I agree that -for marketing purposes- the use of nudity can be of bad taste or simply unnecessary (just like the revealing dresses of Yuja Wang or Khatia Buniatishvili). But let's remember, sex grabs the attention and penetrates the public discourse. You don't want to blow a load of cash on a game or artist unless you have a rock-hard strategy that will shower you with benefits. It's imperative to be solidly inside your demographic's mindset, which is where market research comes in.

I would note that "Sex sells" isn't just a marketing ploy for the computer game, it's a strong element of the setting (both Johnny Silverhand & Alt were depicted as physically attractive [until Alt got uploaded at least]), & one of the early supplements, the 1st gear-p**n book included the "Mr Studd(tm)" & (IIRC) "Lady Midnight(tm)" cyber-implants for improved... social... performance.

There were probably rules for other more cosmetic surgeries as well, but I disposed of all my DTF gaming material last time I moved so I can't conveniently check.

Hell, I'm pretty sure that Morgan Blackhand(?) & Rache Bartmoss were less than handsome was relevant to their character backgrounds.

This awesome E3 trailer with Keanu Reeves is old news now I know.. but apparently the full big gameplay footage they privately showed at E3 will be out soon publicly at Gamescon. Can't wait to sit down and take it all in like I did with the last big 45min one haha.

Important question... should I finish the last Deus Ex now that I was reminded of it
Late answer. You can buy the original Deus Ex and then dowload the GMDX (Give Me Deus Ex) mod. Do not run from original .exe but rather from GMDX .exe. Configure renderer to Direct3D 10 support and limit your FPS to 60. I think the game runs well on pretty much any hardware, I'm running it now on an RX 580 but I also ran it on an ATI Radeon 4850 (I think that one ran better with the Direct3D 9 option in "renderer"). Playing Deus Ex now is like rewatching The Empire Strikes Back. Sure, The Last Jedi has a clearer image and better special effects but you can't beat a classic. Similarly, Deus Ex doesn't look as good as Ghost Recon Breakpoint or even Fallout 76 but...

Back on topic:
The company courted controversy with a teaser trailer in 2013 depicting a half-naked woman sitting in the rain as a SWAT team aim their guns at her. Feminists attacked the game over claims of sexual objectification.

AFAIK we cannot upload images directly to the forum (and I don't want to sign up for a hosting service just for a few pics) but I already preordered the game and it's in my library. I hope that the devs don't make any concessions to these people (most likely they're not interested in playing the game anyway). The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to be messed up: look at our own society, today's superficial people like Olivia Jade, those Kardashian characters, or so many other vapid, fabricated personalities with fake body parts who walk around under mountains of makeup. Look at them and tell me that our society doesn't have much in common with the game's world. Never mind the game's sexual objectification, visit social media and consider how many women are objectifying themselves today.

I really struggle to take anything or anyone serious when they have a good thing to say about Fallout 76, even if it is just to say how good it looks.

Lol, yes. Bethesda and bugs go together like bread and butter, or Wall Street and prostitution rings.

There seem to be a lot of people online (not you, obviously!) going nuts about this, and I don't understand why. I'd rather they delayed it six months to make sure it's as good as they can get it, rather than release early and maybe dilute the experience.

Agreed; there have been some OTT reactions from the news! I guess the hype gets the better of some people, however given the fact that CDPR have been ominously quiet with regards to marketing etc. it was kind of obvious that things were not going to plan. I won't lie though, I did let out a very Darth Vader-y "NoooOOOoooooOOOOo" when I read the news last night; my wife thought someone had died! :D

Fingers crossed they will drip feed us more videos/screenshots as a consolation prize!

The delay on the other hand might be good for people waiting (me :P) for the new gpu generation to appear to upgrade before the game is released.
I am still rocking a gtx970 and would have probably had some issues with the game on that card.

I've got an RX570 and I have no intention of upgrading it anytime soon, so if the game won't run on that I'm not playing it!

The RX does at least have 8gb Vram, so this should not be a large obstacle for you :)
The gtx970 only has 4 (only of which are 3,5gb really usable) and will probably struggle with a new title. Lets see what the specs for Cyberpunk are, and then ill decide.

6 Months, they are moaning that the game is being delayed for 6 months, meanwhile the original backers of scam citizen have been waiting 6 years after the promised launch of the game, 6 months is nothing.

Delaying the release is the right thing to do, especially after a year and a bit with the likes of the launch of Fallout 76, Anthem and others being released far too early and not to mention that the programmers and testers would have to be overworked to get some kind of release. Nope if it's not ready, then they are doing the right thing. Besides weren't CDPR criticised for having a pretty heavy crunch for the release of Witcher 3.

Again, completely agree felter. I'd rather wait for a better product to play (even though I'll be heavily sleep deprived!)

I think the collective has also forgotten that The Witcher 3 was a state at launch. A bit of extra time will hopefully avoid the same happening here. :)

No, it's only a 4Gb card? RX570s were available with 8Gb, but I didn't get one of those.

While one has been waiting the game since 2012 some months more shouldn't be a problem. Playing Star Citizen, X4 and board games are enough to fill my waiting time. My interest on Cyberpunk 2077 has been going doing down more they have shown the game so I hope there has been some big changes done after the presented demos.

Indeed, I'm one of them :-)
Problem is my MoBo, still on sandybridge (socket 1155) and the best cpu for that would be the Intel i7-2700k. Lesser problem is my gfx: Min. requirement
for Cyberpunk is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti but the best I can do with my current setup is the Radeon RX 5700 XT.

So, I got another 6 months to gather enough cash for a full upgrade (new MoBo included ofc).

I doubt the rumours about an i7 and 1080 Ti being the minimum are true - I can completely believe the dev version when those rumours came out needed those sort of specs, but nobody is going to release a game with minimums that strict. Look at the Steam hardware survey - you're looking at maybe 5% of the market that can manage that.
