  • It's that time of the evening guys and gals, buckle up for another adventure that's sure to leave you with an aching heart!
    Welcome to the Arasaka Waterfront in Cyberpunk 2077, a huge port that's responsible for the importing and exporting of corporate goods. It's the hive of all activity, an unrivalled logistical utopia that's yet to be replicated. Oh, did I mention it's barely used? Did I also mention that 90% of it is cut content? Huh, weird, I thought I did.

      ​@@lyianx not like UE5 isn't a B to work with either. I'm a developer & while I don't work with UE, many of my coworkers that do complains about it a lot. It's 100% optimized for artists & not programmers, making programmers jump hoops through C++ for something they can easily do in other engines with C#.
      The real reason they dropped Red Engine is because Red Engine was made with only Witcher series in mind, and even then at limited graphical fidelity. CDPR managers (the same people that pushed C2077 to launch early) thinks they can fix all that by switching to UE5. And just like Immortals of Aveum & plenty other UE5 games, simply switching to another engine won't ever be the solution.

There is a lot of possibility and potential.

      @@JudgeNicodemus A lot of that is really up in the air with Cynosure's reveal. We really have no idea how big Cynosure actually is, so Cynosure could be all there is underneath the city. If I'm remembering correctly, though, there was some intention for there to be an "undercity" in this game, i.e. certain parts of 2020's NC would be explorable as dilapidated underground ruins, as 2077's NC was literally built on fill made from the skyscrapers of 2020's NC. That could've been what ended up turning into Cynosure.
      Also, I just wanna be clear, they're not actual vamps & werewolves. The vamps are either people with certain cybernetics that have formed a weird gang & gone a particular flavor of cyberpsycho, or much like the werewolves, they're bio-engineered beasts, or humans spliced w/ animal DNA. Like The Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man. I just feel like given CDPR's other franchise, people should set their bars accordingly; they're not gonna be flinging spells at or shapeshifting in front of you.

    That little dock area was intended to house the Arasaka aircraft carrier Gorjira. There was a whole chunk of the story that would have taken you to the waterfront and involved you raiding the carrier. That was cut due to the game being rushed out the door. You can still find the Gorjira off the coast, but it's culled out until you get close to it.

    Taking a wild guess: The waterfront probably got cut to deal with time and performance issues, maybe also when they decided to not include the Ncart train system as it seems pretty connected.
    Think having Takemura's questline be in that area would have made sense. Maybe also some Smasher related things, his presence in the game is a bit bare bones so it would make sense for him to have had more content in an area that ended up being cut.

    During the Konpeki Plaza heist you can listen to mayor Holt talking to an Arasaka representative about handing over even more of NC over to Arasaka. It is hinted that Arasaka wanted Watson or at least a good chunk of it over. Holt hesitated, not out of moral concerns, but worried that such decision would cost him the election. Shortly after the heist he is found dead.

    Honestly, the fact that some of this stuff was never turned into a playable area is more interesting than if it was. You don't see people obsessing over the already-gigantic play area that we have, they're instead focused on bits and pieces which aren't accessible. If the NCART system was in game, most people would use it a couple times then never think of it again... but because of its incomplete state, they're suddenly more interested. Bit of a "you want what you can't have" situation.

    On my very first playthrough of the game I tried for hours and hours to find a way on to the roof of the Arasaka Waterfront. I explored everything you showed in this video without no clip (I couldn't use mods as I was streaming the game at that time). I found a way under it, and into it after just exploring every nook and cranny. I think they either slapped large simple structures over unfinished parts of the map to save time, perhaps as release loomed, or yeah, they indeed had plans for gigs and missions, or perhaps the Hanako ending, in these structures. It is absolutely a waste of space. I know they started and stopped development of this game a few times, so who knows what kind of craziness was planned. Sure would like to sit down with the devs and ask though.

      Steal a kaukaz in watson, park it next to the ncart station from the end of the video, double jump from the truck to the transformator unit next to the wall, then onto the track. Walk into the station on the track, cross it, turn right at the end and jump over the roof after the barbed wire stops. Now you're on top of the waterfront and can go any direction. Metal on the roof is not clipping, so careful where you step.

      Its not a waste of space. It creates a feeling that city is a bigger than it is actually is. Arasaka Waterfront is in actual tabletop books. They needed to include stuff like that in the game. Even if its not playable. Otherwise it will conflict with the lore. And then who knows, mb make this area actually playable with some DLC/expansion in the future. In our case it will probably be used in the next game.

Kinda fits the situation you are describing perfectly. That mission may be the entire reason the district was "Capped off" the way it is.

