As many are sure to begin pointing out, I slipped up and said the Kowloon walled city was in Korea, when in fact it was in HK. Every video must be accompanied with at least one mistake to make it a Morphologis video.

Cyberpunk 2077 may genuinely be the most gorgeous game i have ever played.

New Atlantis felt more like an Arab Airport than a city. It’s like a Dubai transit hub with hotels and stores and some administrative buildings.

One of the biggest problems I had with starfields cities is that they feel like the cities they sent tourists to in North Korea where everyone is just an actor and nothing is actually real and it's sparsely populated for apparently how many humans are supposed to be living there

Cyberpunk obviously wins this given that the game is built around a single city, whereas Star Citizen is about scale planets and Starfield is ass.

What impressed me in Night City is how complex are sometimes footpaths and roads. It is not just a one level simple grid, but some districts create strong feeling that they were not planned by government in one go, but they just grew for many decades with buildings being enlarged and remade, levels being added, new roads being added, areas being rebuild. I have no idea how they pulled off the designing of all of this. Really impressive!

night city was genuinely the first city in any video game I forgot it was designed to be a GAME and not an actual city simulation. GTA tried this several times, as did others like Mafia and more, but for the first time the sheer level of granular life and design choices make Night city organic enough to be believable.

Night City has got to be my favourite video game map of all time. It almost feels like a second home

I will say, while giving a buddy who was new to the game a tour of New Babbage, we were heading to the promenade, and while we were going through the little windowed bridge area, and she glanced outside and noticed a ring of lights that seemed really out of place. I told her to zoom in on it, and it blew their mind that they could make out the vague shape of Port Tressler, and the light ring that they spotted was the navigation lights demarking the armistice zone around it.

Even if you take away from gameplay activities, Night City still feels more real. It feels lived in, even compare it with other games set in a single city. Night City feels more lived in than Los Santos in GTA5 or the city in the latest Mafia game.

I think that another interesting pillar of city design to remember about Star Citizen is that seamless flight is a core part of the game. The cities are also supposed to look good from the air and even from upper atmosphere and orbit. Debatably even more important than the on-foot experience.

Night City is hands down the most immersive city I've ever had in a video game. All other game issues aside, the level/world design is a freaking work of art

I played through Cyberpunk for the first time last month, and Night City is one of the coolest environments ive ever existed in when it comes to video games. I put 80 hours into it in just under 2 weeks and im still in awe over the design.

I love Night City so much, and one thing I love is that the city is not idealistic, an example of this is that I live in São Paulo, and in NC there is Pacifica and Dogtown, these places are conceptually very similar to Cracolandia in SP, Places like these make the city much more realistic, and this makes a lot of sense when Mike Pondsmith himself says that both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are cities that he draws inspiration from when creating Cyberpunk lore.

Also you feel like everything in Night City has its own individual story, from whole districts down to individual streets and buildings - whereas many other big game cities seem to have been planned from a single template to "be a big city". They feel planned and constructed as a whole, whereas Night City feels like it has evolved over many decades and morphed and twisted and adapted to the lives that people have been living in it for over half a century. Buildings overarching other buildings, some districts growing while others are decaying. Some buildings clearly stand out in a way where it's obvious their existence has influenced the lands around them over time, rather than everything just magically coming into existence at the same time.

Kawloon City was in Hong Kong and not Korea!

Personally, Cyberpunk is the only game where I spent about 2 hours simply walking around and admiring the local architecture like a tourist, without really thinking about it or realising. It has plenty of flaws but from an aesthetic standpoint, nothing hits like it. This was in the Japan Town area of Westbrook mostly, spreading out into surrounding areas. In terms of other games that compare well, the rendition of Prague in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or Serkonos in Dishonored 2, whilst split into smaller districts, offer up something pretty special as well.

