NC is so full of locked, unused buildings that it is maddening to think of what could have been

Man this feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to better integrate the NCPD scanner hustles... Instead of just getting scanner side mission and the reward money out of nowhere after killing the goons, allowing V to take up these scanner missions as a merc from inside the NCPD building from some kind of "wanted" bulletin board or something would feel a bit more immersive and tied-in to the game world.

Actually if you look at the E3 gameplay, around 12:13 when V is riding the elevator, you can spot the AV's on the landing pads. So there was definitely more to it. I'm starting to think that aside from NCart, CDPR was also planning some kind of AV Delamain Taxi service because if you look closely there are areas with AV landing pads near almost every NCart station, and also there is at least few spots that look like AV boarding locations. The first thing that You covered in "More Secret & Unused Verticality Elements" video, could have been one.

I wish Trauma team and NCPD had been more involved with the cyberphsyco side mission, for example what if Regina Jones was originally stationed at the NCPD building next to Vs mega building, and after taking care of all the cyberphsycos for her it would then escalate a new stage to the side mission where sometime later V is approached by both Trauma team and the NCPD who now have a new offer tasking you to hunt down even more powerfull end-game cyberphsycos, with Trauma team wanting all of the new ones you confront kept alive for medical research, while the NCPD would just want you to delete all them before MaxTac declares martial and suspends all NCPD authority before the problem grows out of control.

have you noticed there's a highway that connects all 4 megabuildings in heywood? it's accessible without mods, it's only blocked by a few road barriers. You can find the entrances in japantown, arroyo and both south east and southwest glenn. Definitely looks like cut content.

More possible cut verticality content: The safehouse where Takemura is attacked by Adam Smasher, which you can fully explore even before the Japantown parade. The upper level is connected on the outside to another one of those walkways that doesn't go anywhere. Probably just decoration but I always wonder if the walkways were intended to be more.

Keep showing us more these things are absolutely incredible, I really wish we would be able to explore more of the verticality and interiors of buildings

CDPR had a lot planned for CP2077. I mean, in their early interviews, a dev commented how you were (ORIGINALLY) able to enter many buildings. Like if you saw something interesting, like some club that peaked your interests, you were able to literally walk right inside. But because CDPR got MAJORLY overly ambitious with this game and completely forgot about the consoles. They had to cut so much content. And that includes PLENTY of enterable buildings. I feel like originally they planned for you to interact with the NCPD more than simply getting some notification on your phone for some crime crap. Like going into their building, accepting bounties or whatever, building up your cred with the law that would lead you to working with MaxTac down the line. Probably going against Regina Jones who wants to save’em. Maybe destroying cred for that fixer? I feel like the “Cred” system had More planned for it than it being another xp bar.

It wouldve been cool of at least the garage would open up periodically and the barriers flatten to spawn some NCPD vehicles and have them drive into the road, then have it all close up again.

i always thought it curious how you can natively explore around there like just double jump up onto a street lamp, jump over to the NCPD building roof, then up to the AV landing pads .. for an entirely decorative filler area it's weirdly accessible. but still, having to choose between that and an invisible wall - or another "THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU HERE, YET" teleport thing - yeah, empty but explorable is definitely more fun

What I have noticed lately. There seems to be more and more skywalks forming throughout night city.. Today in wellsprings/downtown area it has an like 2nd level area where there is a shopping mall/ hotels a parking garage some restaurants. Also has skywalks to cross over the highway. I was surprised to see this area. Very interesting find. Also has a turquoise color lighting in this area.

The ramp down into the NCPD building was obviously going to be an entrance to underground parking. I think seeing as the building interior is completely empty, CDPR just created an exterior but never got around to creating offices and parking. We have to remember that CP 2077 was released in a severely unfinished state probably due to the CDPR bosses, investors and shareholders pushing for a Christmas 2020 release when it clearly wasn't ready. The release date should have been pushed back into 2021 and then we might have seen a finished Watson NCPD building, a usable casino, working NCARTS, bustling stations, a crowded prison and a posh Beverley Hills area to north of the casino.

this game clearly had much bigger ambitions than we all thought. There's just so much unfinished areas and buildings all over the map. idk if its already been covered but there is and unused gun range underneath a weapon shop in or near pacifica, for what reason who knows lol also in dogtown in the main public space area in the stadium there are some doors to the left of where you can buy cars from the computer thing and if clip thru there are more doors and a few loot crates but no floor to reach them unless you are flying. just a lot of weird stuff left in places in this game.

Considering that the NPCD are such underdogs in this game even after 2.0, I think that anything they cut from it was cut very early.

Wasn't there initially supposed to be series of side quests where V is recruited into Maxtac, and fought all the cyberpsychos that way instead of through Regina? Some dev decided that saving the psychos was more interesting then going along with a maxtac crew and killing them? Something like that. I always figured this roof was intended to be where maxtac launched their AV's from for those quests.

also notice there are two levels to the NCART station, originally the monorails would have operate on the top and underside of the track

That "not subscribed" percentage is going down bit by bit.

