I think it would be pretty cool to have ear implants in Cyberpunk. Though I think the most viable way to incorporate them would be as a kind of "threat detector" that warns you when enemies out of view are gonna attack. Or when grenades land near you. Could be interesting.

Hey y’all. I’ve been wondering, Phantom Liberty is a “spy-thriller” type story wherein you work for NUSA. So it’s pretty likely Militech will be as heavily involved as Arasaka is in the main story. And as such, I think it likely that we’ll interact with Antonio Lucchesi in-game. ”But he’s...

In Cyberpunk, really the answer is both. A few long branches populated by many shorter branches. Cyberpunk was advertised as a game where you can make multiple major choices, and I think this structure would lend itself to that quite well.

I think the idea of automatically defecting really doesn’t work here. A major element of Cyberpunk is the focus on societal failure/dysfunction at every juncture and level. Star Wars is a melodramatic hero’s journey archetype. Defecting from the Empire is necessary since the setting tends to...

Personally, I very much enjoy that aspect of Witcher 2, and thus would definitely wanna see it in 2077. Really, more games overall. I find it enhances the completionist aspect, rather than detracts. I mean, besides, if you wanna play both acts in Witcher 2, you can simply load a previous save...

This is totally reasonable and understandable, but I personally do enjoy that mechanic. I’m a real weirdo that way. i like it when there are logical incentives and inconveniences that push me to do certain things. So having to craft Dragon’s Breath rounds to do fire damage sounds pretty damn...

You absolutely hit this on the head. Especially re: Menuization. A huge thing that was missing from the retail version is the diegetic experience we got from, say, the ripperdoc menu in the E3 demo. I was really disappointed when I saw that they cut that. Diegetic Interfaces, like interactable...

What's up, Chooms. I'll preface this with some context: Having bought both the regular and Collector's Edition, and read basically all the 2020 and RED Sourcebooks, you could say I was pretty hyped for 2077's release. As we all were. Having beat it around Christmas of 2020, I had a good few...

Honestly, yeah. Plus, you could incorporate a ATTRACTION system into the game, where olayersnhave to match one of the 4 styles to gain approval from certain NPCs

I’d say the first step would be fixing the player animations and Full Body Presence. I mean, But her Bay managed to pull it off back in 2005. No reason why CDPR can’t do it now

Honestly, could work. Though I would say they should incorporate multiple sets of modular attachments, more distinct from the bespoke weapons (like the sidewinder)

One thing that’d be pretty cool, to piggyback on your idea, is the option to create a Corpo Security character. Like a Militech or Trauma Team trooper, whose entire questline is an endless, repeatable sequence of gig-style procedural missions. This could also be boosted by mods or UGC

Hard agree. In fact, incorporating that into a greater weapon parts/modding/repair system would be ideal. If not here, then in future games (where they’ll be using Unreal)

Yup. Plus it’d be cool to see stuff like point defense weapons, lasers, railguns, and other stuff that wa spresent in the tabletop. Right now the weapon selection feels too bare for how open Cyberpunk is supposed to be.

Hard agree. You could even tie it into BODY and reflexes. A high enough BODY lets you dual wield rifles, etc.. High enough reflexes let you reload/reload faster when dual wielding.
