chakkman Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I'm still not too fond of the style and the settings of the game. I'll probably end up buying it anyway, but, still... Deux Ex was a immediate hit in terms of basically everything. This game just doesn't wow me in the same way. "Night City", meh. Body builded musclemen or freaks as NPC's, don't like the name and the character of the factions much. I don't know. Just doesn't talk to me the way the old and new Deus Ex's do. They definitely have more appeal for me than this. This rather looks and feels like a comic compared. Sorry for being all negative. Just my opinion, of course.

jaxa Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 The children and grandchildren of the zoomers will all look like that. Genetic engineering, body modification, advanced prosthetics, advanced hair dyes, designer drugs, etc. Cyberpunk 2077 is just depicting normal life 50+ years from now.

Original RPG has a lot of goofiness. For example there's a character named Adam Smasher It's closer to Johnny Mnemonic than Schindler's List for sure. Quote It's only a model...

peter_spy Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I played the original pen & paper Cyberpunk, and I think they got the style quite right, along with all the cult movies. This is basically 80s extrapolated into the future, and that's correct. Funny that Deus Ex gets mentioned so often, because despite strong art style it had some really nonsensical ideas, especially in terms of being a prequel to original DX. Hengsha is one of those, design and lore wise, but also the whole fashion and black/gold color scheme. I get where they're coming from, but whether it makes sense in DX context is another story. To me it's more like they hired some fine arts interns who majored in fabric and clothing, and they needed to find them something to do for the project.

I just do because, everywhere, Cyberpunk gets compared to it. Right from the start, I didn't feel like they have much in common, apart from obviously being of the same genre. It's like comparing Elder Scrolls to The Witcher. Very different games also IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Cyberpunk genre in films (Bladerunner, Ghost in the Shell, Total Recall, Battle Angel Alita; all great films), but in games it did not really work for me so far. On the other hand, I loved the Witcher games (although Withcer 3 had a lot of meaningless "occupy the player" taksks), so maybe I will still give it a shot. But definitley only, when I get it on sale for less than 30 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering there are sooo few (too few) cyberpunk-themed immersive sims with RPG elements, I think a comparison to Deus Ex is pretty fair. What else is there? System Shock. That's about it, right? On the other hand, you have tons of fantasy RPGs so that the spectrum of different kind of games is a lot more defined, which leads to your example comparison, Elder Scrolls vs Witcher, not being valid.

jaxa Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 https://wccftech.com/cyberpunk-2077-quest-life-paths-wall-running/ Quote Finally a high bitrate version of the latest trailer is available: https://www.gamersyde.com/video_cyberpunk_2077_the_gig-45034_en.html If that is representative of the game running with DLSS 2.0 enabled then I am impressed with the clarity and sharpness. Watched it on a C9 and looked like native 4k to me. I don't have a 4K display so I'm not going to bother downloading a 1.5 GB 2-minute clip, but one of you might find this useful.

Even if your monitor doesn't support the resolution, higher bitrate means image quality will be better. This is especially true on Youtube which has low bitrates. 4k will look much less compressed than 1080 even on a 1080 monitor. 1 Quote It's only a model...

jaxa Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) All of those screenshots look great, but the rain and palm tree one really sticks out for me. It looks like it will be a really cool city to just wander around in. And this could end up being one of the best showcases of real-time ray-tracing to date. The next-gen AMD RDNA2 and Nvidia Ampere GPUs should have about 3-4x the ray-tracing performance of Nvidia Turing (the overpriced beta test), with no or low FPS penalty for turning it on. Also, if you have an expensive Turing GPU, especially the RTX 2080 Ti, you might want to sell it by next week or two. You might be able to get nearly the full amount you paid for the card and use it to buy a cheaper next-gen GPU that outperforms it.

chakkman Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) The first shot is really deilicious. The rest is... well.. Cyberpunk. All a bit crazy, out of this world modern. As I mentioned above, I guess I expect Deus Ex a bit too much. Or maybe I'm just looking for something a bit less exaggerated.

Anderson Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Speaking of Deus Ex. The Nameless Mod got updated to ver. 2.0. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1774011024&searchtext= 1 Quote "I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."... - 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.