I think V's Megabuilding and surrounding areas were going to be purposely dense and fleshed out with all the ideas they had for them, like connected parking garages and police precinct that was simply there for those few blocks. You can tell that they tried to get teams of people as much freedom to create and flesh things out, but in the end, due to time and lastgen console constraints, so much just got hacked and lobbed off. Militech has epic ass music regardless of not having a single mission that has you up against them in the base game in a way that would warrant such epic combat music - which makes me think cynosure and some other things might have been part of the main quest at some point. I dunno... I'm really glad that they seem to have gotten through the disorganization, wild changes, and cut content that comes with the 1st installment of a new IP. It can get messy, and lead to issues down the line if you don't stabilize the vision by the time you begin work on the second game. So it's nice to see Phantom Liberty come through and know exactly what it is. Can't wait to see where they take the story and gameplay. I really hope they don't backpedal on the ImSim inspired level and mission design, because it's made this game so fucking amazing.

I subscribed to you despite never having played Cyberpunk because your videos are more interesting to me than the game itself. I never thought I'd watch so many videos about the cut content of a game I never intended to play, lol.

When it comes to game development. Time is your greatest enemy. I freelance my art to a lot studios and the time frames they give are hard to reach and comprise has to be made. I can tell cdpr really tried to make an amazing world here. If they were given 3 or 4 more years we would have the cyberpunk they wanted to make. Clearly the NCPD had interior at some point but was cut either due to art not being finalized or systems that would play for that environment weren’t finished. You’d be surprised the amount of work that is thrown away due to not being finalized even if it’s at 99%.

For the elevator I was actually able to hack the panel, and actually got it to the 2nd floor before the NCART Station, though you couldn't walk through the door, you needed to jump onto a ledge, and then crouch to climb through, since it actually acted more like a window than a door, but without glass.

looks like the building itself was meant to be a garage for NCPD vehicles and AVs apparently. maybe the metal gate the second walkway leads is the NCPD headquarters or something.

Even if Orion ends up being a masterpiece and delivers everything that was promised in 2077...it will never be the same thing, unfortunately. This game will always have this strange feeling of abandonment, even though CDPR did make an effort for it to be as good as it is right now. If the game was bad, no one would care, but when you think about all these places we will never get to see...you literally become that guy from the "let me in!!!" meme xD. And the worst part about all of this? What about the 2nd expansion? I know it was cancelled, but that's the thing: wtf was supposed to happen in the second expansion??? Part of me thinks that a second expansion was never planned, after all, we all kinda knew that Dogtown would be the place for the 1st expansion even though we didn't know the name at the time and sure, the second expansion could've been around that abandoned Casino and that would actually be a great contrast with Dogtown because it is around the most rich area of NC, but I have so many questions... I'm sorry, I might be the only one who wants this (and I know that's not gonna happen, so let me dream) but before thinking about Orion, I want a remake of this game, I'm not ready for the "next thing" yet.

love these videos!

i think it's more of a terminal/port for flying vehicle, for fast travel, but since they write off flying vehicle it's pretty much abandoned.

First!! :D nice vid, love ur content I hope one day they add a world editor

I bet that there were supposed to be a lifepath of V that we could be joining NCPD or V would be taken into the NCPD in a mission, but CDPR had to cut it because console hardware limitations, we know that the immediate area of entrance to H10 were so packed with contents, there is no way consoles could ever runs them all at once.

Making me want to parkour throughout the city again... especially Watson... it's so easy but dynamic. I remember seeing this big green building with a cool garden on top of it... then after taking the time to jump all the way up to the top of it by way of doublejumping and mantling AC units I realized I had just manually climbed all the way up to the Soviet fixer's penthouse 😅

Looks like stuff well suited to be the hub of the postulated / suggested "Snatcher style" Cyberpunk spin-off game I keep suggesting as such a game give plenty of excuses to finish this stuff. & there is a nice thematic balance to the idea of playing a Night City investigator of a plot involving fake humans as a cop when the play in 2077 has the potential to be fully mind jacked by the ghost of Jonny Silver Hand and is basically a criminal / mercenary. & we had one investigation plot to act as a template for such a game too and there is even a bit of that sort of thing in the DLC. also Vehicle combat could be further improved by such a game too. I wouldn't mind it being an asset flip that isn't a big deal for me if the consequence of it is to "finish" Night city I'd consider that a good thing.

This game could have been so much. With a guess - 98% of buildings are non-interactive, it does make the city feel less believable. Still to this day stores have no shop attendants in them and very few you can buy things from.

Could you do the Mayor's building?

