

The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member.

The Psycho Squad specializes in combating "psychos" -- individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body.

There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call "meatbags."

When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There's carnage, and the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they're not always able to get the job done.

When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the Psycho Squad.

 

[diamount]

Visually, very cool. But that music once the lyrics kicked in was just...bad. I'm sorry but what was that? Hope that isn't indicative of the soundtrack.

Regardless, I'm fucking pumped up.

When is trailer music ever apart of the OST?

My exact sentiments.

The quote in the OP about the plot is interesting. This sounds like it shares a lot of plot devices with that Capcom published Remember Me game.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet this storyline works better.

 

[blindrocket]

That song was annoying as hell. I liked the look of the trailer though, even though it was CGI. OR WAS IT?

 

[rosaceadude2112]

people like cyberpunk because of its certain style. They expect this style. It's like saying that Mass Effect style is ugly because it's just a space opera. But people loved it because it was a properly executed space opera (in art style).

It's more like saying all fantasy games should stick to orcs and elves crap because that's what people like and expect. It can still be cyberpunk without looking like 99% of the genre.

 

[- J - D -]

GitS cover vibes. The whole genre is iterative anyway.

You can create your character.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Totally teh real timez in game render!

lmao

 

[Lakitu]

The trailer looks nice, nice to see some of the aesthetics and the city itself. It looks good.

The music however, is not. It's just personal preference but the song is horrible and doesn't fit at all. Next time I watch it, I'm going to mute it.

 

[KillerTravis]

Here you go.

I love the music made for that, but it's still just a shooter based on Half-Life.

 

[RedAssedApe]

underwhelmed. could do without the music even if some of you claim it fits

 

[Ezio]

Might've been said x10 but. The Witcher 3 announcement Feb 5th? I'll take it.

 

[Omikron]

I was impressed. Including the music choice.

 

[Gravijah]

Strange Days

But we need proper braindance.

 

[Kimaka]

Pretty trailer but can't get hyped until they release more information about the game.

 

[UrbanRats]

It's more like saying all fantasy games should stick to orcs and elves crap because that's what people like and expect. It can still be cyberpunk without looking like 99% of the genre.

They should, if they call their game with the title of the genre (also coming from a tabletop that includes every Cyberpunk trope in the book).

 

[The Tofunator]

She had the mark from the bullet on her face though so I don't see how that makes sense.

From the trailer description ("The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member.") it seems like the first part is her acquisition by Psycho Squad, and her appearance after the logo is showing her as a new member of the squad (given the bullet mark and her shaved head).

 

[base shagohod]

Not only one but dudebros won't understand why it fits perfectly

I get what you're trying to say but can we not do this?

I think she's human with implants.

Edit: not the boob kind.

hahah

 

[EteRnal PAL]

Oh man, that was pure awesomeness. This trailer makes me giddy all over.
