Did you guys notice this image? I actually pointed it out to my chat during a stream last week as well. Let me know what you think down below!
Has anyone noticed that before any of this.. Keanu Reeves was an almost identical character in a very similar movie with an exactly the same story line..
Called..
Johnny Neumonic
@@jimsus69 Haha going off the top of my head that's also played by Keanu right lol
@LayedBackGamers exactly 😆 I think he secretly wanted to be called John, instead of Keanu 😆
But who would've remembered him without his unusual name?
I certainly wouldn't.
It's like Neo. A very unusual name
But yeah I grew up in the 90s and the movie Johnny mnemonic is basically exactly the same storyline.
All the best bits were stolen for cyberpunk
It's an image from the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG core rulebook.
Jesus is the only way to heaven
Being a good person won’t get you there.
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 ESV
Repent from your sin(disobedience to God) and turn to God and follow Him so that you will be saved
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

“No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 ESV
I can’t see Silverhand as anyone other than Keanu, he did a great job
Definitely agree. I've never understood the complaints a lot of people have about Keanu
+1
Agreed, as someone who loved the source material I can say he brings to life a version of Johnny that's better in character and more developed (especially for the current day audience)
@@LayedBackGamers I personally can understand why some people complaints about developers spent money to some hollywood star instead of game features, mechanics, optimization etc.
But yeah Keanu is great anyway
Probably because this is the only cyberpunk video game that had a large audience, feel the same though, i kinda like original designs being put in as a little easter egg if they dont make it into the game
Keanu Reeves is Johnny Silverhand, just like Robert Downey Jr is Tony Stark. In both cases the casting was perfect.
Agreed choom! Couldn't imagine a different route being taken with Silverhand!
all that's left is Tom Hardy type guy to play as Morgan Blackhand
@@GRR1MN1Ryesss
@@GRR1MN1R bruh i never saw blackhand only heard his name but i always thought he was black 😂
@@GRR1MN1R I've always leaned more on Henry Cavill but Hardy could work too.
I like the original design, but Keanu brings the rockerboy persona to life greatly. Mike said that he sees Johnny with blonde hair , but when he saw it was Keanu, he accepted it. 😃
I personally see the original Johnny as an 80s rockerboy but Keanu's is a legit 2010s rockerboy.
@@Dorei02Keanu certainly is better for the times we live in imo
@captainspaz8465 We will see if Mike and CDPR can approach him and get him interested hopefully. If not, then who else can play Morgan Blackhand?
@@PreferablyPurpleI mean, cyberpunk 2020 is 80's retrofuturism
@@Dorei02you are sorely wrong the 80's were the start of Thrash Metal, which was a reaction to Glam Metal/Fashion. So, Keanu's Johnny is very smilar to 80's rocker (eg. Metallica).
I feel like silverhand would've looked more like Patrick Swayze if they used his original look. Keanu is perfect as him though, he even plays bass plus he's a total icon in general
According to Mike Pondsmith, he envisioned David Bowie as Silverhand. Keanu was a good choice though.
@@SK-bu1ft oh yeah, I read about that, Bowie would’ve been cool to see as well, I wonder if they would’ve de aged him if he hadn’t passed
His og look gives me vibes that his voice would sound like Dante from dmc
@erick-pj4yv I don't see Bowie pulling off the anarcho terrorist vibe though.
Patrick Swayze Silverhand would have been so good..
Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand is like RDJ as Tony Stark. I can't think of Silverhand as anybody else than Keanu. He's just perfect for that role.
I don't even see johnny as keanu, I often forget johnny was modeled after someone, he looks so perfect for his role
The old design fits "the Rocker boy" description but Keanu embodies the hate for corporations and his ideology better
He’s like a little devil on your shoulder. Might say stuff that’ll piss us off. But at the same time he gives you ideas and hints on what to really think about.
Honestly once I learned that Johnny silverhand was based on David Bowie Kiana's performance was perfect. He definitely acted like cocaine era Bowie and I think you nailed it.
