Kowloons gate is much more cyberpunk than cybercuck 2077. Fucking soul.
Too bad it wasnt localised. If you understand japanese definitely its worth playing.

Another hidden cult cyberpunk game is S.L.T.I. Its a ps2 mech game but a cyberpunkish game.

Snatcher is a popular old game, is a sort of ripoff of bladerunner but still has many original elements.

It seems like we have these two definitions floating around of cyberpunk.
One is the Blade Runner-esque future dystopia / sci-fi noir, and the other is just the punk genre with cyber stuff.
It's kind of weird since I've always heard the former (Blade Runner, a few of the Deus Ex's, Perfect Dark) referred to as cyberpunk even though the main characters are clean cut and not edgy mohawked speed addicts as is typical of the punk genre.

That's downtown, the residential areas are all tall commie blocks, just like most of Eastern Europe.

Ergo Proxy is very CP and has classical stuff.
I'd take an Eastern European take on cyberpunk instead of LA or Tokyo.

If the sun is wholey visibile its not cyber punk. that shit needs to be orange and barely peaking through the foggy surface, while people hide in the shadows of their skyscrapers.

if its anything but styalistic and abnormal, its shit.

Very impressive. its a shame the modelers and texture art for hl2 is so outdated. the art direction for that game is great.

Honestly they should have went more artistic, and made dishonored.

its basically noire and yeah thats essentially what noire is.

Hong Kong by definition, but toyko is cooler looking.

Cyberpunk emerged as a literal genre in the 80s as a reaction to utopian sci-fi. It is characterised by a cynical attitude towards technological progress. The idea is that technological advances will not magically solve societal problems, but may in fact only exacerbate them in ways unforeseen by the creators; hence, "the street finds its use for things". That's also where the "high tech, low life" stuff comes from. The aesthetic was pretty much defined by Blade Runner because it was considered to fit the setting extraordinarily well.

A work doesn't have to have a "punk" protagonist or deal with information technology specifically in order to be cyberpunk. It just needs to have the right themes present. Abuses of technology. Technology widely impacting society. Widening social divides. Crime and grittiness. And, I think, one of the most important aspects: a focus on the personal, which serves to emphasise the inability to make sweeping changes in society due to the consolidation of power structures and the pervasiveness of technology. Cyberpunk protagonists are often anti-heroes trying to make the best of the hand they're dealt.

I just don't want to play a game set in sweden desu.

And of course as I press post I realise I wrote "literal" rather than "literary"

>Cyberpunk protagonists are often anti-heroes trying to make the best of the hand they're dealt.

That seems weird, but I guess it doesn't make the setting so horrible to read when the main character sucks as much as his enviroment.

Are people now discovering that Cyberpunk is an incredibly limited setting? I mean its fantastic for doing what it was created for but fuck me its not like its a sprawling set of world building rules. In order for something to be Cyberpunk it needs to tick a few boxes, its entirely personal opinion what those boxes end up being.

Some need rain and neon and pollution, some just might need some transhumanism and little else.

All the superfluous shit is what makes cyberpunk what it is rather then just normal old speculative sci-fi.

If you want a sci-fi game then just make one, stop trying to make something "Cyberpunk" when its plainly not.

>DUDE AESTHETICS LMAO
I miss when cyberpunk actually had a thematic backbone and wasn't just a collection of visual cliches, lads.

>That seems weird
It fits the cynical tone. Cyberpunk protagonists are products of their environment. One of the consequences of technological advancement is that the power balance gets more and more skewed towards the "haves" over the "have-nots". Hence, there is an atmosphere of resignation to the way things are.

People sometimes emphasise the "resistance" aspect of "punk" but in cyberpunk, resistance usually means a refusal to cooperate with the system rather than outright overthrowing it. People go against the powers that be, but usually because they are forced to by circumstance, not out of idealism.

It is kinda limited, but we don't get many Cyberpunk settings in Video Games, so people aren't really tired of it yet. So as much as i find 2077 a little boring, hopefully it'll start a little trend.

