Cyberpunk 2077 Concept Art Reveals Styles Players Can Adopt In-game

Cyberpunk 2077 Concept Art

CDPR just revealed some new concept art of Cyberpunk 2077. These images show the different styles that players can adopt in the game. Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of character customization. It seems that the character style is going to be another aspect of character customization. Let’s look at the different character styles that can be adopted in the game.

Since we got the new trailer at E3 2019, CD Project RED is more vocal about the game and is giving out more details than ever before. We still have not seen the E3 2019 demo. CDPR has confirmed that it will be released to the public at PAX. If you did not see the demo at E3 2019 then you will have another chance at PAX, when it is released to the public.

Cyberpunk 2077 Concept Art And Character Styles

The following is the concept art that CDPR has revealed and the different styles that you will be able to choose in Cyberpunk 2077:

ENTROPISM

This concept art is described as follows by CDPR:

The look of poverty that derives from humans grappling with and struggling against technology and its unforgiving advance. It denotes a lack of design blending with a general poverty of means and ideas.

KITSCH

This concept art is described as follows by CDPR:

The look of a long lost golden age on people entirely unwilling or unable to forget it. It’s flashy, bold and usually cheap – filled with gold-plated cyberware, implants encased in brightly colored plastic and larger-than-life makeup.

NEOMILITARISM

This concept art is described as follows by CDPR:

The look of global conflict and corporations jockeying for power. Cold, sharp and modern. Making everyone look as if they are ready to drop out of an AV’s cargo door and head straight into combat.

NEOKITSCH

This concept art is described as follows by CDPR:

The look of infinite wealth and vanity. Synonymous with luxury, it has been blossoming among Night City’s wealthiest elites – those who can afford to buy anything, who can afford to be anything they want to be.

The styles will define your outlook Night City. It would be interesting to see if adopting a certain style has any gameplay benefits. Can using the “NEOKITSCH” style help you get into exclusive hot spots? It would be an interesting mechanic.

CDPR is working on releasing the game to PC, PS4 and Xbox One but Cyberpunk 2077 could get enhancements on Xbox Scarlett and PS5. Interestingly, the E3 2019 demo PC that was running the game cost more than $4200 and was only able to run the game at 30 FPS.

$4200 Cyberpunk 2077 Demo PC Could Only Manage 30 FPS

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated games party due to Keanu Reeves. But the public only got to see a CGO trailer at E3 2019. CD Project Red Showed Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demo at E3 2019 behind closed doors. Many details leaked later on and some are extremely surprising.

Reports have revealed that the Cyberpunk 2077 demo PC used an Nvidia Titan RTX and an Intel 8700K. I am sure that CDPR wanted the high-end hardware in order to power the demo but the thing that worries me is that even with all that hardware, the demo was reportedly running at 30 FPS.

The FPS dropped from time to time. You can check out the complete leaked Cyberpunk 2077 specs of the $4200 demo PC are:

Cyberpunk 2077 Specs – Gameplay Demo PC

  • CPU: Intel i7-8700K (clocked @3.70GHz)
  • Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I GAMING
  • RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V, 2x16GB, 3000MHz, CL15
  • GPU: Titan RTX
  • SSD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 PCIe
  • PSU: Corsair SF600 600W

We got a demo of the game back in 2018. That specific demo was using the following hardware:

  • CPU: Intel i7-8700K
  • Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming
  • RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws, V 2x16GB, 300MHz, CL15
  • GPU: GeForce GTX 1080Ti
  • SSD: Samsung 960 Pro 512 GB M.2 PCIe
  • PSU: Corsair SF600 600W

CDPR is known for optimizing games for console hardware in the past with games such as The Witcher 3. Looking at these specs I am not sure how the experience on console will be like since PC is hacing a hard time here. Cyberpunk 2077 is a year from its release date so CD Projekt RED has plenty of time to optomize the experience. It is possible that the PC demo was an older build that isn’t optomized yet.

CDPR has confirmed that it is interesting in porting the game to Xbox Scarlett and PS5. The devs are concentrating on releasing the game on PC, PS4 and Xbox One right now. We will have to see whether CDPR will enhance the game for PS5 and Xbox Scarlett.

Earlier CD Projekt RED introduced Ray-tracing to Cyberpunk 2077 since PC is a main focus.

Let us know what you think about the $4200 Cyberpunk 2077 demo PC running the game at only 30 FPS and whether or not you think this could be a bad sign.

Cyberpunk 2077 Could Get Enhancements On Xbox Scarlett And PS5

CD Projekt Red took things to a whole new level by adding Keanu Reeves to Cyberpunk 2077. Seeing him at E3 2019 was the cherry on top. Microsoft announced that the Xbox Scarlett will release in the fall of 2020. Cyberpunk 2077 will release on April 16th, 2020. With that in mind, will Cyberpunk 2077 will get any enhancements on Xbox Scarlett and PS5?

Cyberpunk 2077’s lead quest designer Pawel Sasko talked about the matter. He mentioned that right now the team is working on releasing the game for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. He did mention that Xbox Scarlett and PS5 ports are under consideration for the future. The following is what he had to say in this regard:

Right now we’re focusing on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One but obviously, in the future, we’d probably like to have Cyberpunk 2077 on the next platforms. But that’s really a matter for the future, to be honest. Right now we’re focusing on these.

Sasko mentioned that the Xbox One and PS4 are pretty old. CDPR is trying to get the most out of them. If you want to experience the game as it is shown in the trailers then you will need a high-end PC. Sasko also mentioned what CDPR has learned from making The Witcher series. He talked about how consoles should not be neglected. The following is what he had to say in this regard:

One of the things we learned with The Witcher 3 was, you should not delay working on the console versions, ever. So at all times, we have a version running for everything. And of course, the high-end version we’re showing running it is completely different to the consoles, the current-gen is starting to get old. So there’s some things which won’t look as crisp. But the important thing to us is it will be fluid, it will play on your machine. There are limitations for any given hardware, that’s a natural thing. But we’ll do everything we can to squeeze as much as we can.

From what Cyberpunk 2077 lead quest designer Pawel Sasko has mentioned, it is more than likely that the game will get enhancements on Xbox Scarlett and PS5. If that is the case then you could get a high-end PC experience on a console. The graphics and gameplay on the next generation consoles could be on par with what we have seen in the official trailers and gameplay footage.

Now that the release date is public CDPR has started opening up about the Cyberpunk 2077. The devs have confirmed that you will be able to customize your character in different ways. Not only can you pick an origin story but you can also customize cyberwear. Cyberwear can give you unique abilities such as double jump.

Weapon customization is also possible. You can add silencers and extended magazines to your weapons. Different weapons will have different slots. CDPR has also confirmed that Keany Reeves has a major role to play in the game. Players will form a relationship with him depending on the choices that they make in Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of hype around it right now and it deserves it. Let us know what you think about the game and whether you want enhancements for the Xbox Scarlett and PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077.
