Cyberpunk

Slyth is a movie about a group of high-tech low-lifes who happen to be the best e-sports team for some virtual reality first-person shooter. All of the establishing shots over the city show that the movie takes place in a cyberpunk world, but the plot is actually about the team hitting someone with their car which gives that...

It might be hard to tell from this crazy kinetic trailer just what the hell KILLTUBE is. Well, apparently it's a movie with a target release date of 2026. The creators are calling it "Edo-punk" and sure, why not. It still looks cyberpunk-adjacent to me....

Amazon has been trying to recommend this book to me for awhile but I've always ignored it. My main issue is the title of the book, Cyberpunk City. That's so generic the author might as well have called it "My Cyberpunk Story". And while the cover art looks great, it's also your generic "person looking out over a cyberpunk...

Samurai Jack was a great show, there's no question about that. But when I watched the first episode and he arrived in that cyberpunk city, I was really excited. A samurai from the past exploring a cyberpunk future? That sounds amazing....

Anno: Mutationem is a weird game. First of all, it looks amazing. They totally captured the cyberpunk aesthetic. But in my opinion, the gameplay is just 'ok'. It isn't bad by any means, it's just generic....

I've been thinking about Gamer for a while and I've been hesitant to post about it because it really is a bad movie. But I also think it firmly falls into the cyberpunk category. So here we are....

The last webcomic I recommended was Black and Blue. This one has a lighter tone, and has got some superhero influences, though I think it still falls under cyberpunk....

What are your favorite old-school cyberpunk video games? I’m not convinced there’s anything worth playing from the ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64 era, but maybe the NES/SNES/N64/PS1 eras had some good cyberpunk games?...

I don't typically browse kickstarter looking for cyberpunk content but the Almighty Internet Algorithm shoved this video in my face and I gotta admit, it is cyberpunk....

I have no idea who made this but I found it on reddit and decided to share. Here's the full-size image for those who want to zoom in....

When making recommendations, I typically try to ensure something is "cyberpunk" rather than ensuring it's "good". After all, this community is for "cyberpunk" content, not "my random list of recommendations"....

Demolition Man takes place in a world with a large income gap, where the rich (or at least the middle class) live on the surface while the poor (or at least those wanting to be "free") live underground. And there's a lot of futuristic tech involved (like cyber sex!). But this is primarily a story about political correctness in...

If anyone has nostalgia for Syndicate or Syndicate Wars, I recommend Satellite Reign. It's a similar real-time squad-based isometric cyberpunk game as those games. Also, Satellite Reign wasn't just influenced by Syndicate, it was made by the producer and lead programmer of Syndicate Wars....

Embrace the ritual of classic game installation using 97,619 3.5” diskettes!

Time for a vote! Since Lemmy doesn't support polls, I'm just going to create a comment for each option. Whichever comment has the most upvotes wins. I won't count downvotes (I'll have a separate "protest vote" option). And I'll probably give it a week to let everyone vote.

VirtuaVerse is a standard point & click adventure game that really nails the cyberpunk aesthetic....

Classic story, worth revisiting every once in a while....

While it might be hard to tell, I do try to find something to say about each post. If it's an obscure cyberpunk work, I'll try to describe it. If I think the work is more well-known, I'll try to ask a question to start a discussion. I do my best not to just go "hey, 'member Blade Runner??" and "hey, 'member Ghost in the...

It’s 2041 and the gaps in social and economic inequality have left the world on the brink. A breakthrough in science has given humanity the ability to bring victims of a violent crime back to life by backing up their brain every 2 days. This allows an ambitious, young detective the opportunity to solve a case of a murdered...

This game is such an oddity. Depending on how you count it, this is Hideo Kojima's second game (after Metal Gear for the NES). And it's basically Blade Runner but legally distinct enough to not get sued. Yet they also decided to make one character look exactly like Sting from the 1984 Dune movie for some reason:...

Thin Air feels like a Takeshi Kovacs knock-off but given that it's written by the same author, I guess that's ok. Just like Altered Carbon, Thin Air is about a ridiculously overpowered ex-soldier trying to solve a crime in a cyberpunk city and ends up digging deeper and deeper into unraveling a conspiracy. But this time, it...

I stumbled upon a list of the (supposedly) best cyberpunk comics. The list started out with the expected well-known manga like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, but then they listed Shatter and Hard-Boiled. And I'd never heard of either of them. So I'm curious if anyone here has read and would recommend either of these comics....