There's a great mod that gives Jonny his original hair and clothing but maintains the Keanu voicelines. I've installed it forever ago and never looked back
I've gotta check it out choom!
I have it as well i love keanu but they needed to work with the model more. When you use the mode you realize how emotive johnny is. And it doesnt come across as well with the Keanu model again i think its might be a model rig issue.
@Kessogsasaina That and also Keanu is 40 years old
@@myyoutubeaccountgotsuspend8666 he's actually 59 and turning 60 this year.
@@myyoutubeaccountgotsuspend8666Keanu is 59 years old….
I honestly wish they made that design as another cosmetic for Johnny like they did with that weird kimono look
Keanu makes everything 10 times more badass...
Keanu is a LEGEND. No one could make such a beautiful work.
I have seen many people complain that Keanu broke CDPR budged and he should not be in there. But I think he gave the game better feel and also boosted the hype.
Being a 2020 player for like 15 years left engraved in my mind David Bowie and Billy Idol as the faces of Johnny Silverhand.
Both are good, but I feel that Keanu has definitively brought Silverhand to life in visual form.
Old don't always mean gold. Keanu is just as perfect as Silverhand as RDJ as Ironman, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Kevin Conroy as Batman.
Johnny silverhand is David Bowie.
@@tyreonbooker5304Yeah, both dead.
@@tyreonbooker5304not anymore
Nah, Adam West Batman is OBVIOUSLY the superior one
@@Identity_Theft Most of the world would disagree but they are nothing but opinions so you're right too.
I think Keanu's version of silverhand is good because he is more of a matured and organized but rebelious person
You know, original look does'nt fit with cyberpsycho that made up all of memories you saw and put himself on the wheels not Morgan Blackhand..
but Keanu definitely fits!
and personally I think it was best Keanu Reeves acting and best character that he played as ever!
He wasn’t a psycho, those were lies. Blackhand and Johnny most likely shared the engram, and Johnnys personality being the first was dominant. His memories and hers were mashed up resulting in Johnny genuinely believing the memories because how would he know? He can’t fake a memory, and he wasn’t even aware V and him were sharing minds until quite a while after those memories. With tabletop lore this explanation makes the most sense. Saburo would totally personally talk to Blackhand
@@oldylad its called messiah syndrome..
you see yourself as a hero the one who fixes anything with a mindset superior than anyone and we know johnny is that kind of person
also about Morgan blackhand being in engram
actually it's a good theory but i think they will use
the biggest merc in Cyberpunk Red in a sequel and not
just a cyber ghost who kept down by Johnny's psyche
in back of your mind.
Don't you think he will make good companion or antagonis
in sequel or chapter 3?
by the way johnny is not cyberpsycho
he is.. different.. something like PTSD?
on top of that syndrome i mentioned before i mean!
im sure about syndrome but maybe johnny didn't
Made that memories up at all.. maybe you saw them
Like that! After you can choose dialogue in his memories!!
Keanu made Silverhand's character so good. His voice, tone, and speach pattern along with his abilities to really push the emotion of his characters and hes perfect for the roll of the most kindhearted, asshole Rockstar in the world. Hes a rockstar in real life as well so i feel like the roll really couldn't have fit anyone else better.
Silverhand, Alt, and Rogue all have their Cyberpunk 2020 pics in game.
Keanu was too perfect for Johnny. Over 300 hours and I still get a smile when he goes full rocker boy.
Keanu is honestly one of the few reasons people stuck around during the early days of 2077s release.
Choom, there is no man that can be Johnny Silverhand other than Keanu
Can't imagine an art accurate version of Johnny saying the stuff Keanu does. Just so much of it would feel off even if they gave him a more rocker boy voice actor.
The original looks like he'd be too worried about preserving his pompadour to fight 😂
There's a mod for that, though it looks like a young Kurk Russell.
In game Kerry seems more like OG Johnny.
Has anyone noticed that before any of this.. Keanu Reeves was an almost identical character in a very similar movie with an exactly the same story line..
Called..
