I would say Daybreakers is definitely a sci-fi vampire movie (of which there also aren’t many) but I personally wouldn’t call it cyberpunk. Maybe there’s a twist I don’t remember, but I thought the corporation was simply trying to keep up with demand, not that they were doing anything outright evil to increase profits.
Well, The Breed is an interesting movie. Definitely not cyberpunk at all but it is a noir vampire movie, which I’ve never seen done before.
It was weird how the movie starts by saying “the near future” and yet all clothes, cars, and sets looked like they were from the 1940s. It definitely helped create a “film noir” feel, I just wish they hadn’t mentioned the near future as if this was supposed to be our world when it’s more of an alternate history. Overall, it’s not exactly an award-winner, but like you said, I don’t feel like I wasted my time watching it.
Yeah, as much as I enjoy Blade, I don’t think there’s any way I could justify it being cyberpunk. At least there’s [email protected] for those movies!
That’s true. Priest has an odd mix of cyberpunk city within the walls and wild west outside the walls (even though that makes no sense). Definitely a fun movie, but the vampires never show up inside the cyberpunk city. If only there had been a sequel…
I’ll set my expectations accordingly. I do enjoy vampires and tech-noire settings though, so I think I’ll be able to handle it.
Edit: And it’s on Tubi! I’ll definitely be watching it tonight now.
And how depressing is that?? For Ultraviolet to be the best example of cyberpunk vampires. So disappointing.
I’ve never heard of this movie. 😳
I’ll definitely check it out and get back to you, thanks!
Wow, the story sounds incredibly cyberpunk, the visuals look incredibly cyberpunk… and the gameplay looks incredibly irritating. I’m glad we live in an age of longplays where I can watch the entire game without having to actually play it. Thanks for sharing!
Have you tried using the Mullvad Browser then? It’s literally just the Tor Browser with the Tor parts removed. So it has all the security and anti-fingerprinting stuff but doesn’t connect to the Tor network.
Unless I misunderstood and you’re still connecting to the Tor network…
Ok, thanks. I’ve never read them so I wasn’t sure, but I thought I’d heard some people call it cyberpunk.
There will be soon, anyway.
We’re planning to create two books, six chapters each… The first book, which collects the first six chapters, will be out this summer through Dark Horse Comics.
Is that the one from 1994 or 2019? I haven’t read either, I’m just curious which one is better. The art looks cooler in the 2019 version but for all I know, the story may be worse.
Oh, Deathburger! He’s the guy that made those cool covers for the Sprawl trilogy. I didn’t realize he had a narrative book, neat!
Perfect, thank you!
I really do need to read this one someday… It just seems overwhelming with so many issues. Do I have to read the whole thing? Is it all one cohesive story? Or is there a good stopping point somewhere in the middle where I can decide if I want to keep going?
Yes, I think Edgerunners is more punk than the 2077 game. Good call!
Oh good call. Dedsec from Watch_Dogs 2 is exactly what I’m thinking of. Thanks for the reminder!
Ok, you convinced me. I forgot about Vitaly Chernobyl and the Meltdowns.
True, YT is pretty anti-establishment. I’m not sure if The Deliverator is a punk though. He’s more of just a bad-ass.
Not to my knowledge… Does it?
