Don't tell me what I want or don't want

 

[ResilientBanana]

dope.

 

[Von Hugh]

Are they ex CD Projekt RED workers?

Found some gameplay gifs on the steam page:

 

[Kuranghi]

Well that's an ace trailer, but I doubt the game will be anything like this.

They even rendered the sequence out at 60fps to make it seem more like its a real computer game, good work lads

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Very obviously Blade Runner inspired so it has my attention. If it plays as well as it looks it might be awesome.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Looks cool, love cyberpunk settings, hopefully the gameplay is good.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I like what I see. I do not know who these guys are.

 

[Buggy Loop]

When it looks too good to be true I'm immediatly doubting. Looks more ambitious than projects than way bigger studios. I know Poland has made unexpected hits and lookers in the past but, a lot to prove.

 

[ungalo]

finally a game that's not repulsive, why not

 

[Dr. Suchong]

It's not cross gen, so I'm in

 

[Braag]

Everything looked cool apart from the fedora.

 

[Xtib81]

Looks very interesting. Need to see some gameplay but some screenshots are reminiscent of BioShock.

Found some gameplay gifs on the steam page:

Shit looks wild, man. Oh and yeah, it's on UE5 according to their website.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Day fucking one as long as it isnt broken

No sign of Diabetic Fetus on this one Im assuming

 

[Xtib81]

It's apparently being made by a team of 25 people if what I've read on twitter is true, so yeah, I'll definitely keep my expectations in check.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Came into the thread expecting a Bond game going by the name, got Cyberpunk vibes.

Ex-devs?

 

[SlimySnake]

It's apparently being made by a team of 25 people if what I've read on twitter is true, so yeah, I'll definitely keep my expectations in check.

Gears of War 1 was made by a team of 40 people. Maybe UE5 allows them to make games more efficiently.

Or maybe this is a walking simulator lmao

I definitely wouldn't expect an open world action RPG like Cyberpunk. From the description it seems focused on its detective theme. Might be pretty linear.

May this be true, but Gears was made 20 years ago ^^ I wouldn't hold my breath for this new game, there has to be a catch.

 

[rofif]

Clever mix of in-game and prerendered scenes.
Trash nouveo sci-fi aesthethic for me. I grew tired of it.
I won't believe it until we get gameplay.

Mam I miss early 2000s


So much less tense and energetic. Much less riskaverse industry.
I wish what you said is true but it seems that UE5 is not lowering budgets and making games easier to make....
In a way YES - You have unreal editor, store, tons of assets, quixel megascan assets and so on. But if you have to create your own stuff it got to be top quality and it's not cheap.
Also - ue5 allows people to make games.... who should not be making games more often than not. People who are not devs, who don't know programming or a thing about the industry.
And answering your post from graphics thread - No. It woun't look better on my 3080 vs consoles. Games look the same everywhere now with differences that have to be pointed out to be seen or just resolution.
Unless they pull crysis1 on us which they won't

But let's be a bit more optimistic.

[Complistic]

Looks like it might be fun. Will add it to the wishlist to watch.

 

[Denton]

Looks great, but I would not expect gameplay mechanics heavy game. Probably going to be storydriven linear kind of thing.

 

[RavageX]

This looks like something for me, BUT it better not turn into some visual novel BS.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[linko9]

Looks dope!

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

like bladerunner meets bioshock

will probably play like ass but hope im wrong

 

[The Cockatrice]

Yeah game wont look like any of the gifs or videos or pictures and it'll prolly be a 2h walking sim and not coming this year. Cmon, how are you guys always falling for this kind of shit?

 

[Hypereides]

Found some gameplay gifs on the steam page:

Looking good. Definitely something that looks interesting.

Adrian Chmielarz involvement. Dude worked on Bulletstorm. I'm sold already.

 

[Neon Xenon]

Real nice trailer, but I would like to see some gameplay footage.

Found some gameplay gifs on the steam page:

...But these gifs will do for now. Keeping an eye on this game.

 

[The Dead Flag Blues]

That narration was so corny and lame. I like detective games, but don't have high hopes.

 

[Lethal01]

This looks impressively bland.

 

[CGNoire]

Art Deco Bladerunner. Probably a walking sim.

 

[Magic Carpet]

That Unreal Engine VR injector should be fun with this.

 

[YuLY]

Like someone already mentioned, is this walking sim with puzzles or does it also have combat ?

 

[CamHostage]

The description is out, and it's fairly clear that this is not a combat-based game if that's what people are clicking to see.

This is a detective adventure game, where you use special time dilation tools and other sci-fi devices to investigate murder scenes. (It's not fully described if there is a portion of the world to navigate in some form while investigating or if you simply go from crime scene to crime scene to solve murder puzzles with dialog in between, but it seems more likely the latter.)

Experience a noir adventure in an alternate future of New York City in 2329; technology has advanced to offer humans eternal life, allowing consciousness to be stored in memory banks or transferred from one body to another. That is, if you can afford the subscription.

See through the eyes of Mortality Department Detective James Karra on his hunt for a serial killer who targets the city’s elite citizens. Investigate crime scenes using his time manipulation augmentation and advanced technology to reconstruct events leading up to each murder and uncover clues that lead to the horrifying truth behind the murders.

Lose yourself in a dystopian future through this meaningful and original interactive detective story, that explores the dangers of transhumanism and immortality. In a world of eternal life and vanishing morality, you, a hardened detective, must navigate the lines of right and wrong in a society where death is a distant memory.

I don't care much for the concept but the graphic looks impressive (and probably faker than your average kpop female singer).

Hmm. Okay, not that's not what I expected. I hope they provide some gameplay vids for further transparency/clarity.

 

[winjer]

This looks like something in the vein of Observer.
Going into a crime scene, finding clues, interrogating people, etc.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You had me at new Polish Studio.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Before yall cream your pants - say the magic words : "Need gameplay"

 

[ShadowNate]

Blade Runner and Bioshock vibes. And maybe Signularity too?

Looks really good too, so it has my interest for now. I would like to see actual gameplay though.

Also, I think I've seen the Studio's logo in a game before. How new are they?

 

[balls of snow]

All in. I hope its a detective walking sim.

 

[SABRE220]

Please let this be good!, bladerunner meets BioShock almost like a next gen arkham night in visuals.

 

[darrylgorn]

 

[nemiroff]

The trailer is technically and artistically sound. But, you know, there wasn't even a second of gameplay.. So.. Yeah.. I guess I'll just toss this one into the "I don't really care"-bin for now.