Driving around Night City at night is a vibe, even better if it’s raining too

Funny how the New Atlantis skyline is literally all 8 buildings in the city. They should have looked more at Mass Effect, the citadel is tiny and just a few indoor spaces, but it feels huge because you can see the other arms when looking out of the windows, you can see the inner ring trail off into the "horizon" in the embassy district etc. but i guess that wasn't an option since they created the whole planet around it and the player could have easily looked behind the curtains if they had a fake scenery set up.

i just started playing cyberpunk and I used to be one of the people who would blindly hate on it but this is one of the most gorgeous game worlds ive explored, probably the most gorgeous, i love how much there is to do around the world and the world is so dense its impossible to explore it all, love the different story outcomes/paths too

You mentioned Disney when talking about New Atlantis, and that was the impression I had when walking through it. Particularly, the World Celebration portion of EPCOT in Disney World. For anyone unfamiliar, it's the part of EPCOT with the various rides and attractions, including Spaceship Earth (aka the Big Ball Thing). There all the different things to see and do are off in separate futuristic-looking (for 1970) buildings, separated by gardens, water features, and lots of walkways. It's all NICE, but if you've ever been there during a low season, there's something... offputting about the place. Because everything's relatively spread out there and contained within a few distinct buildings, there's a ton of walkways that get little foot traffic outside the central thoroughfare. Giving the whole thing this... not quite soulless, but strangely empty liminal space vibe where the architecture style makes everything feel out-of-place or even out-of-time. New Atlantis has this same feel. Despite the NPCs and things to DO there, it still feels strangely empty and simultaneously too big and too small. Not necessarily like it's fake, but that there's something not quite right about it's setup in a way that Akila and Neon don't suffer from.

You were way to giving to New Atlantis. It's literally built like a town in Skyrim just with futuristic assets.

Night City is my favorite city on any open world game. It's just breathtaking. And the fact you can enter a lot of the buildings is a cherry on top. I just wish megabuildings were explorable.

Nothing comes close to Night City. I feel like I'm in a living breathing city that is loaded with both the old and the new, unbelievable beauty and stark brutality.

I think the thing that really stood out to me with Starfield's cities is how small and low population they feel. They're supposed to be the centers of an interstellar community and they only feel like they're sized for 10-20k people. Even The Well, the slum area that was supposed to be packed with people was the size of a city block and had maybe 100 people in it. Granted, some of that might be engine limitations, but I think they could have done something like what SC does and have set-pieces showing more city that you can't go inside to make the cities feel reasonably large and populated.

Cyberpunk 2077 imo i by far the most beautiful game I've played. The amount of detail is incredible. The City is alive.

New Babbage needs more walkable glas tunnels between the domes so you can feel the scale. Also the large windows in SC usually hang slightly too height so you can't see easily. I'm the spawn hab on the other hand the windows are too small to see something (to save heating costs hehe). Both is a bit wasted opportunity to impress players :)

Feeling like disney main street is a great way of putting the feeling of some video game cities. One of my favs is new alexandria from halo reach, and its a city that has a little bit of that. During most of the level, the level design and the fast paced nature of Reach as an fps make it really easy to fall into the environment and appreciate the realism of it. Halfway through the level exodus though there's a moment where you fly in a drop ship to a different location that shows you some of the cracks in new alexandria as a city. Some of the buildings have no visible entrances and exits, let alone roads (the city itself has none), and there are a lot of dead ends that take make sense for an fps level but take away the realism. On the other hand, the scale at every point feels spot on. Almost nothing in the distance ever feels miniature, the spaces are large and well appointed with signage and maybe shops that feel usable, in that they make sense for the space and besides the carnage the city itself looks like what a city should look like and be laid out like. I love it as a setting and its held up as level design overall, especially for a game that came out in 2010, just had never found the right way to describe those few pitfalls until you mentioned the way a theme park can feel. Great video!

