Cyberpunk 2077 May Feature Driving/Flying Vehicles

I was already very interested in this game but now it just moved way up the must have list.

I'm a sucker for player controlled vehicles in games and in a RPG like this, just wow, Although this will likely be a 2019 game and I guess that's okay, I'll take the Scorpio version please. :D

Thoughts?

The Story.

Cyberpunk 2077 May Feature Driving/Flying Vehicles

There could also be vehicle combat, according to newly spotted job ads.

Cyberpunk 2077, the next major RPG from The Witcher studio CD Projekt Red, may feature vehicles, if newly discovered job ads are any indication.

The Polish studio is looking for a vehicle gameplay programmer to "create the whole architecture of vehicle-related code and the physics of driving / flying in those vehicles."

This isn't the only vehicle-related job ad for Cyberpunk 2077, as CD Projekt Red is also hiring a vehicle gameplay designer to "create compelling vehicle-based gameplay." This includes but is not limited to vehicle handling and controls, vehicle combat, and "relevant vehicle-based AI systems."

Another requisition also mentions vehicles; a successful candidate for a concept artist position will create technical concepts for vehicles, machines, and weapons, according to the post.

CD Projekt Red appears to be on a hiring spree for Cyberpunk 2077, as it has more than 60 open positions for the game posted on its careers website. Jobs are located at the studio's main HQ in Warsaw as well as Krakow. The vehicle-related posts were discovered by All Games Delta and CGMagOnline (via GameZone).

Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled to launch sometime in the 2017-2021 window. Don't expect to see more of it until CD Projekt Red can prepare an impressive showcase for it.

"Right now it's the end of talking about Cyberpunk until we can go out there and show stuff and say, 'Hey, here it is,' because that's how we do games," CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwinski said. "There is too much talking about what it possibly could be, and how big, and...

"When we show it, we should show it and explain it. So I'm going to have people not read anything about Cyberpunk probably for the next... time, whatever the time will be."

The game is set in a dystopian future and is being made in partnership with Cyberpunk RPG designer Mike Pondsmith. Platforms have not been announced, but PS4, Xbox One, and PC seem likely.

Expected it since it's going to be Open World Game.

Hands down the game I'm looking forward to the most

If there's driving it has to feel great. GTA level great, not the level of mgsv or just cause driving. Otherwise don't put it in.

Vehicles is a nice thing, or more specifically "mounts". Looking forward to seeing more about this game, loved the W3

Everybody will be driving (driven by) Google Cars.

vehicles? so confimred it will be boring open world game point A to point B. interest lost. shame i LOVE sci fi cyberpunk setting. and not keen on fanatasy much.

I want it to be good. but wont surprise if it will have terrible combat like witcher 3. CDPR make mediocre games.

Figured as much. After seeing the improvements they made in Blood and Wine, I'm seriously hyped. They are the best developers in today's gaming world, in my opinion.

As long as it doesn't have the same shitty combat system as the witcher. Really hope it doesn't.

CDPR should master horses first.

They pretty much did. Never had any problems with horse controls in Witcher 3.

I don't see any problem here ...

I'm with you, Frank.

Bow to your horse god.

Neither did I. It just bugged out every once in a while, but CD Projekt actually embraced this.

Loved the flying vehicles in Jak II, god I really don't want this game to be over hyped, it only ruins games .

This seems to be correct.

Poor mans Far Cry 4.

Somehow, the first thought that came to my mind was Blade Runner. Maybe it's just me.

You know, if Roach had wings, (Pegasus) I wouldn't need to sail in Skellige.

Flying cars will exist before this comes out.

Car Insurance are sure gonna see some insane increase rates and boy, people are gonna freak out on there increase rates lol.

YouTube videos of accidents will certainly get more interesting. :p

That thing probably cost more than the Titanic.

They can barely get third person movement right and now they want to add vehicles. ?

I want this game sooooo bad! The wait is going to kill me!

@ghosts4ever: CDPR games get GOTY awards and made the company worth a billion.

that means crap when they cant make games with even decent combat.

@ghosts4ever: They already made a game with decent combat. It received universal critical acclaim, won tons of GOTY awards, and is arguably the best game of the past 10 years.

Oh, it's also a game that you didn't like. Ah well, there's bound to be a few people who hate any great game.

By the time it comes out, we will be in our 60's.

Still butthurt about the score Gamespot gave to W3? LOL

Based on what exactly?

@ghosts4ever: That means that their games are so good they win accolades despite it's short comings.

I literally cannot wait for this game.

I'm even thinking about applying to work on it (and I know someone who might very well be getting a position there), so that should be interesting...

List of games that have better horseback riding than TW3:

- Every game with horseback riding.

I mean, it even got beat out by a stealth game lmao.

So are we talking about driving flying cars or ground based cars? I kind of pictured Blade Runner with this title but maybe I'm way off. If it's flying cars, I haven't seen much of that in many years. There was Tex Murphy where you drive a flying car and another PC game where that's basically all you did was pilot a flying car but don't recall much about it.

I'm waiting to see some actual game footage before passing judgement either way. Could be amazing. Could be shit.

I'll be hyped when they release some actual gameplay lol

Yup, never encountered any problems with MGS 5 and neither with Witcher 3's horse. The only thing I remember is it getting bugged when trying to scale down cliffs but that too happen very rarely.

As long as they aren't over used in the game I'm fine with it.

When Cyberpunk releases, its gonna make every sci-fi game look like a poor man's Cyberpunk 2077, just like The Witcher 3 made all fantasy RPG's look like a poor man's The Witcher. CDProjektRED is KING

@ghosts4ever: you got THAT salty over the concept of traversing the world in a flying car that you've already written off the game entirely without knowing what the game is going to offer?

CDPR make great universe, lore, concept, world. but their games feel flat when it comes to gameplay. they still dont know how to make a decent combat.

@ghosts4ever: I'd say based on the teaser trailer from a couple years ago that the game will feature gunplay... Which is something I don't recall in any other recent cdpr game. I did not enjoy combat in the Witcher 2 at all... But it was greatly improved in the Witcher 3. I just think it's waaaay too early to be writing off a game with only a teaser trailer.

Not really interested. If it's to get from point A to point B, fine. If it's moving from one point to another, great, make a transitional vehicle animation. I don't want driving to be in there just for the sake of it. This feels gamey.

Hopefully their vehicle controls aren't as clunky as their walking controls. Euro Devs seem to put smooth gameplay extremely low on their priority list.

I'm a developer. I'm applying, **** yeah bitches!!!
