An interview with Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith

From Eurogamer: "R. Talsorian Games is having a pretty big year. The studio is riding high on the release of The Witcher RPG last year, with expansion Lords and Land in the works. Cyberpunk Red, the latest edition of the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG is releasing in August, 15 years after Cyberpunk V3.0. And, of course, Cyberpunk 2077 played a starring role in this year's E3."

I am reading this and I think to myself these are legit questions and then BAM!!!! like clockwork it gets political with the transphobia nonsense. FFS!!!! Is it so f*#^ing hard for these games journos to stick to gaming?

garos821804d ago

just stop giving them clicks. There is a much better interview with Yong Yea on his youtube channel.

The sooner these "news" outlets die the better for our industry

SamPao1804d ago

I really dont see the problem with them asking. Its just a question, they asked in a respectful manner and he answered in a respectful manner. Really dont see your problem man.

xX-oldboy-Xx1804d ago

How important is it to the game? Not very.

SamPao1804d ago (Edited 1804d ago )

@xX-oldboy-Xx so when talking to a gamedeveloper you are supposed to be only talking about the game and not what gamers and other people think of the game and implications to reallife?
So when somebody tells us this awesome story he had with Journey and their live and how it was life changing or whatever, we should give them SHIT for it because they are not talking about the game???

Also just think of an ingame character, how importet is the world to them? to get fully immersed you need to understand the world and its implications and even in their world there must be people upset, but thats just part of life.
You upset, you question, some stupid people are outraged but thats part of it.

xX-oldboy-Xx1804d ago

The focus shouldn't be on a poster that depicts what life could be like in 50 odd yrs.

Story, gameplay, mission structure, difficulty in developing the game, How long were voice over/mo-cap sessions, length of the game, overall tone of the game, what were influences during development - plenty of things to discuss that would be of greater interest to the general gamer.

SamPao1803d ago

@xX-oldboy-Xx I agree, but it never wasa focus in this interview, it was a simple question, final one, just to get his opinion on it.

Cool chap love how he is sick of outrage , some the lore he wrote has happened uncanny.

staticall1804d ago

When i saw that screenshot, all i noticed are those cool looking reflections. And then turns out, it's "transphobic". Do those people always look at genitalia on every picture or what?

And why it's transphobic? Doesn't this ad actually mean, that people in Cyberpunk universe are fine with gender change, that there are a lot of trans people and corporations see them as potential market? It's like, they don't add trans people, it's bad; they add them, it's bad too. I hope this artificial outrage will stop soon, it's getting tiring.

Nacho_Z1804d ago

That was my take on it too, if anything it's inclusive and not remotely phobic.

Even if it was then that wouldn't mean it shouldn't be in the game, if they want to include offensive things as part of the authentic warts and all game world then they should do so.

SamPao1804d ago

agree absolutely, A lot of people think its even bad to talk about things like that or to even show a group of people that are INTENDED to be offensive or make you think. ITS LIFE guys... People can say and show offensive things

Fluttershy771804d ago (Edited 1804d ago )

Wow that poster does indeed look like a woman with a gigantic penis.

SamPao1803d ago

I think that is the point of it :D because it is exactely that

Cyberpunk 2077 Director On 95% Positive Steam Rating: "Never Thought I'd See It"

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.

DustMan13d ago

I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7225d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii25d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast25d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM25d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife24d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit24d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife24d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

just_looken36d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror36d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC37d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken36d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
