Mmmmm... not sure about. The game is actually based on the Cyberpunk pen and paper RPG which dates back to 1988. Cyberpunk seems to be heavily based on Blade Runner. It seems he first appeared in the Welcome to Night City supplementary booklet. And from what I read, the original inspiration for Johnny Silverhand was David Bowie from 'Labyrinth'.

And no, no, I'm no walking encyclopedia. I just looked it up.

But all this being very interesting, I wonder how CD Projekt RED will fix the disaster this game unexpectedly turns out to be on console (I'm less informed about the PC version, but from what I read it also has tons of bugs and runs far from smooth on a somewhat normal rig)? After being hyped for 8 years and being in development for almost as long, the result turns out to be rather disappointing, to put it mildly. I wonder how all those licensee holders will react to that? :s
