Dawns are going to be something in this game
I love the rust here
The expensive city center I guess. Even the roads are classy black + gold!
Oh god
Jackie hits on you. What do you do?

For the very rich
Just cozy
I almost wish they wouldn’t have spoiled this part
I still remember the comments of some people past year, where is the night?? It doesn’t look like Blade Runner/cyberpunky enough!

Damn, my 7600k is only 3 years old but not much faster than the 3570, so I guess I’ve got a problem as well…

This is a current gen game. It doesn’t surprise me the requirements are relatively low.

People have checked old benchmarks of The Witcher 3, which recommended a Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770 / AMD GPU Radeon R9 290. It ran at around 40 fps at very high details, and 50-55 fps at high details (no hairworks). I expect something similar here.

I’m surprised to see that, SSD apart, my PC actually meets the Recommended requirements. Of course, I have no idea how well it will actually run, but I’m hopeful. ;)

I sure hope this isn’t delayed until next year. It seems like every other game I wanted this year has been delayed. I also hope I can get a 3080 RTX card before this releases.
I plan on playing a corporate hacker and plan on staying a company man the entire time.
I suspect you get kicked out of the company almost immediately.

That would suck and would also limit re-play ability. If everyone just has some intro and then is dumped to some common plot point to start the real story, then backgrounds are really meaningless.
Ultimately everyone plays as V the Merc regardless of their background.

Backgrounds also affect how you interact with some characters or what you know, affecting some quests. Also each one will have a few exclusive quests. But yeah, once the prologue ends, the three backstories merges into the same start.

This is how RPGs have worked since, what? Dragon Age: Origins, at least. I’m sure someone will think of an earlier example.

Yeah exactly the touchstone I was going to refer to. It seems like the openings will be unique and there will be background specific points throughout the game. Much like DA:O where many of the locations/characters are interwoven with the backstories.

My wife just got her new laptop yesterday, an ASUS TUF A15.
Officially it is a work laptop. Unofficially it has an AMD Ryzen 4800 and RTX 2070.
I think you know where this is going. Because sure as hell my desktop, with a quad core processor and Radeon 7850, wasn’t going to run it.
It’s also something you see a lot in MMOs. Well, WoW, anyway. Regional newbie zones and all that. Although (at least in WoW) there is very little, if any, carryover beyond the newbie zone in terms of how it affects quests and whatnot.

Those are some impressive specs for a laptop. Connect it to TV and enjoy Cyberpunk with raytracing. Wife can take your desktop :)

cd projekt red are talented enough I wish they tried a game with elder scrolls like gameplay (which would give the freedom to do what you just said) in the witcher and cyberpunk universes.

These games are just getting bigger and bigger. I need 4TB SSDs to be the standard and affordable, stat.
How does one score a work laptop with a 2070? Is she in graphic design because I don’t think I could persuade my procurement team I needed one for Outlook.
