I really hope 203X doesn't go the way 2020 did, with Chromebooks and Maximum Metal-like stuff, which turned the game the game into an arms-race that hasn't anything to do with cyberpunk fiction. I hope they realize that cyberpunk isn't about your character's latest toy or implant (the four-armed character quote doesn't give much hope, though). I hope the main book has some real setting info, not a pointless catalog of guns and cyberstuff.
All and all, I want a deeper, more mature game, the game which most CP2020 fiction hinted at, but the actual rules and setting info never encouraged. Style is important, but it sucks without substance.
Otherwise, I'll just stick with Ex-Machina, which gives me more info about 4 (mature, serious cyberpunk) settings in a single rulebook than CP2020 one did about one (shallow, not really cyberpunk) setting it its main rulebook.
