Influence (Dev Questions)

I see some threads already regarding player's opinions and one about the "revival of cyber punk"

How do the developer's feel about the cyber punk genre?

Why have they chosen this genre to be their next project?

What are their favourite contributions to the genre? (Ghost in the Shell, Deus Ex, Blade Runner, Akira, etc)

What kind of game is this going to be? (RPG, FPS with RPG elements, Action RPG, Action with RPG elements, etc)

Will the game be open world or more dedicated to the over-arching story?

Just want to say I greatly enjoyed TW2 and look forward to seeing what your studio puts out next

Hmm i do believe you can get some of these questions answered by watching their Cyberpunk 2077 unveiling, at their summer conference. also im pretty sure it will be a open world game. Atleast thats what the Machinima guys said. However a Dev answer would be nice yes

Yeah, they've answered nearly all those questions on the unveiling last summer. Check it out, it's a fun watch.

That did answer 2 of my questions (How do the developer's feel about the cyber punk genre? and Will the game be open world or more dedicated to the over-arching story?), the rest are largely unanswered

to the Dev: i have 3. questions, 1. how is the Character creator ? is it like APB Reloaded? 2. will the implants change how the character looks? 3. will it have a clothing system like "The Secret World"

As long as there isn't any multiplayer I think the game would greatly benefit from the APB Reloaded character creator. If there is then I feel like that much customization might take away from the atmosphere of the game judging by how some players use it in APB.

They did answer all of this questions in various interviews, Mike Pondsmith blog etc. So you can check their youtube channel

There are some more so u can look for yourself.

What are their favourite contributions to the genre? (Ghost in the Shell, Deus Ex, Blade Runner, Akira, etc)

Blade Runner, however the Cyberpunk 2020 PnP was mostly influenced by William Gibson Sprawl Trilogy. So u can check them, and I really think it is worth to read it. Also u can check the movie Johny Mnemonic as it is based on William Gibson short story. Also as they introduced Braindance you can watch the Strange Days - really great movie with the same concept.

Open World RPG

Will the game be open world or more dedicated to the over-arching story?

Story will be very important but also they want to make it open world and non linear. Tough job but hopefully they will make it.
