Today is a day where we focus on the truly confusing...could you imagine having a universe where crime and corruption is as common as breathing, yet no functional prison exists to counter it?
Just like Cyberpunk 2077's missing (or only recently added) police system, it's no surprise that its prison system is in the exact same boat. This place does exist, but it's really just a shell for what could have been.

This isn't nccart or arasaka docks situation, there is no indication of any cut content here. Just a cool LOD model with some ambient scenes set up on its edges to populate the space. If anything its a bit underwhelming compared to the petrochem facility just across the road

@lukasjech9954 8 ай бұрын

The prison (or as it's called internally detention center) is really just meant to be a landmark or set dressing, there's nothing in the game that would ever suggest otherwise, no cut content to be found anywhere, which is usually not the case. Also not many modelers worked on this specifically, as CDPR and many game studios use so called "kit-bash" technique, where you have premade general purpose sections like walls, floors etc... and they build stuff from it, there's not a signle prison specific model made for the game except for the "NC PRISON" sign... but obviously even just building the stuff from pre-made asets would take some time... so it's probably like a week of work worth for one person (excluding all the paperwork and planning ahead of time) And since there's nothing cut, their work has been worth it as others have said

I think people need to realize that Night City is a city within the lore of cyperpunk and when they were developing the game the first plan of attack was to build a believable night city that the player can become immersed in. Just because a building or area doesnt have a mission connected to it doesnt mean its "cut content". The city is the content. V's story isnt Night City's story. It was around way before V and will be around way after. These areas and buildings have a purpose even if they serve no purpose for V.

I love these videos, however I do think that at a certain point people are just phishing for things to label as cut content. Some things are just made for atmosphere and worldbuilding, and that's okay. If they didn't include some of these shell buildings, people would say the world wasn't fleshed out. Some of my favorite CP2077 videos to watch are the ones where people tour the city and just walk through the streets, so I appreciate the fact that they put the prison and Petrochem facility in that block instead of another chunk of megabuilding city stuff; it adds to the variety and realism of the world, even if it's not playable.

Generate the playable area, have different artists work on different areas and fill in EVERYTHING with a believable city, but in low-definition, and then when it came to deciding actual gig locations, adding more details to those areas.

To me, I'd say that the tower (what you called a power generator) would be the main cell block of braindance locked prisoners. Having the dangerous prisoners trapped in braindance would cut down on operating costs, because it would be private prison. If the police system was further developed you could be put in the yard till you pay off your fine. and the yard area could be used for side quests too; questioning prisoners for information, that kind of thing.

"That prison played a part in River's (who was called Sobchak back then) main quests, however later those were replaced by Takemura's storyline. It wasn't a big part, since we were only supposed to visit this location twice to talk with NPC's, but fairly crucial in terms of narrative. In the first prison scene V and River interrogated a witness and in the second one they would return to talk with a psychologist who was taking care of said witness. After Takemura's introduction, that River main quest was partially merged with a sidequest about Lucius Rhyne's investigation (River, in fact, didn't appear at all in the old version of that sidequest). Since the main storyline was rewritten around inclusion of Goro, that prison location was simply no longer needed (outside of one of the possible River's endings). The main reason behind that change seems to be that developers decided the Arasaka storyline would work better narratively by having a Corpo character as V's "partner", as well as incorporating some general changes they made to Arasaka's plotline (for example, in the older version Hanako was more of an antagonist, rather then potential ally/wolf in sheep's clothing)."

ah thank you for covering this part of the map! I stumbled upon this part recently and tried seeing if I could break in. I blasted a bunch of quickhacks onto the people at one of the entrances and I started to notice there was a mix between prisoners (with guns for some reason) and some police in the back. The further I went to explore I notice a riot at a different block of the prison with a line of policemen. This prison gave me the same vibe as the Arasaka water front in being a pretty big unfinished area. As for what purpose it was supposed to serve? Well only thing I can think of directly is Joshua Sephenson who was wearing a prison jumpsuit. This is a very shallow similarity but maybe there was a scenario where you'd end up with him being sent back and you having to visit him? Other things I can think of is having the ncpd dispatches tie into this just like the ncpd building next to your megabuilding's entrance. This is just speculation, there's literally no indication of anything beyond what we see as it is and maybe it was never really intended to be fully fledged.

It's weird because we're never really supposed to see over the wall? Like it's high up, there's no little peaks or anything. So for the place to be fairly detailed just for the sake of scenery isn't that far fetched but still odd how detail it is inside and how elaborate the Npc's spawn in. My only guess was that they originally planned to make a gig or side missions related to this place. maybe even add a feature where V goes to prison. But figured it would've costed too much time, money and probably too much for consoles to handle with everything else included. They probably had to pick and choose what to add and the prison was cut for those reasons. So they never went any farther than what we see now.

One is have fun being this awesome killing machine. The other is a brain squeeze that you need to figure out on your own.

My theory is that there was never any plans to flesh out this prison in any way. I think the amount it is detailed and the fact that NPCs spawn within the prison yard is a holdover from plans to have the metro be a usable thing. You can see one of the lines goes right over part of the prison, and another line goes near by. Both would have easy sightlines into the prison yard, and be close enough that there would need to be NPCs visible within the grounds, but not close enough to need things to be too detailed or dynamic.

Would've been cool to have a gig or little side story where you have to steal a guard's ID card/identity, get into the cell block and smuggle some prisoner outta there, something along those lines... "Don't mind me fellas, just gotta transport this prisoner to his court appearance". I totally get that not every part of this game, or any game for that matter, is gonna be fully detailed and explorable but man, Night City is just such a beautiful world that I want every bit of it to be explorable. In the beginning of the street kid lifepath, Jacky does mention the prison, something about it being a "standing room only nowadays" if my memory serves correct. It seems so small for a prison in a city full of criminals...

I think what we see on top of the prison is a vertical cell block structure. Often times it makes sense to build up instead of out and it leaves prisoners with just one way in or out of the prison.

The name of the prison is a Bentham's Panopticon - I thought the same as soon as I saw it.

Doesn't truly feel cut, just unused.

Gonna come back 10 years from now(assuming we aren't all dead from nuclear war or any other manmade or natural disaster) and see if modders made all these place accessible and playable with its own quest. Modding is much more accesible for CP2077 due to LUA scripts, also there's the ability to use AI for voice overs now.

I believe the word you were looking for at 2:47 is panoptic or 'panopticon prison' :)

What about this part is just to let prisoners see sunlight but the big part of the prison is underground :)

@munchinmomo 8 ай бұрын

I would love if someone made a mod like the functional metro but for these kind of areas, making them usable for some random porpuose

It's honestly insane how much of cyberpunk's map is just cut or unfinished content. Never realized just how much of it there was until let's started watching your vids. I guess it's a compliment to CDPR bc the world never felt as empty as it actually is atleast to me it didn't.

Strange for sure. 7:03 there's windows in the round building with some sort of low res interior texturing, not able to make out what it is, just looks like a mess of copy and pasted textures with no rhyme or reason.

100% prison was meant for somthing because there's hidden invulnerable guards in there too. But the quest/gig definitely got scrapped early.

i remember first time i got there, there were some gang members, and as i shot em down police on the other side of fence aggro'd on me, so i had to shoot them down too with my magnetic pistol, but i was absolutely surprized you cant go inside, as the door remains shut and all those ncpd members and droids keep shooting you from the other side of fence man, that was awful
