Resident Evil 2 looks great. Gonna pick it up on PC though.

She finds Clank out of order in an abandoned planet, and after she fixes him, he has vague fuzzy memories of what happened to Ratchet.

Oh good, so I'm not the only one who considers Journey the epitome of wasted time? Yeah, it's overhyped by people who were desperate to find meaning in what honestly felt like an art project to me, despite being advertised as so much more than that - like it was some life-changing experience...and yeah, road trips give you a lot of time to think about complex things, sort out problems, or even come to epiphanies that never would've considered before. That's what tends to happen when you sit around for a couple hours doing nothing. Your mind tends to wander.

I didn't care for Journey either.

Couldn't finish it. Got about an hour into it but it just didn't feel like it was going anywhere or doing anything interesting.

Might force myself to finish it one day just in case it picks up.

I figured as much, just going by the vague descriptions of how amazing it supposedly was. Like Gone Home. I played through that game expecting something truly special. Wasn't really anything of the sort for me. I do envy people who do find such enjoyment in those games, though.

My only displeasure is that the lowpoly model in the original made Spyro look kinda gormless rather than cute. I liked that.

Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demo is up on YouTube. So grab a cup of coffee, a couple of snacks, and enjoy:

Looking very deep and complex. You can tell that's had a lot of time put into it.

I'm still unsure why so many journos have said it's one of the best things they've ever seen though. It looks like a fairly standard PS4 AAA game to me.
Looks like an open-world Deus Ex basically.

I'm sure it'll be awesome to play. But just looking at it isn't doing much for me.

edit: Ok, that times square looking area is quite impressive. Missed that.

I'm excited to see the kinda game they make using First Person perspective. Looks like it's on the right track

Watched that this afternoon and man it looks fantastic. Ive really enjoyed the last 2 Deus Ex games and this really seems like those cranked up to 11. Dont need to see anymore of it tbh. Just need a release date but my gut tells me that its quite a ways off maybe into next gen.

Looks cool, but all the swearing and nudity is eh. It's as if they feel like they need to prove that their game is mature, so they shoehorn a bunch of it in.

after seeing the first gameplay i have to agree the game looks incredible. i might try it out someday (on pc of course) even though i am not the biggest rpg fan but this has cool action elements in it.

@Dezzy If you consider the density of it all, and the fact that you can probably enter almost every building, I don't think we've seen anything on this scale before. GTA's streets looks like a barren wasteland compared to this. And it seems the environments are destructible too. Anyway, I'm even more interested in the quests. TW3 was quite elaborate in that regard, and this game seems to take that one step further.

@KirbyTheVampire None of it seemed out of place to me.

@Octane To each his own, I suppose. I personally found it excessive, and I don't think having that amount of mature content is necessary to create a mature game. But, CD Projekt Red has their own vision, and they're entitled to make whatever kind of game they desire.

I don't really get the hype. Looks like what would happen if you mixed Deus Ex and GTA V in a blender.

That's by no means a bad thing, but nothing here is screaming "GAME OF THE GENERATION!" to me.

@KirbyTheVampire I dunno. I get pretty annoyed if I watch something filled to the brim with excessive profanity, but nothing here seemed particularly excessive. Rough people are going to talk roughly.

@Ralizah I suppose. The fact that I'm already expecting mature content from the company might be coloring my perception of the game a little.

@Ralizah I dunno, but like I said, I don't think GTA V is anywhere near the scale of this game. You couldn't even enter buildings in GTA V. The density of objects, people, and detail, etc. I don't think gameplay-wise it's going to do something we haven't seen before, but it seems to be combining the best bits of a lot of other games without compromises. And I guess that's what exciting to me. That plaza looks pretty sweet, and if you stop and realise that's just one small area somewhere high up a building, then I cannot wait to explore the rest.

@KirbyTheVampire

You have to keep in mind that they use trailers to try and signal to the audience in order to convince them various things about the game, that may or may not be representative.
They obviously want people to know that this is a very adult game because some people (me) are more likely to buy it because of that.
But when you actually play the final game, it's probably not that representative. The Witcher had some extreme moments but when you were actually playing the game, it really wasn't that common.

That would put it on a new level. I don't think we know that yet though, do we? My guess would be that quite a lot of parts of those sky scrapers are unexplorable. Or maybe they'll include some procedural generation to fill in the gaps after the key side-quest locations are filled.

@Octane @KirbyTheVampire I agree with Kirby on that one. People talk about how the nudity content of TWC3 etc is mature handling....and it appears similar here. Bull. It's HBO all over it. And nothing about HBO is "mature", it's just edgy/risque/sex-peddling, with gratuitous violence every 20 frames or so. It puts me off CDPR games despite knowing they're very solid inside because I already know I can't stand having "we're not selling smut, honest, hey look how thin this g-string is!" HBO content shoved in my face.

I'm still looking forward to getting deeper into TWC3 and I'm deeply curious about Cyberpunk, but the gratuitousness of such content in the hollywood profit model, is as cringey as playing Senran Kagura. Moreso, actually, because SK actually applies an emotional aspect to it that's more realistic than the softporn (edging ever closer to hardcore) of HBO/CDPR content.

@Ralizah I love Deus Ex...hate GTAV....but I'm with you on the hype. I didn't get it. It looks like another probably really good game....but nothing about what I've seen so far justifies the "OMG it's happening!!!1" reaction any more than anything in S-E's demo reel. Same with BG&E2. No, Ancel, I would not like to join your space monkey program. Please keep your space monkey to yourself.

@Octane "t it seems to be combining the best bits of a lot of other games without compromises"
Bwahaha......of course it will. You betcha! And Watch_Dogs offered unprecedented interaction. I, for one, always trust that a game will support, cleanly, everything it appears without confirmation it may support after an E3 presentation on a game with no release date or even release platforms specified! I've never been let down once!

Cyberpunk looks awesome! I can't wait to try it out. Especially with how well designs The Witcher 3 was, I'm not particularly worried for this one at all. Seems to be carrying on the good stuff they're known for.
