snatcher i guess

Played both Snatcher and Policenauts

Shadowrun Dragonfall, if you don't mind magic and trolls. And of course Deus Ex

How about Blade Runner.

G Police and its sequels

EYE Divine Cybermancy's environments mirror Blade Runner really well, the the BK .444 is Deckard's gun.

not really my thing but I'll try it

This. Its a really good game too

This is the only correct answer.

I played EYE, wouldn't really call it cyberpunk though

Deckard's gun is fucking awesome. Can something like that be functional in real life?
Wouldn't the thing have some issue or explode?
I mean we got the desert eagle Could be wrong still learning guns here so that's probably the fictional name but I hear it explodes. Fallout 1 had that and once I got it I used it until end game

Deus Ex is mandatory if you haven't already.

You better not have watched the theatrical release. Better be the Final cut and not the other 6 abominations. Still makes little to no sense as a movie whatsoever love it to bits tho

Satellite Reign… If there's a mod that gives you a pause mode.

It's called the Desert Eagle. Yes a gun like that can function in real life. It's just a hammerless revolver, that's about it. At least you recognize that you're a firearms newbie. I have no idea why it has two triggers though.

New Vegas also has that gun, a favorite too

It's not. It's closer to stuff like Warhammer than Cyberpunk

Best thing about it is the mechanic that the replicant is a different person in each playthrough.

No it's not. It's fucking cyberpunk, it has cybernetics and shit. It's not pure cyberpunk, of course not, but to say it isn't cyberpunk is completely wrong.

Did you play Shadowrun on snes and genesis?

Doesn't seem to fit tbh.
But whatever, it's not what I'm looking for


Are they any different from the new ones?

cyberlife.unsafe.space/cyberpunk_vidya.html

There's a little indie game called Datajack that I played a long time back, that was pretty fun.

Fair warning about EYE: It's also a mindfuck in that you'll instinctively think that you can go all ghosty through it, using hacking and stealth, but the game is actually a horde shooter. It's like Serious Sam from an alternate universe where Deus Ex and System Shock were as popular as CoD. Stealth and hacking are nothing more than a means by which you can be an even bigger badass and kill tons of dudes.

This is also why enemies respawn - otherwise you'd run out, and where's the fun in that?

Yeah, the snes one is more similar to Dragonfall but they still pretty different games, the genesis version is nothing alike, also dat soundtrack

Have you even played EYE?

There's lawlessness, there's the oppressive Federalists and computer technology dominates. There's cybernetic technology, there's cool laser robot things, you can hack people. Just because there's also like magic and huge demon things doesn't make it not cyberpunk.

If you want to just play Bladerunner the game, tell us.

I want to play something more like Blade Runner, EYE has weird monsters, alien things, katanas and armored ninjas

Well say that, that's okay.

If you've never played it before, DXHR. Get the director's cut, otherwise the boss fights are shit.

I know i'll get bullied for this but Heavy Rains detective-chapters come pretty close to the Movie.

I played HR, not the cut.
Pretty meh, took me 4 years to finish it

Lets all hope Cyberpunk 2077 isn't shit like the Witcher series.

as everyone has mentioned, EYE nails it perfectly (despite 1 guy thinking it doesn't. just ignore him and let him have that opinion…)

Collateral is a a very close fit to what you want but it's rather barebones because it's a small indie game. It was clearly inspired by the 5th element.

dunno if android games count but cyberlords: arcology is cyberpunk.

there's also the mandatory mention of deus ex.

Hard Reset is a very solid FPS by the same guys as painkiller that could be a bit more cyberpunk but it's got machines and electricity and shit. try it out.

first pic is collateral. second is hard reset.

It would work. All it is essentially is a revolver with an internal hammer.

oh and also Red Faction 2 and Chaser have cyberpunk-ish moments but they also have a lot of shitty moments. only play RF2 is you're a big fan of the series and only play Chaser if you really really like atmosphere and can put up with navigating big shitty levels.

that's all I have on mind at the moment.

Lol it's the OP who thinks EYE doesn't nail cyberpunk perfectly.

