Inspiration and Influences
Cyberpunk 2077 has drawn influences from the 1982 film Blade Runner, manga and anime series Ghost in the Shell, and video games System Shock (1994) and Deus Ex (2000). These influences are evident in the game’s aesthetic, themes, and gameplay mechanics. Blade Runner’s dystopian vision of the future, Ghost in the Shell’s exploration of cybernetic enhancements, and the complex narratives of System Shock and Deus Ex have all contributed to shaping Cyberpunk 2077’s world and story.
The game will be launching on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia, Xbox One and Xbox Series X offering both single and multiplayer modes. This wide range of platforms ensures that a broad audience can experience the game, regardless of their preferred gaming system.
Gameplay and Customization
“Cyberpunk 2077 is played in a first-person perspective as V, a mercenary whose voice, face, hairstyles, body type and modifications, background, and clothing are customisable. Stat categories—Body, Intelligence, Reflexes, Technical, and Cool—are influenced by the character classes that players assume, which are NetRunner (hacking), Techie (machinery), and Solo (combat). The perk tree branches into melee, blades, handguns, shotguns, rifles, sniper rifles, hacking, two-handed combat, assassination, “cold blood”, engineering, and athletics.”
The level of customization in Cyberpunk 2077 is one of its standout features. Players can tailor their character, V, to fit their preferred playstyle. Whether you want to be a stealthy hacker, a tech-savvy engineer, or a combat-focused warrior, the game offers a plethora of options to make your character unique. This customization extends beyond just appearance and stats; it also affects how you interact with the world and the choices you make.
For example, a player who focuses on hacking skills might find alternative ways to complete missions by disabling security systems or manipulating enemy technology. On the other hand, a player who invests in combat skills might prefer a more direct approach, using brute force to overcome obstacles. This flexibility ensures that each playthrough can offer a different experience, encouraging replayability.
Anticipation and Expectations
The delay of Cyberpunk 2077 has been met with mixed reactions from fans. While some are disappointed by the additional wait, many understand that the extra time is necessary to ensure the game meets the high standards set by CD Projekt Red. The developers have emphasized their commitment to delivering a polished and immersive experience, and the additional development time will allow them to fine-tune various aspects of the game.
The anticipation for Cyberpunk 2077 is fueled by the success of CD Projekt Red’s previous title, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which received critical acclaim for its storytelling, world-building, and gameplay. Fans are hopeful that Cyberpunk 2077 will live up to, or even surpass, the expectations set by The Witcher 3.