CP2077 on PC even before the 2.0 patch was imo a masterpiece, warts and all. The city is pure art, like a living breathing painting. One note is that with networking not being in both CP2077 and SF, it opens up what is possible [tech wise] within the game space. This fact does not bode well for SF though since even without any form of co-op or multiplayer they were still able to design a bland,loading screen filled uninspired city. I still get that giddy feeling in SC flying through and around cities, even if they still lack more game-play elements. The shear scale of them is breathtaking.

Night City just feels so alive to me, and having experienced all three, absolutely wins for me.

Cyberpunk is the only game out of these 3 with an actual city. Starfield and SC have city locations, but accessible space is very limited, so neither is really a full city in terms of player access.

It's interesting when you place together all three games with very different design language and concept. Still, I'd have to say that I absolutely hate the way Bethesda designs the city in Starfield. Even if they can't make cars and other things work in their outdated engine, it's like they think people'd just forget about car and don't see the need to expand the their city in an interstella civilization, which would have a lot of people. And Neon... it was a very very big miss.

I remember being completely blown away when they showed the first extended gameplay for Cyberpunk 2077. The moment when you first walk out of your megabuilding and get to see and hear the city. I couldn't believe it was real. Played it on day 1 with a mix of high/ultra graphics at 4K and it was simply mindblowing and exactly like in the video. First playthrough I'd say I spent about 3/4 of it walking, rarely driving, simply absorbing the sights and atmosphere. Night City is incredible and a monumental achievement in city and game design in general.

Cyberpunk's been really strong for just... grabbing me with things to do. I spend hours just running around fighting mooks or doing minor jobs without realizing it, because there's just a bunch of cool stuff everywhere.

I really appreciate your wide format. Fascinating video btw, as I do love the CP2077 cities. I however love New Babbage, Orison, and Lorville in Star Citizen for the aesthetics and feel of an actual citizen of the stars. I love Starfield's Neon City, and really wished there was more to it. SC cities I treat as home and medical, shopping, eating, drinking, and trading are the only loops.

"Breathtakingly well done" I saw what you did there 😄 Also correction, the Walled City was in Hong Kong, not Korea

New Babbage was designed to be viewed from farther away. It looks so cool and thematic, with the spaceport built into the side of the mountain and the "islands" of building activities. When you are flying towards it in your spaceship, it has an epic feel! When you are inside, it does feel less real than the other two, as you pointed out.

I think Star Citizen has so much potential, not just from the standpoint of what the studio can provide as far as gameplay but what foundations that can be created for the players to create their own stories a la the true mmo environment. Once we can have a truly populated world of players, I think things rapidly show the scope and scale of whats possible.

I have a couple of years of experience in 3d modeling, and let me tell you, when i think about the amount of work that went into just modeling night city i get serious anxiety... Tremendous amount of work and thought put into that game, such a shame that many people will not notice it because of the media shitstorm that happened when it launched, i only hope that it will be remembered as a classic in the future.

Squadron 42 was not the big limiting factor with Star Citizen cities. Todd Papy has talked about this in some detail. The cities were intended as backdrops to space action. Development of interiors came later in small steps.

It's also important to note, that Night City is also as seamlessly as possible. Unfortunately it seems that the metro's loading part is an engine problem (there's a reason why it was added in update 2.1, almost exactly 3 years after the game got released, and only because many people wanted the metro). Except for the metro's loading (so basically up until update 2.0), literally the only loading screens in the game are when you open it, and fast travel - you can't lower it more than that. everything is smooth and without any loading screens at all it's amazing. It also makes it look and feel much more realistic and organic. Many of the elevators are intentionally open, so you can see outside while you go up or down on them. It's crazy how it all works. And it's a shame that it wasn't mentioned here at all. Also another thing about Night City that is so amazing, is how dense it is. Literally just yesterday I discovered that there's an entire port in City Center because of a Phantom Liberty side quest there...I have 150+ hours on the game, never knew at all about it. And so many videos on YT, always show me new locations, places, roads and alleys in the game I never knew about. Many times when I'm running and hiding from the cops on foot, I get to meet whole neighborhoods I didn't know existed with fantastic views and scenes. It's really incredible how they pulled this off, and how it always feel like you don't know yet half of Night City.

