Their inner style will sure be important as hell ^^

Japan doesn’t deserve this wrath :(

I love Gibson, but honestly to please him they’d have had to design the game under LSD.

That was mostly slang because they were in the streets, I’m pretty solid convinced that high corpo dialogues won’t be the same deal ... to give an idea, The Matrix agents are directly inspired from Cyberpunk corpo culture;

This is basically a 90s teenager dream come true ... I remember spending hours and hours clumsilly drawing Cyberpunk scenes like this, cities, people, stories ...

and now it’s moving, and living, and interactive, and immersive, and AAAAAAAAAAH

But, it is dark ? Also the trailer choosed Hyper - Spoiler track, Hyper being exactly what you want ;) If you wanna have an idea of what’s possible in term of music direction, pick “Hyper - Spoiler” on spotify , and launch the radio associated with the title. (there might even be some Underworld tracks in here)

Controversy aside and reading the comments, I saw nobody talk about the real meaning of the joke ?
“I want more, guys” without a comma becomes “I want more guys” -> “Did you just assume their gender” because ingame you can create either a man or a woman;

As a dad of four kids, you should care about the state of human condition in some places you don’t see. So that one day you don’t get a call from the police asking to identify a victim as potentially one of your four kids.

So you’ve completely missed the point since the beginning. I wrote 2 potential reasons. 1 : secluding. 2: fame. Which is exactly what you’re trying to say here. And you’ve been focusing so much on videogames, are you having a parent judging you for playing videogames ? Anyway this is going circles, end of conversation.

Reminds me of ep.2 from Netflix’s Dirty Money. (great series, recommended a lot). These people need to be hit with a ten-ton self-justice hammer (like Kitboga does).

You’re putting way too much importance in my words, being overdefensive for an intention I never had. I’m not aiming at gamers specifically. Just saying that secluding oneself in anyway is disconnecting from basic human values, may it be gaming 90% of your time, living in a hut inside a forest, living alone without…

Fame, which also produces seclusion imo. Acting like shit is always bound to zero empathy, which is (in some cases) bound to feeling like having nothing related to said person + feeling superior. Or as Arppis wrote a few posts above, “power”. Most humans can’t handle power without losing their humility/empathy.

I was not specifically talking about article’s subject, but trying to find an answer to the post from which this reply is made, aka “so many pros”.

exchanging real life with a screen, anonymity slowly disconnecting themselves from baseline human exchange, hence from empathy ?

You know, all these new business models feel like going to a merchant, who timidly talks about all the useless stuff on his desk while you’re looking at the big thing behind him. At one point you just cut him and say : “Tell me your goddamn price for this thing.”

ouch ... how to destroy honorable intentions and any will to invest from other big dreamers ... I forgot that story.

Yeah, as a gamer, I find it really wonderful to see videogames production becoming a vector of national pride (it’s basically recognized as an art !), thanks to passion and dedication. I really wish them the best.

Hasn’t night mercenaries in trenchcoats been a bit overused for 40 years tho ?

June 2019 fits with government’s financial support deadline (yes, they are backed up by governement ! quite a premiere, which other government is doing that ?), so it would make sense :)

Really liked your questions and interjections, Jason. You know your subject, which leads the dialog into the right direction, unlike most other interviewers I read on other sites. Some site even asked an avalanche of generic gamedesign questions to a ... level 3D artist ... Result was 50% of generic answers, 50% of “I…
