It fuels my nihilism and cynicism.

it's a great A E S T H E T I C

It's how I always imagined the future would be when I grew up.

Too bad, eh?

It's cool

How can people even like cyberpunk?

There's been no relevant or fleshed out cyberpunk games or books in ages, the last half-decent cyberpunk movies we had were made in the 80's.

I don't, it's shit and a retarded faggot millennial meme just like lovecraftian.

All of the above answers, plus it's just comfy. Not like a comfy place to live, but a comfy universe and atmosphere to be immersed in. Something about that Japanese city at night with rain and lights everywhere trope is just really interesting to zone out and think about all of the other implications of a 'cyberpunk world', such as cyberization, transhumanism, AIs, governments and corporations, and general technology, which are where the actual interesting stuff comes in, apart from the aesthetic.

Move to Shanghai and live the dream.

KIRA!

It's a romantic, melancholic, philosophical, grimy, neon, disturbing bundle of mentally stimulating joy that pushes all my buttons

MIKI!

it's retro yet it's themes are still just as relevant today, alot of rick and morty is based off of cyberpunk/ sci-fi horror from the 80s for example

>Sex robots
>i never asked for this
>Neon colors
>Grim
>It's a what if future
What is there not to like?

What are good cyberpunk games

So, Kira Miki is supposed to be Miku, right?

I want more 80's to early 90's cyberpunk with more punk and hacking/walking into cyberspace.

Cyberpunk 2077 senpai. It will show everyone how great cyberpunk really is, even to normies.

I was always fond of it, but nowadays it just makes me remember/miss my stay on Tokyo.
Deus Ex, Shadowrun for the SNES, Shin Megami Tensei 2.

No, that's obviously Hatsoonay Meekoo.

VA-11 Hall A

It's a self fulfilled prophecy and a romanticism of the environment I'm forced to inhabit.

Because she gets my dick hard.

Dam that visible belly button outline.

Visual Novels:
Snatcher
Policenauts
Va-11 Hall-a

RPG:
Deus Ex + Sequels
Transistor

FPS:
EYE Divine

sort of. In the news articles there is a "Hatsooney Meeku"

I fucking hate how they go wireless with the modern approach to cyberpunk.

Deus Ex, the first one, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Final Fantasy VII

Haha oh wow, that's actually pretty good.
>tfw want to play new Miku games but don't have any Sony consoles
Miku is love.

i originally bought a ps3 for project diva

no regrets

Snatcher

>no one mentions Dragonfall
Shiggity Mcdiggity

Are there any cyberpunk games like in that pic? I feel like most cyberpunk games are just thinly veiled scifi, blue filters with nothing neon and muh government.

The fuck are you talking about?

You have a world wide-interconnected network where people share ideas and trivial things

You have animated bilboards

You have personal data devices that are jack of all trades

You have universal connectors

You have automation of military machines

We have advanced bio-augmetics for limbs and body parts

We have 3 dimensional printing

Real life IS cyberpunk. The only difference is we put a cleaner smaller look on it. We hid the pipes and shrunk the machines, but everything in cyberpunk is a reality now

Satellite Reign is my jam
Is good too

>have to download an emulator for 2 games
too bad it looks interesting

I mean, I really want to play the new games, but it's hard for me to justify spending so much money on a console that I will literally only use for Miku games. None of the other PS4 games entice me, and even if I do get one, I'm hesitant now since there's two more models on the way.

Modern consoles just feel like a PC-lite experience now, and I already have a computer I spend most of my waking moments using.

Where are the sex robots or my robot arm at then?

But do we have neon signs absolutely everywhere and perpetual rainy nights?

Didn't think so

Oculus Rift

Robot arms are a real thing today.

>posts sega cd screenshot
>links to the pc98 soundtrack

wew lad. Just finished this last night actually. Hell of a ride.

Best song coming through:
youtube.com/watch?v=mflsR8RkV9I

Took me like 3 minutes. Just download Fusion, the bios, and the rom. Romnation has all three

It's maybe the lack of cyberpunk games that make people like it so much. Like some sort of thirst.

Everybody loved steampunk before it became mainstream and we all got sick and tired of it.

>robot arm


youtube.com/watch?v=NZNFkMW9uFg

post cyberpunk-music that isn't 80s synthwave bullshit

youtube.com/watch?v=BU_A5p04VXc

>Can't work a emulator in the year of lord Trump.

I'd say we're close. The point of cyberpunk is that all of this advanced technology that we are just now creating and researching is old and boring and commonplace now. Your average low-income citizen has access augmented bodyparts and such.

