Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Preview Trailer

Following the cinematic trailer and a behind closed doors presentation at E3 and Gamescom, Projekt Red’s next game, Cyberpunk 2077, has skyrocketed in popularity. The release of the 48 Minute gameplay trailer does not disappoint either. What more could a fanboy and fangirl ask for?  It has Nudity, Action, Story, and best of all next-gen graphics!  Projekt Red is taking gaming to a whole new level with the artistry of this game and in-depth character creator.

Cyberpunk 2077 has players driving and walking around a sci-fi city – a sprawling metropolis stuffed with people to talk to, missions to complete, and dirty secrets to uncover.  Many games already exist like this, ::cough:: GTA ::cough:: but Cyberpunk tries to enhance not only the interactions but also the feel of the game.  It’s easy to imagine the game will come out in 2020, but Projekt Red received sizeable funding from the Polish government in 2016 to work on tech advancements for triple-A games.  Hopefully allowing the game release to be sooner rather than later.  Cyberpunk 2077 is playable from start to finish at CD Projekt Red as a keynote to take away. Ultimately the game is just going through polishing and troubleshooting, to make the game shine further.  

Who Will You Play In Cyberpunk 2077

In Cyberpunk 2077, you play as a mercenary called V. It’s up to you whether V is a man or a woman, and you can completely alter their appearance.  You are free to shape your character’s backstory.  Choosing different options will affect people in the world and how they react to this choice with varying dialogue. The range of customizations shown may surpass Mass Effect fantastic character customization options for characters.  It is set to be a first person shooter to immerse you in the full scale of the virtual world, Night City, and feel directly connected in grime and corruption built into the game. 

Your V in Cyberpunk 2077 is extremely violent. Gunfire from various guns that will blow chunks off bodies. A katana to dismember and slice people up. Did I mention the advanced weapon class that lets you shoots through cover or even people?  Combat stims are amazing as well. Equipped with an inhaler you can huff mid-battle and get enhanced speed and ultra senses far beyond your enemies capabilities.  Choices are a huge aspect of gameplay as you progress through Cyberpunk 2077. Missions and interactions are all affected in multiple ways. 

How Do You Get Around The Cyberpunk 2077

Navigate the City on foot, in futuristic cars and bikes. Flying cars will be non-drivable, working more like a passenger mode than full control. So don't expect that you will be flying through the city anytime soon. The game will allow you to switch to a third-person viewpoint for these vehicles. Even will that small hiccup, gameplay will be seamless with no loading screens which feels very much like Grand Theft Auto.  The city is a futuristic metropolis with huge city blocks, winding highways, new york style back alleys and of course neon lights. Be aware this is a transhuman city where augmentations and body enhancements are a norm. Increased physical attributes, boosted mental power, abilities, and cosmetic enhancements run rampant.

It’s a dense urban hub that is in an open world environment allowing you to explore inside buildings and around in unprecedented detail. Each section of the city's split into districts with their personalities and traits. Not all parts of the city will be safe depending on your character customization.  V can rent apartments in the town as well allowing you to get a rest from the action before heading out again to explore more of the city.  You will also be able to enhance your self around the world with Ripper docs who are surgical and mechanical experts. Allowing you V character to improve your body with new tech.

Cyberpunk 2077 Class System

Will Cyberpunk 2077 Be Worth Buying?

The game will not be for everyone, but that does not mean you should not at least try it out at first.  There is a little something for everyone in this game, even if you don't care too much for many of the Mature themes throughout the game.  Between stealth, a possible multiplayer mode, fantastic story line, and lore that will surely skyrocket the game to fame when it releases.  I think even the most skeptical of gamers should at least demo the game for a few hours before dismissing it entirely.  For the rest of us, it will be a must buy, and why not?  Graphics, Story, Action, Intense Gun Fights, and so much more to keep you intrigued.  If you have not pre-ordered the game yet do it now!
