One thing I noticed this past E3 and the games that are getting announced seem to have a similiar theme or tone to them. I am just guessing we will see more cyberpunk games this gen than before, which I wouldnt mind at all. Some not entirely cyberpunk but games that will take part in the not too distant future.

You already see it with on this generations last legs with:

Remember me



Deus Ex



Somewhat with David Cages Beyond Two Souls

Steampunk like games such as Dishonored



And Bioshock Infinite



For next gen we have already seen one in Watch Dogs



The Witchers developer new game is all cyberpunk.



I wouldnt be surprised if MW4 is all futuristic and shit, maybe not exactly cyberpunk but seeing where BlackOps 2 is going I wouldnt be surprised if they go all out future warfare.

Also wouldnt be surprised if Fallout 4 is kind of like Dishonored and a bit steampunk like, I cant imagine them going to back to post appolopctic world since its seems stale right now. Well for me anyways.

Would like to see maybe a Blade Runner game made by David Cage, could be interesting, would be interesting to see what other devs are working on like Naughty Dog. Also what was that game that a gaf member somewhat leaked before E3 with that gif but it was never later announced, someone must know what I am talking about.

Anyways it maybe nothing but from what I am seeing it seems like one of next gen's theme is cyberpunk/futuristic/ steampunk sci fi like games. Kind of like how one of this gen's trend was the whole zombie games shit. Hopefully more interesting games come out of this trend.

Better than 'modern warfare' everything.

[Dennis]

Blessed days ahead then.

I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

No.

Cyberpunk is much more cool imo. I find steampunk to be really predictable and boring.

Bring on the Cyberpunk ヽ(゜▽、゜)ノ

Also, that old Unreal 4 Samaritan demo was pretty cyberpunk iirc.

[~Kinggi~]

Blessed days ahead then. I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

yuppers!

[Koroviev]

Blessed days ahead then. I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

A man after my own heart. I want a new Blade Runner game!

[Deadbeat]

Imagine a videogame generation focusing mostly on cyberpunk. It would be beautiful.

I could really go for that right now.

[Tomat]

I would love to see more cyberpunk games, but I wouldn't like for them to become the new WW2/Modern setting that we see in shooters.

[Dog Problems]

That's a trend I could never get tired of. Top it off with the Blade Runner adventure game getting put on GOG.

[lunch]

Blessed days ahead then. I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

My sentiments exactly. There are a ton of games that have caught my eye simply for having a cyberpunk aesthetic.

[Tenki]

I'm ok with this, but too much becomes boring.

[ExitPlanetDust]

About goddamn time.

[EulaCapra]

Yes please.

Beats gray/brown crumbled cities.

[Fjordson]

Blessed days ahead then. I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

Totally agreed. I love it. And we can't forget Shadowrun Returns!

Though a lot of those games in the OP don't really fit in my mind. Like Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite. Pretty far from cyberpunk I think. Watch_Dogs and Shadowrun Returns are really the closest things on the horizon.

And maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to see Rockstar's take on cyberpunk.

It says cyberpunk/futuristic in the title.

[Cake Boss]

Yeah Bioshock and Dishonored arent exactly cyberpunk, more steampunk like which I dont mind either.

Sorry for the bad grammar and spelling, posting on the phone kinda sucks.

[King of the Potato People]

Isn't BioShock Infinite Steampunk?

Edit

Yeah Bioshock and Dishonored arent exactly cyberpunk, more steampunk like which I dont mind either.

Oh

[USIGSJ]

Here's potentially one more:

[cosmicblizzard]

I would take a generation of cyberpunk over the crap we got this gen. Should be sweet.

[Figboy79]

I'm dying for a cyberpunk game done in the style of the current Fallout or Elder Scrolls games, with a large, detailed city brimming with atmosphere, mods and tech instead of armor and magic, etc.

I want to create a technomancer and walk through dark, rainy streets awash with neon, hacking into atms and climbing skyscrapers with my physical enhancements, hijacking flying cars and getting into all sorts of shenanigans. Deus Ex: HR gave me a little taste of what I want, but I want it in a large, non-linear scale. A city as large as Skyrim would be asking for much, but I'd be totally down with a city the size of GTA IV's Liberty City, but all futuristic and awesome.

I love fantasy and swords and sorcery, but I've had my fill of that style of game this gen. If cyberpunk is where the industry's next trend is pointing, I will be there with no hesitation. Beats another standard military shooter any day.

[Fjordson]

It says cyberpunk/futuristic in the title.

True, but like Bioshock Infinite for example takes place in 1912. Pretty much the opposite of futuristic.

Edit: Oops. missed Cake's post above. Either way, I totally agree. These sorts of settings/aesthetics are great. Much better than gritty, present day stuff that we've seen lately.

[apana]

Unfortunately System Shock will remain dead. :(

[ZoddGutts]

Totally agreed. I love it. And we can't forget Shadowrun Returns!

Also Shadowrun Online.

[Dark Octave]

Cool, but I hope it isn't overdone like how WWII and now modern FPS titles are now.

[Ichor]

I hope this trend continues, I'm tired of the boring settings they've been shoving in our faces this gen.

[d1rtn4p]

Cannot wait.

[Cake Boss]

Here's potentially one more:

:O Whats that?

It's futuristic for 1912:p

[Inorigo]

The time is right. Hardware will finally be at a level to convey that kind of world/gameplay efficiently in a way that really takes advantage of that type of setting.

I'm excited :)

[Schmitty]

I hope so. I just beat Deus Ex and loved everything about it

[castlegar]

:O Whats that?

Star Wars 1313, I believe

[USIGSJ]

:O Whats that?

SW 1313 concept art.

Edit: Beaten.

[Ichor]

I hope so. I just beat Deus Ex and loved everything about it

Even those terrible boss battles? Amazing game, with an amazing setting, why they had to go and outsource those boss battles I'll never understand.

[Dennis]

[1138]

Yes please. Beats gray/brown crumbled cities.

The grey/brown colour scheme is one of the biggest issues I have had with most games this gen. Hopefully the cyberpunk trend will bring some much needed colour.

[brainpann]

There will never be too much cyber punk.

[Snowden's Secret]

Seeing people praise the direction reminds me of when people held u up Modern Warfare as a breath of fresh air, it's modern setting a welcome change of pace from World War II.

I don't remember that.

Here's some of the first concept screens for Shadowrun returns:

Edit: Bested by the mighty Dennis.

Really hope they won't copy the Deus Ex piss filter too.

[Luminate]

When did this happen?

[Dennis]

Really hope they won't copy the Deus Ex piss filter too.

Luckily that could be removed.

[JCtheMC]

Blessed days ahead then. I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

Yes, agreed and indeed.

I hope the Shadowrun franchise takes off and someone makes it into a singleplayer action rpg of epic proportions.

Speaking of Epic... still waiting for that Samaritan announcement. Do fucking want.

[Mikor]

OP reads like this is a bad thing...

Two of my favorite fantasy settings. If this turns out to be true, next gen will be a treat, for me.

[Clunker]

I'd enjoy if this did become a trend. It also reminds me that I really want a way to play Snatcher on modern-day consoles or handhelds. :(

[Teknopathetic]

There could be like 5 years of nothing but -Punk setting games and it would still be a woefully underrepresented setting.

[FirewalkR]

CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk is the game I'm most hyped up for at the moment.

Come to me, next-gen! I AM READY!!!

[CorrisD]

Blessed days ahead then. I love sci-fi and cyberpunk.

Same here, love me some Sci-Fi Cyberpunk games, Deus Ex was great and I'm really looking forward to Remember Me, I can only hope we get more going into next-gen.