And the Earth's ecosystem is so fucked that we use machines in order to make the environment habitable. Although that one is actually becoming a scary reality... We will fund space travel not out of curiosity and the thirst for more knowledge and resources, but out of necessity of our survival.

tfw no fun action packed dress em up arena style cyberpunk game

just imagine monster hunter but faster more augments and body mods to keep things interesting

I agree. I love the rainy night in a darkly lit city aesthetic. I often go for a walk around town at night if I'm bored or just want to think. Rain makes it even more calming

the tech

>VR meme = Sex robot
Yeah nah son, when they exist i'll consider this the cyberpunk time

Hard reset

This is exactly why its good cyberpunk stays small, once something gets too popular it becomes tired and worn out. Look at fads like zombies and steampunk. Both were more effective and novel when they weren't saturated with content, most of it being awful (Bioshock Infinite, most things made about zombies in the last 10 years, etc.)

Molly is cute. CUTE!

I like Neon and rainy nights desu

its close but not here yet, give it 20 more years

You will live long enough to see cyberpunk become a reality, Sup Forums.

all we really need is neural interfacing and whammo we have the white polished exterior cyberpunk instead of the 80s grunge metal cyberpunk

At least post the non frog version.

Beneath a Steel Sky is free on GOG.

NEOTOKYO

It's chill
It's nightmarish
It's aesthetic
It's nightly
It's sad
It's digital
It's dystopian
It's dirty
It's melancholic
It's dark
It's believable

Dunno user

>good premise
>great music
>dev is retarded and ruins everything with memes
>barely any meaningful gameplay
Shame.

>Visual Novel
>Gameplay
I do agree with the memes part, but eh the game is still pretty good

>not including the Technomancer

Yes, gameplay. Where's that promised bartender "action"? Visual novels suck ass.

It's like the wild west but with technology

I also love wild west

youtu.be/nMShhlrs0-k
I feel like I'm the only one who gives a shit.

I've heard nothing but bad things about this game. But then again I heard the same whenever EYE released, and I bought it on release and played the fuck out of it and then shilled it for a bit on Sup Forums Have you played it, and how is it?

Really, people playing VA-11 Hall-A expecting gameplay are retarded.
It's a visual novel. A VN. You read things as 95% of the game. Like Layton or Wright.

did someone say cyber west?

The whole X Y -action thing is a reference to Metal Gear. It's Tactical Espionage Action, but it's not really an action game, it's more of a stealth game. Although it does have it's fair share of action.

We need to let capitalism and corporations to get really out of control before we dwelve into actual Cyberpunk territory. But we have the opposite force of enviromental concern and the concept of sustainable development to put capitalism in check right now. So we're still not there yet, we are a "light cyberpunk", or an "embryo cyberpunk".

China puts up a capitalist front to become a totalitarian state and it's a tech, filth and crime ridden nightmare.
the west is not quite there yet, but they're pulling in that direction.

I don't give a shit. Bartender gameplay is not something unimaginable. At all. Such things have been done before, and I expected that here.
What I got was a poor VN by a retard with ebin Sup Forums memes. Although I should have expected the latter after taking just a quick look at everything related, but I though he wouldn't be stupid enough to carry this shit over into the game. Boy, how wrong I was.

Im past the "first city" about 8-10 maybe more hours in. Its really good, if you are the kind of person who can ignore flaws like sensitive camera and walking.
I've been playing it like KOTOR meets Deus Ex. It has flaws like Kotor did, weak writing here and there, but there are some redeeming factors.
A lot of the bad reviews seem to be from how antiquated the RPG is compared to "open world" rpgs of today. It is open world like KOTOR, "worlds" or areas with corridors, no mounts and the like.
Story isn't great, but it's better than any modern Bioware game.
Unlike other RPGs you arnt some super force sent to change the world, rather an unlucky shit who literally was born as Mars falls into chaos over thousand year old secrets.
The combat is alright, again similar to KOTOR mixed with batman with no QTEs. The stances are sweet, 3 ways to fight and switch between with eletric magic boogaloo to supplement.
I'd say it's worth it if you'd like to play a super dystopian, Mars themed cyberpunk adventure.
Also some of the companions are actually interesting like the brillant musclebound mutant, the mentally inept doctor, and the singer turned spy.
Otherwise from what else I can tell the choices make a difference. If you dont side, or piss off, a faction enough it changes how the beginning goes as far as I can tell. I ended up not being a suck up and now I am hot shit, wondering if I played as a suck up if the game would be different.
Anyways tldr; I'd give it a 7/10.

love that album

Oh also big thing, water corporations rule all the cities in the game, and all the people including you so that's a pretty big cyberpunk thing. If that gets you going, you can either work for them, for yourself, or with the Opposition (rebels) so far as I can tel.

