The most interesting rabbit hole in the game, left as a cliffhanger, damn.
Wasn't Maelstrom trying to resurrect something in one of the cyberpsycho quests that is connected to Gary's quest?
See, there's one very interesting link that I don't really see explored anywhere. Namely, the eyes. It's the same eyes that the dolls have when they are controlled by the personality chip implanted in them. That practically tells you that Mr. Blue-Eyes and his kind are likely just hosts for someone or something else. It could be that they're being used by a local program – and considering what complex interaction the doll chips allow for, there's zero doubt that significantly more can be achieved. Or it could be that they're controlled remotely. Just like Hanako remote-controlled that doll when talking to V in the main storyline.
But does this give us anything? Why yes, I think it really does. While you rightly point out that Richard Night wasn't soul-killed, there's no guarantee that another technology wasn't used – like mapping out his brain, for instance, or recreating his personality in the digital realm by various means. It wouldn't work as well as Soulkiller, but it could work well enough.
And that's before you even consider that he didn't actually die in '98. His killer was never caught, but that's not the main thing. His life was constantly threatened and it was a matter of time until someone actually succeeded. You can't kill what's already dead, so his "death" took care of the threat. The wife took over and followed in his footsteps, which sounds mighty convenient, to have someone who intimately knows their partner's business strategies, etc. I think we can safely say that it's well within the realm of probability that he just staged his own death and led from the shadows ever since.
And it's a much smarter move than what Saburo ever did. Saburo was out in the open, a clear, visible, tangible target. The "already dead" Richard Night can't even be a target at this point for his enemies. And since Saburo survived much longer than Richard Night, living well over 100 years for someone with that kind of money and influence.
It's even likely that he's still around in 2077 and that he's using people with the doll implant or a similar technology. He can probably even switch between multiple hosts on the fly since the personality chip can take over when needed. And what better way is there for someone like Richard to keep an eye on things and keep them on-track from the shadows?
It could also be AIs, from beyond the Blackwall or not.
nice vid !
These hands pulling the strings are they AI? They must be responsible for cyberpsycho violence
the idea of ai infiltrating peoples cyberware is diabolical and actually something i could see happening if humans ever actually made neurolink or whatever
the mandatory work hrs being 80 is crazy lol
You can see mr blue eyes too when you talk to mr peralez at the end
the only time I felt weak in this game was with the peralez quest no doubt about it and V is literally a monster
Blue eyes feels like 2077s version of half lifes G man, and red deads strange man
What does The Illusive Man doing in cyberpunk?
Another thing if you do song bird ending you will find a blue eyed homeless man near where song birds van pick you up.
If you look above the Peralez's bed in their apartment you can see a really big X-Ray looking machine above their bed.
The interesting thing about the rogue AI theory is that so far we ALWAYS see red colors. The Blackwall (which is an AI), Alt, Songbird, the core, the Cerberus robot, etc. are all depicted as red. Songbirds eyes are red too, not blue. Minor detail? Perhaps. But maybe it's also a clue that either the blue eyed ppl are not AI or, at the least, not ROGUE AI from beyond the Blackwall. Imagine different AI working behind the scenes to protect humanity FROM the rogue AIs. They are morally more neutral and ends justifies the means sort of entities, thereby explaining why they do horrible things to ppl like Jeffersons. It's for the good of the collective. Just my 2 cents!
At the end of Phantom Liberty when sneaking through the spaceport I thought I saw a man see me from an office window from afar me only for to zoom in and see Mr Blue Eyes. He is the G Man from Half Life of Cyberpunk.
I think MR. BlueEays have deal with SoMi thats why even if my heart say save her my brain say Reed is better option.
It is like in Witcher3 where you save one person and then goung back you see that all village is gone.
Mr. Blue Eyes is just a person( likely Morgan Blackhand) being controlled by a rogue AI. His eyes are blue because everyone’s eyes turn blue when they link up so his eyes show the AI is always in control. He is the rogue AI who is also trying to mind control Jefferson and his wife.
After playing the DLC, you get to see how shockingly grim the situation is. The cyberpunk universe is doomed.
These AI's are extremely powerful, and brilliantly, it seems every weapon can be entirely controlled by them. That's just the beginning what happens when these AIs take control of the factories. Start improving themselves.
The wall has failed, if anything; it's just a facade at this point. We've seen that a powerful AI can pass through it "Alt" could. I wouldn't be surprised if the powerful AI's are keeping the wall up so humanity still thinks they're still safe.
