Bits N Pieces · Oct 20, 2017

Check out how this cyberpunk Xbox One game made it to Microsoft's stage and won us all over.

This is a really cool video showing the process a tiny dev team go through trying to make a trailer for E3. They nailed it, the game is absolutely gorgeous. Really looking forward to seeing more.

Edit, I wasn't fully aware of the background to the game or the dev when the video popped up in my Twitter feed.

Every time I get reminded of this game, it sucks. As a huge fan of modern pixel art and cyberpunk and cinematic platformer, this was clicking every box for me. Even posted about its GIFs and dev updates a ton on GAF. It was probably my most anticipated indie game after Rain World

So of course it turns out to be about an alt-rights nightmare of a dystopia built upon and based arond the devs fucked-up beliefs. A very story-driven, choice-heavy adventure based on all that, to the point that the creator wanted to put a Gamergate mascot in the game as a character.

Fuck that. Such a disappointing turn-of-events. You cant separate creator from creation when the creators beliefs form the backbone and story of that creation.

And a VICE article/interview with the dev from this years E3.

Is the gamergater-ness still a part of it?

Considering you can't get rid of the guy making it, yeah.

Isnt that the entire core concept of the game?

Cerium · Oct 20, 2017

So we're just going to pretend that this isn't about a dystopia "Where feminism won"?

Squire · Oct 20, 2017

Very disappointed in this choice of coverage.

TrumanBurbank · Oct 20, 2017

Game looks amazing

Yeah, I'm really curious who it was that pitched this and who it was that approved.

cackhyena · Oct 20, 2017

I'm so fucking bummed I won't be playing this. Love the look.

BurritoBushido · Oct 20, 2017

I thought the guy owned up to some of the shitty things he said? He sounded pretty earnest talking about it last I saw. He's been working on this game for a long time and I don't think its still the "if femenism won" thing

Who's stopping you?

Shauni · Oct 20, 2017

If I remember right the guy said he regretted his stance on GamerGate and didn't intend the game to explicitly reference it. For what that is worth, which is...yeah.

Yeah

cackhyena · Oct 20, 2017

Golnei said:

The creator. Not supporting that message.

His conscience presumably.

Revolutionary · Oct 20, 2017

Only halfway through the video but I had to say two things:

1. This game looks unbelievably good.

2. This video is actually really well produced. Kudos, IGN

Principles maybe? Not supporting Gamer Gate trash is a perfectly valid choice, at least in my book.

He "tried" to walk some stuff back but it was pretty hollow, and afterwards was either retweeting or favoriting tweets of people saying "ignore the haters!!!" And shit like that. Might have been more later but I don't think so.

Publicly at E3 he apologized if I recall.

Swatseal · Oct 20, 2017

Cant wait for this, looks great.

digoutyoursoul · Oct 20, 2017

Beautiful

Just finished Ruiner and that had a gorgeous art style too. Some of these indie games are wonderful.

Holundrian · Oct 20, 2017

No buy.

LowRoller · Oct 20, 2017

I liked what I saw at e3 . After blade runner I'm even more excited.

I thought he doubled down? And then a dev who is also a gaffer tried to sweep some things under the rug?

...then proceeded to Like all the very supportive Tweets from the Gamer Gate crowd.

PSqueak · Oct 20, 2017

Man, the replies on this thread show they have been hard at work to hide how the author is a piece of shit.

That's discouraging.

aGuyInaBearSuit · Oct 20, 2017

Pro-capitalism cyberpunk is a fundamental failure to understand cyberpunk.

Dr Duncan Steel · Oct 20, 2017

unfortunate a game this beautiful comes from a mind so ugly

jack_package_200 · Oct 20, 2017

A feminist society that has healthcare for all is not a dystopia.

BBboy20 · Oct 20, 2017

Go read this. Basically, it's a game with Gamer Gate trash tightly knitted into it.

ItIsOkBro · Oct 20, 2017

this game can fuck right off

Cerium · Oct 20, 2017

Nillansan said:

It's basically Gamer Gate: The Game.

Elandyll · Oct 20, 2017

Easy pass with the philosophy behind this pos.

Eidan · Oct 20, 2017

I assume this thread will go much like the last one.

Anyhoo, yeah, I wont be touching this.

Orb · Oct 20, 2017

Yikes, can't believe this is still getting coverage. Such a waste of resources and a good aerstyle on a game I honestly hope bombs.

IbizaPocholo · Oct 20, 2017

Interesting video and the game looks amazing.

Yeah

maybe you should check your memory. this was his apology https://youtu.be/YdR08gxzJXU?t=1h3m29s

shitty tweets he liked leading up to E3
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=240319113#post240319113

shitty tweets he liked after E3
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=241101096&postcount=3644

maybe you can point me to where he explicitly says he regrets his stance on gamergate and did not intend the game to reference his lame views? maybe you're talking about the other guy who worked on the game?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=240375952&postcount=2971

who said the tweets were from "way back when" and when pointed to tweets less than a month ago said "look the tweets don't matter"

Nillansan · Oct 20, 2017

Cerium said:

That's more accurate, yes. They even wanted to put the Gamer Gate mascot in it.

Stiler · Oct 20, 2017

People keep bringing up GG with this game, but vice did a story on it with Tim Soret a while back and it seems he's steered a lot away from GG years ago,

https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/art...unk-an-interview-with-the-last-night-designer

The game isn't built upon GG or anything like that, at least from what it seems like from reading that.

Hopefully that's true and we'll know when the game is released.

BiggNife · Oct 20, 2017

It's very pretty but I'm not supporting the developer. His apology felt super duper hollow, saying "I shouldn't have mentioned gamergate" instead of "what I said was wrong." That, on top of liking those gater tweets, really gives me the impression that he's not actually sorry.

I have enough games to play as it is, and I'd rather not support a hateful garbageman if I can avoid it.

cm osi · Oct 20, 2017

Game looks like it has a good atmosphere even tho im not a fan of that graphic style. I'll keep it on my radar

LordBaztion · Oct 20, 2017

the game looks gorgeous, I will keep an eye on it

Hopefully that's true and we'll know when the game is released.

The basic premise of the game is a dystopia caused by feminist healthcare.
