Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer - New CDP Reveal Next Month?

This trailer offers the promised (sort of) first look at Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED's upcoming sci-fi RPG. On a related note, VG247 has word that freezing frames in the trailer reveals text saying CD Projekt RED is "about to reveal" a "project, which is much closer to being completed" than Cyberpunk 2077. "It will also be a fully open-world game with an intense story," the tease goes on to say, before suggesting this is Witcher-related by adding "You can probably guess the game we’re talking about." Apparently "all will be clear" on February 5th. Finally, CD Projekt RED sends along some further details on the game, introducing the concept of "Braindances," which are "digital recordings of a person’s experience." Here's word on the new cinematic trailer:
“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 against 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 going to be a lot of carnage, so 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'. And these guys are exceptional, these guys are crack troops. The fact that they’re proud of that name tells you a bit about their mindset. They wear a badge with their official emblem on their right sleeve, but their left is reserved for their unofficial Psycho Squad emblem. It’s primitively made and the image itself is on the crude side of things. It’s not unlike a badge special force operators might make and wear to distinguish themselves from the ranks of grunts in any theatre of war," says Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED studio.

The creators promise that “Cyberpunk 2077” will be true to the essence of the cyberpunk genre. Players will be thrown into the dark future of the year 2077 and into a world where advanced technologies have become both the salvation and the curse of humanity. A multi-thread, nonlinear story designed for mature players (a CD Projekt RED trademark) will take place in the sprawling metropolis of Night City and its surroundings. Players will have a chance to freely roam the open-world environment and visit places well known from the pen-and-paper RPG “Cyberpunk 2020®”, including a combat zone completely taken over by gangs, the legendary Afterlife joint and the nostalgic Forlorn Hope.

As someone who ignored Cyberpunk 2020 completely the trailer had more of a Ghost in the Shell vibe and that's good. Let's just hope they won't spoil that vibe by putting too many 2020 references in there. (Yes yes, you Cyberpunk 2020 fans can now bash me, I never liked the setting, to me it felt OUTDATED (or disjointed from current times?) even when it came out). And of course you may hope they stick to the source. But as Deus EX and Ghost in the Shell showed, good cyberpunk takes our CURRENT situation and extrapolates believably forward. Even today you could play Deus EX and take the sci-fi out, and you end up with believable fictional events that could happen right now. If you (try) that with Cyberpunk 2020 you get hilarious results. Rockers who are charismatic leaders, for example ;p Full machine races... I mean.. please. Transhumanism is about the PROCESS. It's not proper cyberpunk if you put us too far into it. Then it becomes disjointed and has no impact.

Syndicate tried to do this to some extend as well, but boy did they fuck that up in gameplay, but at least the setting was cool.

Anyway, time will tell whether it was a good idea to take Cyberpunk 2020 as inspiration.. Personally, I would have chosen Ghost in the Shell...
