Very Excited for This, Please take all the time you need to make this dream happen guys!
I do have a few questions for curiosity's sakes (and I know in game development things change a lot so its not like I'm taking every word as written in stone)
1- Firstly, I love that Witcher series was a fully mature game, but I know W3 had to change some sex scenes to appeal more to the 'M' Rating rather than go for the 'A' rating as Witcher 2 did. I fully understand why this decision was made, Witcher 2 was more niche and Witcher 3 had to more mainstream and I know many game stores who keep Adult game back in the shelves, while M games are sold without a problem (which is weird).
Now that we've seen CP77 demo , We know for sure this is going to be an Adult game, With sex scenes, nudity, Violence, Cuss words, Gore etc.
I just want to know what rating you are aiming for here?
Personally, I would suggest you releasing a M rated game, with a patch to boot for the players who want to upgrade to an A rated version. This would work as it would still make the game mainstream and no one would be hiding the game in adult sections, and still players who want the raw experience will get it via a patch!
I know, it is very weird for the Games industry, where even if you show mortal kombat levels of gore and fatalities with insides coming out and bodies getting halved, its still M and you show a little more thrusting in some sex scene and its instantly Adult.
2- Night City looks vast and massive. And I've heard you'll be able to travel to various districts, but I am curious if this will follow the Witcher 3's (if you see that, you can go there) approach. Like the Title Reveal scene in the demo (which was so cool btw) I see so many buildings and stores and I just wonder where one would be able to go or would that just be background?
I understand it both ways, If one will be able to go everywhere, that would be epic.
and even if not, I'd understand it would be technical limitations.
But Sources claim Cp77 is a next gen title as well, so who knows
3- Bring back Iorveth.
Oh wait, Wrong game.
3- This is really minor thing, I'm talking about a Quest Journal.
and though many many fantasy games do it, I've seen this getting streamlined as the new titles are coming, which is somethign I don't like. I really did adore Witcher 3 and 2 and 1 having a journal where I get all the details about the quests, what happened in those, and the outcomes.
I know this was one of things I loved about Elder Scrolls Oblivion...but If you play Skyrim or new Fallout, you'll see you don't get that. You only see the name of quest, the objective and a tick mark if you have completed it.
I would really like if we have some sort of cool cyber journey to keep track of quests/missions with a story to tell with some text, That would really be nice
4- Will I be able to whistle my car back to me?
Ohh okay, I'll just take my leave now
Thanks!!
