This is all in-game.
Yeah, astonishing that she only just found out how gorgeous this game is
What do you mean just?! I "just" learned there were stories in games like 6 months ago! I think my learning curve has been pretty good!
@@HannaHsOverInvested he’s talking about cyberpunk 2077 graphics, the final product only got revealed for less than a month
@@HannaHsOverInvested That's the problem with the world today. Or well, one of them. People still think that 'gamers' are just kids sitting in their rooms playing Tetris all day.
game turned out to be shit only the story is good rest sucked
It's actually adorable how she thinks that all of those are cutscenes... both trailers she watched are all actual gameplay sequences. And yet she thought they were cinematics. Yes, the game looks that good. Better than most contemporary games.
Vaguely condescending
I mean, of course it is, most expect some level of media literacy from a content creator@@koraegi
@@QuibblaShes not just a content creator, she is also a writer. A writer with 0 media literacy.
Hannah: "The more I see, the less I know"
Thus begins the path to true wisdom.
hahaha indeed.
Hannah: "I want to know inappropriate questions about the technical advancements to your body?"
CD Projekt: "The answer is yes, all of it".
But is the functionality there... like is it actually better???? haha
@@HannaHsOverInvested it’s about how you use it
There's a cyber-enhancement called "Mr Stud" soooo.... 🙂
@@HannaHsOverInvested I don't know for sure. But my assumption is that by noon tomorrow, twitter will be flooded with screenshots of cybernetically enhanced "areas". So we'll just have to wait and see.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Fun fact about cyberpunk: customazable PP size
1) Girl.... You must start playing games. RPG games are just created for you.
2) Character creation... Well like a kid I liked to created my self but now I just creating the biggest scarred monsters ever.
Yeah, "don't wanna play" sounds a bit bizzare considering how much amazing shit there is.
true that. She would love it. Good games are the future of "books" if you can immerse yourself.. damn at some games wich are deep story driven i couldnt even hold back some tears.
"How much of this is what inside the game looks like"
All of it. That whole trailer was all in game footage and graphics.
"Do you guys make versions of you or totally different people."
Personally I make a totally different character. Games for me are about escapism so it's generally more fun to come up with a chacter that I can play as rather than self inserting myself in there (though generally all my characters do at least have elements of me in them). There are people that make themselves, as well as people who just mess around and see how weird of a character they can manage to make, though I couldn't see what the statistical split is between the different approaches. I'd guess it's fairly even between self and other though with a side offshoot of the "how goofy can I make them" kind of people.
"Innapropriate questions about the technical advancements to your body"
So in the Cyberpunk world enhancements do extend below the belt shall we say. There are cybernetic enhancements in the lore called Mr. Studd and Midnight Lady which are exactly what you would think. It also extends further and often darker for how a hyper technological world handles issues of sex. For example the world features what are referred to as dolls which is where a sex worker gets implants which allow them to delve into the clients mind give them exactly what they want and then at the end the workers memories of all of that is erased so they they don't remember any of what they learned about the person or what they did. Which has it's obvious benefits but at the same time you can likely see the ways that could be abused which is a common theme of the games world and how it showcases technology.
Technology in Cyberpunk is all about that blend of how much power and capability it brings to people but also in all the ways it can be abused and misused. It kind of reminds me of a line from a game I love called Red Dead Redemption 2 "We can have fire, and we can have the knowledge of fire, but with that comes the knowledge of everything". You can't pick and choose what aspects you get. Any kind of advancement naturally comes with the good and the bad and in Cyberpunk's case the advancement of technology is no different.
Interesting! I kind of wonder if any sex related enhancements actually enhance... ya know? I get its a video game but I wonder if this would actually function as intended.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I honestly doubt they will go into too much detail with it but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some alternate dialouge lines in a couple scenes depending if your character has that type of cyberware or not.
First they invented fire. Then they burned people at the stake.
First they forged a knife. Then they taught a surgeon how to use one to save lives.
It can go both ways.
Hanna: Could You be friends instead?!
Me:... Is hacking into someones brain close enough?
I wish i could hack jackie back to life
I always make a completely different person, never myself.
"That's why we play games" - Yep *Thumbs up*
hahaha yes.
3:57 everything 😄
REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@@HannaHsOverInvested I know this is old, but there's actually a side story centered around a person who bought a black market version of a special cybernetic enhancement for their, let's say, nightlife. Problem is the enhancement they picked up was recalled a while back because it was prone to overheating and malfunctioning. You wind up driving him to the hospital while he screams his head off about how much pain his "son" is in.
