I highly recommend taking a look at the Far Cry 6 cinematic trailer sometime. BUT also the intro cinematic. The intro is just gold. Watched it everytime.

[@beccadixon1943]

About the phantom liberty trailer if you haven't be told already. Its a great dlc that adds alot of great memorable moments to an already Amazing game. I don't want to give away anything incase you play it yourself. A game I have recommended to friend before and would do again

[@dzhanker]

Diablo 2 cinematics tell an amazing stand-alone story, and with the recent remake "Diablo 2: Resurrected" the visuals are also really cool.

[@breezywinter4646]

You should take a look at the E3 2014 cinematic for The Division maybe even the factions trailer for The Division if you can.

[@moseslowdell0802]

Apex Legends has a whole bunch of cinematics similar to the Overwatch ones and since you already know a bit about the Titanfall universe I think it would be worth checking them out. There is a timeline to follow but I think the official Apex Legends KZbin account already has playlists in the correct order for them.

[@youngrootv]

This is one of those rare games that I got postgame depression from playing because I was so into the story and world. Wish that I could replay it again for the first time 😩

[@pistol0grip0pump]

I assume that means you've played Phantom Liberty too? Despite its "less than ideal" launch I LOVED Cyberpunk especially Edgerunners, also playing it on a decent PC after playing through the main game the first time on a PS4 pro 😵😮‍💨I think the only thing literally carrying me through the constant crashes, bugs and other issues was my sheer love and hype for the game, so the second I was able to play it on PC I just DOVE right in! 😂

[@NordisktLejon]

Yeah, every ending is a different flavour of sad and I love it. "A happy ending? For folks like us? Wrong city, wrong people."

[@Japinaaa]

Its been 2 months since i finished the DLC and i still get emotional about the ending and wanting to go back. Im just waiting till the game is not fresh in my memory so i can go back and do it all again, even though i know it wont hit as hard as the first time.

[@patriot459]

Then phantom liberty comes out and gives you so many new endings or continuations depending on what choices you make. I felt the same way when my choices led to the situation where V survived and I was actually heartbroken and felt like I had lost because of my choices.

[@sieglindeeilserv8799]

I still haven't finished the game with a base game ending because I don't want the tory to be over. Easily one of my favorite games and I've been gaming since the days you could be eaten by a grue.

[@Cifer77]

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best stories ever told in gaming and since the 2.0 update the gameplay is pretty damn amazing too

[@pascia]

I just started my first playthrough a few days ago so this update is all I know, it's been really amazing so far. Owned the game since release but was not able to play because of performance issues, was around 32fps on launch and now its over 108 on average. Loving it so far and last night I fell into the endless modding pool heh.

[@kaizammit]

@pascia since watching these, I've put in over 100hrs on this game but I've never touched the modding scene. How do you do it and is it worth it?

[@Nyx_2142]

I forgot how annoying the rose-tinted fanboys are from this game. The game is nowhere even close to what was promised with nearly a decade of hype. My playthrough just a few weeks ago with no mods still had me constantly encountering bugs. The AI is still brain-dead trash, the city is still extremely empty except for the handful of heavily scripted areas. The "2.0 update" (fucking lol, the game doesn't even feel like a 1.0) was a marginal upgrade to gameplay but the slightly deeper depth to cyberware is nice. And then the fucking gall and audacity to sell a $30 DLC and pretend like its worth half the base game price when the base game is still so blatantly obviously missing a fuck ton of content. The DLC itself is likely made up of cut content they resold. Oh, and they dropped developmental support after doing it. So it will NEVER get better. They've cut their losses (after double dipping with the DLC) and moved on to the next thing. No Hello Games treatment for this one, unfortunately. But the simps watched one fucking anime now things its the greatest thing ever. Honestly, Cyberpunk 2077 being as big a piece of shit as it currently is, is so fucking on brand for the genre. A game ruined by corpos over-hyping and underdelivering.. a true Cyberpunk experience. I'm sure the next game in 10 years will definitely be better and totally not pull the same shit again. Corpos would never lie, right?

[@WolffQuam]

@@Nyx_2142 Look mate, if you don't like it, don't play it. Simple as that. Doesn't mean other people can't enjoy it like it's the best thing they had, maybe it really is for them. No need to be this harsh just because it's not your case.

