I don’t think the original Perfect Dark was cyberpunk (it was mostly about aliens, right?) and this new Perfect Dark doesn’t really look cyberpunk either so I probably shouldn’t be posting it here. But something about the gameplay/setting looks like a solarpunk version of the Adam Jensen Deus Ex games so I still wanted to share it with this group.

I don’t know. I’m not sold on this new reboot, but I’m intrigued.

    That’s interesting! It definitely has some of the visuals often associated with solarpunk (I’m not really a fan of the sleek plastic metropolis look personally, I much prefer solarpunk to be punk and emphasize stuff like creative reuse, but the visual art in the genre is lousy with this stuff and the game makers executed it well from what the trailer shows). I think there’s still room for this to be cyberpunk depending on how real or widely available this area is - if it’s some company park or an enclave of the rich, and wealth disparity still exists, I could see it being cyberpunk in content if not aesthetics at least. It does look very cool, thanks for sharing it!

    Is the MC also a younger version of Captain Coffee Janeway? Cause that’s the look I’m seeing from the model.
