I also like seeing something cyberpunk showing off actual daylight for once. I didn’t hate the trailer, but I didn’t love it either. The original made me want that game to exist right now, whereas this one felt more conventional. I wasn’t hugely into the Witcher games though so my expectations were more leaning on “it’s a cyberpunk RPG that isn’t Deus Ex,” rather than it being by CDPR.

I remember in the first Doom trailer the executions were slow and drawn out. I'm glad they listened and sped everything up.

This trailer at least pays some lip service to the punk part of the genre instead of just the aesthetics. The only part that really sticks out as being "like GTA but future" is the redneck couple in the big montage. But maybe they're handled well I dunno.

Brutal doom ruined the Doom scene for a few years until the backlash corralled it into it's own corner. "Iron Sights" and extremely annoying memes are not why I like doom.

There's tons of deeply unpleasant 4chanesque 'ironic' racism and similar garbage in the Doom modding community. Here's another, exceptionally awful example. I'm not saying it totally dominates it, certainly tons of mods and their creators are perfectly cool, but being one of the few people who's engaged with both the Doom and Steven Universe fandoms one really isn't better than the other and at least with SU that kind of edgy alt-right crap is almost unheard of while most of the real garbage gets concentrated in somewhere like Tumblr and places like here or even Reddit are much more chill and keep a wide berth from the serious nutjobs in that community.

Bakeneko posted:Well, yeah. It’s based on a tabletop game from the 80s so of course it’s going to look like an 80s retro-future, and of course elements of the genre that were once new are going to seem generic after all this time. The real question is whether they’ll be able to take this stock setting and tell an interesting story in it, and CDPR have an excellent track record in that regard.

Gibson might have codified cyberpunk but he sure doesn't own it. Still, this seems like a dumb thing to get annoyed at, so I'm glad Ropekid is being cool if Gibson is being a curmudgeon.

Speaking of the trailer the jaw lady and brain frying is pretty standard cyberpunk stuff, It's still really cool but it shows up pretty often. Honestly if I had only seen this trailer and knew nothing of CDPR or Pondsmith I too would probably think it looks pretty much like a GTA with a 80's/cyberpunk paint. That I feel is the thing about the tweets form others as well, they bring up their trust in the developers/series but Gibson only mentioned the trailer and seriously trailers not being representative is still pretty common. And really unless you are really into something most people are only going to be exposed to trailers, they aren't going to dig into the behind the scenes stuff.

I just thought it was funny that Gibson had a take on it. He's not all that curmudgeony in general, he was pretty chill at his book reading I went to a few years ago, and overall doesn't post about "damned cyberpunk these days".

Cyberpunk 2077 looks good I'm just hoping we aren't saddled with a largely white, straight cast. Netrunner (the cyberpunk card game sold, until recently, by Fantasy Flight Games) made a point of giving players a lot of front-facing queer and minority characters. So it'd be nice to have a future that looks a little more like, well, the future. Game looks good but my other main fear about it is that it'll just be Watch Dogs with A E S T H E T I C

DoctorWhat posted:The Last Night, IIRC. Ahahaha yeah that's sure the one. "Tim Soret said that while The Last Night has themes that others see as right-wing, such as criticizing the concept of Universal Basic Income, his goal with the game is not to be critical of these elements, but only to describe a world that took a certain trajectory to implement these elements, for better or worse, and explore the new problems that were introduced. Soret compared this approach to the movies Gattaca and Wall-E, neither of which he felt politicized the situation and further supported the belief that the tweets had been overblown by a few people trying to create a controversy to benefit themselves."

I think this guy is confusing socialism with capitalism. But I'm sure he's just an idiot who is subscribed to objectivism without actually knowing how Ayn Rand lived her twilight years. UBI, single-payer and tuition-free college are only good things. If these clowns thought of it as an investment in the population, they wouldn't produce such misguided nonsense.

There are critiques of UBI that revolve around 'if we put it in a capitalist system capitalism is gonna do its thing and gut other programs while saying UBI should be enough and we need to be very careful of that'. The angle of 'WHAT ABOUT THE NOBILITY OF WORK????" is not a valid issue because it's literally only ever said by losers like Biden and the Dirty Jobs guy who have never actually worked in their lives

The lead dev, Tim Soret, was a GamerGate chud who was writing summaries like "[my game] takes place in a cyberpunk world where modern feminism won instead of egalitarianism." The original conceptualization of the whole artificial womb element in the game was bog standard traditionalist dogwhistles about how lack of "Eve's suffering" style motherhood leads to "degeneracy" in women blah blah slippery slope end of civilization. Soret has walked back a lot of what he said in 2014, but its clear from his more recent interviews that he's basically just evolved from full on "feminism is cancer" chud to mere "do we really need feminism?" sexist tech douche.
