Greetings Earthlings! Welcome to the MadqueenShow! I am your host the MadQueen
On today's menu we have a video that I really didn't have in mind doing because the teaser's
been out for long now, but as you requested, well, we're going to talk about it
One question that people ask a lot about Cyberpunk 2077 is how faithful are they going to be
to the lore, and I think that this teaser gives us pretty clear clues about how well
CD Projekt RED knows this universe, and how full of details the teaser is
And I'd also like to thank the people of the official CDPR forum for Cyberpunk 2077
that are complete nerds and that is a compliment, and helped with a thing that I couldn't
find, but I'll tell about this thing later
We start the trailer seeing the eyes of the cyber psycho, although we don't know yet that she is
She's being shot with bullets that don't even tickle her
The most probable reason for that is that she's wearing a
Dynalar Technologies gradiated subdermal armor, you have two options, one for the body and
one for the head, so she's probably wearing that or an upgraded skinwave, but I'm more
inclined to the first option because on the next scene that she appears we can see the
plates of the subdermal armor, and also skinwave is light armor
Dynalar technologies is a cyberware manufacturer and distributor that also appears in the teaser, so we'll talk
about them later
Then we go to the police officers that are
trying to take the cyber psycho down, without much success
The guns of the police officers were the hardest thing to find of the whole teaser
other elements that appear are a clear evolution of elements that appear in the sourcebooks,
or they are directly mentioned in the sourcebooks are the same way they appear in here
but in this case, I am not even totally sure about what gun are we seeing here
The thing is that lore-wise, the police officers of Night City should be
carrying an assault rifle like the Constitutional Arms Hurricane Rifle or Deluge crowd control,
or the Ronin/AKR but image-wise it looks like an evolved version of the Mlitech Mk IV, even
a so, I'm not sure if this is something that is not lore friendly or I couldn't find
We go on and in here we see a couple more things that are from the lore
In the center, we can see the store window of Dynalar Technologies, one
of the most notorious brands for cybernetic implants in Cyberpunk 2020 and the manufacturer
of the subdermal armor that the female character wears
If you're seeing this image big enough,
you'll appreciate that we can see some implants in the inside of the store window, and as
I see no desk inside I'm inclined to believe that the thing in the left of the window is
a holographic display of a vendit machine, but I don't rule out that, in this case,
I might be seeing here things that are not her
On the right we can see Alt Cunningham,
one of the most famous netrunners of the lore along with Rache Barmoss and Spider Murphy
She invented the beta version of the Soul Killer, and I will explain her whole story
some other time but long story short, she got trapped in Arasaka's mainframe and was
liberated to the net at the end of the 4th corporate war and now she's more or less
immortal, so I guess, or hope, well guess and hope both, that we will see her in the game as an NPC
Braindance, the Expirience
Welcome to a world of wonder and excitement
The most advanced neurocoordinators
The most exciting Braindance recording
The best escape you ever experienced
Only in Playland at the Sea, Pacifica, Night City
Braindance The Experience
Back to Night City Police Department officers,
that wear a riot armor as described in the cops sourcebook "Protect & Serve", and
they keep firing this weapon that I don't know what it is!
And, following the bullets we see more of the background,
That is like a background but for people who likes Batman
and we can't see it in this part of the background in here,
but in the original design, this background had an Icon America shop, that is a brand of Fashion
specialized in edgerunner style in the lore, not a cheap one, it would be more or less
the equivalent of a Superdry or something like that
And there's another shop at the left, I think it says "Hardware Store"
but I'm not sure about that, I can't read it
Then back to the cyber psycho, now the teaser
gives us more hints about her, apart from that now we can see the plates of her subdermal armor
and the blades in her arms is a type of cyberware that is like incredibly standard,
everyone I know or I played Cyberpunk 2020 with had, at least once, a character with blades like this
It's funny, because the original design for this character in the
teaser had monoblades, more in the line of the ones that Jensen in Deus Ex has, I'm
glad they changed for this curved and more organic ones
There are different cyberware brands that do these blades inside the arm
The Flying car looks a lot like an evolved
and stylized version of the AV-3 "Aerocop", the standard for defense vehicles in the police
departments of major metropolis, as described in the Chromebook 2
And while the vehicle flies off we can see that the broadcast megacorporation
Network News 54 is streaming from Aircam live,
on January 10th 2077, that is also the date when this teaser was shown for the first time
Well, some years before
From this part, we can also see, apart from the name of Night
City's commissioner, that the shares of the megacorporation Arasaka raised a 36%
and we also see the evolution of the stock price of the megacorporations EBM, Microtech, Orbital
Air, Network News 54 and Militech
And, at last, we're introduced the Max-Tac Officer
The Maximum Force Tactical Divison is a squad that is common to most urban police departments,
and their task is hunting down people that have so much plastic and metal in themselves
that they went Cyberpsycho
There are more psychosquads, like the C-SWAT or the Psyche Division, they're the same type of squad,
a Cyborg Suppression Unit, but depending on
the department they have a name or another
So as you can guess this character is totally
lore friendly, and a very important part of the lore
As canon demands and as a good MAX-Tac
agent, he's holding a Militech Crusher against the back of the skull of the poor cyberpsycho,
and he's holding that gun with his replacement limb with thickened Myomar fibers, he also
wears a Cybereye with Infrared, targeting scope, and Times Square™, that is some sort
of screen, inside the helomet, where you can see other things like videos, calls, something very standard Scifi
And he also wears his standard psychosquad torso plate, all the typical psychosquad gear
described in the "Protect & Serve" sourcebook
He obviously wears his Night City Police Department
badge along with the Mac-TAC patch, and I'm glad they didn't put the original design,
Then we see more of the genearl scene and we can see that what in the sketches was the American Idol
store turned into a Kiroshi shop
Kiroshi is a cyberware brand specialized in cybereyes,
the circle below the name in the logo is suppoused to be an eye, I don't think is very clear in here
And the psycho closes here eyes, expecting a quick death, and now we can see
a detail of the Militech Crusher
After the Cyberpunk logo, we can see that the psycho
turned into a productive member of society,
or, at least, a productive member for the Night City Police Department psychosquad
so she wears the gear that is expected from her
And if I had to bet, I would say that they're inside a Militech IVa command and control center vehicle, that
is the standard to maintain order in urban areas
And from there, well, you know that, it'll come when it's ready, and I hope we will
see something at E3
So, in general, I think I would call this trailer lore friendly, and
if you think I missed some detail, please leave a comment and let me know
Well, folks, thanks for watching
