So...I'm from another country, I'm not American. We can't make an article on cp77 demo as now, and other collegues can't either. The reason being, we cannot post news or informations about what we've just seen as it might "enrage the LGBTQ+ community".
We are told to wait for things to calm down a little, Cdpro will do the same. Regarding the demo it'll be shown in a few weeks.
Let's start with some game infos
.You can jump entire missions and once they're gone you cannot re-do them because the story progressed
.Melee weapons have been reworked, Blades are now a starting ability for V you can choose right from the start
.You can also decide not to pick the blades and go for other "in-body" abilities
.So far we know about the blades, the pack (a jetpack kind of stuff) and the retrovirus (a passive ability focused on hacking)
.Hacking isn't a generic minigame, you can't pull it out everywhere and is used only in story sections if you picked the retrovirus, it allows to hack superior humans and devices
."Mind-Hacking" however is a minigame, and an ability used to hack solely into normies
.Free dlcs pack at launch
.One of them being a Battle Angel Alita dlc, female character only, personalizations etc
.Later in the story you can cooperate with the police or the gangsters
.Being part of the police means you have their "street-cred", policeman suit, and obviously the police car
.Same for the gangsters
.There are no trans in the game and there won't be any
.There's a censorship option to disable curses
.The bike will be based on the Akira movie, it's licensed and everything. It's an electric bike
.Johnny Silverhand is dead the moment he finds you by the scrapyard. He's a net manifestation that kept you alive when you passed away. He was trapped inside the chip that costed Jackie's life. The chip contains Johnny Silverhand memories and net-manifestation and it's fully sentient. His goal is to recover a special body and needs you in order to do that, because you're the only physical link he has in the real world. He's basically your employer
.Your goal is to take revenge for your lifelong friend, Jackie, on the fat gang boss that betrayed you. He needed the chip in order to gain access to Silverhand's technologies. He had the power to wage war on the city and obtain absolute dominion. But he also had a backup plan which involved his net-presence being put on a chip, the one you were requested to retrieve
.There is another "celebrity" involved, but it's not a real life actor this time. Rather, an anime character. They didn't tell us exactly who, but it's easy to assume it's either Kaneda or Tetsuo since their bikes are in the game. (you can find kaneda's bike being shown in the gameplay sneakpeak, tetsuo bike can be seen in the artbook preview)
.There's a wanted system, similar to GTA. You can get arrested and lose all your inventory and weapons, unless you bail out (either a companion pays or gets you out). You can also try to escape from small police cells. The same can't be done in the "Penitentiary", because it's a story special level (similar to the single special levels you could've had played in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines as the museum, the haunted house etc)
.No hub world, just a massive loading at the start of the game (similar to dishonored 2 as it seems)
.Game will be inter-gens, will come out on ps4, then it'll be out for ps5 right at console launch
.Enhanched edition ofc
