[Snaggle]

Wow this looks SIK!

 

[Arulan]

I certainly appreciate the interest in cyberpunk games as of late. While I would certainly prefer more RPGs, it does look really good, and the action appears nuanced enough to set it apart.

Take my SIN away.

 

[Shaneus]

Chromatic aberration the game? Screenshot is full of that shit.

Still, cautiously hyped.

I'm just shocked to see Devolver publish a title that has actual polygons in it.

Shocked.

 

[Granjinha]

i want to be an insider and know everything that devolver and adult swim have on their sleeves

Shadow Warrior 2?

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Game looks super sexy. I chucked it onto my wishlist.

 

[Rei_Toei]

Nom nom nom. Really happy there's quite some (indie) studios out there bringing the cyberpunk setting back a bit. Of course there's the big budget projects like Cyberpunk and Deus Ex, but stuff like this ticks all the right boxes. Reminds me to get back into Satellite Reigns too.

 

[Metalmarc]

Wow i dont like isometric games but i like the look of this, i want to play a awesome 3rd person cyberpunk game and it looks like cyberpunk 2077 will be for me, and from the guys that made witcher.

What are everybodys favourote cyberpunk movies, OTHER than Blade Runner (cos Blade Runner is the obvious answer)

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Looks fantastic

 

[nib95]

This looks awesome.

 

[Badpsychometry]

I hope it comes out on the PS4. That's the only way I'll get to play it..

 

[Teknoman]

Count me in. Looks good and that is some cool ass concept art.

 

[WITHE1982]

Even down to the movement of the jacket when you draw your gun (You can pull out your weapon at any time to threaten people)

Jesus! The Flashback reboot we deserved right there. Consider me hooked.

Ruiner also looks tons of fun. Indies are just killing it of late.

 

[vakarian32]

Yep I'm in, looks great I will be following this one closely.

 

[Flopfan]

Nice, had heard of this game last year, but the devs only had concept art and some info. The gameplay screenshots looks awesome

Oh yes I'm hyped.

 

[Rymuth]

That looks...GORGEOUS.

 

[plasmawave]

So, Susumu Hirasawa is one of the artists that's providing music for this game?
That's unexpected.

 

[Octavianus]

Woah

Beserk's OST was something else for me. Just read that both Miura and Kon were inspired by his work and requested him to do their soundtracks...like a legendary vortex pulling in legends. How these guys manage to snag him is something else.

 

[Rei_Toei]

*Breathing intensifies* Didn't realize he was involved. That alone makes it an insta-buy. His work on Paprika is among my most played stuff.

 

[Disgraced]

Say what?

I can only get so excited. I'm going to need a certain cybernetic to contain the hype.

• Escape From New York
• Robocop

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Nine Inch Nails, references, anyone?

You had all of them on your side, didn't you?
You believed in all your lies, didn't you?

The Ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The Ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent you know the Ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease

The Ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
Maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
Maybe it's a part of me you took to a place I hoped it would never go
And maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know

34 Minutes of Gameplay + Preview via Polygon
15 Minutes via IGN

There appears to be quite a bit of news from PAX.

Here's some new character portraits (I cropped the dialogue out):

Spoiler

 

[dgamer]

incredible looking game!!!!!!!

 

[mbpm1]

I like this game's aesthetic a bunch

 

[Joyful]

if games can be sexy Id say this qualifys

 

[Monochromaticx]

wow, this looks amazing

 

[careksims]

I really hope this comes out in Summer 2016 and not the end of it. I really want to play it!

 

[Corpekata]

I am loving the whole "slow time and queue up dash attacks" technique.

Almost reminds me a bit of Transistor.

 

[Nordicus]

The main website is amazing

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Whoever is playing that over at Polygon is horrible. Combat looks really promising, though.

 

[forgeforsaken]

Seems to take some elements from Helldivers and Tranistor.

The combat looks really similar to Hotline Miami to me, it just looks like they give you a lot more freedom and the speed is faster too obvi.

http://www.polygon.com/2016/4/25/11501866/ruiner-demo-video-interview

The art style is by creative director, Benedykt Szneider. Made by 4 devs.

There's a tourist mode for people who can't handle the hard combat but there's no easier difficulty as that's how they've designed the game to be played:

The game is so stunning to look at and so hard to play, the team created a second mode for people more interested in exploration than they are difficult combat.

"We will have a tourist mode for the people who don't care about the combat but want to explore the city and the story," Stylinski said.

That will be the only way players can adjust difficulty: Either you play the game as is, or you're a tourist.​

 

[Kvik]

Gameplay looks hot.

No RPG-like progression, right? Just weapon/health pickups.

The City also looks incredible. I imagine Shadowrun Dragonfall in this engine would be a dream game.

 

[YuShtink]

Wo

 

[CHC]

That 15 minute gameplay demo looked astoundingly good and authentic - like they definitely have something to show. Hopefully this pulls of a surprise release pretty soon, because it looks great.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Just watched the 15 minute preview.

:O

I don't know how I could be any more in to this.

 

[Battle_Scarred Shogun]

wow this looks amazing, definitely on my radar now.

 

[Maddrical]

Looks great, concept art is great and I love me some NIN references. The screen-faces kinda remind me of the robots from in Saga which I love. Most likely a purchase for me!

 

[Blue Lou]

There's an interview with the developers here:

[FunkyPajamas]

Damn, that looks fantastic.

 

[low-G]

Where's that from? Is this new? Is this news? Can I have any new info at all?

 

[blame space]

this looks cool as hell

 

[More_Badass]

Where's that from? Is this new? Is this news? Can I have any new info at all?

Just something they shared on Twitter recently, nothing new besides that

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Sidewalk and Skeletons (best darkwave/witch house artist out there, imo) has also just announced on Facebook he is providing music for this game as well. Between Susumu Hirasawa (OMG), synthwave music and now Sidewalks and Skeletons, this game may be soundtrack of the decade for me. For anyone interested in what Sidewalks and Skeletons music sounds like, here's his latest album (incredible stuff):

They were at PAX, quite some hands-on articles available.

Keep an eye out for The Last Night. An open-world cyberpunk cinematic platformer

Damn that looks so good...

Ruiner is a horrible name imo, but that character looks badass and the game looks fun as hell. Also it's cyberpunk so i like it by default.

 

[AusRoachman]

Ign also has some new footage . Looks fantastic
