Classic marketing bait and switch. Show us stuff that doesn't exist in the final product, and just say it wasn't done yet!

The marketing really was out or control.
 
Metro is a sensible topic for me since I live in Moscow and just like every muscovite I spend almost half of my life underground.

I hate when developers use metro stations only as fast-travel points with no animation. In Mankind Divided metro was so beautifully integrated in game mechanics, there was even a cutscene showing Jensen's ride while the location was loading! I don't think that a small third person scene showing V inside an overcrowded train would ruin the immersion, it would be a nice alternative to the camera-feed-like loading screen we currently have.
 
This topic reminded me instantly of this mod for Fallout 4. Something like this would fit perfectly into Night City. Even with just a single stop in the center of each district of the map, with fast travel only "within" the district you're currently in.

What I mean is, you can fast travel anywhere within a district, but moving from one district to another would require driving or taking the rail in real-time.
 
Definitely hoping to be an addition to future dlcs coz I dont think something like this is expansion worthy. I would personally like it to completely replace the fast travel system (perhaps with random encounters on the trains), it would essentially be faster than cars with a Press F to skip ride system.
 
I'm not bummed they where cut. But what isn't acceptable is holes in left from the stations CLEARLY visible. extremely unprofessional.
 
The stations are there in game but you cannot enter, you can even see some of the trains passing thru the city on high rails... they just dumped this in the bin when the Johnny re-write happened and like much other creative content it was shelved when they spent the last 19 months rewriting the whole story to centre on Keanu..just another of the features we lost to the celebrity $

as soon as the game is optimized enough to have traffic jams,
there's also the main issue of travel points and cars being the main way
players travel through the map, meaning that to use the subway
in the game we'd need new quests:
either having to do something in a station or train, like the classic stopping a cyberpsycho
or escorting someone and using the subway to avoid traffic jams for example.
 
I clipped into one of the station entrances yesterday (using a mod) and there's no content made beyond the entry doors and lobby you can see from the street.. behind that it's just 'movie lot' empty space... interesting to watch all the NPC's coming in one door (something a non modded player character cannot do) walking a few metres thru the entrance and straight out of the other door in the same order... 'smoke and mirrors'....
 
Motorcycles and cars are easily accessible at any time and there are dozes of fast travel points. Whats the drama about?
McDonalds advertises tasty food and it is not tasty. Starbucks advertises good coffee and it's not. Marvel advertises epic movies and they certainly are not.

Because it was a shown off feature, for one. Second, it was worked on for probably months. Thrown out at the last minute. Why was it cut so late in the production. Very late where there's holes in the map. And no one realized. if the player is on a bike. Can bypass the barriers.
 
So they changed their product form the advertising. Big whoop. Stuff like that happens thoushands of times a day withhthousands of products.
It is a game. It is not real.

Unable to answer poll, unsure if working subways were ever a promised feature or in the game to begin with in order for them to be removed.

If anyone has source on this being a promised feature and or actually removed from the game please share, please and thank you.

Why was months of work on the train system done than. That's called mismanagement.