Very good analysis! Cyberpunk is all about the city. Therefore, Night City does feel like a real city. Star Citizen is all about spaceships. Thus, "airport like" cities are somewhat expected. Starfield is all about engine limitation. Nothing more to say here...

I really enjoy Orison, wish it was a bit more fleshed out, but at night with the petals floating around orison looks amazing. If there were more stuff to do i'd spend a lot more time just "chilling" and looking at ships to buy there

I've played 100+ hours in all 3 and at this moment in time my vote goes to Cyberpunk for being an incredibly immersive and well crafted game. The other two still have a long way to go before being finished...

I would say that Night City is probably the most realistically crafted city for a game ever made, and it could pretty much translate one to one to a real life city that could easily house millions of people with all the accompanying benefits such as various stores and night life spots. The other two options don't really feel to me like they could sustain such a big population and feel more like small towns for maybe up to a few thousands rather than millions

Cyberpunk 2077 currently has the most believable city simulation. Pedestrians now react quickly and credibly. The game has set a high bar. I think Star Citizen has the best chance of not only matching it, but potentially surpassing it. Starfield, on the other hand, is too old an Elder Scrolls mechanic that can't simply be patched away. NPCs in Starfield just seem old-fashioned and stiff.

Cool video Morph! Love the perspective you bring when it comes to architecture. I want more!

I think my favorite things about New Babbage might have to be the few things that keep the playable area from being *only* interior spaces from top to bottom. I love the surface access elevators that allow the spaceport and commons exteriors to be explored on foot and on ground vehicles - they provide a great way to step out and experience the harshness of Microtech, a great sense of scale when you step out of the shelter of the building interiors, and a fun little use of ground vehicles for the area (as long as they're not getting caught on things and exploding, of course.) It's also a welcome shortcut into the city for those in a hurry, allowing you to pick up or drop off friends right into the commons without futzing about with landing and public transit. My other favorite thing is a very minor touch that I hope will become more pronounced with time: some delivery missions in Microtech space will direct you to land on a random rooftop to drop off your package, instead of sending you inside the main city center or off to some outlying structure. Using the plethora of buildings on the skyline - even for something minor like this - makes the city feel a little more real and alive, something more than a pretty backdrop. I hope we'll see more spaces like that, hopefully with a little more development, scattered throughout the city so we get more utilization out of that space. It'll never be FULLY realized, but little touches like that go a very long way!

Thoroughly enjoyable comparison! I only played Cyberpunk 2077 out of the three, but this gives me a good idea of the other two. Please add Mirror's Edge city to a future comparison if you can; it's a different type of game, smaller scope and not open world, but the architecture really stands out.

That green blurry filter looks very bad in Starfield

Night City feels lived in which is what helped me so much with the immersion of that game. Everywhere seemed to fit and serve a purpose as part of the whole and it felt like you could actually put down roots and live in that city if you wanted (not that I would want to live there haha)

CD projekt red was always the best at crafting cities. Novigrad, Oxenfurt and Beauclair all feel very realistic and alive despite their rather small scale. The architecture is beatiful, the city plans are incredibly convincing and there is just always something to do in those cities.

Lmao I clicked on this video just thinking it was another comparison video that popped up in my feed, then I was like wait a minute I know that voice.