Who would have thought there are anons even more insufferable than WH40Kfags on Holla Forums ?

is it? fuck.

new eden, electric sheep and vindico among others are literally the "hey look guys we put in neon signs and a ghost in the shell reference try to be more cyberpunk motherfucker" levels

the first level has you drop down a massive slide in an area of undeniably cyberpunk-styled brutalist architecture. then you go to a hub area full of faggots with cyber implants and holographic gates.

I think the problem is that to be more cyberpunk it helps to have verticality. as in, your levels take place among many stories of large buildings and you can easily jump between them. most games don't let you do that.


EYE is a legitimately good game and if you don't like it, all we can say is that you're missing out.

fuck I almost forgot about these. Classic Syndicate is great, if you're into tactics games. The new game with this name is a cyberpunk shooter, I didn't like it though.
Satellite Reign tries to remake the feeling of the original Syndicate, it's okay.

This and this and pic related

I love EYE, I'm just saying it's barely cyberpunk

...

The workprint is superior to the final cut.

The Syndicate shooter is pretty goodish. One of my favorite shooters of the last generation, anyway.
Helps that the music is well done.

Does Binary Domain count?

Its not just one guy fyi.

In one of the endings you end up with a cute small girl and drive off into the horizon with her. The atmosphere is 10/10. Here's an interesting read about the making of the game:

RIP Cyberpunk

Is the game confirmed vaporware at this point?

No, it's just a meme. CDPR said that they were going to put their heads down and work on it and not talk about it until next year and some autist decided that this meant the entire game had been cancelled, because they're definitely going to keep paying their artists and programmers to sit around and jerk off all day.

I mean, my job is to sit around and jerk off and play vidya, but that's a completely different story.

I watched blade runner for the first time last weekend. It's not steampunk though, it's more cyberpunk.

Also, Rachel best waifu

Perfect Dark.

You're the only one to bring up steampunk in the entire thread. Blade Runner is very much cyberpunk.

i ran into this artist when someone posted this in a wallpaper thread a long while back.

tell me user, is chromatiq good? i'm curious as to what it is but i aint giving no patreon shekels

Have you played Hard Reset, OP? It's a shooter in the vein of Painkiller or Serious Sam (with 1/3rd the enemies). Looks beautiful graphically and is chock full of cyberpunk. Little details like the cleaning/construction robots in some areas (like a walking concrete mixer or floor cleaner) get me everytime.

The gun on top is a sawn down bolt action Mannlicher .22 rifle. The idea was that one trigger was for humans, the other for replicants.

That's the first time I've seen someone on Holla Forums mention Chaser. What a game that was, even though the level design was pretty bad, enemies were low on variety and the story doesn't make much sense, you can tell they tried. I think it's funny how they had the whole story going until Mars and then just went "Yeah this is Total Recall now". Probably my favorite part of the game was that it threw you into more distant parts of the world than a James Bond movie. Even in just the Kabir levels, you go from the city to escorting the convoy to breaking out of a Russian sub base to infiltrating an abandoned cosmodrome to get to Mars.

Yes user, i'm fairly sure we can all agree on that.

Don't you fucking sass me nepnep, I just mis-read the OP!

Just watch Serial Experiments Lain and Technowhatitscalledagain

texhnolyze?

Ok niggas i need some directions.

What's the best version of Blade Runner?

What's the best platform to play Snatcher, Policenauts and Shadowrun?

play anachronox

I hear the Final Cut or Director's Cut are pretty similarly good.

From the blu ray version I have, the introduction featured before you watch the movie shows the director of the film Ridley Scott saying that The Final Cut (done in 2007) to be the definitive version in his eyes. It adds a number of things which add to the runtime and it's the version I watched when seeing it for the first time. You'll need to set aside a few hours so you can watch it in one evening, maybe taking one break to get a drink/snack and plop back down on the couch, but it would be well worth watching if you don't mind how the film is structured with its length. There's also the Theatrical Cut & Director's Cut (1991) on my blu ray but I haven't seen all the versions to know what the differences are or how the perception of the film changes.


