Special Russian edition of Night City Wire (with English subtitles) focused on the localization process. There are some clips that we know of from TGS (and couple of seconds of new footage with Royce, which looks like the aftermatch of peaceful resolution of the conflict with the Maelstrom) plus footage of Russian voice actors reading some lines from the game (including a piece of dialogue between V and Johnny)
- male V voice actor said that they recorded a thousands of unique dialogues just for city's ambience. He considers Night City to be the first city in any video game that feels authentic
- to him Night City feels like one of the main characters of the game, more specifically, the main villain of the story
- Senior localization project manager said that the game already has more voice lines recorded then the entire Witcher 3 with both expansions combined. The game also features more characters and voice actors then TW3
- they don't consider any language to be "original" and they are aiming at making every version of the game sound like it's the language the game was originally recorded at. This is why one of the rules that they established for every localization team is "Do not copy English!"
- there are characters who speak Russian in every version of the game, like many members of Scavengers gang or two people who arrived to Night City from USSR on diplomatic mission, so no matter in what language you play, you will always hear some of the Russian voice overs that they recorded for the game. The same applies to other nationalities as well, like Japanese, Mexican or Brazillian characters who will speak only in their native language
- Senior localization project manager was especially fond of Russian voice over for Kirk Sawyer (fixer that we can meet in the Street Kid prologue) and apparently his voice actor is a surprise that he doesn't want to reveal yet
- Russian voice actor for Geralt from The Witcher games will be featured in the game as a character, which he describes as a voice of Night City

I'm Russian, but I play my games in English (as long as the seller provides, Titanfall 2 DIGITAL only had Russian and Polish, oof), and I am still super excited to find out what's the surprise. I will be playing Cyberpunk 2077 in English entirely, but there are some very prominent voice actors of my childhood that I'd love to hear again - they were that great. Some of them made me feel like the Russian voice over was better than English in particular cases, too.
Honestly, though, I thought we could get a little chance to see more of the gameplay or something. Still was a fine episode, especially that part when some Russian guy who apparently works at Warszaw CDPR said there will be certain NPCs who speak their native language exclusively. Didn't expect too see that from someone else beside Saburo Arasaka.
Yuki Nishio (Japan localize manager at CDPR) just tweeted this:
(The pic shows a part of the script of Cyberpunk 2077, which is an insane amount!)

I can't wait to get a job from a fixer and then spend the day slacking off watching TV in my apartment and then going for some street food from a vendor.You can watch the shows from latest trailer on your TV
They're surrounding the NCART rail. That's the elevated monorail for the NCART system inside it. The colourful cage things are just decoration around it in that area of the city.
When was this interview? I'm interested to hear that the Subway is back as a form of fast travel, since a while ago it was said they had cut the NCART system from the game as a useable feature. Here's hoping we can still ride it without fast travel!
God that is sexy! Love the holograph markers that the TT vehicle is putting out on the ground. Detail like that makes me shiver!

You can find it right here (only as a part of the stream, since I don't think it was posted separately).
Based on that picture and description, I don't think we have to worry about the lack of story content in this game.
Yep, and it's only partial.
Somewhat unrelated: This reminded me of another such photograph about game script:
I think that sounded like you use a subway station as a quick travel terminal. Maybe there could be an animation, I dont know.
I'd hope at least that there would be something akin to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's subway fast travel. Personally my ideal would to be able to just ride it and watch the city go by from stop to stop similar to RDR2/GTAIV
It seems like Cyberpunk 2077 will receive full Korean voice over after all (it has been cancelled some time after initial announcement) and in fact they have been working on it since April in secret. Here's the special video (with English subtitles) in which Marcin Iwiński (with a new haircut) makes the announcement. There is also an interview with Korean community manager and male V voice actor, as well as The Gig trailer dubbed in Korean, for anyone interested.
On similar note, they released a gameplay clip with Italian dub:

motorcycle mechanics look siiick.
Not a huge fan of the slipstream effects, but driving looks good. I especially like the fact that there's a larger motorway to drive in, and its not all small streets as shown before.
Wow, looks like they've gone to a lot of trouble for the localisations. My second playthrough may be in French if all the teams have gone to that much trouble
I must say I was surprised that (mentioned at 18:27) some of the actors left the project because of the adult themes in the script; swearing, prostitution, etc. I'm not judging them or anything, just surprised. I thought VO work was like gold dust in so far as there are so many applicants you'd take whatever you can get.
