What happened to Vincent Von V in recent promotional material? Did CDPR just left him in that dump to die?

Bro got dumped by marketing since woman figure sells more, shame since I played all my runs with Vincent
Eh i dont mind it that much they switched male v with female. At the end of the day, the game is still good.
I think people just associate him with “bad cyberpunk”. They might still have a reversible cover for the physical ultimate edition though.
They used male V for the base game and female V for Phantom Liberty. What’s the problem with that? Does it really matter? No. No, it doesn’t. There’s a billion things in the world worth getting mad about. This isn’t one of them.
Fem V seems to be more popular so they lean into it. Doesn’t seem that big of a deal.
*CDPR features the female V to balance out character marketing after years of mainly featuring the male version*
Reddit: “Why the FUCK do they HATE men?”
I love male v but i doubt you’ll see him in any promotional material cause it seems like most influencers and people play fem v. I personally like male V more than Fem V but the voice actress did such a good job on her voice lines.
I only played male V once and I hated that shitty New York accent. Female V has a hotter selection of clothes
I mean he was the face of vanilla Cyberpunk as well as the guy they used for all the early promo material. Fem V has basically just been on the cover of Phantom Liberty and now the Ultimate
Male v for base game and female v for phantom liberty .
Whats there to question about ?
A more interesting question is why are they constantly using a predetermined V in promotional art when we create our own character?
Valerie > Vincent 😎
I understand why they went full Fem V in Phantom Liberty, including the credits sequence. But I feel like Male V should have been included somewhere on the cover for the ultimate edition
Literally *everything* except the 2018 E3 demo was male V until 1.5 I think. And at that point I believe all female V got was some images.
Male V got the e3 2018 trailer, e3 2019 trailer, diner trailer, and official launch trailer as well as all the promotional images and front box art at the time.
Fem V got the Phantom Liberty trailer, PL music video appearance (which also makes up the credits), and a handful of promotional images since 1.5 and the box art for the ultimate edition.
Pretty sure male V is still winning in terms of total coverage.
What a dumb fucking topic, that hasn’t ever been made.

Karma farming can go to fucking hell.

In my opinion, actually using either male or female V on the promo materials is lame.
The very first thing you do in the game is to customise your character. The 2 default Vs are the most generic characters design wise, that you could imagine.
I am not a marketing pro at all, but for example this is why I never bothered with CP2077 figurines. For me the 2 Vs are just some randos, I have no attachment whatsoever to their design.
Johnny, Takemura, Jackie, Panam, Judy, are far more “iconic” imo.
Muh representation tho
A few reasons probably.
– Gives both versions time to shine, since Male V was the face of the game since the first story trailer, and Female V was the face of the first E3 gameplay and 1.2 and onward updates, and Phantom Liberty.
– Male V was unfortunately the face of the game’s failure at launch, and Female V is now the face Cyberpunk’s and CDPR’s redemption.
– Gets both actors, Gavin Rea, and Cherami Leigh time to shine as the faces of the game.
CDPR really went and made Fem V look a million times uglier and then decided she’s the new face of the brand. I hate it. The original Fem V was so much better
How is this still being spammed
Yeah i noticed it too.
Before PL every Walpaper or game editions/covers they used both Vincent and Valerie but now its exclusively Valerie.
Trailers, Gameplay videos, Game editions even endings only use female V now. Somebody said that its because Male V is asociated with the old bugged unfinished game but i think its more that Female V is more popular with both Male and Female gamers, look at this subreddit 40% of all posts are pics of modded Female V and every comment praises her voice acting(which is very good) persobaly i do prefer Male voice actor for V because emotional moments hit better/harder with his voice, when he breaks down, fears for his life and is angry these emotions are better with male V
In the end i think yeah they dont show Male V but we cant really do a lot about it, people like Female V and they are happy, comment section here proves it.
The comments in this topic is something else dude just asked a question for fuck sake
I don’t really care for fem V,having played both,I feel like Gavin Drea does a much better job getting the emotions across in my play throughs
After playing Male V I have to say I prefer the voice acting over Female V. But for certain builds, certain playstyle, I still prefer to play as Female V.
My head canon is that Male V is the main deal, especially if you want to become a legend like the other male legends, or leave your body to Johnny. Being a male fits the theme a little better.
I always liked his character design more, but I prefer the female V voice actor
I genuinely believe this is an ESG blackrock thing lol. We already know that blackrock has its claws DEEP in CDPR through their own admission.
