Wait so Johnny five aces had a band called samurai, you can pick him as a hero, you have a jacket that says samurai, and you meet him at the dump So, gently caress the "my personal hero is a freedom fighter / pragmatist / corp overlord" thing, does this mean you can start with ALTERNATE JACKET if you pick someone else!?

Agnosticnixie posted:Could it be Diamond Age? tbf "Turing was there" is apparently vague enough (there's even a whole south american cyberpunk novel called Turing) in the genre, which is fair. I'm pretty sure it was set up so that the narrative would bounce between different eras and people, one of them was croberts with his oses and one was turing working on the enigma e: it was fuckin cryptonomicon. I used my cyber uplink to search enigma and look at where it was used in popular culture e2: "He also describes computers using a fictional operating system, Finux. The name is a thinly veiled reference to Linux, a kernel originally written by the Finnish native Linus Torvalds. Stephenson changed the name so as not to be creatively constrained by the technical details of Linux-based operating systems."

I'm not getting involved with the cyberdong or racial depiction debates because I have nothing interesting or constructive to add. If the game turns out to be an rear end in a top hat then I will be extremely disappointed. Also I checked out the merch store and I wish they had something weird like one of those cyber-cans that I could use to put tea in or something, instead of just clothes. Maybe if the game takes off there will be more interesting cool poo poo showing up there.

ufarn posted:So, without getting into spoilers, don't you basically get to pick an idol during character creation where you can choose between three people: Good, Neutral, Evil, with Silverhand being on the Good end of the spectrum? That's how it used to be at least. I thought the three heros were anticorp / neutral / corp like the third guy is a "corporate god" right there on the selection screen. I will be interested to see if your hero pick changes your initial loadout. If you pick "corp god" or "solo of fortune" you maybe won't have the silverhand jacket we've seen so far.

I could easily see picking corp in character creation edging your rep far enough in the other direction to make early situations like the 45 minute demo play out differently.

JBP posted:I feel like picking a corp hero would have to mandate you start the game dressed in a cheap cybersuit with equally tacky shades. same, it would have a heavy sony diskman type aesthetic instead of leather with those aircraft / mic style interconnects on the glowing collar. Like if this fuckin thing were clothes. Maybe one of the earlier more audiophile looking versions.   sean10mm posted:Yeah, but in this setting corporations are 1,000% evil.  Orange Crush Rush posted:I'd actually be really interesting if they cast actors for all three of these people, especially Morgan Blackhand (the Solo of Fortune). I don't think it's ever been stated what he actually looks like, because the dude is just so good at staying untraceable. The closest description to him is Mike Pondsmith commentating that he thinks Morgan would be an older white guy, the kind that can instantly blend in anywhere; even right after garroting some poor bastard in the middle of a street. It'd be cool but i'd really be surprised if they did. It'd basically be making 3 main quests, wouldn't it? Seems like having the other guys actually show up would have a shitload of a difference on the story, unless they played it out right.

 I really wish I could remember the name for this kind of connector. IIRC it was developed by like germans in the 50s or 20s or some poo poo. Used a lot for certain microphones or even soldering irons, but i've also seen it referred to as "aircraft" style, whatever that means. V's jacket has four of them, and they're all the peripheral side -- the energized "main" side would look like this:  Obviously you don't need to run power thru these necessarily, but if you did you wouldn't want the sockets on the jacket to be energized cause you could get some fuckin shell casing jammed in there or other idiot poo poo and get a short. I have seen them used reversed where the pins were hot for whatever dumbass reason, and probably they're used like that more often than not, they're not really like usb designed to be plugged whenever however so you can sort of assume that if the pins are hot it's not going to be a big deal cause the thing is already connected up or it's powered down. There's also ten billion variations in number, layout, and size of pins, including sockets and plugs that are half male and half female. Really weirdo poo poo out there but I've only seen the more standard ones irl. I'm willing to bet that if it were real the jacket has some kind of backing plate behind those sockets, not that it's something that would ever come up, but without a strong anchor those things would rip right through the leather no problem. IMO if the jacket broke it would be a pain in the rear end to fix unless there's some sort of access pocket on the inside that lets you pull the guts out of the collar. I wonder if those connectors have an actual use in the game or if it's just there to look cool (it's there to look cool). Any time I've seen them they tend to either be some homebrew poo poo or something that just needs a cheap reliable interconnection. For sure not the kind of thing i'd run in like fuckin combat simulations or whatever, that naked metal second pic I posted has like no strain relief for the cable itself. Frankston posted:So how about that motorcycle huh? if I can't blast fools with a pipe or cyber katana while riding this thing then the game is failed.

Glenn Quebec posted:I wonder how divergent the path will be if the anticorp/neutral/corp thing is true. As much as I love Keanu as the AI ghost of a kick-rear end punk rocker Merc, the idea of having the AI of a Japanese imperial militant born in the year 1909 is so outrageous, I kind of need to try it first. I dunno. I'm thinking probably you always end up with john but maybe you really can get different guys showing up. I'd think that they'd probably demand the same missions in the same places, but the goals and flow of the missions would be different depending who you're running for, and they might be in a different order with different scenarios. "Oh poo poo samurai the corpos are buying a fuckin virus take them out" "our employees are going to secure a purchase, make sure nothing interrupts the transaction" If it was straight up different missions that would be crazy as gently caress, i'd think that'd be more DLC than putting all that effort into the main game tbh.

Kilometres Davis posted:I suspect that whoever your childhood hero is you've still got head-keanu and the fact that he exists (as an AI ghost or whatever) is directly related to the "immortality chip" plot. yeah but on the other hand the other two also could possibly have or be in the chip somehow, and if they are they're going to push their agendas. Weren't all 3 involved with silverhand getting vaped? Glenn Quebec posted:That makes more sense tbh. Probably all three AI communicate to you to give out missions. some goon had the theory that you end up seeing whoever your hero is, not because it's actually them talking from the cyberbrain backup partition, but because it's actually some other actor (like a real hardcore AI or w/e) doing a song and dance to get you to work for their goals.

gary oldmans diary posted:That dude is the "quest director" and I gotta say I hope he isn't too good at his job. I liked it better in GTA: San Andreas when I could beat a mission at the last second with some desperation move than in Red Dead Redemption 2 where everything was scripted so tightly that I could achieve what I was verbally instructed to do, but not in the very specific way the script checked for and would accidentally fail the quest. Dammit, bringing a criminal back to the sheriff's office hogtied on my horse should be just as good or better than killing him, not a mission failure. lol gently caress that's some bullshit

Strongly considering buying a computer for this.