[@Neekzu]

@@WolffQuam I have put 500h into the game because it is the best game I have ever played. But he is right. Everything is true and he is really passionate about explaining his frustration with the game. I understand him. I would name it "missed potential". There was so much potential in this game. And yes there are still bugs and visual glitches that become more annoying the more you see it. I will still play the game and mod it now, i love still love the game.

[@ceebeejay10]

Love the short pause and “hello” when Judy comes on screen. Same, friend. Same. LOL

[@kaizammit]

Have the same type then haha!

[@szith]

Panam was the one for me but I’m just starting the video idk if she pops up in one of the trailers

[@dakotapriem]

I'll say your GTA comment is likely what a lot of people thought when playing it through. But part of why I love it so much is because that rug gets pulled out from under you very quick. And from then on it's personally the most unique emotional journey I've been on in a game. Can't sing it's praises highly enough.

[@trevorveillette8415]

I would say if you want an emotional journey even more unique than cyberpunk 2077, try the NieR series games. NieR:Automata and NieR replicant. Cyberpunk certainly has a very unique circumstance for its character slowly dying in an interesting way, but the NieR series overall has a style of writing incredibly unique to the director of the series. After you play 1 of his games, you could just tell without being told if you're playing another of his games. Very unique formula for story and character development in both games. The series is also a sequel that carries on from his previous series called drakengard. The timeline between the first drakengard and NieR:Automata spans around 10,000 years and 2 different universes that are linked but separate. Can't recommend them enough, especially for story, music and characters.

[@ShiroDawn]

@@trevorveillette8415 i mean tbf Yoko taro is literally insane and that is what allows him to create such unique stories

[@Devinoch]

No lies, Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. The story is absolutely one of the most remarkable narrative experiences gaming has ever put forth. I recommended the game to literally everyone I could.

The phantom liberty dlc is not at all about revenge. Actually it's more about guilt than revenge or even forgiveness.

[@lockekappa500]

The trailer does do some bit of deflection and make you think it IS about revenge. The irony is I don't think Sol gets enough credit for doing right by So Mi (and Myers) even after this event.

[@kfc2180]

is it worth playing? Havent played since launch, I enjoyed it and had no issues but figured the longer I wait the better playthrough 2 will be.

[@CoastGhost13]

@@kfc2180absolutely. All the devs have moved on to Witcher 4 so the game isn’t going to get any more updates. It’s as good as it’s going to get and it is incredible. I absolutely hated it at launch and then went back last year, beat it twice back to back almost 100+ hours each time and then went back and did another full playthrough when phantom liberty came out. So three times in about 9 months haha. I’ve got ~400 hours logged after deeply hating the game at launch.

[@neutchain7838]

I wouldn't say that it won't get any updates. Though I agree with you that there will be no more DLCs and large content updates I'm sure they will continue to add little things here and there and add stuff to support new hardware, etc... The Witcher 3 is still getting updates. CDPR doesn't abandon their games and their audience, that's why I was never worried when the game launched. I was sure they will fix it and they did. Also the way they embraced mod support made sure the game will live for a very long time. Just look at how popular are the Stalker games are after all these years. Huge modding projects are dropping quite often. Give players an immersive world and they will come up with the wildest ways to expand it.

[@Nyx_2142]

@@neutchain7838 "CDPR doesn't abandon their games and their audience" They literally did. They released one DLC of what was likely cut content you should have gotten in the base game and then ended support for the game. " I was sure they will fix it and they did" Fucking lol. Lmao even. I constantly encounter bugs when I play, often requiring reloads or even full restarts of the game. AI is still just as braindead as ever, especially when driving (if you can get cars to spawn at all). But hey, police don't magically teleport behind you so.. its fixed. right? Christ, you are fucking overdosed on copium. You immediately drop to the level of thinking modders fixing and keeping a broken game alive as a good thing instead of being a sign of broken development. Cyberpunk fanboys really do have some Star Citizen level brainrot, but at least you didn't spend tens of thousands of dollars on pixels you'll never see on screen. Need me to give you some Narcan for the copium overdose?

