When it comes to cyberpunk, "generic" isn't really that much of a negative.

I was about to say similar. It's about getting it right rather than trying to do something which no one has done yet.

I see what they were trying to do with the camera zooming out from the poster-like cover girl with cybernetic death claws. It's really cool. I question why we had to see her underwear in that awkward angle, and something tells me that we shall never see her in the actual game. Also, from what I gather, this game is like Deus Ex mixed with Blacklight: Retribution in terms of mood, just replace the Denton models with a Victoria's Secret catalog.

I question the wisdom of reforming murderous, rampaging cyborgs, who're addicted to augmentations and then incorporating them into your police force.
Oh and here's a summary of the press release that should provide some context for the trailer.
Quote:
The game will feature a multi-thread, nonlinear story designed for mature players that will take place in the sprawling metropolis of Night City.
Players will have a chance to freely roam the open-world environment and visit places well known from the pen-and-paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020, including a combat zone completely taken over by gangs, the legendary Afterlife joint and the nostalgic Forlorn Hope.
The story revolves around tech advancement and the decay of society.
Body augmentations invented to serve society have instead multiplied its problems, and new inventions have led to addictions and poverty became an even larger problem.
The player character was raised on the streets, and tries to lift himself up from the gutter and find a way to survive amongst boostergangs and megacorporations in a city of filth and sin.
People addicted to augmentations go on rampages, and the streets are filled with junkies addicted to a new form of entertainment - the braindance, a cheap way to experience the emotions and stimuli of someone else, someone living a more exciting life.
Braindances are made by corporations, but there are also illegal underground ones available. Entering the mind of a serial killer means not only seeing the monstrosity he performs, but also living his lust to kill and fulfilment.

That last bit is very Strange Days, but then Strange Days was a lot like Cyberpunk.
I was a big fan of the p&p as a teenager, didn't actually play much of it though. High nostalgia-fuelled hopes for the game.

I'm really hoping that an "RPG for Mature Players" doesn't mean the same thing it does in the Witcher, which is your basic story driven RPG with titties. I personally prefer substance over titties, especially if my wife happens to catch me playing a video game, which should be... y'know... frequently.

I bought both Witchers from GOG and downloaded all of the "extra content". Turns out without much warning it contains a bunch of stills of Triss posing for playboy.
real deep, real mature
TTK12G3 on 12/1/2013 at 15:29
You mean the single file for TW2 labelled "Triss Playboy Session"?
Yeah.
Yeah I can see how you can mistake the contents of that particular file. Not a fan of Boris Vallejo, I take it?

The "sexy cyborg" in the trailer is probably more of an homage to Ghost in the Shell than anything else.
The only remaining original, organic part of the Shosah is some brain matter. Her "shell" is is supposed to be "the best of the best" tech wise, so why not extend that theme to its physical appearance (i.e. being drop dead gorgeous)? It's certainly helped with undercover assignments as seen in episodes of Stand Alone Complex.
The point is cyber augmentation addiction would be the equivalent to today's plastic surgery addiction. People get "augmented" to become better and that obviously would include their physical appearance, not just practical capabilities (eg enhanced senses, strength, speed, "concealed weapons", etc).
Anyway the "shit loads of chicks wanting to bone Geralt on the regular" thing is from the original novels. Ignoring the whole "sex trading card" nonsense, CDPR didn't just tack it on to sell copies of their games to 13-year-olds.
