We wonder where the Chinese tech giant has taken inspiration from… would Cyberpunk 2077 be such a motivational game for Tencent?

Tencent has its annual Tencent Games press conference. Here, they showcased a technical demonstration for a „globally marketed PC and console open-world first-person shooter game.” Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Let’s see the overview they have:

„Welcome to Tencent Games’ Lightspeed and Quantum Studios’ SYN, a tech demo for a globally marketed PC and console open-world first-person shooter game. Everything you see in this demo is not final. We tried to push forward state-of-the-art, real-time graphics in a cyberpunk-style world with an intriguing universe and striking visuals. Our characters are realistic, yet stylish, with various customization features including cosmetics, skins, and extremely realistic effects achieved with our strand-based hair system through cooperation with Epic Games.

Players can choose to play as one of the three factions along with their very own cybernetic pet, each with their own unique customizable looks and traits. Our immersive character and vehicle selection and customization process take place within our open-world universe, so characters can interact with their environment even while being modified in real-time by users.”

If you look at the video below, you’ll quickly feel that the Chinese company might have taken a few cues from CD Projekt RED to make them in their unique approach. Let’s see what Cyberpunk 2077 is: a first-person action-RPG (or an FPS, if you like) in a cyberpunk world. The two might be too similar to each other. (Especially if we consider the customization, which was brought up a lot. Let’s hope this game won’t come with five types of pubic hair like Cyberpunk 2077 will…)

When will this be made into a game? They won’t throw this project away.
