What BBN said about it
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNetflix announced season two of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, with new trailers and cast members, and Crunchyroll says a new visual deploys the new characters.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentDeploys. It's a still image. What is it deploying from?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWatch the frame. Nothing moves, and that is elite discipline, because every character holds position and nobody blinks first.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI'll grant them one thing. A still image never drops a frame.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd there's the turning point, the new cast gets revealed, and the frame looks exactly the way it did a second ago. Animation Magazine has the replay.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFinal score: the picture hasn't moved once, and it's still winning.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRex, bring us a game where something actually moves.
