Thread 724053429

Cyberpunk 2077 was a bait and switch which doesn't actually have the bleak cyberpunk aesthetics that the first teaser promised. The bright and colorful goyslop aesthetic we got is dogshit and I'm tired of people pretending it is otherwise.

Defect is an upcoming FPS which is looking to catch the OG cyberpunk vibe. What are your thoughts on this.

>>724053429 (OP)
Cyberpunk 2077 is pretty faithful to the visuals of the reveal trailer. Sounds like you're just complaining that the game didn't focus on the specific brand of cyberpunk you like. Your image just looks like a MaxTac squad, and Maelstrom and some of the other gangs look pretty similar to the guys at the end of the trailer. Regardless, the cyberpunk theme is more than just black and red chromed-up supersoldiers/druggies. You don't need to be an inflammatory nigger if you want to shill a game.

ok retard.

>>724053760
It is by definition not faithful. It was supposed to be similar to the TTRPG and what we got was just a linear experience. I can't complain about the aesthetics but they butchered everything else.

>>724053429 (OP)
>They battle rogue gang factions in intense 4x4x4x4, multi-objective, multi-finale face-offs featuring futuristic weapons & tech.
What does that even mean?

>>724053429 (OP)
>>724055060
You know what it doesn't mean? an RPG. It's a fucking shooter and faggot OP doesn't even know the main appeal of Cyberpunk as a franchise.

>>724056445
>not an RPG
Neither was cyberpunk 2077 lol.

What the fuck are these, Sardaukar? I can't imagine these in Neuromancer.

It's as much an RPG as Deus Ex

I think fucking neo-noir detective stories about what robots be doing.

Oh boy another unreal engine art project that will play like shit at 30fps on a 5090, can't wait

They aren't unfaithful they're just bad, and Mike's newer work solidifies it.

I'll think about it. But in the next thread, please refrain from comparing this to the RPG, Cyberpunk, unless I can choose my class and character.

Since he won't, I will:
It's noir with speculative yet believable near-future tech.

>>724061939
please explain how cyberpunk 2077 is noir?

>>724062032
Nah. You should do some reading instead.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir

>>724053429 (OP)
I agree with OP the look of the game is much more Cyberpunk then CD reds attempt.
For starters it actually features white men and not just woman and minorities lol.
Game look cool, I am a sucker for destructable enviroments and the uploading personality to enmies to spawn downed team mates is a cool idea to not break immersion.
one thing that I have noticed about modern shooters is how goofy your players animation look.
people spend so much time animating the character models and the world to be as realistic as possible but then they keep characters holding their guns straight forward and looking around. making the animations look diffrent to other players then what the actual pov player sees would fix that issue but i don't think many games have tried that so far.

>>724061939
What you just described is tech noir. Cyberpunk can incorporate noir elements but its defining focus is its reactionary rejection of 50s and 60s sci fi utopias - depicting a dystopia in which technology has enabled a number of societal woes, and the resultant counterculture backlash. The punk part of the equation.

The noir visual element popularized by Blade Runner is not intrinsic to the genre. It is a popular accompanying aesthetic.

>>724057045
Dunc is a shitty version of Dune
lame visuals that have zero sense of culture or noblitiy and woke changes to casting and story as well to add "woman power"

>>724054135

>>724063441
What you are describing is generic dystopian scifi, Cyberpunk is the amalgamation of its themes and aesthetics, take a Western and place it in a tropical jungle and it's not a Western anymore, aesthetics matter.

>>724063943
even AI doesn't identify cyberpunk 2077 as cyberpunk

>>724064413
I'm talking about gameplay, but it seems you only care about identity politics crap.

>>724063394
>how goofy your players animation look.
you can't mess with animations much in a PvP game lest it might lead to gameplay complications.

>>724064245
>fighting the Tyger Claws in what is clearly 6th Street territory
What is this?

>>724061939
thats tech noir, which some would call different, or a subset of cyberpunk.
the best description of cyberpunk genre i could give is generally computer-oriented high tech, low/street/urban life, social decay, often times themes of transhumanism/what is actually human
>>724062032
evelyn quests are definitely noir inspired
river quests too

>>724065148
staged to make a hopefully enticing promotional image.

>enticing promotional image
It looks like crap for a game carrying cyberpunk in its name.

>>724053429 (OP)
This looks awful. I'm tired of ploddingly slow futuristic shooters that make gears of war look fast paced. At least Soiberpunk 2077 tried to up the ceiling in its own slavjank kind of way, which I appreciate.

The entire genre is niche, there's no point in tailoring the game to the lowest common denominator who will have zero interest in it in the first place. For fucks sake just go nuts with the gameplay, someone just suspend my fucking disbelief for once instead of post-ironically going style over substance. Give me a game that is as fast as my ADHD grug brain so I can be free.

>>724066890
Just go play ultrakill, zoomer.

>>724066890
>I'm tired of ploddingly slow futuristic shooters that make gears of war look fast paced
Can you name 10? Please I want to play them all.

>>724066890
>The entire genre is niche
Which genre, Cyberpunk? Co-op shooters? Neither is niche, they're as close to mass market appeal as you can get

>>724064137
I mean that line is just describing an overcast sky, it's not intrinsically "cyberpunk" or anything like that. It's also interesting that that line has a difference context now, as rather than dead channels being grey static they're often a particular piercing blue that works just as well.
Neuromancer has a lot of tropey cyberpunk settings like mega cities and orbital utopic casinos for the rich and powerful, but then you get to Count Zero and a large portion of that book is just driving through the Georgia countryside. and I think it really reflects Gibson's life growing up in the rural south; cities were these big almost mythic things to him when he was younger, and it's reflected in the writing of the Sprawl trilogy and his other works.

