Did you hear about the sneak announcement in the trailer?
Apparently the witcher 3 was "announced" in a hidden frame.

in other - slightly related - news, i don't like what they did to the lesbian stripper ninja in this one <.<

Small problem with yoru description, there: Motoko's not lesbian. (There's one episode where she propositions boy of 13 or 14 ...!! O_o )

Edit: took me a few to track that oen down; it's episode 17 of 2nd Gig.

she's at least Bi.

we can see her participating in a lesbian cyber-threesome in the original Masamune Shirow’s manga (chapter 3, Junk Jungle). So pornographic that it was cut from the original American release (the second 2004 edition has it unedited).

The two girls, Kurutan and Ran-chan, appear again in Motoko’s bed in the Stand Alone Complex, episode 5 The Inviting Bird Will Chant / Decoy

I suspect Motoko's sexuality is "if it's past the onset of puberty and not yet in the grave, it's fair game" - regardless of gender, or lack thereof.

There are some embarassing aspect of his work that seems to get censored in the mainstream releases.

Cyberpunk 2077 is now my most anticiated game... ever. Ever ever.

Cyberpunk is what's its all about. It's where I started roleplaying. Mike managed to fuck it all up with a 10 year wait for a crap game, but now someone else has the reigns* the proposition is thrilling. I read that they're thinking of re-releasing the pnp to go with it, and writing off v3 as a cybergen style alternate world.

Here's a vid with some pretty good analysis on the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KYSMnMZAhY
Worth a watch if you have 20 minutes.

I'm going to go do this now --> (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


*and by that I mean when I was reading about it a few weeks ago it sounds like they approached Mike and said. 'We want to use your IP, but this is the world we want. We'd like you to be involved but it's happening like this.' I think that's what he needed tbh

If you're referring to GitS ... eh, mostly it's cultural. IIRC, the age of consent in Japan is 13. So even that scene I referred to, while it would be remarked upon for it's unusual-ness, it wouldn't be as shocking there, as it is here in the West.

I meant more how people who watched the old GitS movie thought it was all this artsy philosophical stuff about AI, cyberware, etc.

People who looked up his art on the internert found sadomasochistic porn with women who has glistening, oiled plump sausage looking skin.

You never seen HR Gigers personal portfolio have you? (the guy who designed the xenomorphs)
Seem to be a trend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[mister__joshua]

I'd just like to point out that I don't think people are talking enough about this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Stahlseele]

That's 'cause there ain't nothing ta talk aboot yet.

[mister__joshua]

I know, but it's exciting and frustrating at the same time! I've been waiting for a Cyberpunk PC game since I was 15. The fact that it's being done, and by a reputable company, is frickin' awesome. I just want excitement and speculation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

There have been rumours of a new pnp Cyberpunk 2077 book to tie in with the game. This excites me more than the game itself, nostalgia being what it is.

[Stahlseele]

You realize that if it's a tie in, it will be released in 2015 like the computer game probably?

That's ok, I waited longer for the last one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Seriously Mike]

The best bit, right now available only in Polish: the localization will have an in-game mechanic. So, no translation convention that everybody speaks English, and subtitles for foreign language will depend on the level of your Linguasoft. A similar solution was used in "Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction", where each playable character conveniently knew one NPC faction language, enabling subtitles for conversation in that language (the Technoviking knew Russian, the sniper chick knew Chinese and the marine knew Korean).

[Stahlseele]

an interesting idea

[Bigity]

So they are thinking of MP support?

Yes please.

[Stahlseele]