[@Aura_baby]

The Phantom Liberty Expansion for this is a spy thriller... with an AMAZING piece by Dawid Posiadło. Very Bond-esque

[@Kubrzesz]

You forgot about the "Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty - All In" clip where you got Idris bringing you in to the game's world with a song in the background that is from the Phantom Liberty soundtrack, that is performed by, you guessed right, Idris himself! Idris overload!

[@ITmotoNoob]

What's amazing about CDPR trailers is that after finishing game you discover even more depth in trailers like one for Phantom Liberty. Like moment on President's plane where So-Mi doesnt respond to first question from Myers - because she's busy guiding and talking to V.

[@JohnnyBoy-wi4kn]

I'll never get over Jackie's death...we didn't have him for long but the time we had...he'll never fade away.

[@pedroribeiro1410]

a bit of some nice little trivia about the first trailer is that we can find the cop girl in game after we deal with a psycho attacking the clothing store we are in and we can comment on her blades saying "they are the 2013 model" and also the guy who points the gun at her head and herself are maxtac, the elite squad of night city police, they are almost all cyber psychos that the police uses to catch other cyber psychos so that's why they recruit her

[@AlexMarth]

I'm glad I just saw the trailers once I didn't remember they showed Jackie dying

[@Bakemer94]

I hated that they did that. I play really slow, so when I got to that point, I was already like 30 hours into the game. I was thinking the whole time, "when is this guy gonna die?"

[@Lucsy3012]

Exactly my thought. I picked it up just when 2.0 came out and didn't remember the details of the trailers. When I watched it later again I was like "yooo, these spoiler intense!"

[@ZeallustImmortal]

[@Nyx_2142]

[@AidanPryde09]

@@Nyx_2142 Ah, found the typical hater... Geez, I swear, you people are the worst. How about managing your OWN expectations, hmm? You do have branching decisions in the game, one of the first ones you have to make is "The Pickup", Do you pay Royce with your money, with the militech chip, do you shoot royce, do you save the old leader guy in one of the rooms or not. And that is just one Quest. After all, the game does have seven different Endings depending on your choices and actions. But that is nothing you would ever admit, so how about you just leave the people that enjoy the game alone and go back into your little hate hole.

[@SMGMP7A1]

To your point on how Johnny was lit(Keanu) it could be a representation of the fact that he is a visible only to the player as he is in the mind of you character. He appears either how he wants to be seen or that he appears clear always. In-game if you use the zoom function of your cyber eyes. The audio of where you are looking gets digitally enhanced and it is very clearly digital. But Johnny's voice is always clean as he is literally in your head. I wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional by CD Project Red. Sorry if this spoiled anything for anyone, but honestly the trailers did worse we just didn't know it at the time.

[@itseggboy4]

[@KapitanWasTaken]

If I remember correctly, the first Cyberpunk 2077 teaser from 2013 was made by Platige Image. While on the English Wikipedia you can only see that they worked on trailers for the Witcher games, they also did trailers for For Honor, Skyforge, Frostpunk, Watch Dogs 2, Prey, Hitman: Paris, Hitman: Sapienza, Dishonored: Death of Outsider, Total War: Warhammer 2, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Skull & Bones, Watch Dogs 2 TVC, League of Legends (Mid-Season Invitation), Age of Magic, Frostpunk City, Total War: Three Kingdoms, God of War, For Honor: Marching Fire and Total War: Warhammer III.

[@KapitanWasTaken]

Also to add more info: when the teaser was made, only a couple of concept artists worked on the game, basically they only fully began working on it after releasing Witcher 3 (or finishing the Witcher 3 DLC, don't remember exactly the details).

[@MigotRen]

The entire game is itself a cinematic curiosity and masterpiece in storytelling. Forgett everything youve maybe seen ingame from other rpg open world games like the even more recent starfield. Heads just looking at you, moving their mouths uncannily. The entire game is basically shot in first person. which seems odd at first when looking at other rpgs but it makes for a crazy intimate experience. The combat and gameplay in gerneral have seen great improvements through updates and love from the devs and are A+ these days. But where the money really shines is in basically every animated seqence ingame. The mocap is insane as are the facial animations. I have never seen and felt a game or movie being so intimate and personal.

