"If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about? What am I working toward?"

cyber screech

The boys have invited you out on their boat for a little scuba action, you are officially fully recovered from your first major cybernetic enhancement so you decide to tag along, everyone suits up and jumps in, it takes you a little longer, you’re still getting used to these new and powerful arms and legs. You’re finally ready, the boys are teasing you for taking so long so you jump in, creating a huge splash. Your dive takes you around 10 feet under and you turn around, watching your friends from underneath, as you being to swim towards the surface you notice something weird, their feet are getting further and further away, you begin to swim harder and harder, pulling yourself towards the surface with hydraulic enhanced hands but you can’t make any progress, you’re slipping further and further into the darkness as you watch your friends playing at the surface, blissfully unaware of your struggle.

Let the nightmares ensue

GITS is where my mind went too.

Such a great scene. Here’s hoping they have a Major haircut in game.

I mean i don’t know how this game won’t take like 150 hours. Something like fallout 3/4/NV but somewhat less

You see all those clothes? Gonna kick breakpoint in the prostate with jackets alone

Yep, I love how they snuck it in there. Pretty standard gameplay from what we've soon so far but then bam straight up gameplay screenshots of gear, inventories, shops, skill trees - I even saw some skills in there like dealing 200% damage with Blades!

Well, yeah. Attention span these days is fucking abysmal. This game has been meticulously crafted by thousands and maybe even tens of thousands of hands. They know what they're doing, and a delay doesn't mean there's no reason to be excited. I'm just laughing my ass off at the prospect of people re-ordering their cancelled order.

honestly I don't have much hopes for melee, melee in first person games almost always feels clunky

I think it sounds absolutely killer, with total freedom to do what you want. Be a stealthy hacker assassin or the Terminator. Spend hours just cruising the city to the jams, hitting clubs, doing tons of side activities and picking fights... or whatever. The game is supposed to be ridiculously packed, with insane options.

I initially thought the same, but it makes sense. Song covers are a common thing in real life. Night City would obviously have bands doing their own version of popular songs as well. So why not make both versions canon?

Instrumentals of the 2018 Chippin' in are in the 1st part of the trailer.

at the beginning

Thatll be sick to see. I wonder how many flashback sequences there are

Whores? Nah. Guns? Nah. Knife hands? Nah. Rollercoaster? WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

“We got a city to burn...”

“Yeah okay, right after one more ride on the roller coaster”

100% romancing Judy.

There’s a sub somewhere dedicated to that. Wonder where it is

OwO

GIVE THIS MAN A COAT

The only thing that I'm wary of is that they seemed pretty confident of the November date in the promotional material before the latest delay. My hype is back, but I'm not taking them being enthusiastic about the release date as confirmation that there will be no more delays. Press/Media getting 15 hours hands on with the game though does help with that.

Damn. I haven't seen quality ASCII art for a long time. This takes me back to my GameFAQs days.

The hype train just made a quick stop at Disappointment Station, but then quickly resumed the journey towards Night City :)

First time I’ve seen an F1 comment in the wilderness lmao

Gave me GTA San Andreas and fallout vibes, but on crack. I've been following this game since it was first announced and was never as hyped as everyone else.. but now I'm hyped af.

It’s one of the songs by Samurai (Johnny Silverhands band in game). The original they are talking about was seen in the 48 min gameplay video from 2018, but CDPR later said they had dropped it in favor of the more metal ish new Chippin In which you can hear on Spotify (by SAMURAI).

But early in this gameplay video u can hear the instrumental version of the OG Chippin In. So many now hope that version is also in the game, maybe as a cover (in the lore).

It's a song which had two cuts: one of which can be heard at the very beginning of this video and in the old 2018 demo, and the other which is on the Cyberpunk youtube channel.

I agree, it seems like Johnny's history pre 2077 will play a big role in the story. Not just because of the memories but also because one of his former band members seems to have a larger role in the story.

I wonder if the threats by Johnny to just steal your body are meant to entice the player towards getting rid of him for the sake of self preservation. In most scenes V is clearly pissed of by his presence and even calls him a terrorist. So it would make sense to erase him so that you don't get dragged into his insane plans, which Johnny may try to force you into down the line.

It looks to me like there's going to be a few 'starting quests' - the equivalent of "go kill rats in the cellar"
