Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Ways It Will Change RPGs Forever

2. A New Form Of Investigation

Another brand new gameplay feature that CD Projekt Red is looking to introduce with Cyberpunk is that of 'Braindancing', which is the process whereby someone's recorded memories are scanned directly into your brain, granting you the ability to live through them yourself.

This will allow you to not only hear about a prior experience or view it through a cutscene, but live through it in a playable scenario. By seeing what someone else has seen, and feeling what they have felt, you'll have an honest look into events that have already come to pass.

And although the vast majority of Night City use this technology for, well...the more sexual side of life, you will be able to take this a step further by glitching out of the memory and investigating this past event as if still in the real world.

Think Batman: Arkham meets Inception.

You should be warned though, because as helpful as this might sound to someone unfamiliar with Night City, using the 'Braindancing' headset will leave you both unconscious and vulnerable to real world attacks, so be wary of how or when you choose to explore the mind of another.
