SHODAN lives, and has finally found her way to the planet Earth. You are THE hacker from the superior System Shock, the cyberpunkish original. You're the first to catch a "blip", the one which signaled her arrival.
The hacker was the best in the business. Add in a strange subplot, where SHODAN is obsessed with you, the one who freed her from the shackles.
I dunno, there's some potential in there somewhere. Just imagine SHODAN's face, plastered all over a cyberpunk, war-torn Times Square.
Take SS back to it's roots. Pure tech sex.

I'd say Ken Levine or Warren Specter would be a great fit. I'm not a huge Bioware fan, nothing wrong with them but I've never gotten into their games.FunkyPajamas said:Awesome idea. I would add multiple characters/paths as well, e.g. you could also play a lowlife private eye trying to catch a break, scamming clients and whatnot, and you run into a huge conspiracy which makes you pick a side: try to turn things to your side and make a quick buck, or unmask the corporation (or stop the conspiracy but still reap the rewards, a gray area).
Who would you guys trust with a game like this? Ken Levine/Warren Specter? Bioware?
Yes please.
I totally agree. By the way, did you guys know that the sample from "Right Here Right Now" by Fatboy Slim was Angela Bassett's line, from Strange Days? It's true.jkanownik said:List of Cyberpunk Movies
A game inspired by Strange Days with the Blade Runner art style could be awesome.
They're both in the top 5 of my all time list, but I'll take the original's sense of adventure over the survival-horror slant. The feeling of being a god-tier hacker was more to my liking.HK-47 said:SS2's psych/body horror bend was superior.

Give Tsutomu Nihei however much money he needs so he can make a Blame! video game exactly how he would envision it
Agreed. A GTA style game in a Blade Runner world would pretty much be a dream game for me.wind_steaker said:I would be all over this, the more Blade Runner it is, the better.
Tokubetsu said:I fucking love you. The ideal Blame! game would probably play something like Shadow of The Colossus when you think about it. Just you, your GBE and The City.
HK-47 said:Correct. Personally I prefer post cyberpunk.
Do we know that Human Revolution will be open world, though?GHG said:Basically, you just want a next gen open world deus ex.
Its coming.
I didn't like it that much but to each their own.Nessus said:Count Zero was better.
Yeah that, and races of any kind, would not make it into this dream game of mine. Those missions are senseless.Nessus said:Don't forget the incredibly dull Crazy Taxi-style missions that involve getting from point A to point B in under 2 minutes. No GTA clone would be complete without those.

hold on there. people can fly are protected from this kind of garbagetalk. Let's fightparanoidfortean said:Yet we have games like Bulletstorm coming out all the fucking time.
you know the subway stations in thedarkness were just the warmup for syndicate :O~GONz said:Open-world Syndicate... man I can dream, make it happen Starbreeze!
Exactly. A while back, it would have been perfect to see MS tie up with Bioware to produce what I think is a fucking no-brainer. The ruleset and universe is already there. Stupid MS. Hopefully, something cool comes out of Smith & Tinker.Bebpo said:This is what shadowrun should have been. non-linear sandbox with rpg elements.

It's called FICTION for a reason.

Transhumanism IS cyberpunk.RubberJohnny said:No shit Sherlock, but you fail to realise that science fiction is a product of it's time. The 50's had E.E. Doc Smith and WW2 technological advancement applied to the future, the 60s had Cold War paranoia, with invasions from within and all of that.
Cyberpunk is 80s consumerism, "haves versus havenots" and "punks are scary". It's only interesting as a product of it's time. None of those constituent elements are relevant to the audience that's going to be buying the game.
Stuff like Transhumanism and Singularitarianism speaks more to modern themes, supplanting the 90s silicon valley boom in computing onto society.
Huh?FrostuTheNinja said:The only recent game that I can think of that's come close in tone and setting was Red Faction Guerrilla.
The world needs more cyberpunk.