I think the scale issue in New Atlantis may be less of an engine limitation and more of a design limitation. Bethesda rpgs have always been classified by their open-endedness. The scale of cities in their games are tiny compared to pretty much any other rpg, but the percentage of explorable space is considerably higher in most cases. And while Starfield sacrifices a bit on that end compared to previous entries that often had 100% of the city accessible in some way, it's still quite a bit higher. Most of the inaccessible areas just require some questline to gain access to them, instead of just being unimportant areas you can't access. Because that design philosophy in their game prevents them from just pasting a bunch of buildings with little or no accessible area, and their design efforts are split between multiple cities and other locations, the cities end up being considerably smaller. I do think they should have taken it further though. More space for just visuals and scale. While the illusion kind of held up in the Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, the illusion is just a lot harder to maintain when you're seeing the entirety of two spacefaring civilizations. Though maybe Starfield should have just gone for a smaller scale on its world. Like maybe have the game set on the frontier space between the UC and FC, where New Atlantis and Akila aren't the capitols of each faction, but just the main hubs in the region for each faction, with mentions of a bigger world than the player can see. Starfield gives us just one notable offscreen location, and it's implied to be at best on a comparable scale to the places we can visit.

My man morph! More of these kinds of comparison please, this is such a great video to watch. Any reason to compare anything with SC is welcome haha.

loved the video! but a small correction. 10:17 , the Kowloon walled city was in Kowloon, Hong Kong

I really hope Tera, from Star Citizen comes somewhat close to night city.. Being the home of the UEE, it only makes sense to have it be one of the most developed. Most players will likely chill around there anyways

Hope you'll do something similar again when they've added plenty of interiors to buildings and underground interconnected infrastructures in Star Citizen.

Night City feels like a childhood home. The bustling streets, crowded slums and garbage everywhere, hostile architecture, the obvious divide between social classes, and the constant noise pollution. It captured the very worst of what real life has to offer. The fear of leaving the city and going into the unknown poses too much uncertainty that you'd rather be swallowed whole by the place that made you who you are.

From West Michigan area here. Had 15 inches of snow (38cm) of snow. Single digit temperatures in Fahrenheit plus wind chill makes the air feel below 0. On top of that the Lake Effect snow adding more inches for a few days after a storm blows through. All of those tools he shows are necessary.

SC definitely needs more city content, but it's coming, eventually. CP2077 2.0 was an amazing improvement and beautiful to look at. Starfailed's New Atlantis feels like a cake topper for a mega building in the other two games. I was less disappointed with how Anthem turned out than Starfailed.

I'm impressed how you managed to compare three cities that can not be compared, while still being fair to every single one! The way you pointed out what is good and what could be better while explaining why things are the way they are was really great! Thank you.

"Architect by day and youtuber by night." - Love it and definitely made me smirk ; )

Todd Howard said Starfield is the "End all be all science fiction game that everyone has always wanted to play." lol

Current state of cp2077 phantom liberty shits all over those other games.

cyberpunk's night city is a gaming milestone imo , i finished the game and dlc and i still go back to it few times a week because of the city , it's so imerssive and if you're like me where you restrict your self to walking only , i'm telling you that world is so cool i know you said we'll never have this in star citizen but i'll say this , why not , with server meshing and if star citizen dev team keeps growing , i would love for cig to try and pull smth beautiful like this , but not for stanton , for terra or a major system in sc , like mission givers , cars , roads etc full out similar to NC in cyberpunk but for terra.. it would be soo nice

I'd really like to see a _Civil Engineer_ & _City Planner_ talk through this subject, too. 😄 The layout & design of streets & connections between CP2077 neighborhoods is _far_ from great. First to mind is always the ramps & 'bridges' with angles of up to 40 degrees. lol

What I especially enjoy in cities in games is the believability of it. Night City is riddled with advertisements, you see them on buildings facades, you hear them in public elevators and small alleyways. There’s also an amazing soundtrack that plays on radios around the city with musics in them that literally make reference to Night City. It’s much more immersive to walk through a city that feels as though it actually has existed before you came around.

Having personal habs in star citizen is going to be simply incredible in spaces like New Babbage, it feels like its just cooking to become an incredible experience.

Cyberpunk 2077 is VERY well done. Starfield is a total fuckin insult to the entire gaming industry and needs to disappear.

