Gizmo0;n9676871 said:I always thought GITS is more similar to Cyberpunk 2077, due to acceptance of cybernetics, where as BR its Humans vs Synthetics, so imho there is no bar to set. I think it will provide a lot of inspiration to Cyberpunk2077 story/depth wise and atmosphere, but it will be its own thing.
I don't think Bladerunner ever set the bar for what Mike Pondsmith was out to create because while they share some similarities, Cyberpunk doesn't share Bladerunners hopeless and depressing world, as its more grounded on what the future could realistically be like and its punk and rock in roll.