Game of Thrones books are similar: each chapter is written in a different character's prospective. So, when an interviewer asked George R.R. Martin who did he want to be in Game of Thrones' world, George said "I am already all of them."
In most games where the player is expected to make moral choices that effect the plot progression, on my first play through I usually try to make a version of myself, and then try to play through the game, making the choices on my own moral framework, and seeing the results that accomplishes. It's fun to explore how one's moral framework "works" in more extreme situations outside of the societal environment that has moved us in to the morality we currently hold. A second time going through the game, I'll often make a new character with their own morality and decision framework to optimize my "fun" while playing the game.
The fact the HannaH wasn't able to tell the difference between cut scenes and in game visuals, is a testament to how amazing Cyberpunk looks and plays. Even 3 years later, this is one of the finest looking games out there. In the words of Mr.Reeves, "breathtaking".
Truly a masterpiece (now that it's working as intended hah).
I've been playing cyberpunk all day. It's by far one of the best games I've ever played and I've barely even scratched the surface of what is possible in this game
Don't forget to sleep and eat and stuff 😅😅
@@HannaHsOverInvested Thanks! Lol. Love your reaction to these videos, cant wait to see your other cyberpunk reactions!
I've got over 500 hours in game. Got all but one of the endings.
The cello player is Tina Guo, amazing musician and I really recommend you to search for her work on TH-cam... Her videos are out of this world!
I make an idealized version of me, me at my best :) Everything you saw is how the game looks like when you play, with slightly better graphics in cutscenes, where you only control your dialogue options, but still the same models, just a little bit more detailed and it switches seamlessly in between those. There is no distinction. You could definitely be a voice actor/motion actor, you have both the voice, announciation and expressiveness required :)
And - on top of that - CD Project Red actually invited a number of youtubers to appear in the game, for example Alanah Pearce (twitter.com/Charalanahzard/status/1306669881505411073) which means it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility.
Can you imagine! Non-gamer in games hahahahaha
@@HannaHsOverInvested A lot of actors in games aren't gamers. That isn't required to do their job of being an actor. :)
@@HannaHsOverInvested Although if you were to play a game, this would be the one. You can set the difficulty to something super easy and just focus on the story and decision making of the game, which is really the main focus anyway. I think a lot of people see scenes of shooting and driving and compare it to something like grand theft auto, but it definitely isn't that. It is a story driven RPG first and foremost.
@@ReivecS yeah from early impressions most have said the game focuses far more on story than it does combat and there are ways to often avoid combat altogether if you want to be a pacifist.
"I wanna know... inappropriate technical questions about the advancements to your body." Yes. Yes you can. Well, lore wise. In universe you can get a Mr. Stud enhancement, or the female equivalent, but in game this isn't a thing you, as the player, can get, sadly.
Sadly?
Sadly. I want a giganto penis with vibration function and the flamethrower attachment! @@VoidCosmonaut
When using other companies character creators I tend to just try and make something that looks cool. Having appeared in a game it is definitely neat to see your exact face (and then shoot it). I think most people initially try to make themselves though.
I wonder how difficult it is to make an exact model of someone. Maybe they used scans and lots of images. I have no idea what is the technique.
@@Ragnar452 to make an exact model of someone there are two methods. One would be facial scanning like we did on Just Cause 4. You can either do this using a series of photographs or using an actual 3D large form scanner. The other method would be to hand sculpt the likeness of the person. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Scans can sometimes be stuck in a particular expression if the person being scanned makes one during the process and it isn’t caught. Meanwhile hand sculpting will usually result in a more neutral look but also one that is just a little “off”. Usually an error in eye shape or feature ratio.
@@Ragnar452 I made two hundred head scans for Just Cause 4. Each scan was created from twenty photos of a living person. Then that data has to be cleaned up, made game res, retextured and then made to fit the standardized body for the game so that heads can be swapped in and out. It’s a long process, took us several months. And then we had to make all the clothing and other accessories.
@@TA3DArtist Thank you for the details. Sounds interesting.
so interesting!
"A Scanner Darkly" was done with digital rotoscopy. I little different, they basically animate over each frame of a live action recording. More like painting than puppetry.
The game comes out in like 7-8 hours? it's december 10th for Europe since CD Project Red is in Europe.
Oh thats nice for the gamers in my part of the world I guess.
Midnight release. Though I think PC and Stadia get it at 7pm tonight instead of midnight like on consoles.
