Just a word of warning; that article is specifically talking about Cyberpunk, not a rundown of how the setting itself will be presented in the game.

More likely that the scope of the narrative simply cannot be as vast or varied as initially described. A good example is probably going to end up being the portrayal of media spin or attempts at preserving the truth; just how the hell do you represent that sort of complex nuance in a videogame?
At least the other, more straightforward or combat-savvy characters will be easier to portray, since they essentially just embody a different approach to battle. Still... balancing melee weapons with guns? That's never easy.
One of the ideas Vince had about (the admittedly very early in development) The New World RPG is to make meleeing an ambush tactic by combining it with explosives and smoke. Stab them when they can't see you cearly enough to take an accurate shot.

I'm hoping there's a chance to pick / choose character class. I had heard a rumour that it was a defined character, but that (I don't think) would work as well in something like Cyberpunk, which has no central "persona" to really hang the world on. The Witcher very much DOES.
If they can get experiences in there that don't all boil down to combat, I will be very impressed. The worldbuilding of the tabletop game is fantastic (albeit a bit cheesy when you look at it now!)
So, reveal trailer... seems busy and I do doubt it'll have THAT level of fidelity (looking at you Mr Witcher 3 original trailer)
So far they've also updated the website - and it looks like it's a set main character (They have a name) - now, whether this character is male / female I'm not sure, but the trailer below shows a chap. Lets see how in depth it could get.
There was one blink and you miss it shot of a girl in the same coat. About 1.11.
There is so much sunshine... and palm trees. Not something I expect to see in cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk as a genre tends to have color mixed with its grittiness. Although some cyberpunk lean more on one side each way.
So far I love it. More cyberpunk games are always welcome and this looks like a must buy for me so far.
Also, definitely gonna play the female character.

The first post when it was first announced was in 2012.
Be interesting to see what 6 years of development looks like in the game.
