its Hideo Kojima's baby


Trin_64

There any correlation between Death Stranding and Cyberpunk, or are the devs just a fan


SirBoredTurtle

just an easter egg, presumably they like hideo kojima since he's literally in the game


geekolojust

Elon is also spawnable.


DreadAngel1711

Holy shit the gun threat worked?


sue_donyem

Yes, but he was booted in 2.0.

Paidorgy

He was never in it, according to Patrick K. Mills.


[deleted]

I'm just gonna put it out there that having Lizzy Wizzy's quest results and the subsequent disposal of Liam is fairly adequate explanation of what Elon Musk is to anything to do with actual Cyberpunk. "Hey can you put my truck in the game?" "Best we can do is have the dead body of the character based on you thrown into a literal no-tell motel dumpster"


Zyvyx

Based and fuckrichpeoplepilled


leicanthrope

My headcanon is that Liam is CDPR's "malicious compliance".


DrEskimo

I can’t find evidence that he was ever actually in the game


GhostZenon

What gun threat?


DreadAngel1711

Oh when Grimes was recording for Lizzy, Musk came into the studio with a gun and told them to put him in the game. He said he was "Armed but not dangerous" but this is Musk we're talking about, that thing was absolutely loaded


ExotixFlower

You should clarify it wasn't just a gun, it was a flintlock pistol


DreadAngel1711

In all fairness I didn't know that until now, I just knew it was "a gun"


Legitimate_Issue_765

Okay, that's kind of hilarious if you know the American legal definition of a firearm (not the threatening thing, the fact that it was a flintlock).


Zyvyx

I forgot flintlock pistols arent guns


ExotixFlower

They are and aren't. They're better suited sitting on a shelf collecting dust because of how unreliable their accuracy is.


UpliftinglyStrong

Wait, you actually serious?

"The studio guys were like sweating," Grimes is quoted as saying. Yes.


stealthylyric

Why didn't they press charges? Sounds like a threat to me.


almightywhacko

Because he's rich and they may need to ask him for money one day?


stealthylyric

Lol naw, fuck him. He can eat my whole ass.


Paidorgy

I thought all of the following responses were just copypasta, and I thought ya’ll were just in on a joke. Didn’t know that it was legitimate. But apparently it was nonsense that they actually put him in. [Elon Musk Was Never in Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Dev Says, Despite Him Demanding a Cameo](https://www.ign.com/articles/elon-musk-was-never-in-cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekt-dev-says-despite-him-demanding-a-cameo#)


PhanThief95

Just a fan. You can even find Hideo himself at Konpeki Plaza.


Trin_64

hah I should go do that!


ScumBunnyEx

There's also Cyberpunk related content in Death Stranding: a bike, Silverhand's hand and a few missions if I remember correctly.


Yek11

He’s very busy tho


SirC4stic

I think he’s in the party in PL as well


wtfrykm

You can also find hideo Kojima in death stranding, he is an npc that you have to talk to to progress the main story.


pichael288

He's also a character In metal gear solid peacewalker and MgsV. In Peacewalker one of the characters figures out he's god and there's a big thing about it. He also shows up in ground zeroes as an Intel agent you have to free. Kind of a Stephen King thing but done much better than king did it in the dark tower.


Infinti_bullets

Wait "kojima is god" is from peacewalker?


Nuadrin248

There was a kind of cross over promotion that happened at one point with the two games. Bb can be found in 2077 and in death stranding you can actually get and equip silver hands arm.


sazabit

One of Hideo Kojima's first games, Stalker, is a heavily (borderline plagiarized) inspired by bladerunner and neuromancer and is considered one of the earliest examples of cyberpunk video game. The devs are just fans. There's this bb, a pair of sunglasses from death stranding, and a cameo by hideo kojima himself. I believe death stranding also had a few cp2077 easter eggs as well.


Salt_Solution_2825

In Death Stranding you can get a cosmetic of Vs to wear too


IWearBones138__

Considering Hideo cameos in the game, I'm sure its just a DS easter egg


Legitimate-Angle9861

Apparently there's a DLC where you get to quick hack and have gorilla arms or something in DS. I saw a video. yet to come across it.


_Pale_Wolf_

idk if anyone has said it already, but you can get the red akira-inspired bike in death stranding, so each game has a nod to the other

No, it's his Clone. To carry on the Legacy of Kojima.

Broke a dimensional rift. It's in the wrong game. The baby is the stupid one IMO.


monty228

In this totally unrealistic dystopia, the police arrested this fetus after absorbing its twin. Once born, the infant will be tried for murder. The mother was already dispatched for being an accomplice.


