CyberPunk 2077 the New RPG from CD Projekt RED

in gaming •  6 years ago  (edited)

The first details about the gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077, from CD Projekt RED, emerged. What stands out most is that, unlike The Witcher 3, this game will be a first person RPG. The news came during a gameplay demo that was shown behind closed doors during E3 2018. 

  • CD Projekt describes the game as a "first-person RPG."
  • Gameplay is in first a first-person perspective, third-person during cutscenes.
  • You play a character named V (as in the letter).
  • V can be a man or a woman.
  • The stats you pick at the start include Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Reflexes, Tech, and Cool.
  • These stats are all pulled from the original tabletop RPG.
  • There are no classes at the start. Instead, you evolve the class you want to be as you play instead of picking a role.
  • Your apartment is a set place that fills with all of the clothes and weapons you get, though you don't have to go there to swap.
  • You'll be able to get more and different apartments throughout the game.
  • You can drive cars in the game, and seemingly toggle between first and third person during this.
  • While driving in first-person, the U.I. appears diegetically on the windshield.
  • You can engage in combat while driving -- AI took over steering as you lean out the window and shoot at enemies.
  • CD Projekt also described Cyberpunk as a "mature experience intended for mature audiences."
  • The goal is for you to not only engage with the game world, but with its inhabitants.
  • Like Witcher, you take missions from NPCs and have dialogue options in conversations.
  • It's an open world that you open up more with "street cred." For example, a specific jacket might raise it by 5%, allowing you access to new places.
  • Completing a quest levels up your street cred.
  • The UI in the demo is extremely minimal at -- just a light compass and a small quest log.
  • UI expands during combat -- enemies have names, health bars, and what appear to be levels.
  • Some enemies have question marks instead of levels, possibly meaning they're much higher level than you.
  • Damage numbers pop up during combat.
  • There's a bullet-time-like ability that allows you to slow down time.
  • CD Projekt keeps emphasizing that choices have consequences, in the moment and to the world at large.
  • Obstacles have several solutions depending on your skills. For example, V got to a door, but his hacking skill was too low. However, his engineering skill was high enough, so he could open a panel and bypass the door.
  • There's an inspection system lets you look super close at items and learn more about lore.
  • You use an inhaler to heal.
  • Gunplay feels slower than Doom or Borderlands, but faster than Fallout 4.
  • CD Projekt showed off some late-game abilities, including mantis-like blade arms and wall running.
  • Boss fight against a dude in an exoskeleton. This included sliding under cars and taking cover.

I'm fine with it being a first person shooter, honestly. If you're gonna do first person shooting, just do it well. I'm looking at you fallout 3 and 4.