I love your videos bro

damn how many things have we never got since you got a whole series on that

I feel like this building was linked to more quests with River (remember he’s a detective in the NCPD) but a lot of his content seems missing or cut

Lord knows CDPR could easily return next year for another expansion. Could easily just be side missions and quality of life expansions that enhance the game again. Considering the prison location and this location; REGINA JONES could easily receive a side question expansion. Same goes for MaxTax and Meredith Stout.

What would I give to be able to play some of the earlier versions of the game... Stuff like this is more interesting for me, than the actual game.

My frustration about this game is over 9000

Imagine what this game would have been like had they the time to finish it! I'm thinking GTA5 scale of things to do. Hell its most likely all cut life path content that was scrapped early on.

Firstly, if we're gonna use the 2018 demo as a reference it is important to note - while it wasn't a fake build - it was specifically built for E3 and wasn't the actual game. I mean just watch that 2018 demo in depth and you'll see everything has changed aside from a general design language. Second, I don't really find it weird seeing it closed because most open world games aren't fully open. Unless they are fantasy games which wouldn't be as crowded as Night City.

Have you visited the farms area south of Pacifica? I've roughly spent an hours the other day and found about a dozen dead peoples here and there. Many of which with dedicated stories but no challenges or mission per say. But with your Ability to go through these invisible walls you may discover something. Also, how about the solar tower?

Bruhh you should no clip into the cynosure bunker that would be dope😮‍💨

CDPR could release 10 dlcs filling out areas like this the same way they did dog town. what a shame

Maybe it was early early early planning incase the dev's wanted to implement a NCPD lifepath. They were talking about having a techie and a Rockerboy? lifepath early but they scrapped that/them. All pre planning just incase. Or simply mission options if need be. As for the roads , I would think they just ran out of time. It needs to ship to ps4 NOW!!

I think this is also a missed part of the game. I jumped from the NCART track onto the roof of the NCPD building :)

I mean this game super big so I am not mad some buildings weren’t open. But hey sequel will fix this.

It won't be the main building, just a branch.

I am subscribed

Earlier in release those NCART stations and that lift had zero access to them. I think access was added in 1.6, same with many NCART locations.

im 100% sure AVs were supposed to be a thing you could probably drive who knows but anyways id think you could atleast use them at the bare min i find it very weird how theres really no air vehicles we can use despite the fact theres tons of flying vehicles theres even helicopters to. though abit off the topic [still vehicles in general] theres a real lack of anything relating to boats as well theres some boats you can see near docks also that [probably cut cause looks like a super early design] aircraft carrier still out near the space port as well it will pop in at a certain point on the right of that area. "forgot to add this originally but if you spawn them with i think something like AMM they have a destroyed version last i checked atleast the manticore does and can be destroyed."

Game Coming Out: Happy Game Came Out: Happy/Sad/Sad Bug Fixes: Happy/Sad(beat) Phantom Liberty:Happy Your Videos:Sad

So Sad. I hope they would continue to develop the game map. Or give modders the option to do so. A DLC I would gladly pay for. Or why not Cyberpunk 2078?

May be for cdpr better would have made first act as separate game and extend night city with dlc and next parts, like dogtown. If we transform all gigs (23 from Regina!!) in watson to normal quests with story and dialogues from short text notes, and add a cutted areas - it could be a 40 hours game with complete Jakie's story

I remember Gothic . Cou cant leave the playable area because its a prison and ther is a magic barrier. It made sense. in a City like this, Gangs, Homeles, Addicts, sometimes all three in one. It would be easy to lock places by block them with "Gang" Guarded doors. -Locals komplement you away by: Gunpoint and nice slurs Like: "We doond like ya'll Folks around these heere parts Boy.* -AllHomeless see you and your fancy stuff and start Relentlessly begging you in a quior of : *Spare change* *Spare Change* *i s**k your whatever* ... -Automatic Turrets (Like intendet i guess) -You are in absolut underpoppulated part of the city thad should not be empty? = Add a girl with an anoing voice who speaks and Laughes to loud in a mind numbing dull Hollocall./ Babbeling and to loud screaming kids Playing. / Nonesense mumble&stumble addicts / Generic Crime Scene -Workers on the job -A Party you are NOT invited to -Danger or Hazards (Gas Leak/ Waste pipe broke/) So much is possible.

Tragedy

Hey, stop looking at comments and subscribe! It's worth it 👀

yo subscribe to this guy already

No matter the patches and expansion, it's still a massive dissapointment. Still feels like a playable demo version of what they were advertising

Your videos never load properly for some reason

after seeing so much cut content from the cyberpunk 2077, I've realized that this game actually have a big potential to be the game that the CDPR promised. but they just ran out of time and never properly reached their target. what if Cyberpunk 2077 is actually released in 2024/2025 instead late 2020, maybe it gonna be great game instead the "most failed and buggiest" game ever created.

Cut mission perhaps. Grind rushed the game.