I think Morgan Black hand is not Mr Blue Eyes, but rather is still a solo working with them.
So
Did anybody catch the dioouge between v and songbird where if you ask where how she got black market clinic to take her in if you don’t betray her she tells you that a man with blue eyes approached her and if you do don’t fear the reaper you get a mission to go to space for mr b I don’t think it’s the last time will see v just my speculation
Why is mike so anal able blackhand?
My theory is the blue eyed individuals have had their consciousness uploaded and merged with an AI. They're consciousnesses being streamed to bodies, Hence the always glowing blue eyes meaning they're always receiving and sending data. Modern Neural links and Processors can only handle so much, so the actual consciousnesses are kept in a similar program to Mikoshi, Where they stream themselves into bodies. Could be their own bodies, Or even a stream of clones bodies. Cloning is extremely common in the 2045 tabletop setting (You can have a severed arm regrown and reattached for around a hundred eurobucks) , So canonically it's had another 32 years to advance beyond that.There's even mentions of Night Corp and Biotechnica working together in partner projects at times, So there's another cloning link.
I believe Night Corp uses Neural Ports to reconfigure peoples minds and build towards Night City being a utopia to survive the coming fifth corporate war and fall of the Black Wall. It's a twisted version of the benevolence Richard Night envisioned, A Utopia of perfectly configured drones operating unknowingly beneath A.I. enhanced consciousnesses. There is a lot of possibilities, Especially when you look into the broader canon. Bartmosses corpo-drones, The REAPER A.I. (A Netrunner that merged with Rabbids and became a sentient murderous AI Featured in CP RED), And an A.I. Vending machine created by a University student with a 'bio-organic neurochip' he stole from the lab. The theories can go so deep.
Mr. Night…a man who does not exist
If Mr. Blue Eyes is really a Rogue AI from beyond the Black Wall controlling things behind the scenes, intentionally sent Songbird who has Black Wall programs and viruses running through her systems, to the Crystal Palace, has apocalyptic implications for everyone. He even wants to send V up there (with a rogue construct in the skull). It would be so cool to be able to continue that questline and decision path as an option in the next Game to see where this leads.
So Richard Night is just Walt Disney lol
22:14 I yelled at my screen around this moment in the gig i said well you better hope you encryted this call properly because you're next
He’s the illusive man in my head canon lol
This is why I believe helping Songbird get to the moon is actually a bad choice.
Hey I just noticed something. Just before speaking to Jefferson I went to V’s apartment and watched the News it triggered a story about space pirates stealing things from the casino thingy, some prototypes.. weird triggering now? And he sends us to the same place to steal something for him, did they find out that they need more things? Did the pirates fumble and now they need someone more capable? I am 75% that this news story didn’t trigger before.
Like I said before and I'll say it again you got a great voice for these stories thank you 😁😊☺️
Does G-Fuel have "Electrolytes"? Brondo does.
Holy shit…i didnt know any of this…its like a whole other story that was just buried under the surface of the one we were a part of
The theory blue eyes is black hand is cause his in game file name is literally black hand legit no other reason people believe this theory could just watch any other video about blue eyes to find that out do some research next time
I dunno why, but you have no idea how happy I am you brought up Ziggurat.
Morgan Blackhand?
"Nights coming! The eternal night!" I dont think she was talking about the weather either.
Night Corp is scarier than Arasaka and Militech. At least with the other two, we understand their dark endgames where as Night Corp isn't telling us more than they want to control politicians and other affluential people in Night City with mind-alteration tech. We don't know their true endgame.
dude when u said jefferson wins the election no matter what because it was planned since his birth literally got chills
Morgan Blackhand was present during the attack on Arasaka Tower in 2023, but is completely absent from Johnny's memory in game. In addition to this, there also seems to be various gaps or errors in Johnny's perspective of events, which has been attributed to radiation damage, errors in copying his engram, and him being an unreliable narrator. However, if it were just errors in Johnny's memory, why is Blackhand completely absent from the entire attack, and all of Johnny's memories throughout the game? I wonder if this could be related to Nightcorp's mind control technology, is it possible they could have erased Blackhand's presence from Johnny's memory, or altered it in other ways?
So cyber psychosis is caused by AI hiding on your cyberware?
Mr. Blue Eyes is just the fucking G-MAN from Half Life…
Going down the cyber punk lore rabbit hole has been the best distraction from the election weirdly enough 💀
Who else has put in way more playthroughs than they can count, put in probably a thousand hours, and never met Mr Blue eyes
