yep- he looks the same in the leaked pictures and is real PIMP!

There's no doubt in my mind that Kojima would hit the streets on that, it looks like Kaneda's bike in Akira.

good catch- I knew that bike looked familiar.  So far the film influences (or look alike) I've seen are : blade runner, BR 2049, 5th Element, Total Recall, minority report, Elysium, Akira, and definitely some more.  Also Deus Ex.

+ robocop.  that janky Araska mechwarrior looks like it's taken directly from it

+Judge Dredd.  V's apartment complex looks like it's taken directly from the film and Megacity 1

+portions of the city look like Ghost in the Shell, also the mini robots

+ graphical jank/style and features give Fallout vibes

+terminator

I've scanned through several hours of the game, this game is  visually stunning with great attention to detail.  Among the best looking games ever made.  The story is really good and interesting.

I watched one side mission involving rescuing a guy cornered in a hotel by gangsters.  Just like in Witcher, even this little side mission was well-written and thought provoking.

unpatched game is quite graphically unpolished with lots of little glitches like weapons floating around in the air, faulty animations, and noclip with NPCs.

common comment - a large number of bugs

There's a very minor Ciri/Witcher 3 easter egg in Act 1.  Hopefully they put Ciri in the game.

Pan-Am was an airline that went defunct in the 1980s.  I think this is a Blade Runner easter egg.

Another aesthetic influence I can see is the cyberpunk film "Demolition Man".  Also the large number of vending machines with weapons and upgrades reminds me of Bioshock.  The intro scene to Corporate seems to be influenced by both Bioshock and Blade Runner.  There are also a lot of arcade boxes, reminds me of my childhood.

the 102nd trailer:

   confirmed romance options are Judy and Meredith.

Panam- probably and the blue hair BR 2049 girl & Misty/Triss from Blade Runner are possible.  The blue hair girl is the best looking of the bunch lol.  I don't like Judy and Meredith.  Panam and Misty are OK.

Witcher 3 had much better looking female characters.

@Enrico_sw  what do you think of the Cyberpunk girls?

So far, they're not my cup of tea, but I haven't seen much. I've just watched the official videos and some youtubers I trust (but they can't release footage of the game, they have legal obligation to wait until the 10th).

I want my damn game code............... GameStop hurry up!

I never really buy any games from them, but I had a gift card.

I just want the code so I can download the game while I'm asleep or at work.

I think I just found female V.  The character customizer should be able to approximate her:

Console

The youtubers are already working on Cyberpunk content.  I scanned the whole main story.  A lot of the pictures and clips that came out during their marketing campaign are from side stories.  The main story doesn't comprehensively cover the gangs and corporations in Night City and numerous sectors are barely entered.  

This is the first careful playthrough on "very hard".  It looks to me that hard or very hard is the way to go in this game.

Cowboy is still my favorite streamer, his playthrough is on "hard"

Let's do this 

doing gang massacres on hard with low levels- extremely bullet spongy enemies, kind of tough

+some side missions

the cyberpunk reddit is starting to unravel when they realize that the game isn't going to end COVID and bring upon the second coming of Christ :