I'd love to have Cyberpunk detail (and more!) within Star Citizen

One major thing with these cities is.. Night City is an actually believable space for the population it tries to represent. There's homes, apartments, there's workplaces and industry. There's rail lines and a constant stream of freight moving in and out. There's crowds going about their business, thugs in alleys, kids playing in hallways. Everywhere you look, there's people. Eating, talking, struggling, walking. A city is people! Architecture is the frame that the city can be experienced in. Bethesda.. with Starfield they yet again rolled the trope of "This is the largest city in the country/world/galaxy! It's entire economy is a 4x3 patch of cabbages and a few pawn shops". There's no commerce, there's no housing, there's no kids, no transit, no economy. It's just another movie set turned into a gift shop. However, Starfield does offer a good balance between the concepts of fidelity and quality! There's a somewhat satirical game called "Coin Game" where all the NPC's are lifeless boppem robots with various clothing and eyewear glued to them. These actors are more human and have more personality than Starfield's. They give so much more of an impression of life, of motion, of economy and struggle. CIG's take on cities is in some ways fantastic, it provides a great illusion of density, trade, commerce, humanity.. from a distance. Which should be perfect! Fidelity at that scale is impossible, even with today's tech and not just a stressed out, overworked copy of cryengine from the early 2010's. But the presentation of Star Citizen is to always look closer - there's always more detail. You can count the stitches on your spacesuit. See the twists in the threads and fibers. But if you get within a few kilometers of any cityscape, it rapidly inverts that presentation. They're lifeless, empty. It's very easy to understand why! It's just so awfully jarring from the presentation that the rest of the game offers. I.. don't want to really comment on Star Citizen's humanity of their cities. There's nothing there. They're not even setpieces like Starfield, they're just T-posing obstacles. If a city is it's people, then nothing in star citizen can be fairly called a city, in my mind.

Bethesda can never make a believable city. Never.

This is a strange comparison

In New Atlantis' defense in "The Human Level" and your critique of the GalBank building, I believe that the office is only the basement and a couple of floors above. Most of the building is probably not for office space but for computer hardware where drones or a few maintenance crew is only allowed. If we're talking about how relatively small New Atlantis is and considering that "Starfield" is set in the future -corporations would have meetings in a space station or in Neon whereas the "common folk" work from home or work in The Well in New Atlantis.

This was very cool. Really enjoyed this. 😊

Cyberpunk used to be like Star Citizen, as in, it had a great looking city filled with nothing. I finally started playing Cyberpunk again after 2.1(I played about 8 hours about 6 months after launch), they managed to fix all the problems I had with it, maybe SC can do the same. LMAO, only joking, they'll never fix Star Citizen.

as a game for me it's Star Citizen > all of em... and it's still an Alpha. For Cities.. well let's wait for Star Citizen to finish

The insane fact about Cyberpunk is that we have a lot and a lot of cut content of NC, like North Oak and Arasaka Waterfront for exemple . If the next Cyberpunk game is in NC again i can't imagine how beautiful they will make with this places unfinished (particulary North Oak) and how beautiful they will complete the neighborhoods already existing with more interiors, more gameplays interaction with the main protagonist of the game : Night City !

i like the best how it looks like when flying around above the city with a shace ship... this is awesome and looks great...

Respect for this well intentioned doc on three significant gaming cities! Might have helped to approach each city as individual case studies (since all three of their development strategies and phases were drastically different) but the extent of editing and narrating this video was much appreciated nonetheless! I think you could attempt a in-depth video 40+ min all on Night City alone. Going into depth on districts, governing amenities, gang affiliations, and the rest of the city such as housing/markets/services. CDProject Red really outdid themselves on the city so much so I think they lost sight of their scope along the way. Portions of the city are extensively detailed and others less so. Would make a great video documentary!

Would love to see a review of the maps in darktide, some missions you can just get caught up in looking up at the sheer scale of the ‘roof’ as the absolute monstrosity of the hive city’s size takes hold

Night City has one thing that impressed me quite a lot, and something I have not yet noticed in any other game besides GTA 5. There are very fluid transitions between the districts, and sometimes you barely notice that you have left one already.

