Cyberpunk 2077 trailer channels Blade Runner

CD Projekt Red has released an official trailer for Cyberpunk 2077. The long-awaited role-playing video game adaptation has been delayed until November. Positive comparisons with Grand Theft Auto (GTA) and Blade Runner franchises are inescapable.



New gameplay footage was revealed, showcasing extensive character customisation options (a staple of RPGs), alongside unanimously rave reactions from hands-on impressions.



As part of yesterday's Cyberpunk 2077 - Night City Wire event, an anime series tie-in from Netflix was announced for 2022.

"Wherever there are nerds, there's gonna be anime fans," Saya Elder, a Japan-based producer on the show, says in a preview video. "When we began this project, we were certain that we didn't want to make a recreation of the game," she adds. "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a standalone story set in the same universe. The stage is still Night City, but everything else is totally new: new characters, new story."

The developer behind The Witcher 3 has, justifiably, garnered goodwill from the gaming community for consumer-friendly practises. So, I've pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077 digitally for Xbox One X. The upcoming title is optimised for Xbox Series X at no additional cost.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for iPhone

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (iTunes link) has appeared on the App Store. What's more astonishing is that Rockstar Games' AAA title has arrived sans marketing bombast!



This instalment in the controversial, and critically-acclaimed, franchise, is, by far and away, my favourite! Its touchscreen mechanics should be equally at home on the iPhone/iPod touch.

Early reviews suggest that the newest incarnation of Chinatown Wars is a successful mashup of the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP versions. Since I traded-in my DS game for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. This is an excellent early birthday present.
