Visiting a Ripper Doc will allow you to customise V with new abilities and skills. Not just in the character models and style of the world, but we're talking destructable scenery that explodes in the face of gunfire, drifting smoke, bullet tracers that curve through the air and gently rippling water.Д«ody modifications add abilities and passive skills If Cyberpunk isn't a cross-gen game appearing on the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett then I'll eat my cybernetic implants. This is some of the best and most successful implementation of 'immersion' - that magical phrase that developers trot out - that I've ever seen.Д¬yberpunk 2077 is going to push this generation of consoles to breaking point. The transition between cutscene and interactivity is so smooth it's really difficult to gauge where one starts and the other begins. Where we're going we don't need cutscenesД¬yberpunk 2077 does have cutscenes, *but*, they're the most seemless I've seen in a first-person game. Whether that's a one night stand or a more emotional long-term thing is going to be up to you. You can also form relationships with these NPCs, and yes, you can get naked with 'em. Like The Witcher, you'll have help throughout the game from NPCs and they're not just there to push a quest your way He was a hothead and good in a firefight, but perhaps not that useful if you want to take a diplomatic or stealthy route through the game. The main character who accompanied V in our demo was a big fella named Jackie. One choice piece of dialogue? 'Cleaner than a cunt in a covenant.' We saw V plunge a dude's head into a cooler box and blow his brains out from behind, blast off another man's limbs, pump some kind of skill enhancing future drug into her system, pick up naked dead bodies, stare at a mutilated corpse and use the kind of language that would make a navvy blush. The 50 minutes of gameplay we saw of Cyberpunk 2077 contained more violence, flesh and verbal abuse than any game I've seen in a long time. When this happens, you can carry on playing in first-person mode or switch to third-person if you want a wider view of the world around you. That's a FPS RPG, right?Д¬yberpunk also features driving and CD Projekt specifically mentioned 'vehicles' so maybe there's the option to take bikes or flying craft out for a spin. And when you shoot someone lots of little numbers burst off their body as they take damage to different limbs. But it's also very clearly an RPG with abilities and passive skills. Is it a first-person shooter? Considering the sheer amount of shooting you do, then yes it is. Unlike previous CD Projekt games, Cyberpunk 2077 is played in first person. You're also able to choose your 'life path' on start up, including characters that influenced you when you were younger, and CD Projekt claims this will have a direct impact on gameplay and how other characters perceive you. Class is defined by the options you choose throughout the game, based on the implants your character uses to change their body. There's no class for you to choose at the beginning. You want stats? You choose your Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Reflex, Tech and Cool to begin with, and these can obviously be changed as you play. Clothing also adds to the Cool stat, which is all about street cred and influences the way you interact with NPCs and story characters within Night City, as well as unlocking other content. This is a future where defence and abilities are crucial, so what looks like a regular denim jacket has a stack of stat-morphing properties. It starts with gender, includes body type and tattoos, and ends with clothing. V is a character that you can completely customise. Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be a game changer. And afterwards we jabbered our mouths off in excitement at what we'd just witness. We sat down at E3 to witness 50 minutes of stunning gameplay. In Cyberpunk 2077 you play as V, a mercenary trying to carve out his/her path in a world where the dice are loaded against you. we know the feeling mate.It squirms under corrupt corporate control. It explains that the obsession of finding all the stashes has left him too exhausted to go on. It doesn't have any legendary loot, but there is a shard on a nearby chap who unfortunately drowned while hunting for the final Smuggler's Cache. If you head to the bridge connecting Heywood to Pacifica, you can find another one in the water. Three barrels, floating on the surface of the ocean, with tantalising loot within. If you played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt through to completion, you'll remember the pain of hunting down Smuggler's Caches in Skellige.