What?

yeah I was honestly thinking of necromunda where everyone is an absolute asshole, so you don't feel bad when everything is worse than garbage.

Thats what it always fucking was though, those cliches is what made it cyberpunk instead of just sci-fi. Before the term was coined there were plenty of sci-fi novels working with the same themes and ideas but it was the addition of all the stylistic touches that created the genre.

compared to what?
Shit like shadowrun says otherwise I'd say.

I like to think of it as a spectrum rather than a list of boxes. I think it's a lot more useful to be able to think in terms of "kinda cyberpunk" and "very cyberpunk" rather than "true cyberpunk" and "not cyberpunk" because it fails to tick the "perpetual night-time" box.

Fuck, why haven't we seen a resurgence of first-person adventure games now that technology can handle the amount of environmental interaction required in real-time? Imagine a game where you can rummage around physics-based objects and inspect them for clues in your hands and freely turn the camera looking for evidence.

Although I guess Observer was kinda that, and pretty cyberpunk to boot.

>even though the main characters are clean cut and not edgy
But they're usually cops or something similar, who have to descend into the gutter to get work done. They're knee deep in the punk even if they aren't punk themselves.

You know what I notice more than anything in this photo? The people. They are smiling at each other, talking, holding hands. Really interacting. You don't have that nowadays. Everyone is always on their phones.. Face down. Its sad.

how is the setting of cyberpunk not cyberpunk?
you can try to argue that the game is not, but the setting is not in question.

energy is cheap.
dystopian does not mean abject poverty and suffering.

Lets see faggot...Do you fucking realize that none of that shit is shown in that fucking image?
No fucking polution, since NOONE is using masks or anything. No fucking skyscrappers since those buildings are only 2 floor tall max. And no megacorporations on sight. Crime, technology? Where the fuck do you see in that image.
So for the retardeds cyberpunk its only reduced to neon lights and rain and night, lets not forget the night... awesome.

This is almost correct. Almost.
The one (but pretty fucking important) element it lacks is the theme of TRANSCENDENCE.

Cyberpunk is, in it's very core, a fictional meditation on the the core Nietzschean dilemma:
"If God is dead, what the hell are we going to do with ourselves now?"
In this case, the "God" means all the "natural" limitations that were imposed on us, that the technology suddenly allows us to transcend: our body (usually explored through the themes and tropes of physical augumentation), our reality (the cyberspace trope), our communities, nations and identities (through social rebellion ortechnology-supported, unhinged corporativism) and so on.
That is the core of a cyberpunk fiction. The question whenever we are even ready to wield this much power over our own existence. In cyberpunk fiction, the core premise always involves technology allowing us to change our very nature, but as with Nietzsche himself was, it tends to be very cynical about whenever we are really ready to for the responsibility that comes with that.

This is also what actually ties Noir to Cyberpunk: as Noir explores on moral level what Cyberpunk explores on technological level: the fate of an individual faced with full responsibility over his own existence, unhinged by previous restrictions and limitations.

That is what Cyberpunk is really about.

I like your Nietzschean reading of cyberpunk but I don't think Nietzsche is an explicit influence here.

Then go read "Petra" by Greg Bear, or any interview with Stirling. Nietzsche has always been at the root of this genre, as it was at the root of a LOT of fiction in the first half of 20th century.

It's not a fucking rule, can't you read? When you're making a dark fantasy game for example you won't make it look like Breath of the Wild. You'll have a more drab color pallet to convey the appropriate atmosphere.

Fuck's sake.

Except that cyberpunk doesn't have to be dark. Hell, Neuromancer literally had a beach planet.

Lmao at all the crying cyberpunk conservatives. The genre is evolving and there is nothing you can do about it.

A bright and sunny day can make something horrifying even more so due to the distinct unnatural aspect of it and likewise, the clean air can be used to a great degree in highlighting how blatant the corruption and violence is within the city, as even at its most "wholesome", aka bright and blue skies, murder is a pastime and hobby and nothing is really sacred to the citizens