Johnny Neumonic
Yeah he’s played like 5 characters names john too
Keanu feels like the true spirit of a rebel for Silverhand
It's perfect, especially since he's played so many cyberpunk roles
Originally, Johnny Silverhand was modeled off of singers like Bono, who was doing a lot protest/societal awareness music about Ireland while fronting U2
That's why art and all its forms is so amazing. All of it is transformative and unique
Especially since this series has been around for so long, you get to see the different iterations, themes, art styles, etc throughout the years
He's breathtaking
I like the original because it captures more of the 80s Billy Idol punk rocker that was originally envisioned. I would have preferred if Cyberpunk had that kind of classic aesthetic
Fun fact Jonny was based on David Bowie and they wanted David to play him in the game but when he unfortunately passed away they didn't know what to do and even wanted to AI him into the game but they sided against it and decided that it would be better to find someone new
I always imagine that old version of Johnny being like. A younger bersion, like him just starting out in Samurai
I love the Keanu design, but I would still love to see a more David Bowie style design like the original one.
I can't see Jonny with a different face
At first I was skeptical with celebrity casing but now I can't imagine any other person filling that role in the game.
Maybe, but he's not a star talent, he's a real actor
Having keanu reeves in a video game is the best thing ever
'Breathtaking!!"
I now view Keanu's betrayal as an older johnny sliverhand.
He totally made the character, can't unsee Keanu as Silverhand
Absolutely, as far as I'm concerned, he is Silverhand now. Don't want any other adaptation unless it's some alternate timeline.
He enbodied Johnny so well he couldnt Be replaced
You can’t beat Keanu he is simply breathtaking
Knowing that Keanu loves to ride motorcycles and even has his own motorcycle company, the image of him as rockerboy just seems to fit in my mind. Especially with his long black hair and unique face.
I love the Keanu look.
"Would you've liked a nobody or Keanu Reeves?"
Well, damn...
Adam Driver
I like Keanu as Johnny Silverhand
I still think they should have/should do an alt skin for Johnny that’s his og appearance from the sourcebooks, but I love Keanu as Johnny
Keanu did phenomenal
He`s looks like a main hero from soviet animation "bremen musicians"
I wish I existed in the universe where David bowie didn't die in 2016 and lived long enough to fill in the role that was built around him
That is a younger silverhand from the early 2000s when samurai was still a band. Johnny silverhands construct is his appearance the moment he died
Keanu is the most humble person that ever lived on this planet.
Johnny's a real douch in CP 2077 first, but then I got to like him and and things like this usually never happen for me.
I'm glad Keanu was a part of the awesome experience and story that CP 2077 was for me. He really knows what makes a good story and what's worth putting his face to display for.
Thank you Keanu and CDPR! ❤
Ngl the 2020 guidebook makes him look more like Kerry
That background tune gives me chills every time
Keanu looks more like a punk rock musician and original Johnny looks more like a lost Modern Talking member.
Johnny silverhand can't be other person, Keanu is the perfect actor for him
Keanu is Johnny cant be no one else
Still regret not getting the physical copy of this game when it came out. Missed out on some cool things that came with it
Cool detail. First video I've seen on Cyberpunk details I actually haven't seen before.
While not all my content is completely unique, I definitely try to hit information that hasn't been before choom!
You can find the same picture at his "grave".
Honestly the og silver hand looks like a roll keanu would have taken a few decades ago
Honestly before Cyberpunk i never wouldve imagined Keanu Reeves as a rebellious rockerboy/terrorist, but now i cant imagine anyone else playing Silverhand other than Keanu
I like to think that Johnny’s appearance in 2077 is what he was wearing during the Night City Holocaust, and all the memories we play through and see his reflection is just what V thinks he looks like.
keanu does a great a job everytime
This is my favorite thing he has ever acted/voice acted as, I ONLY saw him as silverhand and no one else
Keep in mind that the original design was made in the 80’s/90’s and is representative of the visual style they had of the future in those days.
