Maria Caliban Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I suspect $ 5000 is the minimum sum they need to specify for it not to go to small claims court or equivalent. The actual sum will, of course, be bigger. I also suspect that you don't need an advanced law degree to figure that out, even if it doesn't look like it from what you guys've posted. It never occurred to me that they picked that specific sum so it wouldn't go to small claims court. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

Lexx Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) 30 minutes of gameplay footage: Heavily narrated by Dugas and some IGN guy. Interesting watch. Wasn't that stuff shown already? Or at least something similar, because the second part looks very familiar to me. Can't believe it's still 1 1/2 months till release. Meh.

Rostere Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 So, to get into the mood for DE3 I'm currently playing Snatcher for the SEGA CD. It's an excellent cyberpunk game by Hideo Kojima which borrows very heavily from the Bladerunner movie. Funny that the theme with artificial humans is so common in the cyberpunk genre!

Tale Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Funny that the theme with artificial humans is so common in the cyberpunk genre!Isn't that sort of the genre's whole point? The (negative) effects of scientific advancement? I like the TV Tropes page quote. "Transhumanism is about how technology will eventually help us overcome the problems that have, up until now, been endemic to human nature. Cyberpunk is about how technology won't."? Stephenls of RPG.Net, on the relation between transhumanism and cyberpunk http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CyberPunk "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

The (negative) effects of scientific advancement? I am going to disagree with you here. (And apparently with TV Tropes) Cyberpunk features dystopian futures and technological advancement, but that advancement is not the cause of the problems. Cyberpunk typically shows technology as a means of liberation. Things like megacorperations, poverty, overpopulation, and oppressive governments are usually the cause of the negativity.

Rosbjerg Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Using said technology to oppress the people. I've often thought that technology was used much like magic is in old folk tales, that in it self it isn't good or bad, but the rather the application of it is evil or divine etc. Which ties well into your point about salvation. Fortune favors the bald.

The (negative) effects of scientific advancement? I guess you could say so, it's just that I feel there are other aspects of cyberpunk I think you can explore. In any case, it's interesting why a cyberpunk universe tend to center around that particular narrative. Is it just the Bladerunner influence, or is it inherent in the setting? I think DE3 explores this central theme excellently, anyway. From what it seems it's more Bladerunner- inspired (or would you say traditional cyberpunk-inspired? Fundamentalist traditional cyberpunk?) than the original game. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"

Just look at human interest stories, often they are focused around a tragedy or a struggle and they potentially humanize a historical event. memo to myself: Do fictional human interest story set against a dystopian future setting Put it up on the web ???????????????????

Morgoth Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 New DX trailer This is like one of the best trailers I've ever seen?
