Cyberpunk 2077’s trailer closing Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference was one of the most memorable moments of the entire show. But that wasn’t all CD Projekt RED had to show us. We got a chance to see a 45 minute live demo behind-closed-doors, and we learned so much about the gameplay, mechanics, and world.
But one of the most striking things we learned about Cyberpunk was that unlike The Witcher series, where we saw Geralt from a third-person persepective, Cyberpunk is a first-person RPG through and through. This major component of the game caused quite a bit of conversation online, with some Witcher fans vocal in their disappoint of the change in perspective.