I'm pretty sure most if not all studios schedule the release time for the US market since it'll be the biggest 1st day market. Even though China is a bigger market, their laws are a lot stricter in terms of what can be depicted so often the release there is delayed a lot longer so that companies can censor the base game.
I clicked this one super fast.
Thanks for the shout out.
ALL this is from the game, this is how playing looks like, as "too good to be true" as it looks it's all how playing it looks like.
As for the characters, I sometimes create someone in my image and other times I create characters that are nothing like me (different gender, different skin colour, personality/physique completely different to mine, etc.).
I know there's a lot of shooting in the gameplay trailer but you can actually finish the game without killing a single person.
As for the choices in the game, they are so significant that depending on your early choices you may or may not have an access to numerous missions and it completely changes the final outcome.
So complex!! I would try for the not killing people route hahaha
Usually they tend to write in the title what kind of a trailer you're watching. If it's a cinematic trailer, then it's CGI animation, and it has nothing to do with what you actually see in the game. When it's called gameplay trailer (like the one you watched with the narration), then it's all gameplay footage. So in that trailer everything you saw is exactly how it appears in the game.
Thank you!
Unless you’re Ubisoft
"How much of this is what the game looks like?" ALL of it!
Haha I cant help but smile when I watch your enthusiasm as you're absorbing stuff from the videos you're watching.
Your energy is very infectious in a good way! Keep it up!
Now to answer one of the questions you asked, which I havent seen anyone answer yet...In Scanner Darkly they did not use motion capture, instead they're using an older technique called Rotoscoping, where they film it with live actors, and then draw on top of the images to give it that cartoon/drawn look you see in the film.
This is just another beauty of games and im glad I was introduced to games cause it gave me capacity for stories in general more so then books and boom then I find my self having patience and endurance for reading books. I gots to say it's great seeing you dive into gaming depths and the builds in more focus
This is true for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077: They are amazing games in my opinion (although Cyberpunk still needs work) but the best aspect of these games by CDPR is by far the music. Which means a lot since i binged Cyberpunk for 11 hours on release day only.
This game was released almost 3,5 years ago but it is by far the best looking game on max settings and it also delivers great story and gameplay.
I've always found it odd how someone can be so enthusiastic about the things they're seeing from a particular medium, yet show absolutely no desire to engage with it themselves. Video games contain some of the best stories ever written with some of the best and most well-realized characters you'll ever see - the difference being that with video games, your own choices often have a major effect on both. Such is why I prefer video games over books or movies; I can have an impact.
As a writer, you would benefit beyond belief from experiencing these stories & interactions yourself. True, if you've never really touched a complex video game before or haven't done so in many years, it can take a fair bit of time to acclimate and get used to the standard conventions of the industry. But given that gaming is the largest and most profitable entertainment medium on the planet by literal lightyears, there really isn't any reason not to at least dip your toes in the vast ocean of available titles.
I've watched a large number of your videos and it always makes me smile as you stare wide-eyed and astounded at what you're seeing. Clearly there's some major interest on your part, so what is stopping you?
I guess you haven't watched some of my more recent ones. The things that have stopped me in the past have been time, general knowledge, it's very intimidating. And I'm afraid that I'll hate it. It. I'm really bad at being bad at things and if I'm bad at gaming I will hate it for that reason alone. So fear of that. I am going to try though. I've been mentioning that more recently in my videos that I am hoping to start in April. That's my plan.
I'm in school right now and really busy, April is a month off so I figure that's the moment for me to try and figure out this new thing.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I have probably missed your more recent stuff, yeah. But regardless, I'm glad to hear that you're planning to give games a shot.
I did figure that the intimidation factor would be a major part of it. As mentioned in my original comment, video games are a fun pasttime for those who are familiar, but quite time consuming for people who aren't. There is indeed a few barriers to entry (cost, learning, etc.), but once you get over those, it's likely to be your new favourite hobby.
The most important first step, in my opinion, is finding a game you can settle into. One that eases you into it's gameplay, but then proceeds to challenge you on the things it has taught later down the line. This is, truthfully, easier said than done, because a lot of games nowadays expect you to have a preconcieved notion of how games work, the standardized controls for each video game genre, etc.
Needless to say, I'm looking forward to April and watching you overcome these obstacles. My original comment came from a place of passion for industry and the knowledge that you would get so much benefit from playing games as a writer, so I hope it didn't come across too blunt or rash.
If you're looking for some advice or recommendations, feel free to get in touch.
"Do you play versions of you in the game or totally different people?"
I sometime make a "me", sometimes I play a not "me".