Snatcher can only be played on the Sega CD and is very expensive for a US copy to get. The lightgun that could be used for it won't work on HDTVs though cus of the technology being meant to work with CRT TVs.

Policenauts has a fan translation out there for the Japanese PS1 version, if you don't want to go through the bother of trying to emulate or getting a fan translation to work there are a few let's plays on Youtube with the fan translations you could watch through movie style, since it's a Hideo Kojima game. Art style is very appealing, great 90s anime artstyle and part of the music of that game was used for the Konami logo startup that can be heard at the start of Metal Gear Solid.

As for Shadowrun, I hear the Genesis version was better though the SNES version was more popular and more widely played. I think it's due to the difference in hardware between the Genesis and SNES. One advantage the Genesis does have over the SNES is better looking box art IMO, and the fact that the Genesis version will probably come with the durable plastic case whereas most SNES games don't come with those paper cases much anymore (and are more expensive if they do generally).

Seconding this, Gemini Rue was great. The soundtrack is also really good.

Guns like these always remind me of the .223 Pistol from Fallout 2, which seems to mirror a lot of gun designs like these and makes a louder clack when firing compared to all the other handguns.

Final Cut of Blade Runner is the best, Theatrical Cut is the worst. Shadowrun SNES and Genesis are entirely different games, read up on the two and play the one you want to. Pretty sure Snatcher and Policenauts only came out on PC-95 and MSX respectively, so get some emulators for those.

If you're thinking of the modern Shadowrun games with the NuCOM gameplay, Dragonfall>Hong Kong>Returns.

I won't be able to respond to any more questions because several moths are crawling on me and my screen and won't get off. Send help oh god one's crawled into my fucking pants

If I remember right, the .223 pistol from FO2 was actually based on the gun from Blade Runner

It was made back when Westwood was still really good, so I'd go ahead and give it a try.

I got lucky and found an active torrent of this version at 1080p/x265.

I'm not that much of a collectorfag since i live in a 3rd world shithole with retarded import taxes, thankfully i know my way around emulators.


user, did you fall for the fairy ruse?

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you just missread the OP.

Shadowrun has a videogame?

that webm is well titled. what the fuck

...

Exploding jewish meme gun. I hope you like blowing your fingers off

Desert Eagle? you mean the .50 cal jewish glock?

Ok here's the deal.There is this game, Zapretnaya Zona, made by either russians or ukrainians or some other turbo slavs back in the wake of Diablo 2 clones. It's complete piece of shit from both technical and gameplay stand point, but dear god it catches classic cyberpunk setting 100% accurately.
Get it however you can and give it a honest try. It managed to drag me through the entire shitshow on the setting alone.

...

Fuck, you made me laugh there.
You don't wear boots on your right leg and gloves on your left in diablo 2 right? Right?

What a gay. You get to do Voight-Kampff tests on replicants. Jesus fucking Christ, if you have the patience to sit through any particular movie more than once a week it almost certainly is your thing.

Restricted Area was made by Germans you dumb fuck and it blows some enormous dicks.

...

I played it. Everything about it was god awful, but I kept coming back for more. I don't know why, I don't know how. That game has some sort of german hoodoo behind it. Try it out.

...

Snatcher is a direct rip off but it's hardly a game and a bad one at that.

Truth is nothing captures the bladerunner feel. I reccomend downloading the bladerunner esper edition soundtrack.

As for general cyberpunk try system shock enhanced, system shock 2, deus ex 1. Nu-Deux Ex is good but it has that apple esque transhumanist feel which is too bad.

Avoid shadowrun. Shadowrun is like steampunk - all aesthetic and "omg so kewl", with little of the depth and none of the seriousness. It takes a fairly dark and gritty concept based in detailed technology and extrapolation of the early 80s and adds fucking elves and fireballs.

I was going to suggest System Shock, and then I realized that I wanted a game like it set on Earth where you can do missions and hack corporations, fight the mafia and cops, that sort of shit. As it is it's more focused on the horror than the cyberpunk, though it is still prevalent.

