*sigh*

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who can't stand the anime style of animation. And most animated properties that I would be interested in are using anime, which instantly turn me off, and I never actually get to enjoy them.

I'm in general agreement with that sentiment but I think story has a lot to do with it too. Most Japanese anime/manga leaves me going, 'Ruh?' but some stuff like Akira, Ghost in the Machine - and Battle of the Planets when I was a kid - is really amazing stuff.

For a modernized version of Heavy Metal, aka Western made, adult oriented animation, check out the series Love Death and Robots(or something close to that) on Netflix. Some very good animation and storytelling there, some from Blur studios notably, but almost all the episodes were great.

LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS
Thanks for the recommendation.

Yes awesome series. David Fincher produced.

I didn't think much of this trailer, actually--it looks like a Saturday-morning cartoon (which I outgrew many decades back),

Yeah this looks just like Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny.

A lot of hype but, I'm hoping it will live up to it.
Last time I felt this keen about a game was....... errr Fallout 4.

Cyberpunk 2077, FPRPG, I'm down with their perspective choice.

The gameplay videos look great, whenever they get around to releasing it I'll be tempted to buy day one, although the other urge is always there to wait for DLC and patches for huge single player games like this, for me.

CDPR: 2080ti 1080p60

Me with 1060: #Make720p30GreatAgain?

As far as Cyberpunk 2077 anime, sure I'll check it out, why not?

Oh, yeah, watched most of that, but never finished. Need to watch the rest. Thx for reminder.

It looks good. I can't help but be slightly less hyped just because it's an FPS. I've got so many damn FPS, played so many FPS, it's like, in the end, just how much more can they do to wow? I'm sure they'll be plenty of details and cool things to do but sometimes I wonder if we're reaching the limit of how exciting an FPS can be? I'm not sure.

Call me bitter but I'm hoping for a Witcher 4 next, lol. In all of it's 3rd person glory.

I'm right there with you...;) I'm already missing Geralt a bunch--on my 4th? play through of W3. I didn't think much of this trailer, actually--it looks like a Saturday-morning cartoon (which I outgrew many decades back), only the language seems artificial--it just tries too hard--words like f***, especially, have become a cliché' these days. Instead of "hard-hitting"--overuse of the word just seems forced--almost a gimmick. Put there for ...what? Anyway, doubtless there is a lot more to this game than bangs, screams, bright colors, loud noises, etc.--an endless kaleidoscopic panorama of running and gunning insanity. I certainly hope so...)

Never much liked reflex-tests, lots of loud noises, shooting galleries, and so on. I love a good and deep RPG, however! I was hoping that is what this might be if played a certain way. Let's hope so. Odd--this is the first trailer for the game I can say I didn't much care for!

I read a blurb the other day (Blues?) that CDPR stated in an investors meeting that they already had a team to get started on a new Geralt game after this one ships! Sounds good! Fingers crossed.

I could not be any less underwhelmed by a Cyberpunk 2077 anime.

The game trailer doesn't really show off anything new that wasn't either show previously or could be inferred from previous trailers.

Well at least they seem to have solved that awfully blurry look. Guess they were using DLSS 1 earlier and have now moved on to version 2.

So a cartoon series based on the game or Pondsmith's 2020?!?! Yes, I see it says the game's setting, but the setting is Pondsmith's work.

I wonder if the anime will be anything like Heavy Metal.