I'm still going through my first play through of Cyberpunk right now. When I was making my character it started as someone who looked like me (a straight, pasty white dude), but I wasn't feeling it. I jumped over to a female character creation to see what the options were like, LOVED the female voice way more than the guys and made a bad-ass lesbian, ex-corpo, katana and pistol-wielding, ninja-hacker. And I'm loving the character.
As an aside, you randomly popped up in my feed and I have been binging your reactions. Loving them. AND you're CANADIAN!
I'm going to have to check out your books. Urban Fantasy settings are my kind of thing.
I think you should do a mini-series of watching someone play this game, I think you and us as viewers would really enjoy that. This game is very story-heavy you're supposed to get really invested and emotional over the character you make and the people you'll interact with. And 2077 is one of the best type of story-driven games that actually give different outcomes based on the answers you give in the game. It's basically a "Choose your own adventure" novel, but with visuals and sound to go with it.
You might be able to try making your own character in the game if they have a demo available.
That sounds like something I'd be into. I think id really enjoy being a side seat gamer 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like not actually doing anything but cheering and choosing a little.
Holy shit, your style & way of writing is exactly the same as mine, even where you associate music with a character & scene. When I first began writing my stories & novels, I wrote by what I thought the “world” sounded like, I.e. I let music drive my pencil. It feels great. Also I’ve done a half-finished series where every book (12 books) has a different protagonist with their own stories but in the end, they all live in the same universe & their own stories ultimately ties into the main arc of the entire series. There’s a beginning & an end, and every individual story tied into the ultimate end. And I re-use my characters a lot, so book 1 will have these characters and then book 6 shows these same characters again and so on and it just feels great honesty. The thing I do though is that in the entire series, there is one character that you can consider the main protagonist of the universe, as every protagonist of every book is tethered to this main protagonist who we meet first in books 1 - 2. Great video btw! I LOVE your enthusiasm to storytelling and learning! Also that mask edit at the end of your video was super dope
One thing to note is that almost all games use ingame cutscenes now adays to one extent or another. Which basically means they use the same engine that is creating the gameplay models and such to create the cutscene. So it looks identical to gameplay(And basically is still gameplay since its doing this on the fly in the game without pre-rendering, just story time for the game). Cinematic Cutscenes are the ones as someone else mentioned that are pre-rendered and don't use the ingame graphics engine.
Thanks for the info!
I've been a Mike Pondsmith, the original Cyberpunk game writer and a contributor to this, fanboy since the early years. He commented when asked about how close the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG dystopian vision was close to the 2020 reality, he stated something to the effect that he "wrote it as a warning, not a prophecy". The idea of the Cyberpunk universe is to present a dark reflection on what our world of focussed greed, techno-fetish and exploitation will become if unleashed without constraint, the answer is deadly, dark and horrifying. Sadly since the mid-90's when I fell in love with the genre until now, we as a global society have steadily slipped down this exact path.
Hi! I'm, like you, an early Cyberpunk 2020 fan. Played (or should I say mastered) the TTRPG a lot in the nineties and I remember how different our 90s' IRL world and CP2020 were back then. And how this difference almost disappeared with years/decades passing until nowadays. Corporations taking power over the governments, the fusion between mankind and technology, criminality and violence's growth... I couldn't agree more with your last sentence.
You are the first person I've ever heard express that they'd like to just learn and take lessons if they were rich. I love that, because I'm much the same. I'd spend the rest of my days absorbing as much knowledge as possible taking all kinds of classes.
Right!
I'm male, but usually play female characters, because I would rather see footage and hear a female voice if I am spending over 100hrs with them.
Interesting point about one book for every character as that is basically what the WH 40K Horus Heresy novels did. Downside is that there are now like 55 of them, with very varying quality...
A Scanner Darkly was not made with motion capture. It was made by filming it like a normal motion picture then every frame of the film were drawn over by artists to create its realistic looking style of animation.
love your enthusiasm. spending time with you is a treat.
Thank you so much! That is so kind.
"Never Stop Away " is never too loud...it's too beautiful...every time ehh
Fun fact: Keanu Reeves recorded more lines for Cyberpunk 2077 than his entire career!
that is a fun fact!!
It's almost inevitable that he sounds a bit bored at times - love him and the game before you dog-pile
I would really like to see you put together a Cyberpunk cosplay, I think it would look amazing. I am so pumped for this game! been a fan of Pondsmith since the 80's!
Hmmmmm googling cyberpunk cosplay now.
