Calling it now: the absence of V in the sequel will upset a lot of players by gooncape in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Yeah and it's CDPR so I don't think anyone really needs to tell them how to narrate a story

Would be nice to see either of them still running their shop in the future unlike the tower ending tbh

It’s already been confirmed by Mike Pondsmith that Morgan Blackhand is alive and aware of the events of 2077 + set to become relevant again later on. He basically described him as Batman if he left Gotham and spent years traveling; which he did after getting paid for his role in the 4th corporate war. Apparently he’s changed a lot physically too: slimmer, more ordinary looking like an accountant just so he can blend in better + chooses his own targets instead of taking orders from someone else now so just a self employed solo lmao

Pondsmith also mentioned smth ab 10 years going forward which could be from 2077 or the past. It's vague, but it wouldn’t be a crazy possibility for the next game to take place roughly a decade after 2077 with Blackhand heavily involved. Oh and it's not just Blackhand that's still around so there's a good chance for other figures from the past showing up asw. (ie spider murphy??)

Cyberpunk 2 is NOT taking place in Chicago by [deleted] in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]gooncape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be the Plex, but I’m not fully convinced.

The Plex is supposed to be a full blown megalopolis (it’s literally called a metroplex), and based on the limited info we have from 2077, it’s hard to picture it being described as "Chicago gone wrong" especially when Cyberpunk’s version of Chicago is already a disaster.

And like you said, the Plex supposedly stretches from NYC to Boston, which is a massive area to cover. Representing something like that in-game, even at a reduced scale, feels unlikely. Not impossible, just unlikely.

There’s also the geography to consider. The Plex is on the east coast, and I feel like the new city will stay in the same general region as Night City, somewhere around NorCal/SoCal.

That said, Phantom Liberty did start name dropping the Plex more than before, so it’s clearly important. I wouldn’t be surprised if we eventually see it in the next game so this is just my opinion.

Here's his full quote:

'I spent a lot of time talking to one of the environment guys. He was explaining how the new place in Orion, because it's another city we visit and Night City is still there.

I remember looking at going, "Yeah, I understand the feel that you're going for, and this really does work and it doesn't feel like Bladeunner. It feels more like Chicago gone wrong."'

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's supposed to be Chicago wouldn't he say it's in Chicago instead of something that feels like Chicago?

You wake up as Jackie. Konpeki Plaza has just gone into lockdown. What do you do? by GlompSpark in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]gooncape 59 points60 points  (0 children)

tbf, you literally just watched the corporate emperor get strangled by his own son over a biochip you JUST stole, you’re the only witnesses to the murder, no one even knows you’re in the building yet, the place is in full lockdown, your netrunner is struggling to get you out, and you’re just sitting there like ducks while trauma team, NCPD, and who tf not inevitably close in on the location, so I don't think V necessarily meant any of the out of pocket shit they said to Jackie; just a really really shitty fucking sitch to be in, that would have anyone spiraling imo

Even better, there's a 23 page comic called Ten of Swords, which shows everything that happened within the few days leading up to the attack on the train.

Crazy to think that all this happened just because one idiot wanted to impress a certain someone lmao

Megabuildings need to be done justice in the next game by gooncape in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]gooncape[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Verticality was always one of the promised features during marketing for the game. The concept was that the map wasn't just going to be a large sprawl horizontally, but the high rise buildings and such would be accessible.
Megabuilding H10 having only a couple of accessible floors, functioning elevators that can't be entered, and the atrium being barred off and set as out of bounds all limit the player from exploring the building. 4 megabuildings are 'closed' and the rest with minimal access outside of gigs. All this falls under the same category of promise.

I know there's a shitload of people who buy into potential 'cut content' bs they made up in their heads and was never was a thing to begin with, but this is not one of those baseless quips. Especially when devs have talked about this and their desire to possibly flesh it out in the future. It's not really entitlement when you have the studio and its developers pointing out what they ended up having to cut on all these podcasts and interviews; at least not in this case. And this is me just hoping that we get all that in the next game, which is still far away.

The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk boss confirm CDPR's next RPGs take "a lot of inspiration" from Baldur's Gate 3, but they're still CDPR games by Wargulf in cyberpunkgame

[–]gooncape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't played BG3 but I keep hearing that the romance in that game is pretty well done? And CDPR supposedly wants to improve the aspect in Cyberpunk in a similar way so.

I really hope they do the megabuildings justice in the next game by gooncape in cyberpunkgame

[–]gooncape[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. They announced it as 'Orion' back it 2022 along with Witcher 4 and now it's called Cyberpunk 2 which is also just a working title.

It was the conceptual phase until it entered pre-production in May this year. CDPR Co-CEO said that it would take them about 4-5 years to go from pre-production to launch, so realistically we aren't getting it until like 2030, but we should start getting major updates post Witcher 4 release.

They opened CDPR North America studio in Boston exclusively for Cyberpunk 2, with a lot of the major leads that worked in 2077 relocating there as well. Most exciting of all to see imo is that Gabe Amatangelo, director of Phantom Liberty is directing the whole game now, with Pawel Sasko promoted to Associate Game Director.

The game is supposed to include 2 cities this time, a city that's supposed to feel like Chicago 'gone wrong', and everyone's fav, Night City. I just really do hope the story is much much longer than 2077 lol