Alternatively, Uplink has a little of that cyberpunk feeling despite the fact that it's essentially a hacking simulator.

Close enough?

I still have my big box copy

...

Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis is a pretty good cyberpunk game where you can hack corporations, do runs and escort missions, have some random encounters and build your party according to what races you want although it has Sorcerors which may be a turn off if you wanted something purely technologic.
Now I'm gonna give you one weird piece of advice. Doing runs in that game is just a means to the end of advancing the main quest but it's just so much more fun than the quest itself. Unlocking contacts with whom you can buy all sorts of illegal shit and Johns that give more difficult (and rewarding) missions in which you absolutely need to stealth your way into a heavily secured building through an invisibility spell that needs to be reapplied every now and then (you got no set duration and your magic user may commit monumental fuck ups), hacking into the cameras system to deactivate them just so you can get to the 6th floor and either hack into a terminal rescue a fucking SALARY MAN from the corporation itself has that feel about it I can't describe.
You're not even forced to accept jobs from anyone. You can just be a thug and kill people for money on the streets (until they sic the overpowered police force on you), or be a small time decker, jacking into random parts of the matrix to extract information until you have no space left on your deck and sell it to the information broker.
Some people swear by the snes game. Personally I didn't like it much and couldn't force myself to play it all the way through (got close to the end though). The snes version is all about completing a main quest with little attention to the world around you while the genesis is the opposite. The world is pretty well built but the quest is kind of lame near the end.
Building your decker to be the very best is the hardest damn thing you'll ever do in the game (it's expensive as fuck to boot) and it has its rewards. Namely a side quest that culminates in an extremely difficult matrix run that may frustrate you more than anything.

I've also tried Shadowrun Returns and it dissapointed me greatly in nearly all aspects of the gameplay so I haven't given the other two (or was it three?) games a chance.
I expected that chosing to be a decker would grant me special quests in the matrix but having that npc tell me everyone could jack in thanks to some bullshit was a pretty big turn off. I felt I had no freedom to choose anything in that game either. The quests just dragged me from place to place all over until I uninstalled that abomination.

This is mostly why I hate when people say sandbox games are always bad.
Cyberpunk is a genre that desperately needs a sandbox game.
A central narrative that you can follow to see a cool story is neat and everything but that's not really what anyone wants.

What is needed is a world where corporations are competing with each other in the most underhanded ways for the most dangerous plots and you can play a part on it, even if you have no idea what they are doing.
A company hires you to steal some data cube, you can do the run for it, get payed and never know what was in it, or read it first and discover what your boss actually wants.

Even something like having to buy and maintain a residence where you rest in-between missions and get visits, just so you can lose it when the cops come looking for you and you're forced to roam the streets until you clear the situation.

Or even actually rise through the ladder, start your own corp and compete with all the others as well.

Have you played that Shadowrun game? If so what do you think of it? People never talk about it and I love that game to death

Genesis Shadowrun is the tightest shit and everyone should play it.

It was a pretty great game. If you have a manual, otherwise you'll be hard pressed to even know how to play.

I really liked how you could make absurd amounts of cash from hacking and you could effectively stay in the same terminal doing it all the time, only moving out to buy terminals.

Magic seemed quite nice but under developed, like an afterthough the devs included in, despite having a fair amount of content.

Weapons are kinda meh. They feel mostly the same, only differing in cooldowns and damage. It was still pretty great to go clean locations of ghouls and other shit with them, but I was sad that melee is nigh impossible unless you have very good equipment (this includes healing stuff) and good reflexes.

I haven't played very far so I didn't try the corp runs yet, but you're kinda make me want to give it a shot at least.

The plot is mostly like you said. You can go to a location and advance it a bit but you'll forget about it and just do your thing instead.

The funny thing is that hacking seems to be a much more developed section of the game than literally everything else, which is opposite of many other games. That feature alone is enough to recommend it.

