What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

While it's possible this SPINE game could be good, there's no way it'll get film and TV adaptations. That seems a bit optimistic for game that isn't released yet, has no release date, and no one has heard of.

For what it's worth, here's a gameplay trailer and a cinematic trailer. And it has a Steam page. Like I said, this game could turn out great. And since it's cyberpunk, I'm rooting for it. I'd love a great cyberpunk game. But what little I've seen so far reminds me of Wanted: Dead and that game ended up with Mixed reviews at best.

Ok, something fucking stinks. The Steam page lists Nekki as the publisher and dev. But Nekki has jet only published mobile games and notably Shadow Fight as a multi platform series. That was published by Nekki but developed by Banzai.Games, a Russian developer, which I assume will also be the dev team behind SPINE

Regardless of the current situation, Russians have always had probably the worst track record when it comes to game development.

They probably have the money, because mobile games whole business model is taking candy from a baby, but now, a publisher and developer that have next to none AAA experience are making a new IP with show and a movie???

Like I said something fucking stinks.