Considering you're more of a gamer now, you totally.. TOTALLY, need to give Cyberpunk 2077 a playthrough. OMG you wouldn't regret it. It's got great gameplay, great music/OST, great lore, and a phenomenal story. It's one of the most beautiful and well written pieces of entertainment that I've experienced in a long time.
All the footage of the first trailer is all in game
These cyberpunk trailers were dreaming, but it was just a dream ...
I've been binging your videos with my boyfriend and we both love your personality and positivity! Thank you
Awwww that's so sweet! Thank you!
Just when I thought you couldn't be more amazing, you drop this....love it! I make a character I play as.
100% is all in-game real time, CD Projekt RED have stated they don't want traditional cutscenes that you sit and watch, instead the events happen around you while you're playing
Been waiting for this game for 8 years. The hype is real, with the release tonight at midnight UTC
when I play games where you can customize yourself I usually try to loosely create myself. I think a lot of people do that. but at the same time a lot of people like you make "new" people and role play as that person and make choices based off that persons ideals (as in not their own, like if you're a nice person being mean and cruel or out going or anywhere in-between.
We (or at least my friend group) play games so we can "live" alternate lives we wouldn't be able to or even WANT too outside of the game. Heck no I'm not going to be a Merc and run head first into gang's stronghold against cybernetically enhanced dudes but give me multiple "lives" so I can have fun doing it and you got me hooked.
To answer your first question, in most of these kinds of games, I have a tendency to go with the default character. For instance, in the Mass Effect series, I went with the default character Shepard look. In a game that doesn’t have a default character, I create a character that looks as similar to me as possible. I don’t know if that’s typical of what other people do though. Anyway, I’m so pumped for Cyberpunk! Thanks for doing a reaction vid!
Unrelated, have you read Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn Trilogy? I started reading it a while back and recently started getting back into it, and I’m loving it so far.
I have heard a lot about mistborn but haven't started yet. I have been just so disappointed with super popular books recently that I'm a little apprehensive.
The way it usually goes in role playing games is you start by making a character a lot like yourself but more badass but then after a while you start making people wildly different.
its 4am i canNOT stop watching your videos
Unfortunately they outright lied in the trailers. None of your choices end up mattering and almost all of the features they're talking about ended up in the game. They released trailers promising this stuff right up until the release of the game so they're probably going to get sued unless they can scramble to start implementing this stuff. We'll see.
The sad part is, Keanu Reeves' involvement likely derailed the game. It's not his fault but some executive decided that they needed a big name actor involved and it forced the developers to scramble to re-write the story to make him a major part of the game.
So, your question about how much of the gameplay trailer is in game, I played a lot of the game already and I could say at least 80% of it is in game. So it really is a gameplay trailer, unlike other game trailers that used rendered cutscenes as their trailers and said it's a gameplay trailer. However, I would also say that most of what they're showing here in the trailer is like... a playable cutscene if you will. It's scripted dialogue (and choices), setting and npcs, but you can still play and interact with other things in the environment. Sometimes you can even get away from that interaction entirely and derailing the plot, which I thought wasn't possible, but boy did they surprise me.
5:57 personally, in the games like these, that allow character creation, I prefer to create a character that's completely different from myself. Because me IRL is boring and makes boring decisions, I'd rather roleplay as a drunken brawler that emits chaotic energy and shits into people's beds or an evil psycho that shreds people left and right and has no sense of morals. It's more exciting and fun to roleplay as someone else, IMO.
Cool!
Such a beautiful trailer and music! i luv this game 🤗
when there's character customization in-game I definitely try to recreate myself as a way to immerse myself even more :)
and about distinguishing gameplay and cutscenes it can be hard to tell here since it's all mostly in a first-person perspective and there's little to no interface. to be clear - almost everything that you've seen is happening in-game but at some points, the control is taken from the player for a more cinematic impression. for example, that part where they're sliding from a skyscraper is clearly scripted, while all the shooting, fighting, and driving is gameplay.
So cool! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Almost always I make different characters.
Usually I choose to play as female for my first 1-2 runs while I learn the game. After that, I choose a particular attitude of a person I know, either a friend, or myself, and play as if that character, with their behavior was in the world. If that person would have been angry, my response would be angry, if that person is easily frustrated, my character in game will get easily frustrated etc.
I haven't played since the game came out, but after I install 28+ gigs worth of updates I will make a version of you, screenshot it and send it to you.
The lady with the awesome cello is Tina Guo. She's amazing. Her specialty is heavy metal music, but she's classically trained so she has done work doing classical music and anything in between, including cover songs for movie soundtracks like Gladiator.
