    Am I the only one who thought that the murderous female cyborg looking so sexualized was actually a bit of a subversive jab a consumer culture?

    My thinking was: She's a cyborg. She's made herself this way. She has purposefully and expensively remodeled her body and face into the consumer culture-perfect clubgirl look. A standard of sexual beauty that is as generic as a gallon of milk (you will notice that the girl in the Cyberware advertisement is dressed exactly the same, except in black, or at least very similarly).

    And in doing so, she's made herself into a psychotic killing machine. By buying into that culture she had destroyed herself and others and actually traded being a person for being a thing.

    Basically a consumer culture=death message.

    (I think she looks more emotional and happy with the bullet scar on her face then she did before, but that could probably be explained by a variety of factors)

    It might be present. One of the things seen frequently in most cyberpunk are powerful "megacorporations". Corporations only exist as long as people keep paying them. Which means that a lot of people have been paying these corporations lots of money.

    Consumer culture?

    Oh, yeah.

    Some of the supplements available for Cyberpunk were the "Chromebooks". Chrome, of course, is usually used as a shiny metallic finish to make things look shinier than they otherwise would. And the books are filled with all sorts of stuff you can buy. Some of that stuff is useful. Some of that stuff (such as the crystalline katana that had a light shining up the reverse side to make it look like a laser katana) is pretty much just for cool. They're consumer product catalogues. Buy more stuff. The setting is a world in which you can get just about anything if you've got the money for it (and I do mean *anything*). But the foundation is rotten, and starting to collapse.

    However, I don't think that was an intent of the video creators. Instead it was more of a callback to the info posted on the back of the original Cyberpunk box (yes, the original ruleset came in a box; wish I still had mine...). Talk about glittering cities and people rubbing biosculpt jobs. Then you open the book up and find out that the last bird died from acid rain a few years earlier (there's no date provided, mind you; this tidbit of information is just to get you in the proper frame of mind for the setting). The world looks pretty cool... but only until you stop letting yourself get mesmerized by the bright lights.

    So yeah, hot babe showing lots of leg and with bullet-proof skin. But that same hot babe just slaughtered over a dozen (probably) innocent bystanders, and is getting hunted down by cops with fully automatic weapons. This isn't necessarily such a pleasant place to live.

    The end is presumably after she's undergone some counseling and therapy (an in-setting method to recover some of your Empathy stat that you lost from installing cyberware), and possibly had some of the stuff yanked out of her.

    RPS: Even then, though, there’s still an issue of disempowering someone who seems like a lead female character. Will Cyberpunk be more even-handed in terms of the way it treats gender overall, though? I mean, it looked like she joined the Psycho Squad at the end of the trailer, which puts her in a pretty important place.

    Mateusz Kanik: Even handed? Do you mean that we should do something to someone, who seems (and I stress the word seems) the lead male character? Look, nothing has been confirmed about the character you will play. We really want to tell a story of someone from the street, raised in the gutter, who will than stand up against the system he (or she) lives in. And that’s all you know. If you follow news about the game, you will also know that we want to put a lot of work into character customization. So how you treat your avatar in the game is completely up to you.

    Pretty lame question dodging on the part of Mateusz. "Oh, we made a trailer that just happened to be the latest in a series of 'empowered man dressed in an kickass suit with a gun takes on an underdressed woman portrayed in a sexually vulnerable' manner and suddenly you think our game might not be 100% equal? Don't judge us before you play the game!" As if The Witcher hadn't given you fucking trading cards for having sex with as many women as possible and as if trailers are supposed to be anything other than something for people to obsess over before they have extra information.

    The question wasn't "can you play a male character who has shit happen to him," it was "will the game feature a more even-handed treatment of gender than the trailer" and his answer is "WHO KNOWS?!" Like, seriously dude. Say "yes," "no," or "we haven't decided how much misogyny to put in our game yet." If you want to talk about main characters that's fine but try to also address the question rather than dodging it.

    But then again I guess it's a pipe dream to expect CD Projekt to be worrying about whether its games have evenhanded depictions of women in them. Their #1 priority is probably figuring out how much full frontal female nudity they'll bother working in. The Witcher 2 had a pretty good amount so I wonder if they'll aim to top that.

    I think the guy answered it pretty well. The trailer very obviously plays the "EVERYTHING IS NOT AS IT SEEMS". Hell, it beats you over the face with it, especially at the end.

    It was really kind of an unfair question, because the person asking it assumes the trailer is being sexist in the first place(hint:it's not)

    No one will care about this in a few months or when CB2077 releases. I didn't really care about the "sexist" undertones that Witcher 1 or 2 had, nor will I really ever.

    Does anyone get angry at Robert E. Howard's super violent and very sexualized Conan universe books/movies/games?