[@patriot459]

As a big project red fan I was nervous when they said we are making an exclusively first person game because normally their games are in third person. However as soon as they showed what the game play was going to be I was sold instantly. The game being entirely in first person sells you that you are V and the game reacts to how you play and what your V is doing. I highly recommend you play this game or watch the cut scenes because there’s so many choices that change and when you’re in the game in first person you feel every hit and gun shot and the weight that they carry because of how much they impact the story.

[@EvilMAiq]

Holy shit. I have met that chick in game from the first teaser. Never realized she was in a teaser at all.

[@CanisoGaming]

I absolutely love that so many videos showcasing the story & content of cyberpunk are only coming out the past couple months (since starfield released) 😂

[@SynKolezankiTwojejMamy93]

I need a movie version of Cyberpunk! Immediately!

[@9Jov]

I’m sad he didn’t react to the Launch trailer. That was my favorite one.

[@rmcreynolds]

Same, both for base game and Phantom Liberty.

[@thiskidren8719]

Definitely, I watched the launch trailers before playing the base game and Phantom Liberty and it set the tone for my sessions.

[@shintsu01]

One of my fav games made amazing story telling, raw real destopian relatable. With a lot of future and cyberphunk in it as the name says. The world of tthis game is amazing and i wished there was more to this game was sad start but they redeemed themselfs with version 2.0 wished more games where like this. Loved your review on all the marketing vids never really spended time on them but i really liked your review and explanation. Made me respect this game even more :)

[@Luna-cn4pj]

Cyberpunk and the dlc they released is amazing the game is beautiful the characters and city is beautiful I can’t wait for Orion to be released in ig around 5 years from now that will be amazing

[@LinksRoyal]

React to Ghost Of Tsushima please!

[@scottwatrous]

Seeing that original teaser, how much was promised, how much people got hype, and how far away we were but how much in the end it did show the spirit in which the final game ended up in due time.

[@jasminmujezinovic324]

With the latest update, this game jumped into my top 3 games ever. An absolute masterpiece!

[@blackwolf_majik]

I think one reason they kept samurai's head out of the early shot is that you can customize the character in game, so it lets you project into him before he steps forward.

thumbs up before watching, cyberpunk just that good lol

[@vitx4322]

I Waiting for this episode, thanks

[@r0N1n_SD]

After the 2.0 release and phantom liberty expansion Cyberpunk is definitely one of the best game I have played. Its an experience for sure❤

[@Eihei]

Cyberpunk 2077 is BY FAR the most immersive game ever made, especially when played in VR. The face expressions you can clearly see in first person view and the fact that the entire world is completely seamless - no loading screens between locations at all.

[@pistol0grip0pump]

Do you have any recommendations or have you thought about making an introductory video for people who don't know any of the lingo etc about framing etc, the fundamentals of film making? That'd be awesome!

[@kaimeridius3849]

Even if youre not into gaming id recommend playing cyberpunk and its DLC at least once, its so masterfully crafted, very very very few games or media in general can live up to this.

[@fishsmellbad1862]

Unfortunately you missed out big time by not watching the "V" launch trailer.

[@minibeech03]

they did a complete graphics update with the launch of the Phantom Liberty DLC. Huge update that came years after original release. That added Idris.

[@SolWake]

I always thought the backlash on initial release was waaay too harsh. Still do. But seeing these trailers and spots reminds me just how absolutely jacked hyped launch was. The extreme disappointment with the buggy mess at launch is understandable. I'm so glad I waited till 2.0 to play through. It took a few hours to sink in, but once I did, Night City was a dynamo of immersive storytelling. A genuinely fantastic achievement!

[@Aura_baby]

I teared in this game, and its animated show... several times

[@ZeallustImmortal]

You get to meet the girl from the very first teaser, shes absolutely insane.

[@TerrorOnElmSt]

They make top tier cinematic trailers

[@flea1985]

Hello, mate! Great content from an interesting point of view. Just one thing: game engine footage is not always gameplay footage, as you’ve seen in the second trailer. Sometimes, developers showcase graphics without a functional game behind it, and with no "weight" what the engine must handle during gameplay. Cheers.

