First day in the Boston office! So good to meet old friends and officially kickstart our Orion journey. I couldn't be more excited for this project and i'm sure we can make it something special. 2077 was just a warm-up 🔥

hong kong is unbelievable. no wonder it permeates half of the cyberpunk genre. size, density, verticality, the exposed infrastrucure, pipes, cables, radiators - like no other place it feels like living on a surface of a corrupted microchip

this. players want MORE of everything - stories, choices, features, locations - but forget we operate on limited resources and time. a fairy dies whenever 'they should've done more x content!' is posted without stating what would be cut to make space for it
Gamer: "Spend more time to make it better!"
Dev: "We don't have more time."
Gamer: "Then spend more money!"
Dev: "..."
Dev: "We could cut [other feature]?"
Gamer: "No, don't do that!"
Dev: "..."
Gamer: "..."
Dev: "Crunch, huh?"
Gamer: "Look, what YOU do is no business of mine..."

'why your game doesn't have the feature that other game had years ago?' - because in 9/10 cases it's a matter of design, coding and handcrafted implementation and progress of computing power doesn't make it any easier. not like you inherit features from other games
If there's one thing RPGs in the future should copy from Cyberpunk 2077 it's the amount of detail put into the conversations
Idk how people can experience how this game and still think the basic shot-reverse-shot you see in other games is sufficient

SAG-AFTRA celebrates, actors are idignant, AI is the marvel or villain again and there's no middle ground - or isn't there.
Actor's own input is invaluable, no doubt. This is what makes creative work with others beautiful - everyone adding something of their own --

Problem is that the 'critique' is often cherrypicking benchmark features from various games which specifically invested in said features - and expecting a product to have it all. BG3 branching, 2077 scene quality, GTA systems, COD fpp combat, Elden Ring size and bosses... 1/2

after 'beverly' and 'sabrina' nick drnaso is really killing it with the suburban terror drama. nuanced, relatable characters consumed by their own traumas in scenarios both authentic and weirdly uncanny. 'acting class' is A+

-- a VO you forgot or didn't forsee (and it's not possible to design it all on paper). Or level design changed and instead of 'Go left!' it should be 'Go right' now.
In our case, oragnizing a VO session for 10+ languages is a logistics nightm... challenge. --

Game with themes of socioeconomic inequality, poverty, alternate dimensions which are explored by shooting people and looting coins from literally everywhere, bins included. Probably the game with biggest ludonarrative dissonance ever.

-- I imagine there is a way to both work with actors in a classical way - and i'd never have AI generate VO for a dramatic scene - AND be able to use AI VO for filling in the gaps.

sure, depends how you define it. what i meant was skill as in technical / craft skill of creating something from zero - and by effort i meant friction that comes with it. with genAI the whole process is just choosing between end results. maaaybe tinkering with prompts

... In 2077 we arguably invited some of those comparisons in the promo campaign, which was a mistake. Now expecting 2077's scenes (which are really, really expensive) in other games is fine - but it will come at a cost of branching or other narrative or animation aspects.
