The trailer is flashy and fast-paced, and it gives us our first real glimpse of Night City at, well, night. We see towering skyscrapers, wet streets drenched in neon, fast cars, and even a few shots of the Mad Max-style desert surrounding Night City, simply known as the “Badlands.”
To say Cyberpunk 2077 looks good would be a massive understatement — it looks gorgeous, and not just in screenshots and heavily-edited trailers. In newly-released, mostly uninterrupted gameplay footage (see that below), Cyberpunk’s visual fidelity still holds up, a point that has been further backed up by the many hands-on impression articles that have hit the web this afternoon.
Indeed, the lighting is especially impressive, looking almost photorealistic in certain areas. We wouldn’t be surprised if Nvidia’s RTX technology is being used in at least some of these shots.
In terms of gameplay, as we’ve known for a while, Cyberpunk 2077 features a complex character creation system where you can select your body type (and either a male or female voice to go with it), customize fine details of your face, tweak your genitals, and select a “Lifepath” (a background) for your character.
