Next Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Reveal Set for 30th August

Cool Beans! Definitely going to watch this. @LiamCroft any chance you guys will be live streaming it?

Ahh cool. Hollie is great

Honestly getting sick of this, just show the full e3 2019 demo already and stop dragging it out.

Nice one. I'm looking forward to watching this one about 20 times, too.

Apparently the people at GamesCom just saw the same demo they showed at E3? So...we will get to finally see the demo they showed back at E3...

@BearsEatBeets Sure, I don't see why not!

Will give it a watch as it's only 15 mins, but I am already sold on it. Then I will go on a self inforced blackout from the game until it is released.

This'll be great. Every time they release new footage, I somehow get even more excited for this game.

I too am getting a little irritated with CDPR not showing the general public the latest gameplay demo. None at E3, none at Gamescom, and now we get an edited 15 minute slice instead of the full 50 minute uncut one they announced months ago. I respect CDPR a lot, but they need to cut it out and show the 99% of people who are actually paying for Cyberpunk 2077 the gameplay.

Excited to watch but theyve shown enough to get a purchase from me. Really didnt like the Witcher 3 but this seems right up my alley. Only decision now is Stadia or PS4/5 lol

@RBMango Why? So you can have the game spoiled? The people who go to see these things don't usually get to play a game properly, they have to rush through it for reviews etc. So some spoilers for them don't matter. Also things change. They edit stuff out that will no longer be appearing, or has changed graphically, because they know full well people like you will be writing in forums "I'm irritated with CDPR. I can't believe they removed that from the game. It was only that but that made it worth buying. They lied to us!" etc, etc, etc...

@Eldritch No, because this is the second year in a row where they've engaged in the industry standard "behind closed doors sessions for press, table scraps for everyone else later" marketing strategy of marketing that is a serious pet peeves of mine. Even if it has souped up graphics and features that won't make it into the final game, then be honest with people about it or don't show it at all. They had no problem stressing over and over again last year that the footage we were seeing was a work in progress and had features that might not make it into the final game.

CDPR also said their reasoning for not showing public gameplay at E3 this year was to build hype for the general public. It's got nothing to do with the press not getting to play the game properly at launch or anything like that. It's indulging in the manufactured, calculated hype machine, and I think CDPR could do a lot better than that tired nonsense.

How can they be honest about it? Things can change all the time. What might have been a dead cert then may not be possible later. And despite whatever warnings they put gamers make these things personal. Gamers, on the whole, are a toxic and not a very forgiving bunch. Look at the whole puddlegate fiasco. The company increases graphic performance but due to different lighting within the individual games people start crying about it's not as good as the demo they saw. I don't blame companies for not wanting to show lots because whatever happens they're going to annoy some section of gamers. And as for table scraps, you're getting the whole game later. Patience is a virtue as they say.

Hopefully they will actually show gameplay instead of a target render. Game has been some and mirrors so far.

@JayDub That footage was not even in game. They have been hiding the game lol but I am with you.

@LemonHaze You do realize nothing they showed was in game right? This is another Anthem situation.

@Rick_Deckard No, that will go to TLoU2, which actually showed in game footage.

@RBMango All the game is is hype with no in game footage. People fall for it every time just like Anthem. Calling something that does not even have in hame footage GOTY is foolish.

@Eldritch Spider-Man has plenty of puddles but that is irrelevant. How can anyone be hyped for something that they have not seen? He is right to want to see real gameplay.

As a consumer you don't buy a car before driving it and you don't buy a game before seeing it. That's the logical thing to do. If they can not deliver on their promises than that is their fault, not our concern. People are hyping this game up so it better deliver.

Sony and Nintendo never have a problem showing their games regardless of the feed back. Consumer criticism can also help devs make positive changes.

@Eldritch They were honest with people during that last 50 minute demo. I just re-watched it this morning, and the narrator stresses multiple times that what I'm seeing is always subject to change. And if footage is good enough to be hailed "game of the show" by multiple outlets (like it was at E3 this year and 2018), then I don't understand the hesitation to show it to the public other than to generate "hype".

By table scraps, I'm referring to chopped and heavily edited bits of what the press get to see. I'm a very patient individual (I wouldn't be a Kingdom Hearts fanboy if I wasn't), but let's call a spade a spade here: CDPR have been hyping this game up for more than six years and they have very rarely taken the opportunity to throw the general public a bone with actual gameplay instead of a CG trailer. It's another case of the ever growing gap between how influencers/press are treated versus the actual paying customer.

@GodGamer I don't agree with you there. That 50 minute demo of Cyberpunk from last year looked way more authentic than the clearly fake Anthem "demo" from 2017.

@GodGamer I never said he shouldn't want to see game play. I was saying there's a reason these companies edit what we see. As you use the car analogy you wouldn't expect to test drive a car that had features on that will never exist. The reason being you're likely to complain that what you saw doesn't exist on the product you bought.