I actually prefer the SNES one myself but this is totally true and is huge. The Matrix in Shadowrun is a huge deal and no other game has gotten it right; it's always tiny little local networks. In the Genesis version though you had your own battle system, your avatar, and it was fucking awesome

The Matrix (the term for the Shadowrun network, not the movie) is actually what got me into the game and got me playing the pen and paper with my buddies, because nobody wants to roll Decker, and the Genesis version does an awesome job of showing you how cool it can be

No.


I would kill for an excellent open-world cyberpunk game. I would kill in a heartbeat, and feel no remorse.

Snatcher, Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Urotsukidoji are must-plays.

I'm torn on that one.
The slums had a cyberpunk atmosphere but the rest not so much.

Lies, feels almost exactly like the film.

It doesn't need to be rainy and dark for it to be cyberpunk, the elements in the story about transhumanism and all that crud makes it extremely cyberpunk.

Is that Japanese only? I'm a dirty gaijin and I don't know japanese

Well it's not based on 2nd ed Shadowrun were you let the rest of the group die of boredom while you spend 8 hours chatting with the GM.

the most exciting Shadowrun moment of my life was when I had activated a series of gates through the Matrix and the rest of the team was run and gunning their way out of the building's huge parking garage, out and up about eight floors. the GM did a great job of balancing me fighting off ICs to hold the gates open, while the team was fighting off the physical security guards as they escaped. the best part was when the team got out, realized I was still inside hiding in a secure room jacked in, and our rigger rammed a huge-ass semi through the wall so that I could jack out and escape

tl;dr you have nobody to blame but the GM if your decking experiences suck, because all the tools are there to make it tight as shit

True. I remember the many frustrating deaths I had when I first played it. An uncle gave me a CD with all these roms in it and something clicked with me when I first played Shadowrun. Hell I couldn't even read english too well and had no internet access back then but I kept retrying and dying over and over again.
The best place to stop advancing the plot is when you unlock the elite missions, the ones that can net you around 7k if you negotiate right. Those are the hardest ones. Heavy matrix runs or corporate infiltration. Those are the runs that will make you hate your mage when his sneaking skill fails.
Weapons aren't very developed but at the same time you can feel powerful enough with them. Healing magic is essential if you want to stay alive (unless you're rich and can buy tons of medkits from the chineese hospitals).
Something I think is huge about the matrix is how Shadowrun (the pen and paper rpg) was published in 1989, 4 years before CERN made the World Wide Web public for the first time (1993)

Neuromancer for Amiga, DOS, C64.

Nigger when was there an Overfiend game? And how is Overfiend cyberpunk?


I think that user making shit up.

Blade Runner Final Cut or Director's Cut are both very good.

Policenauts is fucking bullshit game, though. The cursor moves way too slowly, the animation is Korean sweatshop-tier, and you'll get stuck constantly with the worst pixel hunting ever. I'm saying this as somebody who loves old school adventure games like Tex Murphy that have lots of pixel hunting.

Play the other games on emulator. Genesis for Shadowrun and Sega CD for Snatcher are my favorite method.

Somebody mentioned Fallout: New Vegas and I have to say that it is exactly what I would picture the Mojave Desert to look like in a cyberpunk world. Major cities would take up all of the public money for infrastructure and the rest would be left alone as a rotten wasteland full of bandits and pollution-based mutants.

...

Some think that's were most of the fly over country in the US is heading.

Let's face it: cities like LA, SF, Seattle and NYC are the important parts. Over half the world's population lives in cities. And this is still increasing daily.

I played Fallout 3, never finished it because it got so boring. Sadly that ruined my possible experience with New Vegas since the combat system is basically the same at first glance.

I'm in the same boat as OP but I'm really in the mood for retro shit like snatcher or the old SMT games. God damn I miss that aesthetic but I hate that only indie hipster faggots do it today.

More like 'Kike Runner' ;lol!

...

uh

What happened to my image

Quake 2 was pretty cyperpunky.

He's a bit of a RP'ing whore but if any of y'all wanna know about Shadowrun shit he's pretty good at communicating the feeling of being a merc in absolute shit. Better game dev than most people in the field, despite not being one.
