Something which I still hold hope in is the fact that CP2077 is still so far being classed as an "Role-playing" game (this classification does come from Wikipedia, so take that for what it is), or "Role-playing video game" as the name of the page is, and used to be called "cRPG's".
Now why does this matter? That CP2077 is so far still classified as a "Role-playing" game on Wikipedia? Well... because that particular definition tends to set a game worlds apart from most of the other "RPG" types of games out there.
Most of the games which has been mentioned so far in the last 30+ posts (and many which has not, but which is right around the same corner as them)... games like Witcher, Morrowind, Skyrim, Deus Ex (old as new), Fallout 3/NV/4, Mass Effect, Bloodbourne, Dark Souls, Nioh, Alpha Protocol, Diablo 1/2/3, Final Fantasy XV, and many more... all these games are classified as "Action Role-playing".
And that, "Action Role-playing", is something very different from the "Role-playing" classification of games.
To get an idea... these are some of the games classified as "Role-playing" games: Dragon Age: Origins (2 and Inquisition are under the aRPG classification, which is partly why a lot of us DAO fans are not very fond of them), Fallout 1 and 2, Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Divinity: Original Sin, most Final Fantasy games (with some exceptions), Suikoden, etc.
You see the difference here? One kind relies greatly, or partly (because there is a degree to these things, and other aspect of the game also makes a difference for the classifications), on the players own skill in doing things... the other does not. "Action Role-playing" being the former, and "Role-playing" being the latter.
Now... this does partly stand on some shaky grounds, with the classifications... because "Action Role-playing", and some several other classifications of rgp's as well (Tactical rpg's, Roguelike, etc), are in fact subgenres of the "Role-playing"/"Role-playing video game" genre. Which does suggest that CP2077 could be for example an "Action Role-playing" (or any one of the others to for that matter)... but, it could also mean that the game will still be the standard definition of what an "Role-playing" game is. Because the reason there are subgenres in "Role-playing" is because the games from those other genres of RPG's deviate in some pretty significant ways from the standard "Role-playing" genres definition of such games.
The reason why CP2077 is still classified as an "Role-playing video game", and not one of the subgenres like for example "Action Role-playing", could be many... it could be because it will actually be a "Role-playing", it could be because they have maybe not compleatly decided yet as to exactly what kind of rpg it will be, or it could be that the person/people who wrote the Wiki page for the game just don't know and just picked the main genre name where it would most likelly end up in (due to all of the sub-genres in it, etc), and what ever other reason as well.
So that, and a fair amount of what some of the CDPR main developers and/or leaders have said about what the game
("True rpg", "want to try to stay as close to the original game as possible", "We even want to have an option of printing your character sheet from the game", etc), and the general unknown about the game due to a huge lack of information... is still keeping a fair amount of us on this forum hoping for a game which is not a twitch based type of a game, which is not an action type of rpg... and is more of cRPG type of game, where the characters stats, attributes and skills matter a whole lot more to how things go in the game, rather then the players own "skill" in doing something (like quickly aim at a target and fire on it, befor it fires on you, etc)... but only set in a 1st and/or 3rd person open-world type of a thing.
I would say that this line from Wikipedia is essentualy as much as we know right now:
"Cyberpunk 2077 is a role-playing video game played from either a first-person or third-person perspective."
And that is basicly really vague, it could mean just about anything... it could mean what me and others want with it being more cRPG-like , it could mean that it would be more like aRPG-like as other want, and I guess it could also be even further down the road toward even more twitch based FPS like type of a game (even though the main guy at CDPR, I think it was him atleast, did say some several years ago that it would NOT be a shooter.. a lot of things can change in 4+ years though).
This is after all the only reason that all of us are still now, 4 years after the teaser/call-to-arms trailer was released, debating and arguing over what CP2077
should be, because the information is still so vague at this point that it
could be just about anything within the realm of what an "Role-playing video game" can be. XD