    Some of the Conan comics were really awful for that stuff

    Howard's stories were actually pretty progressive in that he had women who were extremely empowered and had their own goals and motives

    They just happened to exist inthe same universe as Conan, but that just threw them into the same light as all the non-Conan men in those stories

The guy doesn't challenge that assumption, he just says that everyone assumes that we play as the dude rather than the lady (which nobody really assumes - I think as soon as we saw the lady was a member of Psycho Squad we assumed that she was playable).

    Like, did you even read the interview? The question was straight up about the game and the answer was straight up about the avatar. If I ask "will your game feature a lot of interesting quests or will it just be combat focused" and you respond "everyone assumes that you play as the dude in the trailer" you haven't answered the question, you've just dodged it. If I ask "will your game feature a balanced portrayal of women" and you respond "everyone assumes you play as the dude in the trailer" you haven't answered the question, you've just dodged it.

    I think it's a bit unfair to characterize Witcher 2 this way.

    Witcher 1, fine. Yeah.

    Witcher 2 does considerably better in that respect, and has a much better attitude regarding sex in general.

    It's just slightly disconcerting. If you're going to have these anticapitalist undertones but ignore the weirdly sexualized murder of a chick in the game's trailer, then I'm getting flashbacks of the shallow assed 'revolutionary' plot in Fable 3.

    Could a 'political' plot work well in a video game? Yes. But it's all too easy to make a shallow plot or to have that plot obscured by needless problematic bullshit.

    Yeah, those people aren't real though. So yeah, part of the problem is that she's sexualized.

    I don't get the reaction to that assertion. I'm not even particularly turned off by the game (I loved Cyberpunk 2020 through all of high school). It's just a problematic aspect that I'm kind of worried about.

    Honestly, the dude asked a pretty horrid question.

    Like, it's very nearly sexist itself.

    The only "SEXIST" thing in the trailer is that she looks like she's dressed in fairly tame club attire, compared to real life anyway.

    It's very clear she's having a mental breakdown after killing a dozen or so odd people, which is why she's on the ground, pretty much just chillin as she's being unloaded on.

    Like.

    Where the fuck is that being sexist. Seriously.

    I'd still argue Witcher 2 was pretty all right in how it handled gender

    Because that woman is apparently linked to the cyberpunk art of old. It's a throwback or something. Also is every fucking thread going to devolve into sexism talk now? Is it really sexist for a guy or gal to appreciate the female form? Let's not forget the woman in that trailer is hardly vulnerable given that she just killed all them people. If anything she's just given herself up.

    You're right, this isn't the place for this kind of conversation.

    Overall I'm still excited for the game--like I said I loved the Cyberpunk 2020 game and it'd be interesting to see some anti-corporatism in a mainstream game. Furthermore, the throwback thing gave me even more excitement for the game, because it made me think of Ghost in A Shell, where the anime had a really throwback-to-the-80s-future feel to it.

    I wasn't even worried about the game until I read that interview. Him saying "why not" in response to that question makes me think that they didn't really think it through, which doesn't bode that well for me. It's a single marred point in my overall massive excitement for the game.

    She might have been like, brain wiped and reprogrammed or something. That's kind of like dying. But maybe her crazy psychosis was cured and her real personality was restored. I don't know enough about the setting or the game to know.

    Seriously.
    Not really looking to have the whole "is this sexist" discussion so I'll just note that I disagree with the idea that nothing can be sexist if it's portraying a scantily clad woman in a submissive position who has given a lot of strong, armor-clad men a fantastic reason to be violent to her, but it's super okay because she deserves it and in fact she doesn't even feel it, she can't be hurt. I think that's basically textbook legitimization of violence against women: create a fictional setting where men have a great reason to hurt women, where the women they hurt are sexualized, and where the women they hurt, by virtue of being objects, don't even mind because they can't feel it.

    The Witcher 2 was nowhere near as bad, mostly I'm just talking about the whole "tons of full frontal female nudity but we never really see any naked manflesh aside from chests, which is hardly very revealing."

    I really look forward to seeing how the augment system will be implemented, and if that will be tied into your character's hold on their humanity in any way.

    So..... it looks as though there will be custom player appearance in this game? To be expected, when based off tabletop I suppose.
    I wonder how much of a blank slate will that player will allowed to be, since so much of the witcher depended on Geralt's place in it.

    I like that they're doing more than just "long-coat mercenary guy", but I'd like to have the only hair options be ridiculous 80s ones.

    Also my first playthrough is going to be with a female cop that I'm going to RP as the Major. It's been decided.

    (Mostly because the last Cyberpunk 2020 game I had was the team following a Japanese government assassin who was styled after the major and had had a full-body replacement. The assassin ended up killing most of the team)

    What a great scene. Muscles too strong for the frame, an augmented body pushed to the limit

    And how a cyborg really should fight a walking tank

    That's one of my favorite scenes in science fiction, no questions asked

    Shit I'm gonna go buy that blu-ray TOMORROW
