Why advertise trains if they don't exist in the game?! Why show a character jumping on the train (which doesn't exist) if you can't do it in the game?! False advertisement is a CRIME

[@SigmaGirlfriend]

After playing Phantom Liberty, I realized something pretty wild. The ending of the trailer in Space Force 1 actually weaves into the game's story. So Mi is looking into space and isn't responsive to Myers presumably because she is talking to us via the relic as we progress through the story, because we witness the missiles get launched on the ground while So Mi is with us. Pretty amazing detail.

[@SevenPr1me]

But listen to what Myers is saying to her, She offers So Mi a pill to sleep because the flight was going to be long, which leads me to believe Songbird lied to us about another thing. Myers had no idea what was going on until after the plane was hit by a missile. So MI made it sound like the plane was hacked and out of control and even talked about Myers wishing V luck and all this talk about her composure. She was making it all up. Which makes sense why Myers doesn't really understand who you are when you first meet her.

[@SigmaGirlfriend]

@@SevenPr1me Very true, completely missed that too!

Watching this again after beating Phantom Liberty. So Mi’s brief moment of forgetting her and Reed’s time at that taco stand takes on a whole new meaning. Before it seemed like she was just distracted by the task at hand, but now it’s clear she genuinely did forget thanks to the mental toll her Blackwall tech takes on her. Which in turn makes Reed’s following comment about her needing a break make even more sense.

[@FelipeGabe]

Nice catch!

Nah, definitely more the mental distress of betraying the person who is most important to her. She would probably have a million thoughts going through her head and can't really think clearly.

Cyberpunk 2077's got a decent story and setting, but unfortunately Mike Pondsmith has no mind for geopolitics. It's literally impossible for Japan/Japanese to be so powerful in any scenario even resembling reality. The USA would NEVER let one of it's slaves supplant it in such a manner, and would deliver another round of nukings far before Japan/Japanese got to the level they are in the lore...case in point, the "Plaza Accord" with a gun to Japan's head, Japan is now what in its 4th "lost decade"??...😆 Just takes you out of the immersion, like North Korea conquering the world in the Red Dawn remake.

This trailer is absolutely incredible. He sees the gun and realizes that it will be a problem. At 1:56 he calls to his dear person for help (he even says "we" as a team). At 1:59 that nervous deep breath he takes says so much, although he knows he can handle himself he realizes he's in trouble. And then finally understands the betrayal and that he's alone in this. These small details are insane.

[@mRGuitarShow1]

Just details, not small.

[@FishoD]

Not really small details, entire point of the trailer. Also how she was "out of it" with the taco place, not even remembering she knows it, because she was so focused on executing the betrayal. Literally everything they say is a potential foreshadowing : 1. "This is it. Do you trust me?" - "You know I do." - she knows he will do as she says. 2. "So Mi, I'm right where you wanted me." - she lured him into the trap. 3. "Nobody on you, I just cut surveillance cams." - she has full control over the train. 4. "What about you? Got ticket out yet?" - "I hear the government is sealing a deal." - he is the deal, killing him was her ticket out. 5. "You're gonna walk out of this on a red carpet." - literally a private jet with the president. And she is sporting cool mechanical hands.

Quick explanation for the uninformed, this is the deal Reed spoke of. Where Arasaka "got to him" for peace. If you pay attention So Mi actually tears up when Reed calls if she is there. She was his friend but she had to follow orders and complete the terms of the plan for the ceasefire to go through. That's how he "died" for the cause and came back. Why he ended up in the ICU before going MIA.

[@Requiemourn]

I love the detail @1:20 when they're talking about the quesadillas place. So Mi gives a boilerplate answer because she's completely distracted by the thought of what she's about to do. Reed looks confused, as if there's a hundred thoughts a second going through his mind (a netrunner of So Mi's calibre should definitely have remembered after all!). You can tell the exact moment when he decides she must simply be overworked... Idris Elba and the animators absolutely knocked it out of the park with how subtle yet telling his micro expressions were during that short exchange. I also adore the writers for making the dialogue natural and trusting us to read between the lines.

[@jjejet]

I can't stop being amazed how this fanbase doesn't even have to speak, it's like we're all wired to the same netrunning frequency, and everything we feel/observe/see we do in unison, and there's always at least one of us who will write it out for the rest of us to violently nodding the head and yelling out loud "YES!

damn ... i have to say, that's one of the most realistic 3d human face model i've ever seen, not only the ressemblance is pretty much spot on, but i think it's among the very few times i've seen facial animation that pass the uncanney valey. really hope this update bring cyberpunk to the level it was supposed to be, cause for having finished it, and for as buggy as it was, it really was a diamond in the rough when it come to the NPC characters.

[@NousagiCaptain]

Dude it really was/is. I kinda hate that it’s spoiled a lot of npc interactions and animations in other rpgs that I play or go back to. It’s just that good. Baldurs gate 3 being one of the few, that manages to keep up.

For building yourself I have no idea what the market is right now, but if its the same as a year ago, good luck buying a GPU for msrp and/or waiting 9-12 months in line.