>>724053429 (OP)
>you get a sense of destruction and the chaotic action that emerges as a result of conflicting objectives for you and your opposition - in this case, the gang that attacked you. Those could include arresting or kidnapping players, assassinating players, or some more passive goals like robbing banks or dealing drugs etc.
Reminds me of Hunt showdown but worse. This game is going to be toxic as fuck.

>>724067315
All of them.
>>724067735
There is no mass video game market anymore. Everything was outsold by an indie game about a cartoon bug. Total zombie economy propped up by corporate wellfare and foreign investment. Stuff like this is already backsliding to its pre-90's enthusiast exclusivity.

>>724053429 (OP)
cyberpunk is pretty faithful to its source material actually

defect looks cool also

not everything is in competition with each other, and you don't need to neg something else to promote what you like

>>724053429 (OP)
Is EYE also cyberpunk? It seems this genre is too wide for its own good.

>>724069343
EYE is whatever Warhammer 40K is, but 'legally distinct'.

> squad-based, Immersive Objective Shooter set in the last city of mankind, where THE SYSTEM, an authoritarian AI, rules with inhuman logic. Choose from a collection of dangerous factions—The System’s own policing force, Rogue Police Elements, or a host of gangs vying for power—play with friends in PvP or co-op. Compete to achieve objectives like smuggling guns, assassinating targets, or arresting suspects. Suit up with state of the art weaponry and technology to give you the edge you need to live another day.

The description is confusion. Still dont know what kind of game this is.

>>724070667
From >>724068096, its multiplayer seems to be team based free-for-all type crap. Co-op is probs extraction shooter style.

>>724071162
Sounds like a live service thing with multiple modes and no focus on anything. Lost all interest.

>>724064510
Gameplay wise Cyberpunk is boring , derivative trash.

Few people know this but overall tone shift of cyberpunk 2077 was Pondsmith's idea.
He also pushed for no flying cars and replacement of classes with life paths because he believed those two would drag the whole project down and game would never be released.

>>724053429 (OP)
It's most likely a worthless game if you have to start your shill thread by name-dropping another one.

>>724063943

It was a pretty close thing even without character classes, so I suspect he was right.

So.. it's just an FPS game like halo and such? Who cares then.

>>724069343
It has cyberpunk aspects, and pretty different aspects from wh40k unlike that other dude said. When you're roaming the cities, hacking stuff, going invis and fighting gang dudes it's cyberpunk. I would call it... Psyberpunk... though....

>>724069343
>>724053429 (OP)
Cyberpunk is mainly just a marketing term invented by writer/editor Bruce Sterling to sell the loosely related work of some authors he liked in the early 80s. It has no definitive signifiers aside from “reminiscent of those authors works.”

>>724053429 (OP)
It was never supposed to be that ambitious to begin with.

>>724053429 (OP)
it's funny because that trailer is HEAVILY influenced by CP2077

>>724078519
Yeah, if it will have PvP as the focus and it will fail to have a healthy playerbase, then it's fucked.
But if PvP is optional and the main game will be like futuristic Swat/Ready or Not, then it has potential.

>>724082116
blatantly false. they had a lot more grand plans for the game but cut most of it due to time/money constraints. even showed classes you could play as - think there were 12? - but we only ended up with 3

Embarrassing. Just admit that you want a blade runner RPG and stop whining about things you know nothing about. The aesthetic is the least interesting part of cyberpunk anyway, but thinking this is meaningfully different to 2077 is embarrassing.

>>724061939
Noir is a popular element of cyberpunk but it's not required for something to be cyberpunk.

>>724085328
The dark atmosphere goes hand in hand with the post modernist themes which are highly prevalent in everything that a proper cyberpunk themed media does.

>>724064137
only a philistine would think that one line should lock an entire genre into one aesthetic.

>its a pvp team based extraction shooter
Immediately dropped holy fuck.

>>724064245
Bright colors are an intrinsic part of punk, therefore an intrinsic part of cyberpunk. See early 40k art and a bunch of classic Cyberpunk art. Cyberpunk is not just blade runner.

The color filtering and post processing sucks ass though.

Why is that doing this?

>>724085738
The dark atmosphere comes from the plot, characters and acting, not the aesthetic. You can have a dark atmosphere in a tropical island paradise.
Again, your inability to understand this reveals volumes.

>>724053429 (OP)
the first teaser promised fuck all, if you managed to create in your head and idea of a game from that and the actual game failed to deliver that's on you

That dissonance does not always work and works only in special cases wherein the plot overwhelms the aesthetic. This is certainly not the case in CP 2077 as the effect never kicks in.

>>724053760
>Sounds like you're just complaining that the game didn't focus on the specific brand of cyberpunk you like.
That's mostly symptomatic of it being an open world game. You have to make Night City seem like a living breathing world where people live and work. So you can't have every part of it look as hostile as Blade Runners Los Angeles.

>CLICKED IT
Is it over for me bros?

>>724086948
Sure. But in Cyberpunk's case that's because the writing, characters and plot are so sub par that not even having the aesthetic is enough. If they'd just locked the day night cycle at midnight the infantile criticism about muh sun in cyberpunk wouldn't be happening and we could discuss the actual problems with the game.
