I know the description calls this a “sci-fi black comedy”, but needing to watch an ad in its entirety before being allowed to enter your home feels like a perfectly cyberpunk satire to me....
I’ve posted before about Mullet Mad Jack, back when the demo became available. Well, the full game is now available on Steam. It’s a ridiculous game where you die if you go more than 10 seconds without killing a bad guy, but it’s drenched in early 90s cyberpunk anime aesthetic.
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...
A couple things:...
This was mentioned in passing a couple months ago. Not great, but an interesting watch. With a bit more work it could have reached a “Videodrome” level of excellence. As it is, it’s a decent cult film....
This trailer reminds me of the Black Mirror episode “Playtest” so it’s probably more cyberpunk-adjacent than actually cyberpunk but that doesn’t mean it’ll be bad.
Darksynth is a sub-genre of Synthwave. And within darksynth, there’s a sub-sub-genre for cyberpunk synth music. So if synth music feels cyberpunk to you, these recommendations are a good starting point....
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....
Usually when I make these “is it cyberpunk” posts, I try to pick movies that are popular enough that I can assume most people have already seen them. I’m not sure if Summer Wars is at that level but I wanted to ask this question anyway. Because really, there’s only one aspect to this movie that could be considered...
I might as well jump on the May the 4th bandwagon and post something Star Wars related too. Here’s some test footage from 2005 for a potential Star Wars TV show called Underworld, which would’ve been set in the lower levels of Coruscant (you know, the cyberpunk part of the Star Wars universe)....
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...
This song and video are perfectly cyberpunk, I’ve always enjoyed it. I really liked the first couple songs from Scandroid (Datastream and Salvation Code) but by the time he made an entire album he leaned too far into the 80s aesthetic and love songs for my taste so I stopped listening. It’s a shame too, it’s rare for a...
Rez Infinite is a modern remake of the game Rez, originally on Playstation 2 and Dreamcast. Rez is about a hacker breaking through firewalls in cyberspace to reach a malfunctioning AI. The gameplay involves flying your character through cyberspace and targeting multiple AI defenses at once to chain your attacks....
I read a lot of random cyberpunk novels from the kindle store and I’m always on the lookout for more. Cyberpunk novels are annoyingly difficult to find since the “cyberpunk” category on amazon is nothing but LitRPG, but that’s a different rant altogether....
This was mentioned in our discussion of bad cyberpunk movies but I wanted to bring it to a wider audience. Do you consider the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie to be 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....
God Complex (2017) is a great comic. My only complaint is it was cancelled after 6 issues. But at least they’ve released the whole thing as a single volume to make it easy to read....
A couple months ago, it was rumored that Robert Pattinson might play Case in Apple TV+'s Neuromancer. It looks like that rumor fell through because it’s now official, Callum Turner will play Case. I’ll be honest with you, I have no idea who this guy is. But an official announcement about Neuromancer means this project is...
What’s everyone’s opinion on the original fully black jacket? Panam sported this before they changed it to the red one we know today.
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....
