Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Harsh Gameplay Truths You Need To Know
3. "Making It Accessible To Non-Shooter Fans Is Important To Us"
This is a direct quote from Alvin Lui from CD Projekt Red, who recently gave an interview to WCCF Tech to coincide with the gameplay demo.
Similar to the first person only angle, how much this influences your enthusiasm for the game depends on your feelings towards shooters in general. If you were stoked for inventive gunplay and now fear it’s going to be playing second fiddle, this might puts the dampeners on a little bit.
However, if you were always more interested in the narrative and exploration angle of the game, this is good news. It shows that such important parts of the game won’t take a back seat to standard gun and run or cover shooting missions.
The last thing anyone wants is for the lore and richness of the surrounding world to be shunted off into a corner. Let’s just hope the pendulum hasn’t swung too far and restricted some of the interesting and complex mechanics teased.
The interview also revealed that the much rumoured role for Lady Gaga would not be materialising. Whether this is good or bad news though is really down to personal preference.
