"Whether the target is alive or dead... is irrelevant."

Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl
Conditions for Receiving Bounty:

Bring the brain of a wanted criminal possessing illegal Somadea to authorities. Whether the target is alive or dead… is irrelevant. 

The year is 2099. Humanity has advanced, overcoming all injuries and illnesses with the development of the Medical Android Technology “Somadea.” However, along with the development of Somadea, crimes misusing said technology have rapidly increased. Somadea grants physical abilities far superior to those of normal flesh and blood, and by illegally modifying it, Somadea can be misused for criminal purposes. To deal with these Somadea crimes, the government established the Bounty Hunter System. Civilians registered as bounty hunters are permitted to kill illegal Somadea users designated as wanted criminals by the police. In return, they are rewarded with large amounts of bounty money. In this unforgiving world, Ubu Kamigori makes a living hunting down criminals as a bounty hunter. But one day, when she returns home from a job, she finds the man with whom she has a sordid history waiting there – Mr. Elegance. And so, her destiny begins to unravel. A tale woven by mechanical girls and the smell of gunpowder smoke, this suspenseful action begins!

Survive in a War Torn Dystopian City...

REMINOR - BLACK EARTH

Black Earth is our first music video. Work was started in May 2011, after the release of our debut album. Specifically for the video we rearranged the song and rewrote it in a more heavy sound. The plot expands the concept illustration for the Black earth, which in turn outplays with the idea of the song. The main influence on cyberpunk and noir atmosphere and graphic style has had a manga "Blame!" by Japanese artist Tsutomu Nihei, you can also mention the game "Limbo" studio Playdead. This is the first experience with animation, it was a lot of trial and error. We hope that this is not our last clip. Persons under the age of 16 must be present adult :) War, fight, cyborg soldiers, robots and ruined city in mist always attract interest. Good viewing.    - ReminorBand

Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay: The Ultimate Preview

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. It is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 19, 2020, and Stadia at the end of the year. Adapted from the Cyberpunk franchise, it takes place in dystopian Night City, an open world with six distinct regions. Players assume the role of V, a customizable mercenary, in a first-person perspective, acquiring skills in hacking and machinery, an arsenal of ranged weapons, and options for melee combat. Both lethal and non-lethal play-throughs are possible.

Cyberpunk 2077 is being developed using the REDengine 4 by a team of 500, exceeding the number that worked on the studio's previous game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt launched a new division in Wrocław, Poland and partnered with Digital Scapes, Nvidia, and QLOC to assist with production. Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith is a consultant, and actor Keanu Reeves has a starring role. The soundtrack features music by Marcin Przybyłowicz, P. T. Adamczyk, Paul Leonard-Morgan, and numerous pop artists.

▶ Watch the Video

Cyberpunk 2077 is played in a first-person perspective as V, a mercenary whose voice, face, hairstyles, body type and modifications, background, and clothing are customizable. Stat categories—Body, Intelligence, Reflexes, Technical, and Cool—are influenced by the character classes that players assume, which are NetRunner (hacking), Techie (machinery), and Solo (combat). The perk tree branches into melee, blades, handguns, shotguns, rifles, sniper rifles, hacking, two-handed combat, assassination, "cold blood", engineering, and athletics. V must consult a "ripperdoc" to upgrade and purchase cyber-ware implants; black markets offer military-grade abilities.

The rarity of any given equipment is shown by a colored tier system. V can take cover, aim, run on the ground and walls, jump, double jump, and slide. With arm blades, V may climb walls and, like with other close-combat weapons, deal melee strikes. There are three types of ranged weapons, all of which can be customized and modified—Power (standard), Tech (which penetrate walls and enemies), and Smart (with homing bullets). Ranged weapons are equipped to ricochet bullets in a target's direction and slow them down in bullet time. Four types of damage can be inflicted and resisted—Physical, Thermal, EMP, and Chemical. Weapon use increases accuracy and reloading speed, which are manifested in character animations. Gunsmiths repair and upgrade weapons. The game can be completed without taking a life, with non-lethal options for weapons and cyber-ware.

The open world metropolis Night City, California consists of six regions—the corporate City Center, immigrant-inhabited Watson, luxurious Westbrook, suburban Heywood, gang-infested Pacifica, and industrial Santo Domingo. Its surrounding area, the Badlands, can also be explored. V navigates these locations on foot and in vehicles, which are customizable and subject to either a first or third-person view. In autonomous cars, V can more easily engage in gunplay. Pedestrians are vulnerable to vehicular collisions. Depending on the location, law enforcement may be alerted if V commits a crime. Radio stations are available to listen to. The full day-night cycle and dynamic weather affect the way non-player characters (NPCs) behave. V owns an apartment—in which to fetch weapons, get dressed, use a computer, bring NPCs for sexual activity—and a garage.

Night City features non-English-speaking characters, whose languages can be translated with special implants. "Braindance" is a device that allows V to undergo other people's experiences. Branching dialogues enable interaction with NPCs and actions in quests. Experience points are obtained from main quests and fuel the stats, while side quests yield "street cred", unlocking skills, vendors, places, and additional quests. Quests are acquired from characters known as Fixers. Throughout the game, V is aided by various companions. Consumables, like soft drinks, are used for healing, and objects can be inspected in V's inventory. Minigames include hacking, boxing, auto racing, martial arts, and shooting ranges. "Game over" messages only appear at the point of death; if a quest is failed, the game moves on all the same. Player choice leads to different endings.

Cloudpunk - Announcement Trailer

C L O U D P U N K

[Source: AnimeSuperHero] “Cloudpunk” is on its way to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime in 2020 [but nobody will say exactly when].

The environment of a futuristic city with flying cars in neon-lit caverns of so-called humanity appear to be heavily influenced by the popular feature film “Blade Runner”. 

The storyline, however, will not be you as the emotionally wasted cop Deckard chasing down rogue replicants like Roy Batty and falling in love with the Rachaels of the world. Instead, you will play as Rania, an employee of the sketchy delivery firm of the game title in the city which has been named Nivalis [which sounds like a combination of a hand cream lotion and an erectile dysfunction drug]. Since you are a rookie, it is your first night working for Cloudpunk, naturally, you will be meeting all the, shall we say, interesting characters who you will come across in your normal work night.

▶ Watch the Trailer

It is a story-based adventure game so you will meet a diverse range of characters beginning with lowlife scum of what passes for the Earth humans, androids, AI and just about everybody and thing in between on every level of this futuristic society. Since all the stories are intertwined, then Rania can experience massive changes in Nivalis even in a single night’s delivery work.

Exploring the city of Nivalis will take you everywhere you can venture, from the Marrow below to the spires that pierce the grey clouds high above before scraping the edge of the troposphere. No delivery job is too dangerous, and no one is faster than a Cloudpunk driver [apparently].

Features include…

• Exploring the immense vertical cyberpunk city of Nivalis with your hovercar and on foot
• Unraveling mysteries in a world of corporate conspiracy, hackers and rogue AI
• Discovering hidden places and items allowing you to unlock additional stories
