Cyberpunk 2077

This seems like it could be one of the best games of the new tide of titles arriving in the new generation. Not much has been said about it, other than that it will be a futuristic RPG experience that will realign perceptions of what Cyberpunk is all about (much like Steampunk, a phrase that could anyone off a game). However, it seems to have a lot going for it. The art direction looks fantastic; tinged with a little Blade Runner-esque Asian flavour, and a fairly bold visual style and colour palette that heavily references the neon tones of the 1980's. It's striking and looks fantastic.

The trailer is also causing a bit of a stir, and is a very good watch despite the rubbish soundtrack. I know the last game to make a splash with it's trailer was the fairly weak Dead Rising, but Cyberpunk 2077's developers say it will be out "when it's ready", so we shouldn't be getting anything sloppy and rushed.

Very little has been said about it so far, and estimates for a release seem to suggest mid to late 2014. We'll see where this one goes...

Usually the sort that stands alone at a bar and tries to strike up a dull conversation whilst you're ordering a pint, the sort everyone gives a wide berth lest they have to suffer the dullard!

Finally some information is starting to surface. It seems pleasing that it will be a proper RPG, my favourite! I think CDProjekt have also been quite canny with REDengine, if pitched right it could be a huge winner for them as Witcher 3 looks absolutely stunning, so I could imagine other developers wanting to use that as a platform for their own games.

Still, it's a long way off. Witcher 3 should pass the time nicely though. It looks set to be a real winner, whereas I thought Witcher 2 was pretty crap.

What didn't you like about Witcher 2? I really enjoyed it. I got stuck and other games took my eye but I have downloaded it in the xmas steam sale and wouldn't mind having another crack.

I've summarised it more eloquently in the past, but I didn't like the game because:

1) For a game about a monster hunter, there were very few monsters to hunt.

2) The story pacing was pretty poor, I felt like most of the game was spent wandering around that bloody army camp with nothing to do.

3) The combat mechanics weren't great and the potion brewing mechanic was a chore


I just found it pretty dull. The next one looks like a big step up!

Over a year on, but:

I expect one The Witcher 3 is done and dealt with, things will start to happen apace with Cyberpunk. Don't keep us waiting too long...

It's going to be a long wait but...
