Off Topic Productions

Here is the teaser image they released: http://i.imgur.com/AWKxb.jpg

My mind is awash with the possibilities.

Is it wrong that I like the gun's design more than the mowhawk? Yes, I'm an old fart. lol

No, the mohawk looks pretty douchy, I'm just excited at the prospect of another cyberpunk AAA RPG.

Shit this is going to be good!

I hope. But that piece of concept art somehow makes me pretty excited

Interesting, have to keep tabs on this one

Turns out it's a computer adaptation of the cyberpunk 2020 pnp. Anyone played it?

I had to Google it. I wonder if they'll keep the skill based play? It looks interesting.

I have! It's ace! I played one game of it as a player, and ran the start of a campaign in it as a game master.

In fact the book "Friday Night Firefight" that you can find in a few places in TNM (I believe there's one on the counter in Raving's Weapon Shop) is the intro to the Combat section of the Cyberpunk 2020 rule book

The combat in that game is brutal, getting into a firefight if you're not cybernetically augmented is basically suicide.

And of course the more cybernetics you have, the more humanity you lose

It also had a complete set of rules specifically for hacking, they were pretty involved.

Would you happen to remember or have an opinion on whether or not the rules will translate well to a computer environment?

Hm, dunno. It was a pretty rule-heavy game, ISTR they had rules for pretty much everything, but I guess that can either work in the game's favour or against it.

They'll probably have to tone down the lethality of the combat system a little, otherwise firefights would be over way too quickly. Unless they go the hard core turn-based tactics route, and I'm talking aaaaaall the way over in the direction of the old Jagged Alliance, or something.

it'll be pretty interesting to see how they convert it from its original form.

I'm going to keep an eye on this.

Cyberpunk that is great. Haven't played Witcher though not sure if i'll like it, apparently the gameplay is nothing special.

You lot aware Dark Souls is coming to PC? Be sure to get it. It reminds me of a time when console games were good. To be honest it was perfect, oh except it lacked a soundtrack which was heartbreaking. Still fantastic game, very hardcore, restored my faith in Japanese developers.

Eh I didn't like Demon's Souls. I respect it for how uncompromising its design is, and how interesting the combat becomes simply because it's so punishing, but it's just not the kind of game experience I want.

BTW, saying "It reminds me of a time when console games were good" is a great way to make me ignore everything else you write.

Exactly. Console games were never good!

That is just ignorant. Yes PC is superior in so many ways but saying no console games are good is just....
