Including any movie, TV show, video game, book, anime, whatever. What's your favorite depiction of cyberspace?
Maybe Hackers?
Or Lawnmower Man?
Maybe Ready Player One?
Or the video game Rez?
Or, I don't know, Tron?
Or maybe you prefer the "consensual hallucination" of Neuromancer? Or the Metaverse from Snow Crash?
Your avatar can look any way you want it to, up to the limitations of your equipment. If you're ugly, you can make your avatar beautiful. If you've just gotten out of bed, your avatar can still be wearing beautiful clothes and professionally applied makeup. You can look like a gorilla or a dragon or a giant talking penis in the Metaverse. Spend five minutes walking down the Street and you will see all of these.
When I say "cyberspace" I'm thinking any computer-driven virtual world you can navigate through in the first person. And personally, I'm excluding any virtual worlds that look identical to the real world. So I'd exclude things like The Matrix and The Thirteenth Floor.
What do you think? Which cyberpunk work created the best cyberspace world?
I always liked System Shock's cyberspace, but that's probably just nostalgia lol. I just loved the idea of having full and pretty intuitive control over all 3 axis when flying, I had never seen that done in a videogame before at the time.
The remake's cyberspace is pretty cool too, and the music slaps.
You're right, the remake did a fantastic job of updating the visuals.