    Honestly, I don't think it was meant to be unused....I am a technical director and have managed many software development projects (not games). Sometimes a project changes direction and allot of work put into a certain part of it ends up being unneeded, or redundant. It happens on large development projects, just how it is.There is no reason why any dev would go through all the trouble of making that whole area just to not be used. More likely, there were plans for game content to happen there, and it just didn't make the cut. For whatever reason, Leadership changes direction, budget, dev timelines, discarded story content, etc. Similar to "deleted scenes" in a feature film. Production went through all the trouble of creating a set, filmed scenes, etc, but was just not found to be viable for the final release. They could have just decided to leave it in so it fills in the cityscape in this case.

Night City was already planned out and written long before CDPR. They were forced to include Arasaka waterfront because its already there. On the tabletop map and in the lore.

      To make city feel larger. Or you prefer there to be just a huge empty space with invisible wall? And because Arasaka Waterfront is in actual lore of the tabletop Cyberpunk 2020/RED/2077. They cannot not include it in some form.

    Maybe mod-ers can use some AI to decorate with stuff and terminal emails with intrigue.
    I know it's a grind to place and invent minutiae but that if done correctly could reduce chore.
    Even thought not AI, Fall Out 4 had many homes with crap to look at and piece together what happened using terminal messages that made you want to look around and find clues.
    No grand conspiracy, just RPG Virtual Voyeurism that was intriguing.

    I've said before that I think CDPR left spaces available to expand into with DLC's but when the decision was made to move to Unreal, that stopped. Phantom Liberty was already in progress, so it was completed in REDengine, but beyond that and patches I don't see CDPR putting more resources into an engine that's reached end of life. What would be nice would be for them to give the tools to the community to develop the unused areas for fan-created expansions. There are modders who would jump at the chance to create content that's consistent with the game lore and keep people interested in 2077 until Orion is finally a thing

    I wouldn't say it's wasted. It's arasaka property and there's probably no justifiable reason to go (ie break in) there story wise. It's a place for arasaka employees so non employees would have little to no access.

    It serves as backdrop, and because it's unused, it wasn't worth fully developing, and easier just blocking off and focusing on other things.
    It would be equal to Arasaka tower in defense, so it would require a big reason to ever want to go in there.

  • @blubblub3786

  • @Not-Fuji
    @Not-Fuji 7 місяців тому +1

    I'm doubtful it was ever meant to be used, or at least cut very very early. A lot of the things pointed out as evidence like the doors, roads, and props are more likely:
    1. A consequence of how the world is constructed. Roads are semi-procedurally constructed, it's trivial work to draw a line with a Sim City-esque road tool to be sure all the streets line up right. Buildings are made of a couple different "prefab" chunks some of which include doors, and then get kitbashed together, which can lead to some parts of them hidden inside other objects. The deep dropoffs near buildings is likely to make sure the terrain doesn't clip through anything at low LOD levels.
    2. Detailing for visibility from playable areas. Much of it is able to be seen at some point, particularly from Konpeki Plaza. It still needs to be detailed enough to at least fit in with surrounding playable areas when viewing from a distance. Same goes for the train station, albeit with more detail than the road part, since it's likely to be viewed from closer.

    It's not 'cut content' choom.
    The visible geometry in the waterfront is there for the same reason the road leaving night city to the north stretches so long-- it's there because you can *see* it during the Heist mission when you stay in Konpeki plaza.

    @ren4issance-754 7 місяців тому +1

    I’d say the industrial port would’ve hosted _Kujira._ Aside from the endgame, environments related to the corpo life path were all but removed, it’s possible the compound might have served as an open-environment tied to the story, like an anti-corpo assault or espionage mission. After all, the quintessence of CPR - people versus corporations - is either absent or distinctly lacking.

  • @oskarr62

  • @No-vq1iv
    @No-vq1iv 7 місяців тому

    I'm on the fence on this one. The only things that suggest to me that this area was meant to be explorable is that train station with the barbed wire fences, everything else like the roads and the semi-finished buildings were likely put there just to serve as a backdrop when you're in Kompeki Plaza. I mean it's a waterfront, it's hard to imagine what content could've been cut from it apart from a big empty area to drive through for no reason.

  • @legend40001
    @legend40001 6 місяців тому

    I think this area was supposed to be another district of the city full of life. But since they are forced to release the game early, they decided to make it a big arasaka factory for asthetics.. Due to how smart the team and how the story started i think the real plan is to release the game in 2022 but unfortunately we didnt get to enjoy 30 or even 50+ hours more of content because of forced rush to release the game. I said this when i first finished the game 100%. I said this game feels like 50% finished and not 100% finished. When i saw your videos today, i was shocked of how much is cut out its crazy!

    The area has to have some level of detail due to what the player can see from the 'in-bounds' part of the map. There are no small props, graffiti, or trash - indicating the areas were never intended to be utilized in game.
