You might remember CD Projekt Red from excellent games such as Witcher 1 and Witcher 2. They’re now working on a adaptation of the Cyberpunk pen and paper games in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077. Feast your meatbag eyes on the following trailer:
An excerpt from the video description sets up the action:
The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member. The Psycho Squad specializes in combating “psychos” — individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body. When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the Psycho Squad.
While I’m not really stoked on trailers that do not feature gameplay, I’m willing to take this one on the pedigree of CD Projekt Red alone, being a huge Witcher fan. This is definitely one we will keep watch on until… you know… when it’s ready.
There is something magical about moving little army men around a game table while pretending you’re a super-important high ranking general. WarChestand Splash Damage’s Rad Soldiers is the latest turn based strategy title that lets you live out those arm-chair general fantasies on your mobile phone or tablet. Did WarChest manage to deliver something with both style AND substance?
By using the application you’ll not only be able to spam your friend’s timelines with pictures of Tiny Tina and Claptrap, but you’ll also receive a golden key VIA e-mail on December 21st, should we all survive. Head on over to the offical Gearbox Facebook page and have fun spinning the doomsday confession wheel thingy!
I was lucky enough to talk to the cast and creators of Monlith’s upcoming action adventure RPG Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. Myself and other members of media peppered Michael de Plater (Director of Design), Christian Cantamessa (Lead Writer), and Troy Baker (voice of Talion), with questions about the upcoming title which is set to launch on September 28th. Baker, who gamers might recognize from starring roles in The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite, had some interesting things to say about the voicing the game’s protagonist Talion and just how important Tolkien’s work is to nerds everywhere.

looks awesome! I’d love to see it as a full length film too!

I think it has a lot of potential – though I do want to see how they’ll portray women in the world (given the Witcher’s history). It’s so hard to say without seeing anything about what the actual game would be like, though.
Yeah, the Witcher is pretty medieval in that sense. Maybe in Cyberpink 2077 you’ll collect Holo-“cards” of dudes you bed, lol.
Seriously, hopefully that’s just a byproduct of the setting, and not the studio itself. Rembmer, that the Witcher was based off of a novel series, so it may be the writers original intent.
