(unofficial) Cyberpunk 2077 FAQ. Frequently Asked Quandaries.
We didn't seem to have one of these and it would be useful, so I shall start one. CDPR can remove or change or whatever of course. Update as we go and you guys feed in information.
All respective copyrights and borrowed wordages owned by their respective owners, no challenge intended, etc.
Is there any new news?!
2018: BEEP.
-Well, check the links below for what we've got but if you're looking for hardcore data, to quote Mr. I-co-birthed-CDPR Marcin Iwinski, (his name really is I win. Freaky, isn't it?), "We haven’t talked a lot about the game, and we’re still not at the stage where we’re ready to talk about it." They're working hard but not talking about it. When that changes, you won't see this.
On a related note, from CDPR CEO: "The promotional campaign (for Cyberpunk 2077) is already planned. It’s main element is the surprise, so I cannot even say when it will begin. Simply because it has to come as a surprise."
Who is this CD Projekt Red you speak of?
-Really, Faithful Reader? Really? Very well. They are pretty great.
Adam Kiciński, President, CDPR had this to say about his crew, which I quite liked:
"[Our people] believe that, I hope they believe that, at CDProjekt they are able to create the greatest games in the world. No one will stop them because we, as business persons in the company, we are not valuing Business over Quality. So we never stop them from quality for any business reason."
"We have to calculate money, of course, but we are not the company which will ever, ever say, "because of fiscal, we have to." Never. We always look at the long term, we always look at the quality because we truly believe in it."
There. That's CD Projekt Red.
What is Cyberpunk 2077?
-Cyberpunk 2077 is a PC and next-generation console story-driven open-world role-playing game being made by CD Projekt Red. It is set in the universe of and derived from the tabletop role-playing game Cyberpunk 2020 developed by R.Talsorian and written by Mike Pondsmith. It will utterly destroy your world and replace it with a much better one. Well, a much cooler-looking one. This may involve surgery, but you weren't using that eye anyway, were you?
NOTE:Cyberpunk 2077 is NOT an MMO. In any way or kind. Repeat, NOT an MMO. Nothing wrong with MMOs, but this game is not going to be one.
Do the Devs read this forum?
CDPR: "Of course."
Development Questions!
What means this word, "Cyberpunk"?
Originally, it loosely defined a literary genre. That genre has long since expanded into other media. Cyberpunk is generally defined as, "High Tech meets Low Life" and can be seen in the novel Neuromancer, movies such as Blade Runner and graphic novels like Ghost in the Shell and Transmetropolitan. Not to mention, role-playing games like Cyberpunk 2020.
We have a thread with lots of suggestions for you to read, watch and enjoy over here.
What is this Cyberpunk 2020 you speak of?
-The RPG of the Dark Future! Solos, Boostergangs, Netrunners, High-Fashion Models and You!
Elements of the Matrix, Blade Runner, Judge Dredd, Appleseed and Michael Mann's Heat all meet up and have a party!
Find more details here of course.
Blog of the 2020 PnP Devs, R.Tal: http://rtalsoriangames.wordpress.com/
-We have even MORE online resources for you to peruse over here.
Sidenote for Old Punks: The timeline does include everything up until and including the end of Firestorm: Shockwave. CyberGen and V3 are not in.
What kind of graphics are we looking at? I NEED THE PURTY.
CDPR has said CP2077 will use Red Engine 3, their disturbingly-impressive game engine developed for Witcher 3 and CP2077. You may begin to slather.
When will it be out?!
-When It's Done. CDPR are aiming for Before Actual 2077, but they are determined that this be an epic, amazing experience for us and they will take however long they need to make sure that their standards are met. Be grateful! Quality is assured! Go play some CP2020 until it's ready! Have a cookie.
Gameplay Questions!
Single Player or Multiplayer or Single-Player with Multi-player components?
-Speaking to Eurogamer, managing director Adam Badowski said Cyberpunk 2077 "will be a story-based RPG experience with amazing single-player playthroughs, but we're going to add multiplayer features."
First or Third Person Perspective?
-Tenth. It's a new narrative technique. No, I kid. Again, we don't know yet. Whichever one you'd prefer, prepare for the other. That way, you can be numb to your loss OR pleasantly surprised! Feel free to contribute your view on the subject at our Poll here.
Mature Content?
Well, it's a dark future, people lie to you, you may have to cope with loss and...oh, wait. Is that a little drool I spot there? Yeah, it is. Wipe that..there you go.
Anyway, if you're asking us if there will be bare breasts, we don't know. ODDS ARE there will be, since CDPR does not shy away from a thorough engagement with their adult subjects, whether it be blood, sex or racism. If you haven't played Witcher 1, 2 or 3...please do so. Now. Right now. Go!
/////// SCREAMSHEETS! ///////(That's a Cyberpunk term for media reports)
Where can I read of this in the medias so that I may further broaden my growing mind?

January 11 2013 GameTrailers Interview with Mateusz Kanik - website is down, only some fragments survived (posting them below)
So what is the world in 2077. What will change?
The fourth corporate war in Cyberpunk 2020 ended with the detonation of a nuke on top of the Arasaka Tower, resulting in the entire corporate district being annihilated. We have the reconstruction of the buildings somewhere else. It is the same city, but it moved a little closer to the coast. You’ll find some legendary places like Afterlife. The corporations will also remain present – Arasaka, Dynalar, KiroshI etc, be sure to find them.
When comparing the game to The Witcher series – how will you change its technology. Cyberpunk will use the REDengine. But the tool is still developing?
This is an amazing engine! This is truly one of the best tools for creating RPGs and it allows us to make every role-playing title. But some changes are necessary. In The Witcher we didn’t have guns, only crossbows, which are a completely different story. We have to change the physics and ballistics of the game. Character movement will also change – the witcher is a mutated human, but we’ll have a whole system of cyber-implants, allowing you to modify your limbs. These are the main changes in the game engine, but there are a lot of small features that have to be changed and added.
How would you describe Cyberpunk 2077 for someone who doesn’t know too much about it? A person who never heard about the genre, didn’t watch Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell etc.?
Cyberpunk 2077 will be an awesome game about a hero from the streets, from very dangerous streets. Raised from the gutter, he uses ultra-modern technology to stand against large corporations and others who exploit the underprivileged. The lonely rider takes his chopper, tech and the slaughter begins (laughter). Awesomeness in pure form with an engrossing, non-linear story – like an epic movie.
