You're right, Maniac Mansion definitely has the vibe I'm looking for but there's no way I've got the patience for a point-and-click game.

Well that looks perfect, thanks!

The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku—a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!

 

This game looks similar to Observer as a first-person game with no combat about a detective trying to solve a case in a cyberpunk world. At least, that's my understanding from the trailers.

Available on Steam, Playstation, Xbox.

 

I've mentioned this before, but I'm a fan of the Watch_Dogs series. And I can't believe they're actually making a movie for it. I have no doubt this movie will be terrible but that won't stop me from seeing it in the theater. Can't wait!

I have the default comment sorting set to "Top". In this latest build it seems to be ordering them by "New" instead, even though the icon at the top still shows "Top". If I change the sorting type to something else and then change it back to "Top" the sort appears to be correct. So it looks like the default sorting type isn't used when first entering the post but the sorting algorithms themselves still work.

I've been wanting to watch this show but it's never available for streaming in the US. 😞

 

Released in 1995 (the same year as Hackers and The Net!) and I've never heard of this movie. I think it was direct-to-video though, and there are plenty of terrible direct-to-video movies from that time.

Here's a description of the movie from someone's review on imdb:

An evil billionaire develops a weapon that will entrap its victims in a catatonic state of virtual reality. His girlfriend steals the disk (back when DVD discs were considered a big deal) that creates the software for the weapon and amazingly, it's the only copy. She makes friends with a sailor who helps her escape, and they put the software in a tattoo on his back.

Here's a trailer. If you think you can stomach it, the entire movie has been posted to youtube. For what it's worth, one of the reviews says there's a lot of nudity in the movie but I guess it isn't enough to trigger youtube's algorithm for removal. I think it's a little too low-budget even for my tastes so I haven't tried watching but maybe someone here might be interested.

 

I happened to stumble upon this today and wanted to talk about it. Bujji & Bhairava is an animated 2-episode mini-series (15 minutes each) prelude to one of the most expensive Indian movies ever made, Kalki 2898 AD.

Now, as far as I can tell from the trailer, Kalki 2898 AD doesn't actually look cyberpunk to me. It looks more like Stargate or Gods of Egypt, where "the gods" have glowy futuristic technology but the humans are just living regular (non-scifi) lives. Yet this 2-episode animated prelude absolutely takes place in an Indian version of a cyberpunk city. The main character is a high-tech low-life bounty hunter who finds an android head and installs into a car to help him capture bounties. He's trying to make enough money so he can enter The Complex. Although I can't tell if The Complex is where all the rich people live (which would be even more cyberpunk) or if it's where "the gods" live (which I'd call less cyberpunk).

Anyway, these two 15-minute episodes are available on Amazon Prime. And the movie they're leading up to, Kalki 2898 AD, releases on June 27.

Nivalis is a life sim set to be released in spring of 2025, from the makers of Cloudpunk.

Awesome, thanks!

Wow, this whole post looks weird in Raccoon. I embedded two images in the post body and those images are overlapping and covering the text. Also, I put a dollar sign in between parentheses in both the title and post body and both characters are missing, just like in my screenshots.

Also, it'd be nice if that community list was sorted. I believe it's sorting each individual page as that page is fetched, but not sorting the full list of communities.

 

I posted the reveal trailer for this game a couple months ago but at that time all you could tell was that the game was set in a cyberpunk world. Now there's a gameplay trailer and it looks a lot like Observer to me. That is, as far as I can tell, it's a walking simulator (no combat) about a detective investigating a crime.

Also, if there are multiple top-level comments without any replies next to each other, clicking the down arrow will skip past all of them and jump to the next thread that does have comments and puts that last comment from the previous thread at the top to show the next top-level comment below that thread.

It took me a while to figure out what was happening for this one. It can jump really far if there are lots of top-level comments with no replies.

 

I don't think the original Perfect Dark was cyberpunk (it was mostly about aliens, right?) and this new Perfect Dark doesn't really look cyberpunk either so I probably shouldn't be posting it here. But something about the gameplay/setting looks like a solarpunk version of the Adam Jensen Deus Ex games so I still wanted to share it with this group.

I don't know. I'm not sold on this new reboot, but I'm intrigued.

Works great, thanks!
