what is the name of the gun he compared to the senkoh lx?
SCP: Secret laboratory is a mice game with weapons
Something to note about the Overture Revolver is despite being a future gun, it appears to use the same tech that went into that old Russian revolver (whos name escapes me) in that it can be suppressed despite it having a rotating cylinder.
Open trigger guard for mittens?
5:27 the AN 94
The SOR-22 rifle to me looks like if you modified the G2A5 from titanfall to fire 50BMG, they look kind of similar in form factor and both are semi automatic.
I think that revolver is the first time ive seen cylinder gap gas in a video game. Props
The angled down magazine on the one rifle reminds me of some of the magazine adapters for the FN Minimi, which I thought were fake when I first saw one in Rainbow 6 because it looked so weird. I presume they come out at an angle because the larger magazines an LMG wants to use would probably get in the way of your arm if it came out straight.
The kyubi reminds me alot of the mk47 mutant which is part ak and part ar
The Zhou shotgun looks a lot like the metal storm. That electrical fire support weapon?
The only thing close to that eight barrel shotgun is metal storm weapons
Perfect timing for johnny to nuke arasaka
Interesting question raised I think about handguards as the technology improves and if it did end in a Cyberpunk 2077 type of place. The point as I understand it of having rails on the gun as opposed to big handguards is to allow attachments (obviously) but what happens when all or most of the attachments can come baked into the gun electronically as we see in Cyberpunk? If you don't need to attach a red-dot or torch or different foregrips because the gun has a technological/electronic way of providing all those options then might big heat shield style hand guards come back into fashion again?
I see the RAK, I click. What can I say? I'm Polish, a simple creature.
Would be rad if he did one for the guns in Cruelty Squad
Good choice of date to upload a cyberpunk video. Rock on 🤘
still hoping for valkyria chronicles and or perfect dark for the N64.
Still waiting for the day where it isn’t “firearms expert” and instead his name, Jonathan Ferguson.
I appreciate these videos but may I suggest more in game imagery instead of the talking head?
There are so many cool firearms in Cyberpunk, can’t wait to see what they’ll add in the DLC.
I strongly suspect that the idea of the guns not having as many attachment points is that, quite simply, they are in the user now. Low light/thermals? Optics upgrade. Targeting? Smart link and optics. Recoil control? Cyber arms. IIRC there was an option in the early rules (haven't played in decades) to add a smart link to the gun which would relay a view from the muzzle to the users eye, much like IHADS but with the monocle built in to the person.
One thing I was expecting him to mention but didn't: on the gun at 17:40, he mentions the AR15 charging handle but the player actually charges it from a charging handle on the left of the gun so the charging handle appears to possibly just be cosmetic.
While the commentary about the gun at the final segment (regarding the barrel shroud being a reversion from preferring having accessories) is valid from a purely firearms perspective, how would the criticism differ with the knowledge that cybernetics are a huge component of the game, the player character has a replacement eye implanted early in the game (which enables Augmented reality components, as well as magnification capabilities) wouldn't that make modern rail-mounted accessories redundant? And in that case, may as well do something useful (even if it's making it easier to grip the barrel shortly after firing?)
The Jatimatic definitely looks like a syfy weapon, even the name sounds right 😂
"I wonder how that disclaimer stands up in court"
Seeing as it's made by a megacorporation, and pretty much the only people using it, and therefore sueing, are going to be Poors, pretty well I'd guess.
1:42 that shotgun is like the metal storm system built into a hand held firearm. multiple barrels with electronically ignited, superimposed projectiles
The Kang tao shotgun is actually a smart weapon shooting rocket propelled slugs each one tracking an enemy it's not a volley gun
ULTRAKILL!
I love the Senkoh, quickly became a go to for any Techie playthroughs. Senkoh for close range, Nekomata for distance.
the only "weird" angle gun i can think of is the AN-94
hearing jon say "titanium nitride" made me react the way jeremy clarkson did when saying "silicon carbide" during his impression of a Porsche engineer.
Great job GameSpot for using the game's photo mode to show give Jonathan a better look of the firearms. I must say, CDPR should be commended for creating great gun designs that even Jonathan appreciates, and the actual gunplay in the game is really good considering that it's the first time CDPR made a shooting game, and this is coming from a long-time R6 Siege player.
I'd like to point out though, GameSpot, that the expansion is called Phantom Liberty, not Phantom City.
Oh I see what you did there with the upload date. This is like the new year for Cyberpunk 2020/RED/2077 fans.
"Why does it have teeth?"
If I had a nickel for every time Jonathan has asked that, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
5:28 Fusil Automático Doble. A bullpup assault rifle with a left cantdd magazine feeding system
The "volley gun" as you named it, which isn't necessarily wrong, i wish had showed it in use. It actually fires homing gyrojets. It's one of the game's smart tracking weapons.
I may be wrong but what about the m249 SAW? Doesn't it take m4/m16 mags at a slight angle?
warhammer 40k darktide
I think Jonathan forgot about the Zip 22 when he's discussing the Slaught-O-Matic.
A point on the last one, didn't somebody make an AR lower that accepts AK mags and fire 7.62×39? I seem to remember it being called the Mutant or something in that vein.
All of these Power / Smart guns are fun to use, but let's be real. At the end of the day, you return to your Tech guns and shoot these gonks through walls like a true Solo… 😀
I beat this game but i never saw or get these weapons. I don't remember playing that game a lot because TBH, is not memorable or a good game.
I see I need to go back and look at the weapons in cyberpunk. Because I didn’t recognize at least 4 of them from the video 😂😂
Please do an episode on the Rainbow 6 Vegas games. And please do an episode on Johnathan’s epic T-shirt collection.
yes
The Slaught-o-Matic is peak late stage capitalism, I love it
Please return to CoD:MW2 multiplayer guns. Also 5th season introduced transparent blueprint from not-SCAR (Taq-56, bluprint name Caliburn) so it would be nice to see Jonathan reaction to that.
I love the idea of that disposable pistol. I guess the designers were thinking of the disposable Kodak camera. Even with the camera, it was well known that the last few shots on the roll are more likely to turn out bad or not come out at all.
How bullet spongey is the gunplay in Cyberpunk. Pass
CP77's approach to everything was/is an ironic dichotomy of style vs substance on street level and tactical tech over raw power on the corporate level. I love how you could start a new character build and choose what kind of weapon to stick with (power/tech charge/smart homing). Sadly my series X broke yesterday so I won't be revisiting anytime soon.