You need to become a gamer. If you've ever been immersed or emotionally involved in a movie or a TV show as a third-party observer to a point where you get angry when someone does something cruel, cry when a likeable character you've barely known for an hour dies, or jump with joy when the pathetic, pitiful, and unlikely hero finally finds true love... just imagine what one single video game will do in 100 hours of playing it as a first-party participant. Gamers experience things other people can only dream of.
I can really recommend you to watch the Fanfilm "Cyberpunk Phoenix Programm" it's made by the same people that made "Star Wars Darth Maul Apprentice". Really high quality for a Fanfilm.
That sounds GREAT!! can you send me a link on instagram please? 😬😬
Thats actually how the game looks 😂 CD Project Red always to nice games, like Witcher 3, etc...
And I always make Woman in games... With Red hair ._.
Hehe i also always make red womans but im acctualy brunete, maybe I shoud change color it something
Is this a game Triss reference or are you just into gingers?? haha
I always go with Tris... Like I completely ignore Yennifer soooooo... I just like woman with red hair 😂
Hey Hannah, if you wanted a follow up video to do: Run the Jewels released a track for the game called No Save Point and the music video is ALL Cyberpunk stuff 👍
"Do you make versions of you in games, or TOTALLY different people?" I actually tend to make women, if given the choice. Gaming is, um... a bit of a sausage fest when it comes to protagonists. I've been a 20s-30s white dude with brown hair and maybe stubble more than enough, with no choice otherwise.
to answer you question about the very first trailer you watched : the game is like a huge one-shot. The is literally no cutscenes, ni cinematic everything is in the game through the eyes of the main character (or Johnny, when you play though one of his flashbacks).
100% of the launch trailer is in-game, in engine
Cyberpunk is underrated, yes I know it has problems but it’s so damn good when you look past them.
Are we all just gonna ignore that sick mask wipe transition at the end? That was dope! Hahaha
😂😂😂 thanks
The way you talk about writing and whatnot really makes it sound like you would be a fan of the Dragon Age series. The mechanics would be pretty intimidating for someone jumping in totally cold, but narratively it'd be a hit.
OOOOOH I really think it'd be great if you watched stuff about the history of game development and did video on reacting to it!
to answer your question regarding character creation, it's been proven time and again that the vast majority of players will make a character that looks as close to themselves as is possible with the customisation options available, however this trend is seen most commonly in games with only a single character per play through/per account option, when you look at games where you're not locked into a single character and can make multiple characters, after playing the game through the first time with their 'clone' character they will usually go back and create a totally new and unique character that is nothing like themselves sometimes drastically so, it just depends on the type of game and the level of customisation available by the developers of the game for character creation.
Interesting! Thank you!
Fun fact, this game is based off a tabletop role-playing game from the 1990s called Cyberpunk 2020.
2020?!?!?
I make myself and base story/gameplay choices on what I would do in that situation.
Death Stranding do mocap too but more extreme, they got Norman Reedus to be the main character from the looks, voice to his body language. The Director told that Norman Reedus could be making everyday activities like opening up a soda can and he would told Norman to hold the thought, do it again but this time in front of the camera. Peeing? Do it again in front of the camera. At the end we ended up having the whole Norman Reedus as a playable character :v
interesting.
The anxiety inducing instrument that you saw in music video is called a modular synthesizer, it's basicaly a bunch electronics that you can wire in different ways to create and modify sounds in interresting ways. It's is pretty popular among music nerds, it's jst not shown often. Excelent video btw !
Thank you!! Anxiety inducing is right hahahaha
I allways make my picture of what the most badass coolest character would look like, so no way near what I look like ^^
I am not sure if anyone mentioned it in comments, but in game you barely see "yourself" I mean your character, unless you pass a mirror or any other place you can see reflection. It is like in real life fully immersive first person experience. Also supposedly there is no or almost no difference between game play and cut scenes, they are blended seamlessly.
Interesting!!! Thanks!
There is no diference but is not look so good in ps4 😭, anyway still fun, i hope that they fix soon.
There are people who make themselves as they are, in these games, and people who make themselves as they wish they were. Sometimes that last one is an entirely different creature.
wanted to address your question at 6:10 regarding character creation!
So, lots of games allow you to create your own character and customize their appearance. Every game's character creation system is a little different.
