The release of Cyberpunk 2077 is approaching, and after the special broadcast dedicated to the Xbox Series X, it's the headliner of the game that is highlighted. Johnny Silverhand is clearly not a nice person. He's a rebel with a rather dark humor and a bad temper.
V often talks with him, the dialogue can take different directions and it's possible to visit some of his most important memories. It's also clearly implied that he may take over V's body sooner or later. They may have different, or similar, or even opposite goals, depending on your decisions.
The live stream then turned to motion capture, the work of Keanu Reeves as a person, and the creation of the music of the game.
JALI — the program that synchronizes the different languages with the faces of the characters — was also presented. This tool was vital for such a vast game that is fully dubbed in many languages. Even if you play in Chinese, Russian or French, the lips and expressions of the characters remain perfectly synchronized with their words in the chosen language.
To finish in beauty, a last trailer of general presentation of the game and the studio was broadcasted. Many new scenes and activities were presented, from intimate moments, shootings, roller coaster, diving or bare-ass jumping from a boat.