[@shredgardo]

That cyberpsycho turned MaxTac officer in the first teaser is Melissa Rory, you can meet her in game at the site of another cyberpsycho incident

[@aasilashlily6681]

The woman you saw turned into a Maxtac agent (or a cop as you would likely know it) was named Melissa Rory. It’s a bit of lore than Maxtac takes Cyberpsycos and turns them into police.

[@Revenant-oq9ts]

Oh man. I was always hoping fpr this one.

[@abisheknair2523]

"Coming: when it's ready" It infact came out before it was ready.

[@JoeKerr019]

SO , cyberpunk was originally a tabletop RPG, like D&D. first published in the late 80s early 90s. The game was set in 2013, then 2020. and the current edition of the pen and papper ttrpg is set in 2045. the guys at RED REALLY ddid their homework in the pen and papper ttrpg

[@Pobedun-x2c]

I gave Boosteroid a try the other day because my PC couldn’t handle Black Cyberpunk , and honestly, it’s a solid option for anyone with a weaker system. I played without any lags or problems-pretty cool experience.

[@masenhime468]

Hey Kai, great vid man. I was wondering... when you go over trailers, cutscenes, etc on KZbin, does that help you with your everyday life as a filmmaker/ cinematography expert? The way I see it, you really know your stuff when you can teach it to others in a way for them all to understand.

[@kaizammit]

Absolutely it helps, being that they are done in crazy worlds and within a gaming space, it allows me to translate that information over to the real world where I work. I may have seen a camera movement that could be perfect for something I'm writing right now for example. It opens your mind plus it allows me to sometimes see that game cinematics are not always getting it right so to speak. Not the case here! haha.

[@GnomeKr]

Fun fact about the first cinematic and why it is one of the best ones I've seen being made for a videogame: That girl that massacred 14 people is named Melissa Rory and she is a Cyberpsycho (in short a crazy person due to augments massing with their brain), the police force you saw is a special unit called "MaxTac" that is being called in only when it is absolutely necessary, they tend to kill their designated targets on sight and never ask questions after. Sometimes however they make an exception for Cyberpsychos, if they are cooperative enough, they can offer them "work" in exchange for not getting a bullet, this is exactly what happend with Melissa - she gave up and saved her own life by joining MaxTac. It's nothing unusual also, there are many Cyberpsychos that joined MaxTac and are in active duty,which explains why they are so effective at their job. Outro is also a very interesting thing because, at least in my eyes, this scene takes place few minutes before Jinguji raid, where V (main character) and Zane Jagger (owner of the Jinguji store) get attacked by another Cyberpsycho and MaxTac was called in to help. You can see in game that Melissa still uses her old blades that you can see only in this cinematic, they are unobtainable in game at all.

[@blackhat4206]

You can get the semi-unique Max-Tac Mantis Blades from her if you kill her and her squad at the Jinguji. However, this is no longer the only way to obtain them. They will also appear as a potentially missable reward from a certain quest outcome in Phantom Liberty. I haven’t compared them side by side with the trailer, though, so maybe they aren’t the same visually.

[@georgemsp1ggott853]

I think the reason V looks at us in the mirror is because we are him. the whole game plays in the first person. In the game when we look in the mirror we look directly into the eyes of our character.

[@larslaufer301]

@kaizammit I don't know if this is the right place to ask but could you try to make some reactions to the very old Mechwarrior 2 games intro cinematics? Mechwarrior 2, Mechwarrior 2 Ghost Bears Legacy and Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries. You may also enjoy Mechwarrior 3s intro. Its more cinenmatic as well as Mechwarrior 4s with the first time life action actors (IIRC). I also forgot, there is the MechCommander 1 intro with some life action that is pretty cool.

[@VanagloriaVT]

You missed quite a few trailers, but you got most of the important ones. Great analysis!

[@kaizammit]

I tried to go for the cinematic ones and thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked the breakdown.

[@Anonymous-bq5qs]

3:37 actually it's true, the lady on the white short dress was a Cyberpsycho and became a MaxTac Cyberpsychos are the people who are too much on cyberware implants therefore making them mentally insane which makes them lesser human MaxTac however are the like, special ops of Cyberpunk 2077 designed to eliminate all the Cyberpsychos, they were once a Cyberpsychos themselves hence making them a MaxTac. So yeah you're def right about it