I think he fit perfectly at some point I forgot he was even Keanu his acting and plot towards the story really felt real for a sec
Jhonny silverhand sounds alot like jhonn wick
I don't think anyone could play Silverhand better than Keanu now
2020 Silverhand looks like an 80's rockerboy, I think it's better.
I need to verify this, but I once heard that 2020 Johnny was inspired by David Bowie, so it would fit near perfectly.
personally i see Billy Idol as Johnny an actual og bromley contingent punk that became a rockerboy and even has an album called cyberpunk. The biggest aesthetic issue i’ve had with cyberpunk was the 2023 flashbacks because everything looked exactly the same as 2077. You could write it off as johnnys memories misrepresenting everything but i definitely think it should have looked like the 80’s sourcebook. As for Johnny the keanu look definitely fits for an older post alt is dead johnny. heartbroken that saka took something he valued the most, ran with the aldecaldo’s, samurai is broken up and he’s in his 30’s. His look matches the tower raid pretty well he just doesn’t have a beard in the sourcebook
originally, Mike Pondsmith envisioned David Bowie playing the part, which would of be so cool! unfortunally he passed away in early 2016 so it never happened :(
I never noticed this although i have seen this image of johnny somewhere else. It pretty cool.
Original silverhand looks like Patrick Swayze
Keanu’s a perfect fit for Silverhand’s character but it would’ve been nice to get an alternate skin for him that makes his appearance more lore accurate
his hair is just down, it definitely looks like keanu
I’m of the belief that Johnny Silverhand may be the best performance Keanu has given and one of the best in game performances I’ve ever seen. He was fantastic.
I know this but didn't detail it thanks for the info! Chooms
I just finished phantom liberty so that puts me at about 89 hours on my og save and after all that time with Johnny it feels like Johnny Silverhand is the actor who plays keanu reeves
Nah Keanu is just perfect. I can't picture anyone else being johnny.
Lets hope for George Clooney as Blackhand next!
david bowie was supposed to voice johnny silverhand but then he died before they could get him
Now if Keanu did an awesome job as Jonny Silverhand than who would be the best pick to play Morgan Blackhand
According to Mike Pondsmith, it would be George Clooney. That's at least how he envisions his appearance
when he appeared in the game for the first time, I felt a little strange and odd seeing him, but as the story progressed, i can't see anymore flaws, he fit his character so well, Keanu is legend
Keanu literally deserves an Oscar because of this game him and v mesh so well (pun intended)😂
I didn't spot that! Well done - there's just so many things to spot
Thanks choom, since this video I've actually found it at several points throughout the map. It's a nice little detail to look our for while playing!
Theres also a article about johnny next to the cat in the beginning of the game lol deathwish uses it as a bed 🤣🤣
And i feel like keanu is the perfect fit for johnny im waiting for him to be just thinking he looks like keanu reeves real mind twist is he look like the concept art 🤣💯
Keanu Reeves had too much fun with it for anyone to dislike his character
I get an Adam Driver vibe. He'd have been great too.
I’ve been spoiled by the Xbox version of Johnny, but for the record, I think Keanu did an excellent job.
Those newspaper clippings show up all over the place, but that’s a quick place to find it
There's also a mod which changes Johnny's outfit/hairstyle to this image (well either this image or the image during the 2023 tower raid) while keeping Keanu's face. Feels like the best of both worlds IMO
I feel like that's just a cartoon/artist's interpretation of Johnny. The real Johnny is how we see him in 2077.
Probably his original hairstyle then changed it and ended up as we see him
Keanu is Johnny!
I heard somewhere that Silverhand's image was rather based on David Bowie. CDPR even thought about using AI to generate his voice for game.
Keanu slayed it, man. And though I never installed that mod where his model replaces a joytoy, and have no interest; I can't help but applaud his response to it.
Dude definitely embraced the game's story and themes, and i dunno if it'd be the same without him.
Safe to say, his iteration of Johnny Silverhand won't be Fading Away anytime soon.
Though I've heard that David Bowie was supposed to be him, and man, that woulda been crazy.
Johnnys the man
Keanu is literally perfect for Silverhand
I wish the alt costume for him at least was closer to the OG
