So with 3 characters and over 100+ hours into cyberpunk a thought occurred to me. I think the originality of night city and a lot we were blocked off from could simply be used and expanded upon for the next installment of three is to be one.
I'm looking at it from an artist perspective but with such a great foundation already in place why wouldn't developers take advantage of lessening their workload on a sequel? Assuming the sequel would still be on the same engine. We already have the city in place, new interiors could be added for any accompanying storylines, we have the surrounding areas outside the city that could be populated with smaller towns, they could even add an underworld( actual sewer, etc ).
With developers currently, it seems, wanting to remaster older titles and expand online titles this could work for a game like cyberpunk. And it would likely cut down on development cost and production time; admittedly I could be wrong on this.
But I think handling single player games essentially like mmo's as far as expanding could work. I just look at night city and think it such a waste of an awesome foundation( I have no idea what plans there are for expansions I only mean 'waste' in the sense that there is serious potential for growth in the same setting with future installments ). I know the majority of gamers tend to want sequels in completely new areas and for the majority of games I agree.
But what would everyones thoughts be if cdpr produced a sequel using the same assets and layout and just greatly expanded it?
