Snooglebum Posted January 15, 2013 I'm annoyed, cause when I got sent the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077, I started foaming at the mouth. Not cause of boob scythe lady, but because there hasn't been a new Cyberpunk game for... forever. Shadowrun, E.Y.E, System Shock, and now Boob Explosion 2077 are the only ones I can think of at all. Can someone please recommend any others? Preferably ones that don't contain Tits McArmbladeson (which I'm sure is her name). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youmeyou Posted January 16, 2013 Deus Ex: HR is kiiinda cyberpunk. And Watch Dogs and Remember Me both will employ cyberpunk tropes. Nothing as overwhelmingly on-genre as 2077 seems to be though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juv3nal Posted January 16, 2013 I'm guessing you mean sort-of current? There's cypher although that's a text adventure that reportedly has shoddy translation issues. Oh I guess the Syndicate shooter reboot kind of counts. never played it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sno Posted January 16, 2013 How is Deus Ex: Human Revolution "kiiinda" cyberpunk? It is all the way cyberpunk, it is practically the definition of cyberpunk. I quite liked the Syndicate reboot, though the awesome co-op multiplayer was very crashy. I think Binary Domain actually has a slight cyberpunk vibe. (It's as if you were the shooty military guy at the periphery of a cyberpunk setting.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted January 16, 2013 Don't forget BloodNet! It has some awesome writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelthedarkness Posted January 16, 2013 Gemini Rue - new, old school adventure game. Hard Reset - FPS from the original Painkiller team, plays a lot like Painkiller. Gibberish plot with and extremely stilted narration that I pretend is a tribute to Bladerunner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snooglebum Posted January 16, 2013 Gemini Rue - new, old school adventure game. Hard Reset - FPS from the original Painkiller team, plays a lot like Painkiller. Gibberish plot with and extremely stilted narration that I pretend is a tribute to Bladerunner. Oh gods, Hard Reset. Honestly, I find that game extremely frustrating. They got the ambience of a Blade Runner-esque thing... but all you do is run around at a thousand miles an hour, shooting men for hours on end. I don't want to shoot up that space at all, I want to explore it. They have a gorgeous world which zips by as you bunny jump around wasting robots with a chaingun.

feelthedarkness Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah, there is a bit of environment interaction, but I always want to go into the shops. I really like the way they do FPS combat though, same with Painkiller, arena style, really frantic. Though, there is also something a little less than satisfying in smashing all these metal robots.

brkl Posted January 16, 2013 Blade Runner by Westwood. It's old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted January 16, 2013 Beneath a Steel Sky (it's free) Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller (it's bad) Burn:Cycle (also bad) Actually, I bet there are a lot of FMV-laden CD-ROM games in the genre if we think hard enough. edit: This is a game that never came out called Black ICE\White Noise that was in development for the Jaguar CD. I think I have a couple of partially working builds of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juv3nal Posted January 16, 2013 oh if we're going to get into old stuff: Circuit's Edge (G.A.Effinger/Budayeen licensed) Neuromancer earlier SNES/Sega Shadowruns Ghost in the Shell licensed stuff, depending on how cyberpunk you consider GitS to be Snatcher Arguably things like Uplink to some extent (there's a bunch of Uplink-alike hacker sims whose names I find utterly indistinguishable) edit: some googling later, apparently the "Hacker Evolution" series, but maybe there are others. was the Christopher Walken Ripper cyberpunk? It was vaguely near-future sci fi, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted January 17, 2013 Ooo, definitely play Snatcher, it's cool. It's got Terminator Replicants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted January 17, 2013 The old Amiga game Dreamweb is a pretty sweet, dark and gritty little cyberpunk adventure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted January 17, 2013 It's got violence and nudity, it's great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sno Posted January 17, 2013 Strictly speaking, they're not pure cyberpunk, but there's the two System Shock games, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regenherz Posted January 17, 2013 How is Deus Ex: Human Revolution "kiiinda" cyberpunk? It is all the way cyberpunk, it is practically the definition of cyberpunk. Technically, they called that style Cyber Renaissance. That might be splitting hairs but there is a slight difference in style: it seems much more baroque and 'heavy' than other cyber punk games. There is a different sense of fashion and weight to their clothing. Of course, that might just be some weird subcategory within a larger Cyberpunk aesthetic. I don't think it benefits anyone to pick that aesthetic for the sake of aesthetic if certain themes are not in there. But it is postmodern, so they can use all these different inspirations and elements. That makes it hard to categorize anything - not that we should. I think Gemini Rue, the Syndicate Remake and Human Revolution have been good, recent titles. Of course this won't be explored as much as conventional Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Does that suck? Yes! Then again, I want them to do right by the genre and not just regurgitate Neuromancer if the execution is not interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted January 17, 2013 Why is Dreamweb so against having a consistent resolution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted January 17, 2013 Probably screenshots from different people emulating the game with different settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted January 17, 2013 Speaking of Dreamweb, it's must have just became freeware, because I found it for free at ScummVM and it was there a few weeks ago. Aren't the Tex Murphy games cyberpunk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
empika Posted January 17, 2013 Great, thread, I need to get up to speed on some of these! I'm working on a jrpg-y cyberpunk-y thing in my spare time. No idea if i'll ever get it finished, but it's the game i've managed to keep working on the longest (although only about 2 months so far.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted January 17, 2013 Speaking of which, are there any JRPG CyberPunk games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted January 17, 2013 .hack, some of the Final Fantasy Games after 6, many of the Megami Tensei series.... Maybe Xenogears? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salacious Snake Posted January 17, 2013 Well, if you want something in the style of a JRPG, then Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden should be mentioned. Its vision of post-cyberpocalyptic Neo New York is… quite something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted January 17, 2013 Speaking of Dreamweb, it's must have just became freeware, because I found it for free at ScummVM and it was there a few weeks ago. Aren't the Tex Murphy games cyberpunk? I wouldn't call that cyberpunk. They're basically just film noir set in the near future. Still awesome, but not cyberpunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelthedarkness Posted January 17, 2013 There an SNES Shadowrun rpg/action game. Kind of rough, but kind of charming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
