So CDPR has listed many of their inspirations for this game, which stand out for you?
I'm just gonna separate this by medium but you don't have to if you don't want to.
Manga/Comic/Graphic Novel- Eden- It's an Endless World
I would have never heard of this if it wasn't for Mateusz Kanik name dropping it in an interview so thank you sir for that. I must say, this probably one of my favorite manga of all time and I'm glad they are using this as an inspiration because it is a fantastic piece of cyberpunk literature. Sex, drugs, murder, cybernetics, guns, hacking, desperate people doing dangerous things for mundane reasons. It's all here. Look it up and check it out. You owe it too yourself considering we got several years of waiting ahead of us anyway.
Video Games-Deus Ex
Blah blah yadaa yadaa best game of all time. You've probably heard it before but man I think it holds weight. It all about the design of this thing. It's brilliant really. You play how you want, when you want, and the game never restricts you to do something one way. Fantastic atmosphere and an entertaining plot and casts only helps. This ain't nostalgia talking either, played this game a decade after it was released.
Movies-Blade Runner
The grand daddy of the genre as far as visual mediums go. This movie is great and will continue to be great forever. The film noir style, the brilliantly authentic visual design and the gripping plot are timeless. Every fan of cyberpunk has to see this, a lot of good stuff here.
Books-I am ashamed to say I actually haven't ready any Cyberpunk books. :V I blame public school education failing me for not putting any William Gibson on my summer reading list. I will fix this shortly.
So what about you all? What's your favorite Cyberpunk media?