The truth is, all in-game character creation menus are limited as to what they can do. As a general rule of thumb, it's very difficult to create a character in a game that has significant resemblance to you in real life. It's not impossible, it's just difficult. Some people do take the challenge; I've also seen people create celebrity lookalikes. For example, if you look up "Dragon Age Inquisition Danaerys", you'll see that a lot of people have made characters in that game with striking resemblance to Danaerys from Game of Thrones. The reason why she in particular is popular for that game is because of the unique features and limitations offered by that game's character creation menu in particular that lend more toward that kind of facial structure.
I personally just make characters that I think look cool/good-looking without worrying too much if they resemble me in real life. A lot of people do something in between, making a cool-looking characters with some features that somewhat resemble them for real, but that still definitely don't look totally alike. It's really whatever you feel like doing, playing video games that offer that feature is fun because it's like playing make-believe.
Some people like to "try" to make themselves but most character creation systems are not that high-end. I personally make almost exclusively make cool looking female characters, the concept of someone not having the muscle power of a man but being a badass warrior etc and taking down everyone who's supposed to be stronger than her is just so much more interesting.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
well actually you can create your character in the game , not buying the game without the need to play - cyberpunk 2077 is based on the tabletop role-playing game cyberpunk 2020 - download a book, it lies in free access in the Internet and make it your character ( if you want) but I personally don't see the point in creating of myself, probably because I play games with dark and depressive worlds where everything is doomed to suffering and constant struggle for survival, cyberpunk such worlds is - he is fierce and grim , why make yourself and condemn yourself to misery ?
haha I get that... I guess I dont intend to be condemned haha
As far as character creation goes, i did make characters that looked like me and acted as i would way back when i began playing roleplay games. That does get boring rather quickly however. Now before i create a character i think about who they are, where they come from and how they would look.
When the game works properly it looks and plays like this. Haha.when playing games like this my first playthrough I make the character look like me. The other playthroughs I'll usually switch it up by making a badass looking character or a female character.
so for you 6:00 question; I make a resident of their world so I can live vicariously through them. I role-play, I am someone else, somewhere else, and I'm in a world my character understands. Its why I play mostly female characters, since I'm not focusing on representing myself in-game, I have the freedom to create whoever, or whatever I want. its why a set male or female protagonist doesnt bother me, and why custom characters are so fun..... that said, writing from the future, the character customization in CP2077 is a bit mixed. Im not terribly thrilled with it, but its fine.
20:37 in regards to the cello, that is Tina Guo playing and she has a instagram presence as well. She has played in SOOOOO many good games, movies, and shows (including the Battlestar Galatica orchestra which is top notch in my opinion). She has a lot of electric cellos that look similar or just crazy off the wall.
Beats, bears, Battlestar Galactica.
@@HannaHsOverInvested She also has a youtube channel, and posts awesome music.

Depending on the different options to customize your character, you could make them look however you like, but some of the older games are more limited in it, with some exceptions. Cyberpunk looks like it has enough options to recreate you facial structure. Personally, i go with what looks the best aestethically :)
Don't worry about it though. I'm sure one of your fans who gets the game will be more than happy to try and make your profile and probably replay the game for your personal enjoyment :)
You're a treat to watch! So funny as well 🤣 but to answer your question bout the character, Firstly yes I will make "myself" then make a character I created and wrote, then random characters i like from other things and see how they would look and maybe act in the game i create them in. So really both!
she is so surprised as if she has never played games and has lived in a cave for the last 6 years ? Oh, shit !
LOL - I'm guessing the "dirty joke" ran along the lines of "I wish your silver hand was in me" ???
Loving the reactions, and would love to read your novels.
Are they available in New Zealand?
I think so but probably online via Amazon? I don't know if it would be in book stores there.
And it was something along those lines....
Keanu looks so badass with the beard, but when he shaves it he looks like a dad making an attempt to be cool in front of his kids.
You mentioned wanting to know how much of the footage was actual in-game... and as far as we all know, literally ALL of it. The game is a cinematic masterpiece already. CDPR took the success they had with the Witcher franchise and exploded their capabilities. Pretty much every serious press review has been an overwhelming positive. By all accounts, they have created an actual living, breathing city that treats you just like you're another off-the-street mercenary.
If you have time, you should watch the 48-minute gameplay preview they released about a year ago. It's an unedited in-game storyline for one single quest, and it gives the most complete picture of what the game world is like to experience.
"Do you make you or someone else?" - Someone else. 500%. I'm me 24/7/365. I'm bored of me. Games like this, Mass Effect, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Dragon's Dogma, Saints Row, and every other game with a character creator let me not just explore a new world, but a new identity. I can craft a back story, a personality, and added something of my own into the experience, rather than just participate in the experience. It's one of the big reasons I love games with character creation.
