Rumors Begin to Swirl that Lady Gaga May Have a Part in Cyberpunk 2077 - MMORPG.com

According to French site ActuGaming.net (via PCGamesN), rumors are beginning to swirl that Lady Gaga will have a part in Cyberpunk 2077.

Additionally, the source reported that the collaboration with the Oscar-winning artist will be confirmed at E3 2019.

That alone would probably recoup all of the game's expenses and then some. If it's true, I think it's fantastic. I think she's an amazing entertainer.

Aeander

Gross.

klash2def

interesting...I wonder who she is in game. This is the game I'm most excited for. Mike Pondsmith is a personal hero of mine.

lightening rod I guess.

Some will either see it as a coup (like Ford here) or some will see it as a negative. But regardless it wont stop anyone who wants to play it from playing it or more importantly buying it, but it will more than likely get some people who dont do video games at all interested in some small way. So I guess it is a positive for the game as a whole.

Sign of the times name recognition and using 'celebs' to sell crap is all the rage again.

Like her or not, she can sing as well as act. And like parrot said, she's come a long way since her early days. Whether she makes a good addition to the game or not remains to be seen...

I hope not

BlueThunderBear

Huh...neat. Lady Gaga could be great for this game.

Xarko

Fine by me, she's a decent singer and actress.

Everything about her including her fashion "sense" says cyberpunk.

I miss the days when Singers were known for....singing.

Again - i have to disagree. 

Her fashion sense was only there for attention grabbing and shock value.

Cyberpunk fashion is a lot more defined and focused

hell I agree with kano, the world is ending....

Personally:

My only wish is that the game is good and lives up to my reasonable expectations. I couldn't really care what famous actor, actress, personality has a part in it.

Asm0deus

Don't really care one way or the other tbh, I will play and enjoy the game or not regardless of which famous person did what for the game...if it's even noticeable in game to boot.

AlmostLancelot

Who cares?

The issue here is that when a game studio hires some big movie star/singer celebrity like this, they are basically just pissing away money.

Unless said celebrity volunteers to do it for low pay, you could get much better value out of a professional voice actor for far less money.

My genuine guess, however, is they'll get her to do some in-game songs for them.  And, maybe they'll give her some small role as some scuzzy NPC singer in some skeevy punk bar or something.

We've seen several games utilize real songs playing in clubs.  That's what I imagine.

She's a great performer. I'm not a huge fan of her music style, but I think she's done some incredible shows. If I had to choose one female pop star to voice or sing though, it would be Pink. She is amazing, talented, versatile, and charismatic.

And here I was thinking Barbra Streisand

just kidding lol, my wife loves Pink

rojoArcueid

If she does a good job then she's welcome.

If i had a say in who isn't fit to do video game characters then Henry Cavill wouldn't be anywhere near Geralt of Rivia, but if he does a good job then that's fine.

Margrave

Been in love with her since I first saw her.

Anything she does I'm for. I hope this is true as I was going to get this title anyway; however, if she's in it somehow I will have to buy it. No question.

More Like Lady Gag Gag. If she is a Lady Im the bloody Queen of England

Look I am sure there are going to be clubs. I doubt she is going to play anybody huge. Lady Gaga is a gamer.  When someone called her out for being fake she did a whole twitter thread about Bayonetta and talked about mechanics not even I knew about it. It's possible she was just a fan of Witcher 3 and asked if she could play some singer is a club or something.

shouldn't matter, still I hope not, even more if this was the case, then it was a no reason at all to have her

Poison_Girl

What a surprise... I hope we can see it very soon.

Lady Gaga will do fine. You don't have to be Meryl Streep to be cast in a video game. Just be glad it's not Wil Wheaton and count your blessings.

I think she is giving you her poker face right now...


"Mum mum mum mah
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face"


Just takes me right back to Neuromancer, soooo Cyberpunk.

Actually the old Cyberpunk RPG motto was, Style over Substance, which I think she fits perfectly.
