This will definitely have a big time, Watchdogs-style graphical downgrade by the time it eventually releases. I do like me a good cyberpunk adventure, mind you!
Hold on, let me check this Madison Beer trailer-ass...
Update: ...ehhh, lol.
Like everyone else stated, lip sync looks funny, some animations look like they need some work which is fair considering this must be very early in development.
Hopefully this turns out to be a Deus Ex type-game.
That guy definitely trying to find out how bad them lips grip
It has the best snow effects and ray traced reflections ive seen in a game yet. Combat looks fun too. Facial animations during cutscenes and lip sync could use some work but the world looks beautiful.
Facially graphics alone are nice, but the facial animation are mid (is that how the kids say mediocre?) The lipsync is off and the women's acting is fairly atrocious.
Graphics look great up until the animation. Clearly not using motion matching. Lots of these UE games have some jank ass animations that really put off the whole visuals
I want to make something clear: the animations look hand made and robotic. As if there were no humans involved in the mo-cap. But that’s what we Europeans call Germans. You’ll get used to it.
Yeah not impressed at all, the animation is awful, guy looks like he's floating around, the models are decently detailed as are the environments but I'm not seeing anything close to next gen especially post Hellblade 2 and AW2 to a lesser extent.
Looks both amazing and horrible, at the same time.
In stills, it looks fantastic. It motion, it looks...
Needs work, obviously. hope the devs get it to an acceptable state.

To be honest; they don't play out much "Berlin", apart from the name. Could play anywhere else. There's not even any German lettering.
But maybe it's not even set in Germany and "Neo Berlin" is set on a completely different continent / planet / space station / ecosystem, just like "New York" isn't set in the United Kingdom.
It plays with familiar and popular probes and wants to hype the audience.
Starting directly with a protagonist who, in my opinion, looks a lot like Ana de Armas from Blade Runner 2049, who everyone has a crush on, makes me a bit suspicious.
Otherwise it looks quite cool, but still very rough and unfinished, I would almost say too ambitious for the expectations. I don't see any really original ideas. Unfortunately, so far it seems a bit like a pawn catcher, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong when it comes out.
The studio's website is displayed incorrectly, but they describe themselves as follows:
We are AAA veterans and experienced game developers with infinite passion, excelling in narrative depth and gameplay innovation. Our goal is to continuously redefine entertainment with top-quality projects. Join us on this exciting journey.
I can't find anything about the history of the developers and what makes them "AAA veterans". The studio doesn't seem to have a Vita since it was founded in 2019, at least they don't advertise any of their other games.
Those characters left me cold (I thought the guy was going to shout Jason! In that first part and the girl has the warmth of a cyborg), but it looks like it could be a fun game nonetheless. Shooty shooty bang bang, and all that.
I think for once we can be legit negative here. It looks like an Uber generic U5 asset package orgy, full of blur, horrible image contrast and saturation, terrible animations through a potato salad of genres, deadpan dialogue deliveries with the most cliche premise possible through cutscenes that lack any kind of sense of art direction integrity. It looks terrible, tacky and like AI prompts.
Yeah, I agree the animations, environmental direction and the overall “feel” is very much AA so to speak, but now they got all the UE5 features turned on to the max.
So when still and focused on characters it looks pretty good, but the seams immediately show as soon as there is movement.