The sound track is AMAZING!!!
I like to change it up a lot when it comes to custom characters, It depends on a few things. Firstly, which of the male voice or the female voice actors do the better job. Then if the character has an actual character with emotions or is a silent vehicle for the player to make choices. The latter one I'm more likely to create something that looks like myself. Thirdly, how great the customisation options are. If there are lots of options, I'm going to make use of them all even if it doesn't make sense. Also if it's an online game, I feel the need to try to create something more unique than I would in a single player game where I'd rather create something immersive. Some games with customisation have you wear helmets and full body armour so it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time on it. It's all a case by case thing.
To answer your question about what type of character I'd create - I create characters that fit a concept rather than trying to create a version of myself. It's in my nature to do so, as I also write large adventures for D&D games and fill those with a variety of characters with various backgrounds and goals. For me, gaming is about escapism and the creation of characters is a part of that when a game offers me that level of freedom in character creation.
And... then I got to your discussion about character choices and how you'd get to know your characters as a writer and/or actor. So I mentioned D&D - if you haven't tried it, you should, you'd probably love it. I've done a fair bit of writing - nothing at the novel length, but a lot of short stories in the 20-30 page range and I tend to create the characters in my stories in the same what that I come up with characters for D&D. The key to D&D as a creative individual is to find a group that really enjoys the story aspects of the game, as there are a lot of groups that just play it like mashing stat blocks together on a battlefield - if you want to see what D&D can be at the extreme high-end, look up Critical Role, I have the feeling that the author in you would appreciate the creativity involved if nothing else.
For sure! It is super interesting.
I feel like everyone hearts Keanu, I certainly know my Mum does (in not as weird a way as that probably sounds lol)
I think hearting him in any way isn't weird.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I agree, I was merely commenting on my weird phrasing lol
@@HannaHsOverInvested Well, once bodypillows, bedroom shrines and facial tattoos get involved I'd start calling it weird.
I’m not gay, but I heart Keanu. How can you not heart him?? He’s breathtaking. 😉
Why? She probably grew up watching Bill and Ted

That's kind of the point of the game, in-fact. Night City is supposed to be a social and criminal dystopia where scientific process has ironically made the world a much less peaceful place to live in. You might walk INTO Night City with your soul intact, but you'll never walk OUT of Night City without losing a part of your humanity.
All the top players in that city are barely recognizable as human; whether that means grafting metal onto their flesh and soldering foreign tech into their bodies, or being a corporate husk willing to sell their own mother into slavery for a better position in their company. Thus, the city then forces YOU to abandon your humanity in order to simply survive. Whether this means being more machine than man, or being more animal than human, the lesson you are meant to take away from Cyberpunk2077 is that no one walks away from Night City unscathed and unchanged.
The "cyberpunk" theme was invented in the 80's and 90's, and was originally designed as a cautionary tale for the degradation of society that advanced technology and corporate corruption would bring to a disenfranchised urbanite. In no way is this future meant to portray optimism for that of human nature.
Sorry for the big one, but I love this topic.
* Cyberpunk 2077 is a gravy train that needs milked lol. The hype and anticipation for this game, is very equivalent to "once in a lifetime" type movies. I can guarantee you it's going to either break some sales records, or get very close.
* You mentioned Johnny Neumonic, that was written by William Gibson, one of the progenitors of the Cyberpunk genre (He wrote Neuromancer), he was an influence when Mike Pondsmith made the first Cyberpunk table top game, which this new game is based on.
* All of that gameplay trailer, was actually "in game". Sometimes it's obvious "I'm playing the character" play, and sometimes it's a cutscene, where a camera takes over and a scripted event takes place, like a small movie. But it's still "in-game" using the games graphics and art.
* The motion capturing work that you love? Andy Serkis is one of the most experienced and rewarded actors in that field. He's always playing "digital" characters, like Golem from Lord of the Rings, Caesar in Rise of the Apes, you should check out all his movies.
I'd have recommended the 45 minute gameplay trailer, but figured it'd be too long for the format that Hannah's been going for...
Should I link it anyway?
unlike most game companies that make 'cinematic' trailers to hype up their games with unrealistic pre rendered high quality vids, this was all made using assets from the game itself and filmed using mechanics and items all available in the game, sadly there's not many companies that still use this type of promotional material anymore although it might make a comeback thanks to the massive leap forward in graphical rendering and graphics technology in recent years making things more and more realistic in games as a norm instead of being exclusively for the highest end games/systems etc.
Thanks!