Nothing compares to Night City in a game, it's breathtakingly detailed and well constructed. I don't think we'll ever see a game city surpass CP2077 until the sequel.

Love, that you’re able to navigate through Night City only with street signs, since they all make sense. Turned off the minimap in my second playtrough and always find plazas, districts, etc just by using street signs. Now that I have to pay attention to that I remember which roads lead to which areas and noticed sooo many details about the city too. Highly recommend doing that!

I thought your comments were spot on. I would also add, we know there is going to be more game play at the cities in SC, as they've already said as much. It's just we won't get that until they have the interiors of the buildings ready to go. I also do agree that they need more sight lines from inside the buildings to see the city. The only time we get great sight lines at New Babbage from the interior are at the space port, at the windowed bridge in the commons, looking out the small apartment window by the bed (Really, the only apartment window is by the bed?!). and when you're on one of the floors/balconies in the apartment building. That's in terms of looking straight out. There is a nice sight line when looking up from the roof windows the common area between the hospital and the apartment building there as well. I don't include the top of the dome where the bar is, because all you see looking out of that is sky.

Night City comparatively small footprint is also offset but its insane verticality, there's so much more layers to Night City than to your average contemporary city.

Architect to architect, gamer to gamer, love your vids. I'm curious about your take on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's city. Not as large as the rest, but densely packed with almost all spaces playable.

What I also will give Night City is it's recognisability of individual places. I can regognice a junction on a road just from its layout even ignoring the buildings. This makes it possible to navigate like a real city where by knowing where I wanna go and where I am I can find my way even without a navigation point. Of course you don't need navigation for New Atlantis but that's because everything is so close by and almost always in sight. Whilst I haven't played starcitizen but I am worried it might suffer like many games where you have one entrance (like the spaceport) that you get in and out of constantly. Which makes navigating more a matter of remembering the order of the left and rights compared to just finding your way on the fly.

Took me a month of playing Starfield to realize. There's no personal transports for civilians. Like no cars or hover vehicles for the people to get around. There are rover type vehicles. One that looks like a drone and another with a single chair and steering wheel. I find it hard to believe that people in this time period are more okay with walking around than riding. They're still human. And we are lazy lol. Love all three of these universes

Its not because they are changing engines that it means we wont ever see Night City again. Night City is literally the heart of Cyberpunk, i wouldnt be at all surprised if Cyberpunk 2 takes place in night city again, just a bigger and expanded version of it with more districts, bigger scope and scale and all that

beautifully crafted video.

On foot, New Babbage feels more like a large facility of some kind rather than a city. That said, one kind of neat thing about it you can still use vehicles with it to some degree, in that the spaceport isn't the only place to land, meaningfully. I often like to land near the garage ramp by the frozen lake to go straight to the shops and restaurants if I don't need anything at the port, and I can drive my rover out from there to load into my ship.

I looove night city, I've spent hours just driving around and it FEELS big, but there is times when it kinda breaks and you realise it's quite small. I do really hope that New Babbage expands on the internal spaces and give us a chance to get lost in there, especially if we get the tech with one server etc, otherwise it will be too crowded

If they do a Cyberpunk 2 they should keep night city and just increase its size. Would love to see how far they can take it with sticking to only current gen and having more time.

CP2077 and Star Citizen are just another level to everything else. RDR2 is probably very close, but them two take it for me.

Im not sure how to make this not sound insane but Night City just feels like home.

I love the city of London in Watchdogs Legion, feels so real.

Putting New Atlantis here was like a mercy killing.

It should also be said that in New Babbage of Star Citizen, you can go from the space ports to the Commons and back in space ships or in land vehicles, which is also very immersive. And even if the ground is not always accessible you can visit the whole city in your spaceship, with the possibility of landing on some buidings.