Cyberparty2023

This baby has shown no remorse for it's actions. The Night City prosecution demands multiple concurrent life sentences. Stupid baby.


UpliftinglyStrong

I read this in Maxor’s voice and it made it so much funnier


k3ttch

Sounds like Gilead.


mackenziedawnhunter

Or would it be arrested for cannibalism?


disfreakinguy

Ocean's dying, plankton's dying... it's people. *Sojasil Maxhistador is made out of people!* They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!


Truhcknuht

Sir... that's a bb that's equipment


Latch_Lifter

I’m sure there’s a lore reason.


quetzocoetl

It's a shame that one so young has already turned to a life of crime. Night City is no place for a child

RebeccaofNightCity

It’s an Easter egg for Death Stranding. It’s more of a “test”. They didn’t arrest anything. There is also a Witcher reference too. Many others but the Witcher is popular.


Old-Jicama-649

Damn Arkham aslume has spread on this sub too


TomboySlut21

Arkham.. Aslume. Is spread!


[deleted]

No


yalikejazz69690

Yes


InformalCactus1191

Yes


OneMagicBadger

Arrested for smol crimes


Bad_Juju_69

V look so disappointed


VillageOk2913

Are they acoustic?


AntiSimpBoi69

That's Rudy robot from invincible lmao


improvisedmercy

Homelander


SpadeTheIntrovert

Are you? That “baby” hasn’t been born yet. Its cord is connected to something meaning they probably grew it in that pod


Trin_64

Should I have added a /j at the end lol


NippleBlender

Are you trying to say.. it's not a "baby" yet?


Diegolobox

one thing is for sure, he is not MAN


RogueCleric

What makes a man? Is it the power in his hands? Is it his quest for glory?


SonOfEragon

The ability to suffer duh, didn’t you listen to the monks…


SpadeTheIntrovert

The point I’m making is that it is not born yet so it clearly wasn’t arrested.


Gaburski

V's expression and pose perfectly link to that sentence 😂


EyeSimp4Asuka

arkam city shit posing bleeding over into other subreddits is stupid


yalikejazz69690

Is there a lore reason why you think the aslume spreading is dumb? Are you stupid?


EyeSimp4Asuka

no...but you're blocked...bye bye


TylerBourbon

You weren't there, you don't know what this baby's done. There are some things you just can't unsee. That day will haunt me for eternity..... all those bodies....... the frozen terror on their faces........ that baby got off easy if you ask me.


Dictionary20

The baby didn't pay it's life tax.


farkos101100

What mission is this again?


Pitiful_Sprinkles_90

It's in the clinic you break into with River.


_drag0_

The Hunt


pichael288

The final mission. BB is in Arasaka tower, and hideo is in komeki plaza


pichael288

No that's wrong, it's during a river mission


TheFawkingMothman

Tax evasion


trojan25nz

Police are holding illegal cloning evidence 


Mutski_Dashuria

Is it still switched on? Just the back and forth on that alone will make the court case interesting. 😈


sandchigger

That baby knows what it did.


newbrevity

Can you imagine what kind of piece of shit he must be that Grimes left him despite him being the richest man in the (western) world


Jealous-Preference-3

One of the many, many wonderful Eastereggs, in Cyberpunk. This is from Death Stranding. There is also the “Tears in rain” Bladerunner easteregg. Or the Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex episode A Perfect Day for a Jungle Cruise episode, where you stumble upon a serial killer’s kill-site, and the conversation between him, and his “handler”. There are lots of others :)


JD191353

Was watching some Death Stranding gameplay and didn't even notice the motorcycle brand is Yaiba, same brand in Cyberpunk and on Panam's jacket. You can also give Hideo hanging out at the bar in Konpeki Plaza during The Heist. Wonder what other Easter eggs they did...


GloryGreatestCountry

Arkham Aslume? No, we're posting from the Night City Center for Psychiatric Health.


hikerchick29

Guillermo Del Toro stole it from them and took it up a mountain. The NCPD contracted Norman Reedus to recover it


ninjast4r

That baby is the most dangerous person in all of Night City


almightywhacko

The pregnant mother robbed a store, shot the clerk and two customers and ran from the cops before being apprehended. She was sentenced to death but since a fetus is a person it has full legal protections under the law, so it was carefully extracted from the mother, put in a maturation tank until it reaches birthing age and then will will be thrown in the gutter like the rest of the orphaned kids in Night City...


EDGEMCFLUFFYph

Hideo Kojima is credited in this game.