New one out on the 26th. Get excited for more chill comfy cyberpunk tunes.

I agree with you, if any country is closer to cyberpunk dystopia that would be China. Corporativism and Authoritarism merging, creating a state with no care about the enviroment or it's population.

Cyberpunk tech is cool n all but it's nothing without the aesthetic and vibe. That's what people like the most about cyberpunk usually. People love steampunk because victorian chic plus DIY gear-wear. People like gothic settings because CATHEDRALS, leather and vampires.

Aesthetics of a setting are its lifeblood. I don't give a fuck if we have neon signs and universal collectors. I want to see street gangs with bright mohawks and american football vests lined with spikes.

It is distant. Unkown to this current lifetime. When I look at a cyberpunk-esque drawing I feel an attraction. Like I've some sort of recollection of a previous experience. I look at the neon clad scenery and I see a cold, but familiar scene.


...
I'm pretty sure this sounds autisict as fuck.

Because it's literally the world of neets.

>wild guns is getting a remake
>won't be released on Steam

At least post the soundtrack that goes with it
youtube.com/watch?v=F9L4q-0Pi4E

We need another game like Dreamweb again

That's pretty cool of them to do that for him, but it was disappointing to not see it really work. It seems they were more focused on aesthetic than actual functionality.

Fukken nice. Marking my calendar.

jesus christ how ambient

>being able to pick up every single item
TECHNOLOGY

>Didn't pick up one obscure item in the first apartment
>Can't progress
>Can pick up a bajillion different items, 99% of which serve no use at all
Wonderful and difficult but sometimes it's CAN'T WAKE UP-tier when you realize you need to restart the game and redo an hour's worth of shit.

Because it gives me good ideas for dank biotech grants B)

So i'm sitting here listening to this: youtube.com/watch?v=-VrsE3lGjnk , with a typewriter in front of me and thinking up cyberpunk ideas for short films I'll write and film this year. It's 20 minutes to 4am, the lights dimmed from a power surge and what I currently got is:

- Bedroom at night. Rain on the window pane, woman asleep in bed, man at the computer talking with an AI on the computer. AI tells him they are sorry for what happened. We get a sense of delusion from the man, as if he's hallucinating or having awful dreams that are shaking him.

I'd like to make it melancholy, perhaps without words and the important shit is either acted out or typed in, with a view of the screen. Perhaps just shots of the room and interactions with things around it.

I don't like most of it. The music is always those fucking Protomen fucks and I'm glad Sup Forums has finally calmed down about sucking their dicks, and the people who like anything -punk are just such assholes.
anyway, night driving is cool and it's even better in a bright futuristic city with neon lights and advertisements

Stick the AI in a dermal implant that projects into the eye and brain. Don't call it an AI. Give it an interesting name. Or shit give it a persons name. Make ppl think he's speaking to the woman only to find he's talking to the AI in his head.

I finally saw Blade Runner. You excited for the sequel? October something 2017

>no vangelis
seriously

You're not alone. I feel very relaxed when I look at cyberpunk images/art. It's depressive tone makes me feel at home in addition to the dreary color palette.

A cyberpunk city is cramped, but in a way that makes you feel comfortable. And huge, which makes you also feel small, but in a way you're fine with. You want to keep being a small part of this cold, yet alive body, with neon lights as its veins.
Sunlight doesn't distract you anymore, rain brings you into the state of melancholy.
Technological advancement lets you isolate yourself more than ever and offers many things you may not even think of at first.
Most people choose isolation but there's plenty of those who start expressing themselves more, in various exotic ways.
Nobody knows how much power the government actually has anymore. But that's probably not even your business.
Many not-so-legal things just can't be kept under full control anymore. You may observe various ev-

Ah, fuck it, I'm all out of cheese. Have this instead.

I'm gonna climb that Eiger!

Hearing Denis Villeneuve is going to direct made me kinda excited

Wait what the fuck? I literally just bought their other album a few seconds ago because of the user that posted it earlier in this thread and now I see this.

It's just meant to be for me I guess.

I'm all for the human AI idea, but unsure about the dermal implant. Short films need to be simple to attract. It's an incredibly common mistake to try and cram as much as possible into a short, treating it as a feature.

I'd like to add more psychological, dementia or schizophrenia touches to it. Honestly, kinda like Dreamweb itself. In that the guy has recurring dreams of saving the world from an apocalypse and he believes in it so hard, you don't know if the game shit is real or if he's just delusional and going on a rampage.
