Eye implants

I am fascinated by the idea of eye implants.
If we are talking civilian usage, the eye implants can directly show the GPS route in our retina, so that we don't have to look at a screen or map anymore, everything can be display on our retina.
It can be use as a camera, recording everything we see, and rewatch it anytime we want. Wow, i guess everyone will definitly use it record their sex time if eye implants actually exists in the future, there is no need to buy porn anymore.
It can also scan someone's face, and search online for their history.
A powerful implants could even detect the expression of the person, accessing what their current emotions are.

For Combat use, it can scan what kind of weapon is the enemy carrying. The eye can predict the enemies next move, analysised from enemies body stance and position, very much like iron man fighting captain america in the Civil war movie. Where Ironman analysised captain's fight patern with the armor scanner, and beated him in close combat quite easily.
The tricky part is who would win in a close fist fight if both have the same scanner and AI

I think the eye implant will be most interesting implants for the game, i think the developer can learn some idea from above and from the image of the terminator movies and put it in the game.
I am sure they have some cool idea for the implants, these are just some suggestions. Can't wait to play the game!

So, these are just the Maelstrom screenshots, very non-standard!

And in 2020 You have mirror shade implants like Molly from The Sprawl trilogy, visors similar in looks to Geordi's from Star Trek TNG, and the BugEye implant, where your eyes are replaces by a huge multifacetted and bulbous lense that gives you vision like a fly. Ugly as hell but very functional.

I expect to see some very outlandish stuff

Personally, I want to have different HUD styles depending on which style/manufacturer you pick for the base implant, which could go a long way to making V feel unique to each player.
 
Yes different eye implants are shown in many screenshots. But we only saw it on NPC for now.

Ah, now, is this a screenshot or is it meerly concept art using the engine?

Although I do like the look of this, I'm guessing its some sort of extra sensory device that converts somethinglike radar into visual data.

similar to Ghost in the Shell certainly

Personally I'm not fond about the idea of having something electronic which would require surgery to be changed when it becomes out of order.

All that can be possible with high tech goggles, look Batman in Arkham he don't have eye implants, but have all options you pointed out.

Also terminator is old vision of how some high tech would look or work, like in many 70s or 80s magazins you see their vision of future with flying cars and so on.

Also Maelstorm crew are fanatic when it come to cyberware and what they want to put on them self.
 
I vote "yes" for total immersion and consistency with the background.

---> If we don't have eyes augmentation, then I suggest that we don't have a HUD. It is basically a matter of minutes since we get our first augmentation, so I'd be more happy if we experiment the change between the two states.

--> Or let's say, if we already have an eye aug, I suggest that we're able to take it back later in the game.

--> Furthermore, HUD is an gameplay option and I'd be happy if we have the freedom of customing it (like put some parts ON or OFF).
 
I always like to keep one eye meat, they way you're not blind if you get caught by an EMP grenade.
Yes, you can shield stuff to an extent, but that's the whole idea of a grenade, a powerful EMP burst at short range, there's no shielding you can carry on your body that'll stop that.
 
Doubtful. We do know that the player can't modify self to the extent the Maelstorm crew can, so them having such modifications proves nothing.
Could you provide a source for this confirmation that we cannot, at any point in the game, get modifications of that type for our character?

I know we can't do that at creation, but I don't remember seeing anything about wether it can or cannot be done later in the game.

Lol why? not all people want to put cyberware, plus many like to see HUD in game without bothering to get that element by some other mean.

Because then it becomes a reason to make a choice, rather than having your cake and eating it.

Basic common sense and exactly what I used to do in 2020. (Until I needed the FBC treatment...)

From the gameplay reveal:
They are members of the Maelstrom gang, and their obsession with body modification goes way beyond even this world’s standards.

On their path to becoming machines, they don’t shy away from even the most extreme measures.
Given that we can't go cyberpsycho and will be limited in the amount of cybergear we can get, and the fact that the Maelstrom guys are getting modifications that are way more hardcore than your usual cybergear, it's rather clear we won't be able to get our hands on this kind of hardware.
 
Also if you can see many HUD elements only with cybereyes, then that is stupid design and force player to put cyberware even if he/she don't want to, many want to play with pure body.

Since CDPR already say that some cyberware is a must, pure body playthrough is out of the picture, but they probably want to have as minimal cyberware they can, and if head gear like goggles, mask, contact lenses and so on only add +1 or +2 to cool stat and don't have any other bonuses then that is big minus.
 
So what would use consider to the minimum you could have? Having the HUD in you eyes is probably one on the better ones as it's necessary to have it in order to actually play the game.
 
I really like the idea that the HUD options are only available to AR glasses, eye/neural implants, etc, it is the best way to satisfy the greatest number of people, especially if it isn't all or nothing. I tend to play netrunners/deckers with a bunch of sensory/data related implants though so if it is tied to implants I'll take all of them even if they don't have "combat application."

Well from demo we see you already see your HP bar you see quest objectives display we even see compass they have, all that with your normal eyes no implants no high tech goggles, so what more you need?

No, that is with implants. When V visits the ripperdoc she's not replacing an organic eye, she's replacing an existing implant with a more advanced model.

Yeah, you are interpretting it the way you see fit, what I see is a description of a gangs mindset and style. Didn't see anything saying players aren't allowed to go to extremes - and there are ways around cyberpsychosis, most involving spending money.

Hey, you want to dream, keep dreaming. But just so you know - there will be no way around cyberpsychosis, because the player won't allowed to go into that state for the story reasons. So, yeah, it does stand to reason that players won't be allowed to go to such extremes.
